Maps drops, weird rng

If you want to sustain T16s you have to MAX EVERYTHING aka chisels, chaos rerolling, 4 sextants, frags, zana mod, extra mobs rolls, 120 quant and at least 3 mob prophecies active so if one won't proc, another does.

Why do I have 3.5 stash tabs full of red maps then? "More gated than ever", honestly they are even more common now than during Incursion.

looool

Sure. We all believe you. Both! Tell us more fairy tales! xD

i would love to do all this even for yellow maps if i just not had to play path of trading instead of an arpg.

i very much like sextants but you can't sustain on yourself. you need to buy them. same with the (better) zana mods.
i love vaaling maps but vaal orbs are so scarce you need to buy them. there is no way to self sustain if you want to vaal maps and apply a zana mod on it!
for chaos orbs: sure you can do the recipe to get most of it back.
but the time you need to invest to buy maps/orbs/... set up an elder/shaper ping pong likely surpasses the time you actually spend playing the game.

this is just ridiculous.

on a side note
many ppl say "just buy the stuff you need" and while this is somewhat true they seem to forget that these things don't drop more for other ppl.
meaning: those who sell vaal orbs/sextants are not using them themselves. so either they don't map at all or cut their drops on purpose.

in other words: to make it a good experience for a few ppl a lot of others have to suffer.
while this is also the case in the real world out there does it really need to apply for a game?

One is T16s, one is red maps. You CAN sustain if you max everything, which I very much dislike and you CAN get a full stash of red maps aka T11+.

I played a total of 1 week + did Elder Haunted Mansions.

Kill any of the Shaper's Guardians (80/80)
Kill any of the Elder's Guardians (48/120)

Oh well, went with a video instead of making 4 different screenshots

Far as guardians go, killed 46 so around 50 tier 16 guardian maps finished, more if you count elder underground sea which I run most of all. I am concentrating primarily on corrupting tier 15s though for that sweet 27c vaal temple.

If RNG wasn't weird, it wouldn't be RNG.

Yey, I can sell some of .

Then go buy maps in bulk from trade bots and do same show off about tons of T16 "I dropped this league ez pz". Sure, np! xD

Anyway here who have more premium tabs so he can sell stuff quickly and no life first week of the league - guaranteed to have several mirrors just for the week. Then he can buy literally anything later on.

Thats all you need to know about RNG.

I was about to say almost the same thing. "Random" wouldn't be "random" if it wasn't random.

Pseudo-random is not weird. It is still random but the probability of extensive good/bad streaks has been diminished. From dota 2

Other games deal with RNG in similar ways too. Random doesn't necessarily have to always be completely random.

It doesn't have to. But in PoE it is very random. In Incursion, my record was 34 yellow maps in a row without an upgrade. This league, I'm at a streak of 29.

Imagine having a pity timer like in D3 where after playing for 10 000 hours the game finally drops you a mirror.
