You can't even code a simple random number picker correctly.

But now, you guys, sat wherever you are, can't even make a random number picker work correctly.

Yep, my FC is full of sprouts and lower level players, they're up and coming, your TARGET audience. They've saved just north of 50 mill combined between around 15 active players.

They/we were all so giddy with excitment for the Lottery, I knew there was a fairly large chance for disappointment in the lottery, but that's life.

Little did I know they would be completely decimated by you, the creators of the game.

I was around for the continual demise of WoW, the current state of this game is echoing something of that, around the same time as MOP.

How this EVER could have gotten through Q+A - I hope the person responsible loses their job irrelevant of seniority.

One: You're a horrible person for wishing joblessness on someone for a simple fixable mistake.

Two: You're completely wrong on the source of the problem anyway, the RNG did fine: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...7fcff58ee4f9c5

Wat, armchair experts were wrong!?!?!?



I wonder if people will admit they were wrong and apologize, or if they'll just move on to something else.

There's a lot of wishy washy language in that post. If you look at the 2nd part, they say a lot but don't exactly say what went wrong.

They say that it was a communication issue between the server that handles the lottery and the server that handles the housing data. Not sure how that is them not saying what went wrong.

Could have been a network issue.
Could have been a database deadlock of some sort (seems most likely if the lotteries were all done at the same time).

I'm not sure that any additional details would necessarily change anything. I guess I'm confused on what more you were expecting.
