The RNG algorithm in the game is random over a very large sample size, but is also incredibly streaky. Like I was overmelding gathering gear the other day and ended up melding several 5% chance melds within a few tries at most. But I'll then to on and fail 4 times in a row with a 95% success chance.

We need more roulettes.

Level 70-80 raid roulettes ( 99.9% are CT exclusively)
High level dungeon Roulettes ( Enough of tam/Cooper or any pre level 50 dungeon over and over )
High level Trials ( above 60 or 70)

And keep the ones now like they are.

Well we got wol as trial basically every day, while we had 2 weeks of smiletown for ex, leveling usually gives us a decent enough mix for now... but sometimes you really wonder if hte game wanna torment you lol

Yes and especially break off the 50/60/70/80 stuff, id prefer each for their own but doing 50/60 and 70/80 would be fine too...


Like it doesnt matter, if ppl wanna hardcore no life tome farm they gonna do it either way, be it trust, fate, hunts... id gladly do more rouletts bc i enjoy em and their randomness...

If that hadnt of happened we would still be in the dark.


Who knows what else lingers that is causing issues, your mount roulette observations included .

Reminds me of something that happened in the MMO Asheron's call many years ago. Some players complained that it seemed like as soon as they entered a dungeon they went to the top of every mobs agro list. This became popularized as the "Wi Flag" (named after the player, not the console that was years away). The devs said it was their imagination because they had gone over the code and found no issues, the players dismissed it as "derp random is random, it's your imagination" as they always tend to do.

Well one day...

I broke my Levelling Roulette. A week ago I farmed Ktisis hard, until I eventually got what I wanted. Then every Levelling Roulette I did since then was Ktisis...

I keep getting Holminster Switch, Dohn Mheg, and Qitana Ravel, and I hate it...

It happens to me before, like our random PT is above 80 and you know we get what? Halatali...

I've been consistently getting Paglthan and The Atiascope.

Have you ever missed 4 times in a row on a 99% gathering chance. I have, i have actually had it happened 17 times so far. The rng is sometimes just that bad.
