Mods have no idea so wouldn’t expect them to answer

Any system with luck gear or magic find or whatever needs to have two things
#1. Display appropriately the amount of luck you have somewhere on the character in total. This to determine that the stuff you have on is actually counted.
#2. Display the “roll” you made with looting chests to ensure #1 is accurate.
Do not need to tell us anything else. The rest has been datamined to hell and back.
By doing these two things we would know
" I rolled X. Which met the threshold for Y loot. I did/did not receive it. It is Fine/bugged".

From:
Idea: add luck values (general/harvesting/mining/etc) to our bio screen, that the game uses for rnd, and log every rolls into local (chest opens, loots, everything, ofc make it toggleable, let us debug your shit 
)
OFC, no answer

I feel lucky plays no part in any of the drops at all . Go by trend we have seen so many items once rare going for thousands to be worth Pennie’s now . I feel x amount of players at let’s say 200 armoring with x amount of players having three houses and three minor trophies equals x amount of journals added to the loot pool doesn’t mean the player that needs it finds it . So I guess a small amount of luck that you find it in the loot table . One thing is for certain that 20k journal today next month will be 500.

Hey all!
I’m sad that it feels like we don’t listen. For sure, we want to be better at keeping up a good conversation with you all. Trust me that we love the game as much as you do and I cherish the passion you all bring to the game and to these forums with this kinda thread. We’re trying to respond more often because we really do hear you all. We want the game to be an amazing experince for everyone and I know we don’t always get all the details right the first try. We’re making balance adjustments for the next update right now after feedback we got from the PTR. And there’s a ton of work going into chasing down cheaters, fixing bugs, stopping bots, and working on new stuff.
Thanks for being awesome. Keep the feedback coming.

There needs to be a ui indicator of current luck percentage. Put it on the character screen or somewhere ffs.

let me know what my roll out of 100k is.
i want to know just how fucking unlucky i actually am.
Maybe the Dev’s just haven’t had enough luck yet to find this post… LOLOLOLOL.
(Sorry couldn’t resist)
I can help you all a little bit with this overtyped ‘bump’.
Shortly after a patch, of any game, there is always a “Stand by with extinguisher” period. Also known as holding your breath, waiting for the other shoe… etc. etc.
I would believe that shortly after they will be dropping by to weigh in. They do have to be extremely careful with what they say, because they know from reading my post in here, along with my other forum suggestions, and many others like me, that they have extremely well versed people in coding and game design lurking around. (You could pay us to fix some things too…LOL we’d like that hefty Amazon payout…prime for life… etc.)
That being said, they don’t know exactly what we’ll do if they (the devs) slip up and say the wrong thing in a response, or perhaps it is as I originally said: They don’t know how or where to even begin fixing the issues… just slight adjustments that can be made without breaking 20 other things.
Perhaps they are also waiting to have some good news to share. Maybe they were gone on vacation for the holidays to visit family. Who knows?
Yes, it is frustrating as a player opening untold amounts of chests and doing the same menial things over and over again to not have any word on seemingly, and actual, broken things.
We all know that things went horribly horribly wrong between the beta and public release of this game, for those of us that were around. What that exactly is, we will probably never know.
What we do know is that a chain of events ensued (as often does in any programming) that has been deteriorating the state of the game, right from the very first day when someone decided to restrict the servers to 2K people per for a global release…
The thing I am trying to communicate here is that Yes, it’s so frustrating to not hear anything, but I want the readers here to take a moment to look and reflect on something:
When you are at your job, or your spouse, kids, family, friend(s), etc. all are impatient for you to do or respond to something that you aren’t necessarily obligated to do, especially when you are already busy with your other ACTUAL obligations… how does that make you feel?
That is likely how the game developers, and probably even community managers feel at this moment towards just about everything that is on fire with this game. Yes, players are upset. Yes, we all want answers. No, no one seems to have them yet.
I have never liked the “God on High” type developer communication restrictions/premise, but as someone who has been asked to help write community updates for the developers of another upcoming developing game… (Sorry can’t disclose that game either, but you know what it is if you’re involved with the Alpha)
I can tell you that this lack of communication isn’t acceptable either. I’d be happy to be a go between for AGS devs and (I mean this in the most loving way possible) “the mere mortals”, putting dev jargon into context that can be understood by anyone. (For a moderate price mind you, Amazon does pay well for talent)
But seriously, we will hear something sooner than later, this problem is probably very much multi-faceted and complex, involving nearly everything into the game. When you have to approach with bad news, no matter higher ups or lower downs, you always come prepared with something to “chase” it. Much like how young people drink at a bar nowadays.
This is the way of the world, and apparently New World. I hope you all had amazing holidays, and are doing well! Thanks for reading.
P.S. To the trolls: Look, I know your lives might be miserable, boring, or you need to break free of being the model person in RL, or whatever the reasoning behind trolling is. Do it somewhere else, get therapy, or just make your life better. It’s okay to do it once in a while, but add something positive, be part of the solution. You’ll like yourself a lot more, or at least more than you do now. Aside from all that… thank you for the thread bumps and the eye rolling exercises. Your posts were very helpful in those manners.

I would like to point out I have the Exceptional Thief Achievement and probably at about 13k chests so far.
Yes I do lots of stockpile runs.
Been running almost max luck since about 2k/ 13k. I have not seen one Stacked Deck yet.
I repeat I have not received one single stacked deck yet. Heres to another 13k chests and no stacked decks either lmao.
