    Void Ark Drops almost ever Time Lancer Gear.

    The title actually says it all.
    I did 3 Void Ark Runs today and got out of 24 drops , 16 Times Lancer Only gear.
    This has nothing to do with "random".
    the Lancer gear has obviously the highest drop rate in Void Ark.
    Pls look into this Trouble and fix the Drop rates.
    Picture Attached with what i mean.
    Both Last drops at Echidna are once again only Lancer Gear.
    more Pictures coming. -



    if posted in the wrong section , pls move it to the right one.

    The RNGesus doesn't exist. It's RNSatan.
    I've never seen the BLM belt drop from Void Ark.

    I also had mining nodes with 96% change to succeed fail 7 times in a row, yesterday. Do you know what the odds of that are supposed to be?
    ZERO. You have better odds of being stuck by lightning, but I've had that happen multiple times.
    The RNG is completely broken. Over thousands of samples, I consistently get worse than expected results based on the established percentages.

    People just remember the times when things went wrong against high odds more vividly, that's all.
    Also, please learn how probability works. Just because you failed to get your drop on one chest doesn't mean the probability of it dropping from the next will rise. It's still just as likely to drop lancer gear, just as there is still a 4% chance to fail your mining/craft/whatever. So yeah, wrong section, since this is just general bitching about bad luck and no bug report.

    Oh, and btw, 99% of all gear I see in Void Arc is MNK gear, I'd be happy to at least see something for DRG, even though I don't play it very often...just something that ISN'T for MNK, the only class I never ever play and no one in the party has, either

    It's been a month and a half since the patch dropped
    I've run Ex roulette every day at LEAST. Sometimes more.

    Only ONE. BARD. CHEST. DROP.

    Moral is RNG hates you, me, and everyone you love.

    No, failing a 96% chance is possible.
    Failing a 96% chance 7 times is impossible (a 0.000000000016384% chance). Just in case you were wondering, you are 20 times more likely to win the powerball lottery, than fail a 96% chance 7 times in a row.

    But continual statistical improbability on top of continuing statistical improbability points to a problem with RNG. My mining statistics are not even close to the percentages given.
    I'll bet dollars to pesos they have an error in their rng function.

    At some point it stops being bad luck and turns into bad programming.

    The RNG isn't working. Yes you are going to remember when bad things happen.

    Well remember RNG isn't actually truly random, they're probably just using a pseudorandom algorithm.

    Yes, but the algorithm is poor if it's giving terrible non-statistical results. Repeatedly.
    I'm both an Engineer and programmer. Anyways I was just throwing my two cents in, because it's something that bugs me all the time. The RNG is terrible or bugged. Or both.
