Unlucky rolls

[Tusembobel]

Hi, I'm not new, but I want to hear other's opinions on issue I'm gonna tell you about. I'm making my first steps as 3-star crafter and recently I started doing Towers and Coils (couldn't do before on 19" monitor), but only 3 days ago I discovered there were yammy loot-mats in Coils. Trying to farm them Coils led me to nowhere - I'd not been able to roll > 20 for 2 days after 1'st lucky runs. So I wonder - is there some luck-nerfing system not letting you get your hands on too many precious items, or it's just my worst luck ever? I can see same ppl I do duties with rolling normally from 1 to 99. Me - basically 14 or 16.. Kinda fishy.. Also, is "need" choise dependable on your current gear-ilvl?

I too am a victim of the RNGsus. Many have complained about it before and the Devs have made a response:

Yeah.. yeah.. they can claim true random numbers, but that doesn't change the fact that it still sucks for the likes of us who end up not getting anything from end-of-dungeon drops that we're looking for because we get 1-20's and some other guy who was able to speed through Atma/Alexandrite got it done in three hours crowing about how the rest of the playerbase is lazy, etc.

It's just RNG. Everyone has good and bad days with RNG. The best I can say - though knowing full well it's no comfort on those bad days - is that you just get used to it. RNG doesn't hate you, it doesn't have anything against you or any special systems set in to spite you. It just is.

As for your second question, Need's availability is entirely determined by which class a player is in. For that reason, the best way to get relevant items for your class is to actually run as that class, or you risk someone Needing it away from you. Shared items though (Crafting materials, minions, sands of time, etc.)... nothing much you can do.

It'd be great if that were actually true. No, I've given up on progression that requires RNG of any type. When I need a positive outcome, it's almost always a negative requiring me to invest 5x the time compared to others I play with.
