RnG is ruining this game

[Thurmnmurmn]

Have you ever read any paper, research, ... anything at all? Do you realize every paper's result is statistically possible to be false? What is this pedantic nonsense

This is not a research paper mate. you did the math on a hypothetical for 1 persons rng experience. Where it is statistically possible for it to happen to 1 person, you would need more than 1 sample for this to mean anything on your end. Hence why I quoted teamcraft as a much larger stat and actual real evidence (only if you "include misses" fish).

Here's a real example. I was trying to catch a fish that was essentially 50% success rate for a mooch (it was like 47.8%, just rounding up for simplicity). I got the wrong fish 8 times in a row. I later got the right one a bunch for it to even itself out but if you focus on JUST the unlucky stretch then it looks like HORRIBLE RNG https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i...+and+p+%3D+0.5.

Point is, RNG can be a bitch. Doesn't mean its bad RNG.

People that complain about rng on ff14 would hate ff11 and spending possibly years for a piece of important gear to drop with less then a 1% droprate. ff14 is pretty tame with its rng.

Ahahahaha.

This is about missing a fish after two windows?

That isn't even worth busting out the statistics calculator for.

Buddy, get back to us when you spend 2 years failing to catch a fish, then maybe we'll consider your luck to be statistically improbable.

Failing two windows isn't bad rng, that's just normal fishing. Catching something first cast is just extra good rng that, more often than not, gets balanced by struggling with something else.

Getting salty over missing a fish is usually a sign that big fishing isn't for you.

For a hot second I thought this was a take on the endwalker combat design because it does kind of turn into RNG with how it works in savage. One person forgets to mit and everyone dies, or one person so much gets touched by something and dies.

If you cannot stomach this level of RNG behind big fishing then it really probably isn't for you - Just being blunt.

They are big/legendary fish for a reason, and it isn't because you can catch them with little effort whatsoever.

In fact, people in this game are so fortunate when it comes to this game -- They are incredibly lenient with RNG.

Can't really call that RNG, it's just player failure. Is it boring design? Sure, but it can still be prevented by just playing correctly.

RNG in fishing is one of few content that we have without a deterministic nature
let it be, find another thing to complain about.

[TMW001]

Nah this game has one of the more lenient rng compared to most other mmos or even JRPGS I've played

[Ravenblade1979]

Man, no one tell op that irl fishing rng can be much much worse

Took me 1.5 years to catch the freaking ruby dragon.....
