Cantina energy is extremely valuable in this game. Ive been getting 1 shard per 11 pulls of ig90. If this is the standard then its really not worth the effort. Cantina farms are usually a pain but relatively fast. This is painful
I’m having the same crappy drop rates, since he was released to the node. Per refresh the drop rate has consistently been 0-1. The random die generator is working correctly. Each roll is a 1 in 33% chance to get shards. Just getting crappy payout rolls is all.
I’ve been tracking my IG-90 farm and am bang on the standard 33% drop rate.
STL on the other hand, I’m still above 41% for his shards. I’ve only had one day with <5 out of 15 attempts since he became farmable.
Seriously the drop rates for any energy expenditure is absolutely atrocious at times. I could easily see how people just give up on this game because its perceived to be stacked against the player. How many times does this game appear to hold back at 64/65 or 99/100 for shards or that last piece of material to progress a vital piece of gear.
Seriously, I do wonder how it can be healthy to the game if the "random" mechanics makes player cry out curses in frustration.
How many times does the game actually hold back at those points, though? None.
But you can’t deny that fate really likes screwing people over when they’re a few shards away. It’s like an unwritten rule of the universe.
I can deny it because I deal in facts backed up by evidence, not confirmation bias backed up by feels.
Wow, you missed the joke so much. I didn’t say the drop rates are deliberately lowered towards the end, I joked that fate does that…
You forgot to apply the comedy zeta
Should’ve modded for another Sarcasm set as well
tinfoil hat on
An overall 33% drop rate and variable drop rate throttling at several specific tresholds that don't statistically affect the overall drop rate aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. I track my farms too and they've always been in the expected average ~33% drop rate, and I have definitely had stretches of what I intellectually dismiss as bad RNG when a toon was at 9X/100, but what definitely seems at first glance like the game deliberately throttling the drop rate for a couple of days at the tail end of a farm to incentivize me to spend crystals on shards.
tinfoil hat off
There is no evidence for this, but to my knowledge there is no concrete evidence that would outright disprove it, either.
