Bad RNG

You got lucky!
Perfect Roe hates me! :'(

Callous2208 · April 2016

Yep, rng friend. Had about the same luck as you last week. Guildie fished with me for about an hour or so. Her twenty fish netted two perfect roe. Rng is a cruel mistress.

Anyone who claims that perfect roe hasn't been nerfed with the thieves guild is clueless. Ever since its dropped on Xbox, roe that was 8-10k is now always 11-13k.

Potions have increased from 2700-3000 to 3300-3500

I have two master angler accounts. I have made and sold potions endlessly. I have bought roe endlessly. I'm talking 500-750 bought. I had an alt that went from 1-v16 who had an xp potion active every second of the way. I know what I'm talking about (Xbox at least)

I truly believe the nerf to roe was purposeful, and as a result everyone got the cake. That free xp for a week was great until you realize they're limiting the roe obtainable to drive more sales of the crown scrolls. It's only simple business logic, and it makes sense from a business stand point. As a consumer it's crap, but the nerf is obvious. If you can't see it you don't fish/buy roe/sell potions enough.

I'm sure many others have similar stories. Anyone agree?

Ps - I'm speaking of times WAY before wrothgar was glitched also, so I'm not referencing the time when roe was more abundant.

Or a more simpler explanations could be that there's:
1. Less people fishing
2. More demand for roe

RNG.

True RNG will cause a few very unfortunate individuals to have to fillet 1000+ fish just for one roe. It's the mathematical law of probability.

Tryxus · April 2016

So let me get this straight:

You got 1 Perfect Roe from 1 Stack of Fish, while I got none from 3 Stacks?

FelixTheCatt · April 2016

When I last played I was lucky to get 1\600 or more. Getting one for 200 is not bad in my book!

No, but it does sound like someone hasn't been saying the nightly prayers to RNGesus...

Prayer to RNGesus

Yea though I walk through the Valley of Shadowy loot,
I shall fear no Random Number Gens.
For Thou art with me.
Thou loadeth mine enemies with items to plunder,
And assureth me that mine damage procs a chance at gain.
When mine enemies falter and fall,
Thou assureth that there art items of wonder amongst the fodder.
Thou leadest me to calm thoughts of Motif Pages,
Thy bounty of Purple Items for deconstruction art plentiful.
Mine coffers runneth over.

Surely Gold and those damnable Monster Shoulders shall be mine.
And wealth and the jealousy of mine Group members shall follow me,
for all the days of my life.

Amen.

No, the guild stores make it obvious. The out put of roe has slowed tremendously.

Divinius · April 2016

I went zero out of ~450 one day last week when I finally decided to fillet all the fish I'd been collecting and ignoring.

Last night I filleted another 35 fish that I had just caught and got 2 roe.

It's the "R" in "RNG"...

That, or fresh fish have a better chance...

Haughnatron · April 2016

I got 3 perfect roe in a row out of about 60 fish a couple days ago

So 1 is still valid then?

mwo1480 · April 2016

KingYogi415 · April 2016

Standard.

Beardimus · April 2016

I'm with ya on the Nerf, seen Roe selling 15k plus recently, and way less for sale, it's definitely rarer or everyone is busy on new content to fish!

KrishakPanettier · April 2016

I haven't gotten a single perfect roe since Thieves Guild update, about 500 to 600 fillets. I was getting about one every 100 on average. I got three in a row once before update. I am still hoping I get perfect roe again soon.

Divinius · April 2016

The high roe prices likely have nothing to do with a smaller supply -- It's likely due to the higher demand.

Roe prices jumped significantly due to the anniversary event with the cake. Everyone was grinding xp like mad while the cake was active, and stacking that with ambrosia. Prices just haven't gone back down yet.

I've noticed no difference in my Perfect Roe rates. They are just as randomly all over the place as they were before.

Necrelios · April 2016

Just not a lucky day my friend. Call me superstitious, but If I don't get Perfect Roe in the first 100 fish I'll save the rest of my fish for another day and try again

.

Hazethemadman · April 2016

Was the drop rate for roe nerfed?
》No. You just have bad luck with the RNG.

The prices and supply show that less people are getting them though.
》Wrong. It shows that less people care to fish now that the double fish exploit is gone.

Either the double fish needs to be returned as a feature of the game, or the value of perfect roe needs to rise even higher. That much fishing just isn't worth most peoples time & the RNG on top of that just pours salt on an open wound.

Iyas · April 2016

Rng is zos approach of long term fun. A very bad one

Are you having fun? ...

IamNoobee · April 2016

679 fish filleted for 1 perfect roe

my .9% chance to get roe went down to .6%. rng sucks. screw praying to the rng god, cause i personally think praying to anything but would net better results.

Marktoneth3 · April 2016

Ah stupid RNG

Note that ZOS

notimetocare · April 2016

RNG will be RNG, I had a nice pull of 14 from 300 fish once. And even been as bad as 0 from 500
