    The Shifting Altar of Uznair feels so rigged

    So, just did The Shifting Altar of Uznair roughly 5 times today, and no one ever made it past 4 intervals, it feels horribly rigged on the later spins just to kick you out, I don't want to complain but anyone else feel this way?

    It’s rng. Sometimes you win sometimes you don’t. Nothing you can do about it but try again. Though I must say that I find the new maps way more fun.

    They are as "rigged" and trolley as are the other Canals instances. Just accept these as they are. It always feels like the devs want to troll us, but in a fun way. But in the it's just RNG at work here.

    I definitely find the new maps fun, just very frustrating how on the last cycle it has always ticked over to an eject lol.

    Yeah it can be frustrating, though it’s all good fun in the end. The only hard part about maps in general is getting out rolled by everyone on loot. I just wanna make some gil!

    I dunno. I've run over 100 maps that have taken us to the shifting sands. Been to the end twice. Gotten the white elephant once. Never gotten an exclamation mark. Gotten thief's map once. The loot we get is worthless when it does drop which is hardly ever and the gil we receive is crap compared to the lost canals.

    The shifting sands odds are like that of the thief's maps. So I'm basically throwing maps away with little to no return because we barely ever go to the hidden canals anymore. Almost all the people I used to run maps with no longer want to run them because constantly losing is disheartening. This map mode should be switched to thiefs maps instead of regular maps or the return rate needs to be adjusted to make it worth it.

    I run a lot of maps and have a lot of maps groups. I find it hard to believe it's just bad rng for all of us when we have the same experiences. If it were just me I would believe it lol because I'm unlucky but all of us in the map link shell? No way. Constantly being disheartened and feeling like you're wasting your time running maps really sucks since we used to have so much fun running them before.

    At this moment in time, after performing a good number of runs, I 'm beginning to suspect (and confirm) that the rng involved is somewhat rigged-- likely based an on element or factor that is yet unknown
