Turn 6 Loot Bug!

[Lyrinn]

LOL this was the same thing for T1 back in the day. Dragoons had their turn now its MNK belts and Healer hands! Of course it was RNG then too, amirite? Does anyone know the odds required for the same three sets of drops to be identical three weeks in a row? PS you should post in the bug s forum. Or if a troll you got meh!

Did you not read or do you just choose to ignore certain details to make snarky comments? I said unless other groups are experiencing this same issue and 3 points of data is not enough evidence. The difference between this and T1 back in 2.0? Lots of people were reporting constant DRG drops, not just one or two. This thread is the first time I'm hearing of any supposed RNG shenanigans, and I know a lot of groups running T6~8. Now, if the OP continues to see the exact same two drops for, say, another two weeks, then it'd be a different story.

Again, I saw the exact same drops from T4 three times in a row ... out of 30+ runs. Guess T4 is bugged, right?

We keep getting DRG hands in T6 every week for the DRG that nobody plays, well goes to alt jobs but yea that doesn't help us.

YOU think thats bad? Our First Three Clears of T5 with my static Were smn book monk body. Over, and Over, and Over again.

Dear Devs!

My coil group has gotten the exact same loot from Turn 6 (Second Coil of Bahamut Turn 1) since we started beating it 3 weeks ago. 3 Monk belts and 3 Healer hands. We chalked this up to a bug because we know SE wouldn't design a loot system that is this terrible. We also lost 3 members of the group because of lack of moral from this bug ontop of the atma depression. Please fix this bug ASAP so they come back. thank you

Why don't you use the bug reporting system built into the game instead of the General Discussion forums where no-one is likely to see it. I highly doubt it's a bug, but hey, report it and see what happens.

Are you having the same people open the chests each time, there's some theories out there that what pops could be related to what deity the person has, so try different people opening and it could clear up, if it's consistently the same drops even with different people opening, then yeah, high chance of it being a bug.

My group has received 3 healing earrings in a row, but the other chest has been different everytime. =/ Still obnoxious though.

Maybe it's a bug, maybe it's the same person opening the chest, maybe someone in the group didn't rub a trout on their tv screen for good luck. Whatever it is, it's a terrible loot system, and progression should not be left to RNG, making things a million times harder for certain groups due to being unlucky. We currently have T8 at 15%, and that's with everyone using multiple X-potions of w/e main stat. So many people had high hopes for things being even slightly easier for us this week, and then we got slapped in the face. And then people quit.

Anyways, now that I see someone did the math, the odds are quite astronomical that this happened. And someone else posted other people are having the same issue and it's being discussed on BG. Could you post a link to this thread by chance? Turn 1 had bugged loot chests, maybe it's happening here too. Hopefully we don't have to wait several months like last time for it to be fixed.

i think it's just bad luck. our group has only had 1 item repeated (healer gloves) since we've started clearing.

rngeezus just hates some people.

It's this kind of thing that makes me wonder what the seed is for the RNG for the chests. If they seed using the clock knowing damned well people run on schedules and are likely to down a Turn around the same time every week then they may need to rethink the seed.
