The last two weeks, I've completed ~10 Weekly Assignments (mix of weekly and survival), between 4 characters. Of those, I've received 6 Ferro's Oxygen Masks, 2 Golden Rhinos and 2 Hungry Hogs. Considering how many exotics are in the game, this seems to be more than random happenstance. Is it intended that the weekly caches be "select" between a very few amount of exotics?
Has anyone else noticed a trend with these?
If so, I'll just stop doing them.
Thanks!
I got 7 Bullfrogs in a row.Originally Posted by Dukeduk Go to original post
It's not truly random.
So yesterday from Survival weekly cache i got Centurion pistol. Today with my 4th character survival cache first time ever give me some exotic and it was bullfrog and froom weekly cache i got another centurion pistol.
I would like to get shortbow knee pads i own one but would like to get better or on other character.
Mc cloves i have something like 5 or more. Barret vest i have 2-3 and loads of ninjabags.
One mask and lots of holsters to.
From guns i would like to get that eir or what ever it was and medved shotgun.
First day in 1.6 release i got one mdr from proficiency cache and one from lex mission.
It is random, its just got lots of wonky weighting going (even though they have said it doesnt). Only weighting specific items higher and lower percentage wise would cause this and apply it to all other conspiracy theories you can imagine with their core math. When they get additive and multiplicitve mixed up most of the time, can you imagine rand or float(rand)?Originally Posted by mckrackin5324 Go to original post
myreward=rand(item01+item02*100)/0 and always run on date 4-31-00
Any kind of bias modifier makes it not truly random. That's my point.Originally Posted by Solid_Stryker Go to original post
I think there's daily limits on some items as well. If you log on after they are all gone,you have no chance.
The reason I got 7 Bullfrogs in a row and 24 Tenebrae from LZ bosses is that at the time I play,that's all that's left in the pool. My guess...
Maybe your right, i still wanna know why I havent seen a single exotic from any field proficiency caches from underground or LZ. Not a single one since 1.5.. I have lost track of how many i have openedOriginally Posted by mckrackin5324 Go to original postbut I can run Lexington and LZ on all 4 of my guys and rack up tons of MC gloves, Tenebraes, Showstoppers, and Cadecues like they were handouts.
I have never gotten any of the named boss gear pieces like Barretts, Bliss etc...and I rerun missions, do regular HVTs, LZ bosses, DZ extractions etc...and not one.Originally Posted by Solid_Stryker Go to original post
I have 3 exotic weapons, 1 Bullfrog because I had a Famas pre 1.6, a centurion pis til I crafted and a little SMG the name of which I can't remember.
I play quite a bit, at least 4 hours a day minimum at present as I'm able to relax and have the time and space to do so...long story.
Now 4 hours a day isn't a lot, not really.
A couple of hours early afternoon and a couple after 6 p.m
It's 28+ hours a week...certainly enough to expect a little more of a return than I currently experience.
I dont believe in luck anymore, luck is the intersection of preparedness and opportunity supposedly. I have been plenty prepared and i have been in every position in this game to generate enough luck by now after 2200+ hours and yet it still does not happen lol...RNGesus is not luck in this game, it is the devil.Originally Posted by GFlack Go to original post
