Sorry if asked elsewhere but i'm being lazy and in a rush. I see from the mighty @BenevolentBowd updates that PC and Console Golden sales are different the last two weeks - due to the Patch landing on PC I guess I want to know

1. why that is if no new DLC stuff is for sale why not keep em the same @ZOS_GinaBruno
2. When / how consoles will get the gear PC has been offered - majority of my Xbox Guild has been after items PC has had last two weeks...... will we need to wait a full cycle to get these again?

I've hoarded AP for Spinners for sometime and feel cheated!

Cheers

    Heh, mighty @BenevolentBowd ... aka BBD (no, not what the google searches suggest, just an acronym of my character name), grumpy monk, pvp scrub, first of his name.

    Random Number Generation in computers are not truly random. If the RNG code "seeded" the same way, the results are the same. So the number sequences could be identical. However, when the number ranges change (eg. items added or removed from the loot table), then the results will differ, even if the code generated the same value.

    ZOS has told us that the luxury vendor will be offering the same items again but with 1 new item. This has been the case for the past three weeks. With regards to the missing tent, it appears to be a bug and @ZOS_JessicaFolsom is investigating.

    Since the golden is random. Depends how RNG is. Unless by cycles you mean the furniture vendor missing the tent, then knowing ZOS they won't give it until next cycle. We all remember the mystery boxes.

    I'm unsure it is random. We have never had back to back items which there would be a chance of. I'm pretty sure there must be a schedule. In particular the way a helm comes then a month or so the shoulder etc.

    Either way I think if consoles just drop back in to the cycle with PC this week on launch its unlikely we will see the ones we missed for a while

    Epic thanks BBD, let's hope they do the same with the 'missed' jewelry

    BTW cheers for your efforts keeping us updated each weekend, it's great help

    On the plus side, at least we haven't had to contend with the beta issues from the update, that the PC users have had to endure over the last 2 weeks. I'll take missing items in vendors any day of the week over multiple server issues and game play issues.

    I always expect the worst and anything over and above that is always a bonus. I reckon at least one of the servers will be offline today. It's between Xbox EU/NA/PS4 EU and NA. My money is on Xbox NA and PS4 EU
