Bring back weekly Item limit on Sycrus Tower, please!!

Ok I've thought through my last post above some more and I think I'm onto why for large groups looting on one item (like 24 for ST minion) there's often a person delaying the roll. I thought before they were just trying to troll people into giving up and leaving. Now I think they just want to be the last to roll. If 23 people have rolled on something, and you're number 24...and you can't roll the same number as anyone else... there's currently one roll that's the winning one of the group, and twenty-two losing rolls which are no longer possible for you to get. Could be the highest number already drawn is a 99 and winning is impossible, or could be it's only 85 and yet you roll a 12 and lose anyway. But I'm thinking the person who rolls last has improved odds over whoever rolls first, and that's easier to see when you consider a situation where 24 vs 8 people roll on something.

who said that two people can't have the same number?

thats not how dice rolling works.

Almost reminds me of the few people who in FFXI said they shouldn't reduce the entry fee to Dynamis, and later shortening the lockout to 1 day instead of a week due to more people farming.

Aside from that isn't there a lockout on the "need" button when it comes to gear instead of sand, oil, and tomes?




Don't they do that in Guildwars2?

I think so. I know they do it in TESO(If memory serves correctly. I forget, haven't touched that game since release)

I'm very intrigued then... so when you saw two players with identical high rolls at any point in the game, which one got the loot? Or did it give one of whatever it was to each of them?


You have seen this happen, right? Two people rolling the same high number?

[LalaRu]

Never had see two people with same number. I just guess when you roll, you roll a number that still havent already given. More than dice roll, it is a lotto draw.

My thoughts exacty.

Yeah, two people can't roll the same number. It's like drawing from 99 straws. Once one is taken nobody else can get it.

[Sparktacus]

Are you sure. In 11 people could have the same roll and this was 0-999 not just 0-99. In that case the tiebreaker was always dealt with by giving the item to whoever rolled the number first.

Oh, and because I just noticed this in a sig:

Commendations.
If I play dps I only give it out to other dps.
If I play tank I only give it out to healers.
If I play healer I only give it out to tank.

Only if they should be getting a commendation.

Sounds like a very poor system to me. By all means, try to balance the roles who get commendations, but it sounds like you are just doing it according to what you are playing, rather than who was the best contributing player.

Also read it, I know it doesn't come to the thread, and I write it too late but... I have been reading that signature too many times and thinking: "..... Really?" Seems like laziest way to do it, or you analyze well the work and effort put by all party members or you rather don't give it randomely. (In my case, I don't give commends in 8 players content, because I can't be tracking what the other 7 dudes do and it would be unfair to give it randomely) In 4 players.... Since I play all classes I know when someone does it either extraordinary good or puts a lot of effort, that one gets the commend. (Yes, 95% of the cases there's someone putting quite more effort than the rest, it is rare to find a super party in DF playing with full passion)

Yes, it's different in this game. If it could happen in this game, we'd be seeing it happen a lot more often (as opposed to never, because I've not seen it happen) with 1/10th of the numbers to choose from.
