Things that make you angry while playing GoW

If it makes you feel any better, this isn’t actually as unlikely an outcome as a lot of people probably think it is. The odds of pulling one specific dragon four times in five pulls is roughly 1-in-300 if I’m doing my math correctly; with six distinct dragons, the odds that somebody pulls any dragon (not just Amethialas) with that frequency in that few attempts is roughly 2%.

It’s not likely, but it’s not so obscenely unlikely that we shouldn’t ever see it. Between what we all read in these spaces and what we hear from our guildmates who don’t post here, most of us should probably have direct knowledge of somebody falling into that misfortune once enough people have cashed in a sufficient number of Gem Dragon Eggs.

Thanks for trying, but when you are in these shoes it is kinda impossible. I just stop playing instead, and close the game for today etc.

Except, I didn’t. I did the crazy thing one must do to play GoW effectively: started a spreadsheet (which also made me angry btw), tracking doors like a maniac. It soon became evident 4, 5 and 6 had better odds, though different across the two accounts, so I adjusted my strategy accordingly. I’ve been following the threads, using the tool, but still, one account is consistently “unlucky”, hitting the 1 in 3 outcome far more often than not. Maybe in the long run, it will even out. But for now, sure doesn’t seem fair.

Same luck on descending stairs too, level 11 on one account, level 3 on the other? BS :rage:

Come over and use the tool. I’m running now 75% perfect runs thanks to the tool- Its on the other thread New Dungeon Screenshots & Discussion Thread

I like the tool, and have had good results from it, but touting “75% perfect runs” is setting up unrealistic expectations for it.

And yeah, as previous post says, I wouldn’t advertise 75% rate for it, people will be disappointed. But statistically, “better than 10%” could be achieved lol

We are assuming that it is somewhere around ~35% currently with the tool

The tool is outdated already, the devs “fixed” the rng on dungeons today.

It really goes to show that they’re more than keen to fix things that might work around their janky, biased rng generator.

Talk about waste —

Also the kind of comment that could make a dev perk up their ears and get more concerned about something than is actually warranted… :no_mouth::face_with_spiral_eyes: :tired_face: (for reference I hadn’t been on forums for a week or two and hadn’t seen it)
