has anyone else noticed that since the event started it's nearly impossible to buy 2 or 3 star luck? I swear that in the last 3 weeks i've only gotten mini or mid holy on any of my characters when buying luck. I may have gotten Super holy once or twice.

Before the even started i could buy Super holy pretty often and even the occassional Mega holy. But anymore i'm lucky to get mid.... just wondering if it's just me or is anyone else noticing this? :-?

its called "luck" for a reason

You can't always win in a lottery.

lol....and to original poster, other than today, and a few days at the beginning of the event, I was able to buy 2 or 3 star....Come to think about it, I'm not sure i ever bought 0-1 luck....other than me having 3 and buying it to see what happened (when it first came out)

Luck is luck. Some days you got alot of it and some days you got none. Thats just how it is.

As the others said above it is luck. I bought 3 star yesterday from 1 star. But normally I will get 1 star or even nothing.

as a computer programmer myself, i realize it's supposed to be random,.. but when you go for months with getting a wide range of luck when you buy it (0-3),.. to going several weeks with only getting 0 or 1, it just seems kinda weird. Other people i've talked to while playing recently have mentioned the same thing to me, that they have noticed the luck that they have bought seems to be lower in recent weeks..... just odd to me, that's all

Random is kind of like % on synths
for example, I put 10 serafi-senba in the PM, made them at the same time, 5 failed. (at 76% to make (if i remember the % correctly))

5/10 is 50% of the ones I made. It should have been 7.6 of them worked (rounded up or down to 7 or 8)

So you may have a idk uh 80 % chance to get 1 luck, 60% for 2 luck, and 35% chance to get 3 luck, but each time you buy the luck, the % is still the above. Say you buy luck and you get the 35% the next time you buy its still 35% you don't count that towards the chance you took the day before. (those %'s are just a random number i picked)

(i may have been rambling or confusing, sorry to that, I been up for about 30 hours...) I hope you get what I'm trying to say.

I've seen the light on the casino wheel land on all three spaces in a few minutes more than I've seen the woman give 2* or 3* in a week which is rare. It's bad programming.




I did not think this post through...
