    RNG on rolls, string of back luck?

    I have no idea why but today i have failed to get a Spring from Midas 3 and Midas 4 for the past 6 hours, every time i roll need i always score 10-30, i did once score 94 only to be beaten by a 98.

    What on earth is going on, i understand each loot is a new RNG and doesnt count previous attempts but come on...EVERY ROLL! Has been below 40 every single time and the winner is always above 90.

    Is there some stupid account based roll luck?

    I thought this but after 30 runs you would of thought i would at least got one...but nope i think there is back end code that determines roll luck. Cause mine has always been bad no matter what i do.

    Is this what they call "confirmation bias?" You rolled a 94 today.

    Someone else rolls a 98...after i had done it for about 20 runs why cant i just be given my drop? Others get theirs in 1 run, why should other suffer having to do 30-50 runs.

    This has been me with the Bismark bird. I have rolled mostly low, but when I rolled 74, 86, and 94 I was beaten by higher rolls. Just the way it goes.

    I am near at 200 runs so... don't complain about 50. Plus I believe the Animus weapons are starting back up so bird farming will have to go on the back burner for a while.

    RNG is RNG, bad rolls can and will happen. Randomness also means that you aren't gaurenteed to get a high roll after a certain amount of low rolls, and vice versa, it is completely possible to get a string of very good rolls.

    Only advice is to never leave until after what you are rolling for has been awarded. Sometimes your low roll still ends up winning (Gotta love beating a person's 5 with a 6!)
