I think I would need to see a video to believe such a story. A video that shows much more than just one spawn of the sphere.
This does not make any sense in any context. I can see the moon myself most nights.
Moral of the story is that he kept proc'ing his EG only giving him magicka…? I guess it was just coincidence/luck
I told you what happened, and I want to know if there IS a way to spawn only a magicka squirter, not really anything else. A short "Yes, there is" is well enough if anyone knows. I don't need a discussion as to whether or not this happened. ;-)

The answer is quite simply NO though - even if you imply that´s not what you want to hear. It´s simply rgn.
You got unlucky and this gets reinforced by your brain only picking up information that support preformed viewpoints.
I´ve been accused of the same thing you´re describing myself - and it´s simply just rgn and people seeing what they want to see while not understanding the game enough (i base this on the description of the sorc gameplay on the original post).

I'm quite a rational person. I don't "see what I expect to see", or however you want to put it. Let go for the first 3-4 spawns, I didn't keep check on what the color of the beam was. But then I was like "Hey, he has all magicka, nothing else?" - because he was almost demonstratively streaking around. So I kept a close look at the color. And yes, blue, blue, blue and blue again. Nothing else. He was showing off, specifically that he had eternal magicka. Not a chance this was "rng". No way.
Again: I'm bringing this up because of this very fact, not that the dwemer itself was up all the time. I've seen that a lot.

And this goes to showcase that you haven´t understood what rgn actually means.
If it doesn´t happen every time with that particular player (in which case i´d highly recommend you making a vid of that) you´re suffering of confirmation bias.
You want to see sth fishy - so all you see is fish.

You have a very demeaning attitude, which is not constructive; and it's like you try to exercise some sort of low grade master suppression technique - which only makes you look like an ***hole. Good day sir, or miss - or whatever tf you might be.

There's no need to get insulting, he's trying to help.
Odds are its coincidence, as a bug or exploit many would use. But heck, report them if its suspect hell get a ban.
RNG (if coded right)means Magika has a 33% chance to pop each and every time. It could pop 10 times straight and the 11th, it has the same chance. Not being condescending just backing up what's others have said,
It COULD be fishy tho so video, report, send to mods / devs.
But often on this forum stuff looks fishy and folks just haven't got all the info etc

Yeah?
But how do you explain that some people get a mount in 7 or 8 out of 10 cases when we get free crates?
Given their drop rate it should be damn close to impossible. But maybe that person just got very lucky. Still at an average of 4 crates per giveaway and a total of 7 mounts that is a 17.5% mount drop rate. I am pretty sure that's not even close to the real drop rate which
But if that person also has a lot of loot luck (which the person I am talking about does - we played together on a daily basis for the last 2 years), then it starts to smell pretty fishy pretty fast.
My guess, the RNG is flawed. I have absolutely no idea which factors are considered in that algorithm and how they are weighted, but there seems to be an account specific component. And if that same algorithm is used to determine which kind of resource you get from the Engine Guardian set, then it might very well be possible that, for this account/character, the one of the 3 resources is very dominant.

the problem is that to humans, truly random does not feel random
Some angry users even proposed conspiracy theories
I see some of these sorcs around in Cyrodiil. Using Engine Guardian. High uptime, yes - we've heard that before. But I chased one around today, a typical show-off bunny hopping brat who didn't do much else but streak and bunny hop to show how good he was; but this guy had only magicka from that dwemer, nothing else. And it was up aaaall the time. We speak like 98% of the time, or how to put it. As soon as it went away, it spawned anew, and only gave him magicka. Frankly 100% if you include the parts where it construct/deconstruct itself.
When I started bashing the poor robot because I grew tired, he seemed to panic and actually started attacking me. I kept doing it for a lil' while and wore him by down by CC and finally killed him. But it feels fishy. How do you do that? Sure there might be some specific skill that procs it a lot - I can buy that - but only magicka? I mean 100%, not a single time was the ray green or red. Only blue. I don't think this is the first time I've seen it either. Same streaking kind of sorcerer, but another player.

Yes but what you see with your eyes isn't a video, therefore you don't need a video to believe it's real!!! Checkmate atheist.
@Lightspeedflashb14_ESO
The chance of getting a mount from any random crown crate is what, 2% maybe? And the outcome / result of each draw / crate opening is independent of the other draws / crate openings.
She got a total of 40 crates (estimated, as I dont want to got back and count them all, but we usually received between 3 and 5 crates for free).
She got a mount in at least 70% of the giveaways of 4 crates each.
So that makes:
7 crates with mounts
33 crates without mounts
Assuming a 2% drop chance for a mount (total drop chance for all mounts together!), that means there is a 98% chance to not get a mount. So the chance of getting 7 mounts out of these 40 crates is:
(0.02)^7 * (0.98)^33 = 6.57*10(-13) = 0.000000000000657
Seems pretty unlikely to me tbh.
Feel free to correct me if my math is wrong, it has been a while, and I am too busy at the moment to read up on probability statistics again.
So we are continuing to whine about sorcs? Realy? Obv a L2P issue....

If you were paying that much attention to his dwemer, it's no wonder why you got whomped.
