  • Astrals and probability



    Seriously.

    I sort of suspect that if you get a few misfortunes in a row, you will keep getting it. Happened to me too.

    So what I would do is to stop trying astrals for a few minutes, and try it again later. Superstition I know, but somehow it makes me feel better.

      I know, it's all about the right time. I've noticed that when unlocking next that it must be looking for a similar range from the RNG for each step. With that said, you can be quick enough and ride that for a bit. Too bad it'll be some time before we see true random number generation rather than this pseudorandom garbage derived from the current time.

          You and I know that there's no such thing as true RNG from computer, but it is as good as it gets.

            The worst run of luck I have actually noticed is 4 misfortunes in a row.

            Are you sure you're being on the level here? :P

              Generating a non-static size multidimensional array, populating with pseudorandom numbers, and then using a couple more pseudorandom numbers to locate coordinates seems like a decent way to at least pick a somewhat more random value. Only issue is time consumption with Thread.Sleep in the loops to help ensure randomness.

              This was on an unlucky night where I kept getting loads of them.
