What is up with the RNG??

Another 120 and nada. Yay! Koolaid!!

This has been happening to me for months. The RNG is not true RNG. Have you ever noticed when you need one more shard or one more salvage piece the "RNG" suddenly gets super stingy? Every time? How is that RNG? But if you spend more crystals, the "RNG" gives you what you need right away. Coooollll story.

I dunno....I'm spending crystals, but it's still not giving it up.

I'd just be preaching to the choir if I ranted about it. I can go through 180 energy or more and get 0 of something I need 50 of... Happens a lot.

Also, I'm not sure how often you guys raid but the raid gear I receive as a reward is constantly the same. My guild mates have been dealing w/ the same issue. I had over 200 furnace salvage pieces at one point but zero stun cuffs and zero droid callers. It's garbage. I also noticed what I don't get as a raid reward ends up in my store for 1400 crystals or more. What a coincidence!

People running up and down screaming "it's RNG, it's RNG" & "confirmation bias" in 3, 2, 1...

I don't know but I went from 0 to 48 mk6 hyposyringes Tuesday. 20 of that was from challanges but still, I was happy with it.

I spent 240 from refreshes and some bonus energy as well.

Confirmation bias

In all seriousness, if you aren't feeling it, don't farm it. Sometimes you make your own luck.

I had a feeling I should drop a refresh on farming 5dot health mods and got two 5dot speed primaries and and gold mod with a speed secondary.

It was the same thing with the hyposyringes. I was "feeling it" and rolled the dice.

Think it's preposterous? Well I think your tin foil hat is preposterous.

I spent 500 energy today farming stun guns.

I did both hard nodes for 3 sims each. Got 0.

I spent the rest on DS 7E simming 10 at a time. I ended up getting 12.

5 then 3 then 3 then 1.

I also bumped my RG up to gear 10. Booya!

@khufutaron
That is only true for GW battles.

If you retreat and go in again with the same characters and the same attack order it will be the same every time.

That is NOT true of arena, LS/DS battles, raids, or anything else.

Even in GW, if you change the characters for the battle it will give you a new seed of RNG.

You are partially right. That is maybe NOT true of arena, LS/DS battles. We cannot know, because we cannot retreat the same way as in GW, since the conditions will change (you'll have less energy).
Anyway, khufutaron point is true even if only applies to GW. Despite the outcome of the fight is calculated at the beginning of a fight (possibly) randombly, repetitions should also recalculate it, instead of repeating the same patter if no changes are present.
Other point: The long streaks of luck (either good or bad) are suspicious. Those streaks should have really low probability. A possible explanation is that the probability of a drop varies, increasing or decreasing within a time frame, but in the long run, the integration of the probability averages what is expected (1/3 for shards...). Just a thought.
