Yet another Legendary QQ thread...

[Doffen]

Another one huh.

Think about this: Millions play this game. Some are very lucky, some are not.

If that was what it was, nobody would bitch about it. Problem is, if you get a legendary, you have an increased chance to get more. There are more people who have multiple legendaries, rather than 1. That's the issue, and it's still in effect. Further a problem in that, as stated before in the thread, some classes don't function properly without their BiS legendary. Some twat who got lucky with a legend is automatically better than another who doesn't have it, unless the difference in ilvl is ridiculously steep, is just salt in an open wound at this point...which is also a thing.

So today i log on and got on my guilds teamspeak & to my suprise my guildie had told me he had gotten two legendarys. Normally i would brush this off and congratulate him considering it helps our raid tremendously, but this toon was just his alt. For the life of me i can't understand how a character with less then 24 hours played can get two legendarys within a span of 45 minutes of each other.

So i thought blizzard fixed getting your first legendary increasing your chance at a second?

I understand most gamers are quite stupid and can't understand RNG.

But is it seriously that hard to grasp than even if rolling two times 1000 on a /rand 1000 is neary impossible to do. It will still happen to some people.

And that doesn't mean that /rand 1000 is broken.

So you are contradicting yourself...

The odds of rolling 1:1000 twice in a row
1/1000 * 1/1000 = 1/1,000,000
Metric can change varying on loot chances..
The likely hood of getting two within a 45 minute span is as you said nearly impossible.
So the odds of it happening to two people would be even greater. I know of two people this happened to. You understand how low the chances are right?

Sephuz works whenever you TRY to cc something, not only if it succeeds. It should proc on boss mobs when you try to disable them and fail.

No it doesn't. People keep saying this and it doesn't. It doesn't proc on Immune mobs.

you do realize it is still possible for it to occur regardless of what the insanely low chances are haha, srsly stop trying to understand something that is random and just accept it.

[Belloc]

Just do what im doing, play the remaining days you have on your sub, quit, only return when they fix the leg drop rate

What you're actually doing is being willfully ignorant of how RNG functions, and that's not something that anyone else should aspire to.

It's also "possible" for me to win the lottery.
It's also possible for me to win the lottery twice.

That doesn't mean its a probable occurrence. Most of the population don't even have on yet. You mean to tell me multiple people can get more then 1 in a day? You understand how unlikely that should be right?

[Marrilaife]

Not having a legendary should not hinder your ability to play the game.

Take for example unholy dk, either you have the BIS bracers, or you suck monkey balls on raids. Like seriously, as if the class was balanced around it and you miss about 20% of your dps by not having it. Very fun to sit on the bottom of the meters and be benched due to low dps you can't really remedy?

[Soisoisoi]

What is so many to you? The few people that post some screenshots of others here on mmochampion? People in your Guild? There's a lot of people that play WoW, so when you say "so many", I'm curious what you're basing this on.

Considering the few I've seen from here alone, being a tiny percentage of the playerbase visiting, I'd say that alone is alarming. I've seen it happen in game to people in my guild, other people on my realm, in other guilds too. Like I said on one of my other posts, there's a website that is tracking it (or at least, for one guild, I can't remember), I'd love to see it again.

If your entire purpose and reason to unsub in this game is to receive an RNG item, maybe you should just stay unsubbed.

OP- RNG is RNG is RNG is RNG.

Lol. Comparing winning the lottery twice which is in the 1 in billions of chances, vs someone getting lucky with some legendary drops a month and a half into an Expansion is downright stupid.

I find it funny how people are crying about Legendaries like the players used to when Diablo 3 first came out. Not having a legendary should not hinder your ability to play the game.

Well.. it doesn't. Blizzard said many times content is tuned around at MOST 1-2 legendaries in a full raid.

[Deleted]

Why not
I have one lucky paladin alt who i do not dare to level up (that toon just was so lucky that get full BIS geared with like 90% WF gear in 2-3 weeks every raid)

[Gadzooks]

I think you are failing to understand my point. The odds of this happening for one legendary is extremely low none the less happening twice in a 45 minute span. The odds are so slim of this happening it would be like winning the lottery twice.

And nobody said winning twice was impossible.

God forbid you be happy for your guildie. Players like you make me love my guild that much more.

[IIamaKing]

Its become a common theme around the Water Cooler, peoples Alts getting Legendaries before their mains and people who only main 1 thing getting nothing.

This is why I stopped playing my alt for now. Not going to be like my buddy, got a great leg on an alt he hates.

It's fixed, people are just being dumb.

Total Bs anyone with a legendary would get picked for a pug group or guild run no matter how good you're without one.

[Blaiz]

The problem was they reduced the chance of a legendary with a hotfix some weeks ago, however when doing they've since admitted that they accidentely increased the chance of another if you already had one. The result is someone who got a legendary before it was hotfixed benefitted from a chance of another (and another), whilst those who didn't have one had even less chance of one than before the hotfix. This was backed up by confirmed reports of some players getting two or three legendaries is as many days, some even got more than one in the same day.

This was Blizzards original response to their error, since this they've been completely silent on the issue and that's one of the reasons so many people are angry. Everyone can understand RNG but when evidence proves that its flawed then people are right to question it, the longer Blizzard remain silent the more it'll fester between the haves and the have nots.

edit:
Everyone complaining is fully aware that the vast majority of players are those without a legendary, but continually throwing the "It's RNG, are you stupid?" line at them is ignorance on your part. The bad protection that they tell us was coded into Legion was found to be flawed within weeks of it's release, there's still nothing to suggest it has been fixed. Right now I'm neutral on legendaries as I'm beyond the point of caring anymore, although I do question why they're continuing to push their bad luck protection system that clearly doesn't work.

I'm sure everyone would be happier if they just said there's a 1/100 chance of one dropping from a WQ chest or mythic boss no matter how many you already have. All they've told us so far is that they reduced the chance of one, so it may well have been 1/100 on release and now be 1/1000 for all we know. I know it's just throwing numbers in the air but it would explain their reason for not given us actually numbers instead of an algorithm I'm not convinced even exists.

[Kuja]

I also don't have my first one yet, not on any of my characters. Seems like we'll get same ilvl drops from raids soon, so getting a leggy only then would seem such a let down despite the useful proc thingy. Unless their ilvl scales up with patches so they stay legendary. Or perhaps the same way as previously, by looting things that boost their ilvl.
