Pink drops are random

**Phoenixking** · 10-08-2011, 04:38 AM

Some poeple have said pink drops are NOT random but of me being observent i have noticed it is STILL random
The reason i found this out was because the names for example where in this order
Example
Player1
Player2
Player3
Player4
Player5
In one run no one died and this is there drops
Example
Player1 grey
Player3 white
Player5green
Player2green
Player4purple
---------------
Player3orange
Player1green
Player2green
P3green
P4green
(as you may have seen when drops are same rarity the order goes by who entered)
----------
BOSS
P2green
P3green
P5green
P4purple
P1pink

Now by these examples i hope that you have seen what i mean the reason its always last poeple getting pink is because they put you in order of the items rarity when you get a drop but being last or killing yourself before boss wont change anything

I have gained permission from this group as you can see from the chat box ingame

In the drops that have occured why didnt green go before orange letter drops? Why did it become last
Because the drops go in order of rarity if you still dont believe me ill take more screenshots.

There will be poeple who may not believe in what i say so i would like to make a tewm to play the map amd on drops ill take screenies to show them i speak the truth (i need poeple who dont care if there name is seen and wont die) i know i may be asking for much but to show that drops are random and gain evidence.

I thought it was relatively common knowledge that pinks are entirely random and independent, meaning in know way whatsoever can you alter that %chance of getting a pink drop. However factors such as Big Luck and Luck elixirs allow you to have a second chance at getting a better drop, ie. Re-roll.

Yes trolle but im proving to poeple who think otherwise :P

Okay... well I don't believe there is any feasible method of proving that something is random. I mean, the only way to do so is to disprove any suggestions that drops are based on patterns/deaths/entering late to dungeons and any other crazy rumours that I have heard in game. And given that pink drops are uber rare, disproving all these rumours would be quite the task. But good luck nonetheless

I haven't played in a while, but when I used to play drop randomness was never questioned. I think Phys made a slightly more detailed post like this. Must be a new gen of players coming through

I think the proof is in the fact the devs have previously stated that each player gets an independent roll when it comes to drops (am I wrong on this?), making it completely random. I'm not sure what else there is to know.

Exactly. No offence intended Phoenix, but this thread is probably unnecessary and all your hard work in taking screenshots to "prove" that they are random is unneeded IMO.
