Is the Easter event proof that luck doesn’t work?

I have been farming for the chest with nearly maxed out luck gear and killed over 800 rabbits. Still no chest. Had people join with no trophies and 0 luck on their items and they get it within 45 minutes/under 100 kills.

I’ve seen so many people in this forum and in the ingame chat say that they got it easily with 0 luck and people with max luck are struggling, even after grinding for over 10 hours.

Does this just show that luck doesn’t actually do anything in this game?

Bingo ! :smirk:

The easter event is proof AGS doesn’t respect your time. Grinding for a reskin is the last thing I want to spend my time on.

Im not sure the drop is effected by luck, its pure random. Even if luck does play apart, lets say you have 50% luck bonus.

(using easy figures no idea of real ones)

if the box has a 0.5% chance of dropping, then with your 50% luck bonus, the drop rate will be boosted 0.75%. I suspect the real numbers are alot smaller, so even with full luck the add to the chances of dropping are infinitesimal. I think it’s just a v rare drop, 2 rare for a limited event. Fine for something that is always there in the background.

I swear they trolling the playerbase :stuck_out_tongue:

again, luck in this game is not what you think, the luck system is about enhancing the quality of what you get, it doesnt allow you to get a random loot faster, there is no mechanism in this game that allows you to enhance your chance at dropping a certain item.

Luck does improve the chances of named item drops. This is a named item. It gives you more chance of the loot table containing the chance for the chest to drop in this case. However there is also a chance the this is a fixed RNG variable drop, looking at what’s going on.

Luck Does not increase the chances of an object being legendary if it can drop as epic - normal etc. i,e luck will increase the chance of the Lazarus Bow dropping, but wont directly increase the chance of the Lazarus Bow Being legendary when it does drop.

You could get factious and argue it does indirectly makes the chances of a leg drop increase but its a real stretch to do so.

Luck is extremely weird, on my alt I got the corrupted totem the second time I killed him and I only had 1 minor loot and wearing flawed pearls at the time LOL

I think you dont respect your own time. AGS isnt forcing you to do anything, its basically a skin, you can get the same storage chest from trade shop for like 1k gold

If you dont enjoy the event, dont participate

No luck just doesn’t work like that, at all, people got it wrong. Luck ONLY improves the QUALITY of what you drop, it doesn’t improve you actual luck at droping this or that, i understand people wana believe otherwise but it’s exactly the way it works in this game.

They should remove luck altogether. It has never worked before, and will never work.

Well this is taken from one of there official responses on this.

“Luck doesn’t increase your chance to get higher gear score rolls or roll more perks, but it does increase your chances of seeing item drops that have higher chances of rolling bonuses.”

hmm.

This is what you should read, and read carrefully

“Increasing your Luck will definitely make this more likely to occur, but each chance to earn something is independent of all others and there is statistically no guarantee a specific item will drop based on number of attempts.”

Again, understanding luck is not easy what they have made is what i said, you improve your chances at dropping better quality loot, not up your chances at dropping one specific item you would want.

If you read it, it contradicts itself.

“Global Luck = When the player finds something in a chest, or gets a drop from a monster, this improves the player’s chance that the item(s) received will be Named (in the case of weapons and armor) or Rare (in the case of items like schematics or storage chests).”

“Luck doesn’t affect the rate at which items are dropped but rather the quality of the item when a drop is triggered.”

Its a badly written article, open to interpreation, I suspect they didn’t really fully understand the concept themselves or its two different peoples take of how luck works rammed together.

I suspect they mean a sword may drop, having more luck means there is a bigger chance the sword will be named, but there is not an increased chance of a sword dropping.

Also then should define what the mean by an items “quality”.

full luck equip/weapon 1 major 2 basic trophies took me 122 rabbits.

I respect my own time. That’s the reason I unintalled the game. =))

I think this “respect your own time” is such a dumb way of looking at it. It’s an limited time event in a game. The devs give a free and very useful item as a reward for it. Of course people will want it. I also respect that in games like this it is completely normal to have to grind for an item, but I have now killed over 1200 rabbits, which is boring beyond believe and I have got rewarded in no way whatsoever. Events should be fun in a game (which is why we all play it). At least have a fix limit, so that it definitely drops after killing like 800 or 1000 rabbits. That’s more than enough of a boring grind. The difference between some people getting it after killing 20 rabbits and others still not having it after 1200 is ridiculous. This event is not what a game at the brink of death needs.

I think luck is still just luck. You could buy 1 million lotto tickets and not make a dollar back, but someone somehwere jsut bought 1 and hit jackpot.
