What is it with this fake rng?

@Retributor-draenor

6 chests from the weekly quests and got…
char 1 2x rigns(already had rings) ,
char 2 2 x belt(already hadb elt with socket),
char 3 2x feet (already had feet,. minor upgrade)

??? why no trinket weapon? or any other of the 12 slots?

rng is rng.

you see it best when you play like me on 13 chars and open 13 gv - on some of chars there are sometimes super long streaks of only garbage being in there but over the span of whole season it eventually evens out

you just have to play whole 6 months of each tier to see eventually mainly positive resoults.

weekly chest is another thing because thats routine. you always know ull most likely get duplicate UNLESS u do 12 dungeons…

but this event is meant for alts…quick gearing…not getting EXACT SAME ITEMS

[Totemtoez-aegwynn]

nah, they dont want you to catch up, they want you to waste time in time walking and then still have to farm 100 dungeons for crests
max playtime = max win

finally i got a trinket and then it is dragonfire bomb lol gg

thats what im thinking and from next week ill be playing only 1 char for 1 m+ and log out

I don’t know how blizzard has done it but most rng isn’t totally random and usually uses something like the servers or your pcs clock to generate a seed for the algorithm

Maybe if you open your chest at the same time, on the same toon, every week, that just forces these results, so try being more chaotic, open your laptop during lunch break on a friday and log in to open the chest, maybe the results would change?

its the loot table, i dont think we ever had so much diferent loot in a raids tier in a very long time.
Then add that ontop of rare items and the chances of just getting one is on the level of 1%

why do you assume its meant as quick gearing ?

its good way but your score suffers a lot

[Ishayo-tarren-mill]

All you have to do is be like the PvP’ers. That way you get so many chests that no amount of RNG can possibly make you fail.

Unfortunately you also get hand cramps from clicking the left mouse button so many times.

I am not joking for the following:

I have an alt which is 390 and has literally one piece on 437 (feet).

I got 0 pieces from raid - 2 times 8 bosses (in the last run (8 bosses) only 1 mage got cloth pieces, 1 head and 1 wrist, from the same boss. Nothing else on clothes or being able to need)

I got 437 feet on mythic dungeon weekly quest. I got the SAME 437 feet on timewalking weekly quest.

After that I stopped playing the alt completely and dont know if I even continue to do weekly quests.

[Zaggra-draenor]

Can confirm with PvP boxes. Out of 20 boxes one head, two legs, 7(!) Rings 5 of which are same stat, 5 necks 4 with same stat, 2 heads and rest shoes.
The amount of useless rings and necks is suspicious. Its rigged 100%
On previous char with PvP boxes I also got extraordinary number of rings, necks and duplicatey

This week yielded a belt, which was an improvement on ring and ring.

No RNG is truly random, but the leap from there to “and therefore you can consciously affect it” or “and therefore Blizzard has written an evil algorithm” (the more popular conclusion) is a long one.

If your idea had any basis in reality, then the swarm of players camping the vault to open it immediately at the weekly reset would have noticed the mechanism you propose years ago. Sorry

[Sendore-draenor]

The ENTIRE game is designed to waste your time, why do you think farming tmog in old content is rigged.

[Speedahx-dun-modr (Speedahx)]

The best regular reward you can get from the weekly chest, that is relevant for a “consistent character progression” is sockets. Having 8 +20 done can give you those extra ilvls, but the RNG would make that piece not be BiS, so the upgrade might not be that great.

Truth is that if you want to get every +20 done, you don’t really need the weekly chest RNG, you can get enough ilvl by spamming M+ and crafting gear, which can be socketed 1 socket per week without the RNG. If you want to push for R1 M+, that’s other story tho, but for the average player, it’s not a must.

For PvPers, everyone knows that when you are about to full cap your gear, sockets are the way to go in weekly chests, so RNG is still RNG, but it’s not the best pick for every situation, in the end, there isn’t rng in getting 6 tokens (1 socket) a week lol.

[Ewavy-ravencrest]

I seriously suspect a troll inspects your gear before populating chest. Never seen such bad luck. As for the weekly quest reward the amount of chars with 1 piece of heroic level gear getting duplicates is beyond lottery winning statistics.

[Alchemiczka-azjolnerub]

I mean, I’ve done the weekly on my aug and got the only tmog piece I didn’t have (I couldn’t get any upgrades at this point) so I think RNG is just RNG.
