[SC] Kappa 3 times and no rewards!

Hello,

I did 3 kappas during this event and I totally got no rewards apart from hon exp uri x4 etc.
there's a 25% to get nothing and 75% to get either LF-4 or herc or kappa booster

Now I did 3 kappas and I got nothing!! this can't be it right? Probabilisticlly, this is like achieving 0.25*0.25*0.25 = 0.015625% which is non-sense!

 

Thats not really all that rare, its 1/64 for it to happen, which isnt good odds, but still nothing insane..

To make you feel better i did 5 kappas, and no hercs ;p

 

no LF-4s or boosters too?

 

Most likely in a situation like that means the next few times you do the gate you will receive something, i did kuiper like 6 times before i got 215k uri and then got it 2 out of the 3 next times i did the gate. Can only try again and good luck.

 

will do the next 3 kappas, will tell ya about the rewards

 

who told you them odds ... and don't say darkorbit wiki because that is not an official big-point site that is made by players info

 

TBH you could come up short on your next 3 Just keep on pushing through. IF your lucky you'll get several Hercs and LF-4s in a row

 

You have to remember there is NO PERCENTAGE to these rewards. These are CHANCE REWARDS and has nothing to do with how many you do or what rewards you have been awarded or not. It all depends on how many people are doing the gates at that time and how the CHANCE system is working that day. Some people report they get a reward 13 out of 16 times and others report they got ZIP out of 16 times. There is no RHYME or REASON to CHANCE rewards. It has been stated many times CHANCE is not a FAIR system for D O players.

 

Could you be so kind to link me to the official announcement where this is stated? I must have missed it. Thanks.

 

6 kappa and no hercules its all about luck
then i got 6 hercules from 3 kappa consecutively

 

my 4th kappa was a booster, 5th 2 hercs, 6th 2 hercs

 

Here is the >FAQ< for the KAPPA gate and notice it says CHANCE it does not say a percentage or a guarantee. My earlier statement is the only explanation as to why one person will get the rewards on every gate they do and the next won't get anything for every one they do.

 

Chance, probability, call it what you want. The chance of something occuring is normally measured in percentages. What you are trying to explain is called probability and it seems to me like you lack basic knowledge on the subject.
Unless the chance for a reward is 0% or 100%, there is no way to predict the outcome and the rewards people get will be very different.

But okay, let's say there is no percentage involved and the rewards are distributed by an algorithm made by Bigpoint, how exactly do you know the specific factors are things such as "how many people are doing the gates at that time" and "how the CHANCE system is working that day"?
To know this you would need to know the exact algorithm used, and to know the exact algorithm used you would need to have access to the server code.

And another thing, Bigpoint recently published the rewards in the event boxes and the chance of getting them, measured in percentages. Why would the gate rewards not also be distributed based on a percentage when all these other things are?

 

not this double gg but the previous one, i did 10 zetas and didnt get a single havoc....

 

I am giving my OPINION on WHY one person can post that they receive the SPECIAL REWARD so many times and others receive it ZERO times. The only thing that calculates out is that BigPoint/D O has an award system that is like a completion/checkout line, when you complete the specific gate you are placed in this line and every REWARD is issued on a certain rotation (whether it is every other completion or whatever) it could be for every REWARD to be issued the gate has to be completed by 9 people (this is just an example of my thoughts), so 2 people will get nothing and 1 person will get 1 of the 3 rewards. The more gates completed the more rewarded items are given but there are always those 2 that get nothing and it all depends on the exit line out of the gate.

As far as the Event Boxes they know how many of each item is produced during a SPAWN CYCLE and so they know how many of each item is distributed in the maps so you have that percentage of a chance (assuming you were able to collect every box of the SPAWN yourself) but then these are placed in 25 different maps/per server which is why one person will see items and another person will not see anything of consequence.

This is why I believe the CHANCE SYSTEM has no place in D O and should be a system of collection (after collecting "X - Y" amount of items you collect a coveted item) so that everyone has the ability to see the light at the end of the tunnel not knowing the LUCKY will be UFE while they struggle to become FE. This should be applied to the G G System also, meaning you do a Kappa gate "X" times and you know you will receive a SPECIAL Reward (not necessarily the one you want but 1 of the 3), by doing this you achieve a symblance of balance to the unbalanced game known as D O.

 

Actually the drops are based on a random chance each time, just like the roll of a dice. There is no queueing system. Each drop has the same chance each time. Just like if you were to roll a dice 6 times you may get 6 sixes or none at all. You may also not roll a 6 for a hundred rolls.

I hope this clears things up

Thank you. It was nice to get this confirmed.

 

13 in a row no hercs, hey ho I've always been lucky. On an old account I did 25 in a row for no havocks, someone at big point doesn't like my chat banter

 

Ive done around 30 kappas and 2 hercs, and 1 kappa booster

 

42 kappas = 10 hercs...GL, but got boosters/LF-4s to nothing at all. Main focus was the hercs.
