I know, i made that screenshot and it's my inventory out there on picture. Since I'm not a member of Sigma Draconis and don't think i ever saw you in game, i have to ask you - how did you got that screenshot? I just want to understand how something that i posted in What's Up chat for internal use of my guildies, made his way up to official forum, and who is that person who made it happen.
Well... who did u share ur screenshot with on WA shared it with Sigma WA and you can fill the rest of gaps....DC- Holy DOPE, Altmer Nightblade

I do and plenty other ppl who don't want their private talks to become public. That screenshot is not harmful, but the fact that information from private chat made it's way up to official forum, is vary frightening, i hope you can understand such simple thing. Nothing criminal, but we'll find a way to deal wit that person.0 -

If a group geared like you said does what you said, then the fight will be over in 3 seconds. I don't think this will create any huge lag problems. Shorter fights = less strain on the server.1 -

✭ITT OP thinks his RNG luck is relevant to everyone and it's set in stone.
News flash OP, Sypher was doing a random video about sets while he was just showcasing the vendors in PvP vicious death jewellery was on sale ( purp ).
Your argument is really invalid because RNG!
You want proper stats let 10 people do this and get an average, one person is not good enough for stats.
1 person can do damage or healing stats, stuff like that but not drops come on!@Duiwel:Join ORDER OF SITHIS We're recruiting! PC EU"Dear Brother. I do not spread rumours. I create them..."2 -

10500 attempts is more relevant and less RNGish than few attempts from stream
you point is invalid
but yes more attempts - cleaner result
ive done with testings because i know the average chances now, it takes awhile to pickup so huge amount of mails even with the addon and two acocunts at the same time, as i did2 -
joshisanonymous✭✭✭✭Your tests aren't completely meaningless, but they definitely don't show the actual probability that an item will drop.
Basically, you calculated how often these items dropped for you in this one instance, but that's all you did. If an item dropped for you 3% of the time, it could still have a drop rate of 8% for example, if it's set up as a simple probabillity. Probabilities refer to how likely something will happen in every single instance. So, whenever you open a piece of mail, there's an 8% chance (in my hypothetical scenario) that what you're going for will drop, but that doesn't mean the next time you open a piece of mail you're any more likely to get the item. There's still an 8% chance every single time, meaning you could open 5,000 pieces of mail and not get what you want because you simply got unlikely every time. The likelihood that you will eventually get something does go up as you open more and more in a sense, but that's a different probability from the likelihood that something will drop in general, and if I remember correctly from statistics class, it's something that starts to factor in more so as the number of attempts approaches infinity, not 50, 100, or 1000.
All that is to say, the sitaution may be nowhere near as dire as you're suggesting. It's really hard to know.4 -
NerfPlease✭✭✭ok i get it, i think my mistak is in this
all sets has the same chances, but i calculated only one set
i think i need to sum all 6 % or purple rings and divide them to get average value

Maybe I should put it this way:
Imagine an 80 year old man has been playing the lottery every day since he was 20 and has never won. Does that mean that tomorrow he'll win the lottery? No, because the chance that he will win remains the same every single time. He'll probably convince himself that he's gonna win tomorrow, that's probably why he's been playing every day for 60 years, but he is no more likely to win than when he was 20.1 -

That analogy made me sad

if probability follows a bell distribution there will be outliers sure. but the more tests op does. even if he began as an outlier the more likely it is he will approach the actual drop chance.
As you say yourself every times he opens the chance is the same so whether he opens 700 mails or 7 people open 100 mails the accuracy of the results will be the same.
whether your 80 year old played the lottery everyday for 60 years or 60 twenty year olds played the lotto every day for one year. the odds of winning in that time would be the same. Though statistics would also claim he would be better buying 2 sets of numbers/tickets every other day for the same investment per annum.

Selling hope and dreams to the masses is and always has been a successful business concept
The English queen Elisabeth the first used it instead of impopular taxes to build her first big war fleet.
At the same time the Dutch VOC, the first limited liability company in the world, used it to raise funds for her merchant fleet
Karl Marx described religion as opium for the people
Politicians have a lot of staff doing the groundwork to sell the best dreams
and into todays secularised world the state controls it directly or through taxes

Yes, that's why I said it's not completely meaningless, but I believe it would take many many more trials than a few thousand to determine that. It's been a while since I've taken a statistics course, though, so I could be wrong.0 -
RatedChaotic✭✭✭✭One thing that really hate in this game is the campaign rewards. I pvped every day for hours a day just to look and see that people had millions of AP earned. Like I will ever get any of those rewards with pvp so laggy and peeps with their AP exploits.

Refuse2GrowUp✭✭✭✭✭The RNG in this game is beyond atrocious. While I agree that certain sets/jewelry shouldn't be too easy to obtain, helm drops rates and set drop rates are beyond abysmal. Let's hope that these are just PTS codes and they will increase the drop rates some for livePS4 NA Server

Daraugh✭✭✭✭✭I opened about 60 mails before getting bored of opening mails. All of the Vicious Death items that are in this screenshot came out of those ~60 rewards for the worthy. There were drops from all of the pvp sets of course, but I just focused on this one to see if the rng was really that abysmal.
May all beings have happiness

NerfPlease✭✭✭I don't really care all that much. If it drops, great, if it doesn't, i'll just keep using my old set. At least cyro won't be flooded with everyone using the new sets from day one.
this set - VD - easy obtainable in blue quality in day one from mails
just without jewerly
jewerly will be the pain, but you can gather full set as i told without em2 -
NerfPlease✭✭✭i reveal my method:
i used BETA version of JunkIt addon, with new feature to destroy any items you want, if you setup it right
so all items except jewerly will be autodestroyed on pickup
also i used PostMaster Altered to pick up all mails with one button
the mails arriver by 108 at once
and 511 in total for a hero from template on PTS
so i need change location 4 times and pickup all mails with addonEdited by NerfPlease on March 1, 2016 8:26PM3 -

4 purple Leki's rings was looted - its 0.037% chance
5 purple Fasalla's Guile rings was looted - its 0.046% chance
0 purple Transmutation rings was looted - its unknown chance
my speculation is - all sets has the same chances, lets calculate the average
19/6=3.16 purple rings of any set - its 0.029% chance
How do these rates have anything to do with upcoming changes to live server? Everything will be much, much more rare. They gave us these mails with 100% set item drops so we could test the gear. On live server you will probably be lucky if you get even one blue set item out of hundreds of rewards for the worthy, and it will likely be something useless like Marksman ice staff.
