I there eny different??

I there eny different, how fast I loot item. I am wondering, if I need faster then, anothers in my raid group, then have I more chance to won it????

[Deleted]

No, this makes no difference.

[zyx]

If your logic worked, then the chance of getting a 6 when rolling a dice is higher if you roll first. Which it of course isn't.

[Nekrosislol]

It does not matter

[Xarganthos]

no. doesnt matter how fast you click the need button.

[Weerra]

Goddamn, that's outright raping the language ...

No, there is not. It is random.

Random is random.

Well actually it isn't since a computer decides the number, but still... you have no influence over the number at all. zero.

Eh, it isn't any less random than anything else happening, like physical dice throws.

Well, actually it kinda is, in theory. A computer can never generate a true random, but a well-generated computer random is impossible to predict as a human being.

If you make a poorly generated random in a program, you can find a pattern if you generate it enough. But that's easily avoided, for example in C++ there's a thing you can do where the computer uses the current time as a sort of "seed" for the random number generated.

IF you know how random number generation seeds work you would know that it's actually not random.
If you make a new RNG with a seed of 1 it will give these numbers:
2, 4, 2, 1, 9, 7, 3
If you then make a new RNG with the same seed of 1, it will give these numbers:
2, 4, 2, 1, 9, 7, 3

To add to this statement, please read the following when you have some spare time: http://www.random.org/history/
It seems like a wall of text, but it's a good read

Also, this page links to something even more hilarious: http://www.rotten.com/library/conspi...ess-your-luck/ (Don't worry. Safe link)
Which is what happens when you don't have true random numbers

Do you really expect a guy who spelled any with an e to understand how a seed works?

And a dice throw isn't any quantum random either.
It moves by physics when you shake it, it moves by physics when it rolls around.
The roll is fully dependent on the speed and direction of the dice and it's surroundings. It is determined from the moment you let it go.
Random generator seeded from time stamp and some arbitrary outside condition is just as random as this.

[Deleted]

Just for the record. It doesn't matter, unless if you re so slow to loot that you forget there is an item there for you

[shoebox]

Actually i wouldnt say it is, You cannot replicate a dice throw as easily as a seed is replicated (when using the time or another number).

There actually is a difference between a RNG generator and rolling dice. It is true that the rolling of the dice is determined by physics, but its of a chaotic nature.
This means that even the slightest alteration of any variable which has an effect of the outcome can drastically change the outcome. This makes it unpredictable.
A RNG generator is predictable, up to a certain degree.

Read up on chaos theory
The outcome of an actual dice roll cannot be safely predicted because we cannot measure all factors precisely enough to calculate the result.

You can move back in time? Please tell

[Deleted]

No it does not matter. xD

I realized this myself which is why I didn't mention the example of a dice roll in my post. I was too lazy to come up with a good example of a true, real-life random as well.
