The lotto winner.... number ZERO? Are you serious???

[Skivvy]

Unless you're one of the people that lost out on a house and now have to face more competition. Then it's infinitely less fair to you.

I didn't win my plot, and I still think a rollback would be the worse course of action.

If I was to guess what is happening, I'm assuming that they are doing an RNG roll between 0 and the number of entries. But instead of rounding up to the next whole number, they are just rounding to the nearest whole number which is why 0 can come out as a result. I am by no means an expert on these things (and I am sure someone will dunk on my code (it is likely wrong)), but something like this would have helped:

function getResult(numOfEntries){
let result;

result = Math.ceil(Math.random(0) * numOfEntries.length);
if(result == 0){
result = 1;
}
return result;
}

And the majority would and are choosing to keep their money, as I did with the lost bid to 0. They have the capability to take funds from accounts. If they want it, they can come and claim it. Just give me my plot.

If they do some type of reroll, I hope theres just an NPC or even the board that is like "You took the deposit back, you can have the plot if you return it!"
Would be the most convenient solution, but if they cant code a lotto, I doubt they can code that

Don't claim refunds that will probably remove you from any potential incoming fix. I suspect they'll have a hotfix real soon.

I was so angry I didn't want my refund back. I want a house so I have been checking the forums before I make any moves. I guess my madness helped me out in the end and forum checking before moves is smart

May you have better luck in the future!

WTF

[Squid_Baby]

Damn, was not expecting to check the plot after waking up where only I had bid and be told that I had lost the lottery to 0. I hope there's some rollback but I don't see how that can be doable as others seem to have managed to get their fc houses just fine? Just genuinely disappointing how they keep messing housing up.

Laheebread was a bit angry he got removed from Prae. His final revenge was housing.

People are now saying that if you were affected by the bug, you shouldn't claim your refund because it might take you out of the lottery? RIP me twice over, then...

[Condygurl]

Winning number is zero for all 9 of our free company people who entered the same plot. Number generator is obviously broken and I hope you can fix this issue because we planned on moving to the new location TODAY.

Simple fix really…. Fix the number generator so that if 1 single bid goes in it changes the number start point from 0 to 1.

I claimed my refund because I didn't understand at first that it was a bug... countless players did the same. They caused the bug, they have to fix it for everyone, not just the ones who were informed enough to not claim refund. Crossing data isn't that hard, it just takes time. I'm willing to wait enough if I'm 100% sure I'll have my due (only bidder on a plot, I should have won, period).
