Please reconsider RNG system (Dev Request)

Easier said than done. Come over to my server and I guarantee that you will struggle for weeks to get a decent group together.

I find it hard to believe that it would take you weeks to get a decent group to farm Alexander normal 4 times roughly a week... It sounds more like you aren't even trying to find a group of people if it takes you that long.

Not sure how it looks like on your server but 90% of Shiva population are germans, who in most cases prefer to raid together (easier to communicate). Then we got 3 major FC which sell mounts and won't let in any "outsiders". Another group are moderate FCs whose members either spend 10 hours being AFK or won't come out of FC estates crafting or log in just to run a few duties and that's it. Then we got a handful of "freelancers" like myself, who are forced to raid with casuals who have no idea how to play their class.

This isn't just my observation but a fact. Whatever I do, whether its a farm or Sephi Ex I meet the same exact people often mixed with some freshers.

Being on Shiva myself I totally get your pain trying to find English speakers - the horrors of trying to fill out our static go on and on xD Also the raiding community is tiny. But getting a pf together for normal should work =/

I'll keep an eye out for any pfs, I'm always looking for stuff to do and my static always get our Midan gear in the first couple of days so I can't roll against you =P

Sorry to hear about your bad rolls, but random is random. There's nothing they can do to change it as then it wouldn't be random... (and if they did, what about the other 7 people and their rolls?)

They absolutely could change it just by making it where each person gets to roll on their own items. How would this be better you ask? It's simple, you clear A8 and open a chest just for you, that chest has 3 random drops that you can roll on, but you only get 1 item and you must roll on all 3. By keeping the current lockout you'd still need 4 items for a chest piece plus this method doesn't promise that after each reset you'll see a Midan Shaft, you might get a chest with two Midan Cranks and One Spring. Plus with having to roll on all 3 you're only going against yourself and might not even roll high on the item you want. I never understood why the loot distribution in this game rewards only one person when 97% of the content requires you to clear with a team. Even sports championships reward players who didn't even play the game a ring.

It should be that every clear awards a guaranteed drop, such as a Midan Cog (for Alex Midas). 20 Midan Cogs should be tradeable for whichever tarnished Midan item that you would like to purchase. This requires effort to be put into earning your drops, but also ensures that with the right amount of effort you will be rewarded by receiving the drop you were after even if you had really bad luck with RNG.

How do you "reconsider" the way dice work?

[starLivitation]

these mounts are supposed to be rare, whats the point of them if everyone had them? they could have just mailed it as a veteran reward if it was meant for everyone.

Yeah, because everyone clearly has the ability and patience to beat EX Primals 100 times each

I remember on an older MMO people had a theory that each character made is assigned a loot chance flag or number, eg 1-100. 1 being Super unlucky and 100 getting all the drops every time. So far i feel im almost around 10 on that scale, its totally made up ofc but it does make you wonder how the game decided RNG.

Also noticed those who seem to wait 2-3 mins to roll always get high numbers not every single time but its funny how they do it...maybe some sort of exploit?

[Saint_Angeles]

Ah the classic "rig the loot system for only me" post. You win some, you lose some. Your sub fee does not entitle you to get every drop whenever you want. Ive ran 200+ extremes since patch, seen 10 whistles, almost won 2, have none. I'm not going to whine for SE to change the entire loot structure because my number didn't come up. Don't play an MMO if you're not okay with it.
