Rulette

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 1:33 am

I know its ment to be random but in the last 400 items I have gambled i got about 10 bags of sending 2 skill deads (20's), no arties, 2 bag of resorces and 2 bags or reagents.

Considering i gambled mix's of high and low level arties ML's minors AOA's ps's LTOTS Gtots ect you maybe wanna take a little look and see whether rulette has a bug.
Now most people would say its wineing but 400 is probably proof its not.

The roulette probably isn't bugged but the odds can definitely use revisions. The whole roulette system is probably due for an overhaul in what it can accept and how rare/common and valuable items are.

All it comes down to though is it's all gambling. Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some. There's nothing bugged out about that part, that's just how it works. The game is the plaything of the random number generator where the odds can either work for or against you.

If you are sacrificing something common, such as power scrolls and lesser treasures of tokuno, then you aren't going to get great odds. Even with high stake items like doom artifacts you may walk away empty handed (but less likely).

You can use this guide to try to improve your odds but remember, just because you have a high chance, doesn't mean you are guaranteed something good. I have revised it based on the most recent roulette.cs script:

i dont remember who is was but i caught one of you spining tots and 105 deeds and was complaining about never winning. If we made everything payout even as high as 1 out of 10, people like bubbles would have 100x the loot they do, and its not luck its simple numbers. the more you do and more often the more you get. You cant expect to spend 2 hours a day and accumulate what people like altar and bubbles have with literally years and years of collection of lots of play time and big numbers.

How much time do you think it took to collect about 100 ltots and gtots. 50 ML and minor arties and about 200-300 ps's and some AOA's for good measure

Rulette is well and truely fragged.

It seems, to me, to be working the exact same as it always has. I've failed regularly with Doom artifacts, and I have gotten Greater AoAs with 105 scrolls.

AoAs aren't the top items in the game, that title likely goes to player crafted stuff. If you are going for something with a special ability outside of stats, like the Grim Reaper's Scythe or the Staff of Moses, then perhaps I can help you out (I'm pretty sure I have Moses Staff I don't need). It can be maddening when you want something specific and you are battling the RNG, so if you need something, let me know.

It has been said in the past that luck has a small influence on it, I don't recall anything specific being mentioned. Just in case I only do it with a char with high luck.

What you gamble has more to do with it than anything, and even then, it's random, without a high chance of getting anything necessarily.

I gambled a bunch of Doom arties and GAoAs (the highest gambling chance) as well as lesser things when I was there last time and basically came away with nothing (because the GAoAs I won I just spun again).
You might as well complain you went to Las Vegas, played roulette 10 times and didn't hit your number once.
That's not broken, that is the likely outcome.
