    Default Just a theory


    Well actually it's more of a hunch (don't have enough proof to call it a theory) but is there a point where locks stop dropping because you've already gotten a bunch? I would hunt locks a lot more often if it weren't for them suddenly not dropping at all after awhile. Same goes with eggs and elite golden pirate chests so each day I have to decide what I want to use my literal luck on because if I get too lucky all I get is white and green re-rolls... I still re-roll just don't get anything of value
    (This is an old picture btw)

    I've wondered myself if there is a finite amount of any given item in the drop tables at any given time or if it's totally random.

    That part you just mentioned about back to back drops to 15mins and Nada is EXACTLY what I mean! I wish there were a way to determine when and why these drops are at one point removed from the drop table. What determines your luck?

    Well... in breckingridge or whatever, jarl probably has a decent chance at dropping a common or rare which if u get a reroll will reroll up a rarity which rare goes to epic and common goes to rare which doesnt mean locked. Jarl has a smaller chance at dropping an epic probably which then if u get that 15-25-40% reroll then the epic item goes up into a locked. Number random generators will determine whether you get the
    locked but you have to get jarl to drop an epic before you reroll a locked

    But I have the same luck with farming other drops as well. If it gets to that point to jarl will start to drop little to no more locks after awhile would I still need to get that epic drop to ensure better drops when elite farming as well? If I farm elite FIRST I have slightly better luck but less if I were to farm locks first.

    If I were a programmer, even thinking about making a timer formula about drops is pretty ridiculous. It's superstition and random numbers since not everyone in the pt of 4 will reroll into locked and legendaries at the same time. Does everyone in breckenridge get locked in the same run, no, sometimes one will reroll into locked, sometimes two, or three. If it was a timer, everyone in the same map, your friends, everyone in AL, would reroll locks and legendaries at the same time ^_^. That doesnt happen enough to make the timer case be true. If it was individual based, why would sts program each new account have a set timer locked and legendary drops. It would fill up pointless space and code. Same thing for locked crates. I dont think sts would program you to loot mythic or arcane at one point everyday because then people would open locked that time everyday or every interval and people would get rich. No it's random

    I don't really mean timer base but to the point where the game just says "He's had enough" I can't think of any other way to describe that without making it sound like a superstitious idiotic observation lol
