The /random and /dice commands.

[Camate]

Sorry for the big bump, but I have some information to share.

We originally planned to release the “/random” text command in patch 2.3, but due to a bug that was discovered we will be pushing this back to patch 2.4.

I miss that emote. I forgot it exist. Why we don't have it anymore? That was a fun emote. XD

How do you place a bug in a rand() function? And how does it take 3 months to fix it?
I am just curious really ...

Nothing is ever as simple as it should be in programming.

Only if you are yet to discover google.

I can't wait for this feature!

Zirael, let me reiterate what he said above because you seemed to have failed to acknowledge it. Programming is a very complex environment with strict deadlines, roadmaps, regression tests, and versioning. It is not as simple as "oh but look at da google." Just because it's easy doesn't mean they have developer time to fix it right now this close to the patch release.

Not to mention not every engine may handle the same formulae exactly the same....so while it is a basic thing, the fact a bug cropped up should prove that lol.

I am not a game DEV. My only assumption is that it's a low priorety thus why they're pushing it back to 2.4

rand() doesn't return a uniform distribution of numbers, they'd probably use something more complex.

also, i imagine the bug isn't just "Oh, our random command keeps returning 7, that's weird."
