Some adjustments to the loot system?

[worldofneil]

More than one player can roll 99 on the same item. It happened to me few days ago.

Sorry, but no they can't. It's always more advantageous to roll earlier because of the chance of getting the higher numbers first so no one else can.

Were you perhaps in Omega and multiple of the same loot was dropped so you were actually rolling on different pieces? (or I appreciate what you said, but maybe you did just roll greed by mistake)

It's possible, but sadly I don't have any history screenshot or log to look at, so I will take you word for it


As for being better to roll first, that has no incidence on your chance to get the best roll.

For example if you consider the chance to roll a X for a light party with the blind roll system used by the game, this is how it goes:

First player has 1/99 to roll X
Second player: 98/99 (the chance the previous player has not rolled X) x 1/98 (possible rolls left) = 1/99
Third player has 97/99 x 1/97 = 1/99
Foruth player has 96/99 x 1/96 = 1/99

So regardless of the order of vote, each player has 1/99 chance to roll X (X being any number including 99).

Said otherwise without numbers, rolling first gives you the first chance to roll 99, but at the same time it increases the chance for other player to roll 99 if you did not. The effect cancels each other chance wise.
