Is luck Biased against some characters

[Vortex3113]

Ok, this has really been bugging me, I kinda stopped playing because of this too. It seems that no matter what luck I have, even when I had 3 stars, I have horrible luck, i've never found a good rare, a got rappies once in my entire game and it was just two of em. Never seen any other rare thing, and barely any kubara or Synthesize mats, mostly get stuck with moon atomizer X or Scape doll boards. But it just seems like the game is out to get me, nothing ever drops, and even in synthesizing, i had a 90% weapon creation, and it failed! Does anyone else have troubles like this or do i just have too many coincidences.

no, real world luck is just biased against you lol

THE JACKEL

Luck = Game Luck + Real Luck + Pie.

In short, you could have a 99.99999% chance to find a rare and generally speaking you may go through 100+ hours of not 1 rare. Probability is wierd like that. If you don't have 100% chance to get an item, you won't be able to get it every time!

I've been having some good luck lately. I've found seven pieces of kubara wood in the last three days, a copernia, and a Crea Saber board. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

All this with no character luck either.

Eliash, I think I can correct your statement...
luck=game luck + real life luck + common sense + probability x not you.

Actually if you take probability course in college you will find out that even with a 100% chance something can fail and something with a 0% chance can occur everything. And I do not mean close to 0 or 100 I mean actually 0% or 100%. Of course the game isn't programmed that way but whatever.

[Eliash]

Ok fine, even with 100% chance you can still not get something. I understand that. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

But the basic fact doesn't change, in-game luck doesn't gurentee you anything. That was the point I was trying to make! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I have great luck, as long as my in-game luck is below 2 stars.

I can always Grind up to level 4/5 no problems, I get decent rare drops & decent drops in general.

However, I've never seen a Rare enemy (except when the party leader booted us all as soon as we did that one time) & when I had 3 stars, I seemed to have horribly bad luck http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif It does make me a little miffed http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

It's only a better chance to find rares, not an absolute chance.

some people are saying the Programmers made luck so that way everyone would get a chance to be party leader 'cause a while ago if you were in a party it would always go to the highest luck... but like that happens any more the party leader acts like a dumb*** and everyone tells him to switch to the highest luck person and he gets paranoid about being booted because he acted like a dumb***

HAHAHAHHAH BURN!

[JAFO22000]

Yes, the game is "out to get you"...you should quit. Do it. Now.

[Golto]

Sega's random number generator hates you. Do you even play the high lvl s rank missions? Rare mats do drop like crazy on those. What rare setting do you play on? I would kick people who keep on picking up scape boards if it is set on order and at the beginning of the run I said don't pick up crap rares.

[omegapirate2k]

Hrm... Ive HEARD that they balance out the luck each year so that every race/sex combo has 3 star luck an equal amount of times in a year, although the selection process is still random.

I'd love to get in on some S-ranks as a few are now available to me, but all my friends are sub-40 & I can never find any open S-Rank missions...
