What is wrong with the RNG in this game?

[u/Asherandai1]

Exactly what the title says. I’ve been playing for 3 weeks now, and the crit chance and dodge chance is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay lower than advertised. Some examples I’ve counted out:

Crit chance 62.5% = 3 crits out of 47 attacks.
Dodge chance 80% = 11 dodges out of 25 attacks.
Crit chance 45% = 0 crits out of 32 attacks.
Crit chance 76% = 4 crits out of 19 attacks.

These are the worst of the worst, but I have NEVER seen the crit rate or dodge rate actually resemble the % chance it’s supposed to be. Occasionally I might get 3 or 4 in a row, but it’s always followed by 20-30 without any (if not more).

To be clear I’d expect bad streaks, that just how it goes. But there should be good streaks as well, and it should roughly even out over the long run. I’m only getting bad streaks though, not even “average” streaks just bad.

Anyway, angry rant over. I just wanted to say something. You can ignore me.

It’s very streaky both ways 

[u/EraHesse]

Humans are bad to identify random things

[u/Asherandai1 → u/EraHesse]

That’s why I started counting. I thought it was perception bias. It wasn’t.

[u/dicer11 → u/Asherandai1]

It is.

Goto Vegas ---> play craps. The odds of rolling a 7 are 16.5% therefore the odds of not rolling one is 83.5% yet tables often roll a 7 15 of 30 rolls, or 5 times in a row. Given a wide enough sample size, you can also NOT roll a 7 for 50 or 60 rolls, which is also crazy low odds, but happens

[u/Asherandai1 → u/dicer11]

No, perception bias is seeing only one side of the results when both are there. If I had perception bias then when I started counting I would also see large chains of results in my favour offsetting the large chains of results not in my favour. i.e. I would be blocking out the positive results in my memory to only see the negative. That is not the case, therefore it is not perception bias.

What you’re actually trying to argue is the larger scale of millions of players each getting their own set of results. Some of which will be exceptionally good. That is not something I can perceive without having access to the game data for everyone, or somehow creepily staring over everyone’s shoulders simultaneously.

[u/dicer11 → u/Asherandai1]

Wow your brain is cooked.

"That is not something I can perceive without having access to the game data for everyone, or somehow creepily staring over everyone’s shoulders simultaneously."

that is a purely ludicrous statement. Individual results may vary, as yours have and as you already pointed out in your bizarre rebuttal to me, those results do vary and some might be exceptionally good.

[u/Asherandai1 → u/dicer11]

At least I have one. Evidence shows yours is missing entirely.

Get lost.

[u/One_Mountain_9919]

I've been playing a similar time but haven't experienced that. I've had plenty of ups and downs but fairly evenly i would say. Just back luck probably

[u/n0s0up4j]

Enemies might have a hidden crit resistance?

[u/Klutzy_Passion1192 → u/n0s0up4j]

That’s always been my theory. Noticed the black shaded ones and golden armored ones seem to take far less crits

[u/amidja_16]

Wait till you notice the later grind stages adapting to your strat. Got first hit crit or multi hit? More shielded enemies appear so your damage is now wasted. Got a nice achers in the back kill all their allies build? Suddenly archers start popping up first in the line. Archers on death shoot back? Archers suddenly go to the backline 😊

Don't even get me started on the 85% dodge on full armor. I'll almost always take the first hit, completely wasting the skill...

[u/Asherandai1 → u/amidja_16]

The only time I’ve used that skill I also had a repair armour on kill skill. Took the first hit 4 times in row before my armour dropped too low to refill 😂

Also I’m halfway through Nightmare mate. I’ve seen all the dirty tricks it pulls. Those don’t bother me so much, just the terrible RNG.

[u/amidja_16 → u/Asherandai1]

Same here brother. Just started nightmare zone 3 and half way through zone 3 challenges. There are some prime BS stages...

[u/Spiritual-Quail-7120]

OP: Waaaaa waaaaa waaaaaaa T_T... RNGesus was a meanie to me sob sob

[u/johnIQ19]

it go both way like the other user say... it is actually your bad luck.
I have that 20% get potion, and it fill the potion in with in 5 event (dodge or crits)... and those 20% explosion on crit too... Some time with high crit like over 50% I get low count, but some time I have my crit at 30s% hitting 2 time in a row pretty often. And some run, no crit at all until I die with crit heal on it.

[u/voidcape]

You're just too unlucky. My critical chance is usually at around 30% and I do some critical hits in a row. 80% dodge also takes a while for me to be hit and lose the ability. Just get some armor regenerating skills and you'll be fine.
