Tales Of Tribute IS A JOKE! 21 Hands and 4 Wins Over 10 Hours

cagle0614 · September 18

I have 5 characters.
You have a daily quest for Tales of Tribute.
Over almost 10 hour period I played 21 hands.
Out of 21 games
I had a total of 4 wins
The system drops the cards guaranteeing the other player wins no matter what decisions you make.
Using different patrons in almost every single hand being random.
Taking risks
Not taking risks.
It does not matter!
How am I or other players expected to complete a daily quest unless we play Tales of Tribute EXCLUSIVELY!
Even playing it ALL DAY LONG
I do not pay a monthly subscription for an online game where I am given a daily QUEST that I should be able to complete ,but I can't even win enough hands to get one player to finish the daily for it!
Seriously!

To be fair, there were 11 other players that won their match and completed the daily.....

lol
To be fair?
19 games
Not using the same patron.
Not using the same toon
Out of 5 characters
If I stuck with just one of them
Literally only ONE of my 5 characters can complete this daily quest.
IT DEFEATS the point of DAILY QUEST!
It is not even remotely fair that the system drops the cards to certain players constantly!
Especially when I can login to my wifes account and play that exact same player and watch that so called player make the dumbest moves that even the EXPERT NPC player wouldn't make and win right after losing to them on my account.
Her account has exactly 4 patrons and is at the beginner level.
I also can use Tmobile or Starlink while using either account.
Also a fun fact.
When my monthly ESO subscription was paid.
I had a single day where I won every single hand I played no matter who it was.
So I would love to see a spreadsheet of the players who get there GOD DECK handed to them!
However keep telling me how that is FAIR
lol

I suggest you try ranked mode if you were not already.

Ive been doing nothing but ranked mode since I started playing the game.

Im sorry for your experience. You may want to consider using patrons such as Pelin and Crow. I believe that with those patrons you sould be able to increase your win rate.

It has nothing to do with that.
It is the way the Developers have the algorithms configured.
I do appreciate the considerate words.
I am 20+ year IT vet!
My job has been to document and solve problems.
When I began playing this it was entertaining.
However in the starting quest it clearly stated "just one more game."
This is designed and intended to be incredibly addictive.
Ive tested more than once.
I can use my account and lose 20+ times.
I can login to my wifes account and will win and get a God hand because her player is just starting and has four Patrons.
This happens consistently.
Another interesting fact I find highly entertaining.
If I get in zone chat and complain it is amazing how I in the very next game have an immediate win.
I do not allow it to control me or dominate my day.
I intentionally do the daily crafting writs while waiting for Q.
I will log out even if it says a game is ready to my next toon for there crafting writs.
Frankly it gets very annoying and is a huge turn off to watch the system consistently give a GOD deck to the same players and Ill say it again ID love to see a spreadsheet of what those players put into ESO!

played a hand with the Sorcerer, Druid, Power,
I had several of the Sorcerer Cards
Yet the system drops this player "call on one additional patron nonstop."
When I get a hand that I have Prescience 1 and Prophesy X2 and one Barterer and I am not able to get a single card of call on one extra patron that is crap!
That is an algorithm deciding giving the hand to the other player unfairly!

I also firmly believe there are players using ScriptsOfTribute the AI software or something along those lines is being used by other players. I sit and play this enough that it is very easy to spot when cards start flying across the screen faster than you can see what was taken or played.

Perfect example of a GOD DECK
Patrons selected
Duke Of Crows
Grandmaster Delmene Hlaalu
Red Eagle, King of the Reach
Druid King Kasorayn

My opponent at the end had 5 Firesong Haruspex and The Chimera
At each hand the player was able to obtain power.
At each hand the system would provide him Firesong Haruspex
I was not able to get power at all
I was only able to keep him going by doing a Duke of Crows Patron to get enough power to remove his cards.
The cards dealt to this player were the same cards dealt to me in my first hand this morning.
In his draw pile were 3 Blue Birds and 1 more firesong and another Chimera.

It is incredibly rigged!

My first hand / first game was a God Deck
The other player was incredibly experienced and very good but the system did not deal them cards that they could win.
It is unbalanced and highly unfair to either player.

Whenever I see people complaining about problems with the RNG in Tales of Tribute and claiming that the game is feeding all of the best cards to their opponents and feeding all of the worst cards to them, it makes me wonder how people envision that even being possible.

The way I envision the RNG working is that the deck is shuffled and the order of the cards is determined at that time, in which case there's no way the game can be deliberately feeding the best cards to one player and the worst cards to the other player, and either player can affect the "rhythm" of the Tavern draws by choosing how many cards to buy from the Tavern during their turn-- including buying no cards at all-- or by how many cards they remove from the Tavern by other means.

The only way I can envision the RNG working the way some players apparently think it works is that the draw piles (for each of the players and for the Tavern) aren't actually determined "up front" by shuffling-- that all of the cards in each of the draw piles just in an unordered "pool" and each card drawn is determined through RNG at the time it is drawn. Otherwise, I don't see how the game could be feeding one player with good cards and feeding the other player with bad cards. And if that is indeed how some people think it works, it doesn't make any sense to me why the devs would program it that way.

So can someone explain how they think it works? I'm genuinely curious.

Ok so explain this
I had 17 loses
I have my account and my wifes account.
I can log off of my account and get onto her account or have them both up.
I can play the same player X2 with both accounts.
The player who beats me on my account
When I play that exact same player on her account they suddenly either became extremely stupid or it is AI.
Because I have done this multiple times.
If said player does not become stupid then the cards they are dealt / available are terrible.
As stated my first hand was a God Deck.
The next player I played got dealt the precise same deck of cards I had when I won my first hand.
Ive only beaten that player one time.
Ive played them multiple times and I have attempted to use and get the cards they get.
I have recordings of the matches with certain players.

I have a remote job.
I can sit here and play this deck of cards on a slow day for 14 straight hours if I so choose.
I am not being rude but I do not care how you envision it.
I am stating facts and facts do not care about how you envision it!
What I am documenting is barely scratching the surface.
I can go way deeper.
I have zero doubt there are many others who are not commenting but they see it and understand it.
I am currently Ranked at 527.
Ive been ranked down to 300 give or take.
So this is not a scenario of I just do not understand.

Or better yet explain how when my account renewed.
I had exactly one day where I was able to beat EVERY SINGLE PERSON I played against.
The following day I had 100% loss and could not win a single hand.
These are facts not envisioning or wishful thinking.

Adding into this.
Yesterday I was able to complete 4 out of 5 toons daily quest for tales of tribute.
When I went and signed off I was ranked 270.
Today Im having ZERO wins.
This system is so pathetically unbalanced.
correction I won a hand because the other player lost connection.
The very next hand the system again deals cards to ensure the other player wins.
Yesterday I was dealt a God deck for every single hand I played.
This needs to be revamped!

skill issue, every season I try I get into rubedite and can score multiple wins a day. you're not planning ahead enough.

So fun fact when I search
Tales of Tribute Ranked @Kappachi
I do not see that name listed.

I call BS!
Explain
1. Yesterday I won every hand and ending rank 270
2. Today Ive been awake since 7 a.m. central.
3. I have not won a single round on my account aside from a player losing connection!
4. I am as of now ranked at 572!
5. In almost every single round I have played I can barely get a score over 10 points MAX!
6. The other player is scoring 40!
7. I've varied the patrons in every conceivable way.
8. Explain how when my ESO subscription renewed I also had a solid day of 100% wins and the very next day I had 100% loss!

Again I can login to my wife's account and start playing with her newbie character with 4 patrons and win or at least score over 10 points!
The logic fits
I have an entire day I win
I have an entire day I flat lose

People prefer to believe a lie than the truth!

Ive said this two times minimum.
I would love to see a spreadsheet of the people I play against who consistently get the GOD decks in terms of what they pay / spend!
What is also interesting and a fact!
I am playing RANKED!
All day yesterday I did not see a single player that beats me they were names ive NEVER seen and have again not seen today!

Bottom line this card game is STACKED or EXTREMELY unbalanced!

Ill gladly wait for a LOGICAL explanation as to why
I have a day I get the GOD DECKS handed to me 100% guaranteed win and no effort!
Then the next day I am watching the so called real life players get the GOD DECKS!
It literally makes the game 100% unpleasant and defeats the point of DAILY quest!
I have 5 toons
Yesterday I was able to complete the daily for 4 out of 5 of the toons!
Today I can not even complete the daily for even one of those 5!

However you keep ignoring facts!

cagle0614 · 9:22PM

Tell me how the game is BALANCED when I just played a hand that the system handed the other player
Mournhold Clergy X2
Hand of Almalexia X1
And Stubborn Shadow!
Tell me how you are going to win that hand?
If you are going to win that hand you are cheating!
Once more a pointless game because I can not get a single set of cards that allows me to get any traction again because the previous day it gave me straight GOD DECKS and so today I get to lose ALL DAY LONG!
Ive had 1 actual win and the second win was a player lost connection.
Just trying to complete the daily quest for defeat another player!
