i am wondering, my drop rate? am i cursed? pls read!

If only, my curse goes from faaaar before that cloak xD I don't know if I should cry or laugh about my drop.

 

This has to be the most common complaint in the game and the most talked about. When I play, I keep an excel spreadsheet to keep track of what I get and from where across all 4 of my characters. I'm trying to compare apples to apples.

Recently I've been playing with groups and asking what they get during specific runs. More often than not I am the newest player.

During this most recent event, I've been getting legendary drops while the unique drops have been less than what others are getting. However, when I am getting the unique drops, like Dragan, I've gotten the cape more often than the pauldrons.

Most "talk" I've heard is about the lack of cape drops and I have been experiencing a lack of pauldrons. In my first 16 runs on Dragan, I got 9 capes. In the total 28 kills I've only gotten 2 pauldrons.

The randomness is always unique to the specific player. While you may not get certain items that others are getting, you are also receiving items that others wish they could get.

 

yes .. i'm a war and i've dropped TWICE ring of inner fire XD (the most useless unique for war class)

 

There is no such thing as "random" in a computer program.

 

This is correct. Computer programs can produce pseudo-randomness, based on code that is written to emulate randomness, but it's never truly random. However, a somewhat convincing argument can be made that there are no truly random events in the universe; only the outward appearance of them. I don't actually buy that argument, though. I'm just taking on the role of "devil's advocate" in this case. I mean, how would it look if an officer in Disciple Of Chaos admitted he didn't believe in true randomness in the universe

 

No luck in a program either, but for the player falling into the correct algorithm at the right time is random (unless you know the code).

 

Actually that's not true either, some kind of counter must exist. Or you really believe that :binary Agathon: has blessed you when you get some unique? It can be anything; kill counter, money, resources, biggest dmg (when in group), global server counter(how much and when was the last drop on that server(and all the other myths that players "invented")) etc., or all of them together? One thing is certain.., randomness does not exist in a man-made thing. Except if developer team aren't send from the heavens. Yup, they are "the Creator" and only they can know how this actually works. The only thing we can do, is to keep shooting.

 

for me all of this "random,luck e.t.c" sucks! i just want normal drop! i believe if i charge money here ill get much more droprate and that's not fair what if i dont want waste my money in game and i like wasting money on real life with my friends? this is true i know for sure i know alot of ppl who was charged money and they got alot of uniques and not only uniques. so im waiting for another patch which gives us same droprate which have payers!
PS: for me good player can farm and get best char without paying. im calling them creditcards

 

I'm a paying player and have one of the weakest characters in the game, so if drops were based on money then that wouldn't be the case.

I don't pretend to know the algorithm used to control who gets what and when, but I have played with free players who have much gear than I have.

The obvious difference between them and me is that they have played the game longer.

Everyone wants the drop rate to reflect the way they play and it seems that no one is completely happy with the current system but I have yet to see any solution that would make everyone happy.

When drops are too easy people complain. When drops are too hard people complain.

 

There are elements beyond player control, which guide the drop rates and return on player investments: the company and the programmers who develop the game, and their ability and efficiency to deliver a reliable product. Considering the numerous, ongoing quality problems, players know how we rate with DSO.

 

Well from what u're saying i'll never get what i want
but u might be right ,just like the others say there is no such thing like random drop here ,mathematic calculation plus your id
whole true about "random drop in dso "

 

If anyone remembers, old Toby was explaining how drops are working, it was on old forum but i can't find it.

 

I remember of my studies and this topic was one of the topics.
I am quoting one excerpt and not giving link ... because you don't need it.

 

Only the Enlightened person knows it !!

 

well i don't care "random" or which program is working on our droprate but 1 thing is for sure that we don't getting our uniques and someone getting that item 2-3 times i just telling that is not fair and GM's must do something. BTW im opening everytime amulets, rings e.t.c need crit but always getting low stat items and cant playing pvp without crit DMG and crit chance thats why i need khalys cloacked wrath. maybe DSO "god" will gift me 1 time or will say "Georgiaftw u must do that thing to get it" im not counting anymore how many times i killed khalys!

 

Told you few post above what you must do to get it, but you won't listen to me.

 

EDIT
dude you are fanatic )) there is no rituals e.t.c this is just game which was made by real ppl and with scripts and with programs! i think u are 13 y/o if u believe that

 

I will have 11 next month, but why is that important? You asked for advice about your drop rate and i answered, it's on you now do you want to accept it or not. But mark my words, you won't get anything if you don't do this in post above. If you don't want a khalys sword then suit for yourself.

 

Why even stress bout the "randomness" of unique items and non-existant drop rates? If DSO is now offering the newest Witch Hunter -Powerful set mind you besides the old set- for sale at Gnob, it shouldn't be long until ALL the unique gear drops end up being for sale. I'm predicting by 2015 Gnob will have all New Moon unique items, Powerful Sargon items including the 999 kill amulet, plus Keens/Roshans/Yachaks/Sparks being offered. Cost a lot of draken some of it but it's a motivating factor to keep the player base in game. You need to do the events to get the items eventually.

 

You don't gt it do you?
There is another method which works well. Zokin already confirmed it works.
Here is the link.
