Map drops are random, right? Right?

Depends on what "a full day of mapping is"

It does seem drops are worse, but at the same time you see players like raiz still easily sustaining red maps in SSFHCB the first week.

RNG is RNG the only way to overcome it is to just run those shitty low tier maps till things swing in your favor. And of course going back to my first statement, how fast are you clearing? I mean you might not like the meta but when people are doing maps 3x faster than you, you have to do something.

Still looks random to me.

No, it doesn't. It may be random [hence this thread] but it sure as hell doesn't look like it.

Oh wait... are you one of those people who thinks random means equal?

Well, given a large enough sample size, then yes, that's precisely what it means. It isn't absolute, mind you, but pretty much equal, yeah. Roll a T6 six billion times and, yes, you should get pretty much "equal" results over all six sides.


Your screen shot shows 21 maps, not six billion.

You do know that the maps I have run do not show up in the map tab, right?

-Anorak's Almanac. Chapter 17, Verse 32
When buying maps are you unwilling to pay 2 alch instead of 1 alch or whatever the cheapest price is. Typically there arn't many maps availabile at the cheapest price as its just somebody dumping a bunch and they often go very quickly. If you go up to the 2nd price break point you'll usually have better luck.

I also don't understand why you're running T2 maps when they're all completed and you have 14 T3 maps... Do you just want to farm T2s for some reason?

You do know that your pic is completely useless for anyone drawing any conclusions if you now point out that it does not represent what actually happened, right?

Map drops are not random, most maps drop from connected maps. Maps can technically drop anywhere provided they don’t violate the tier ruling but you don’t get maps from the right side of the atlas dropping if you’re running maps on the left side,

In this case, everything is working as intended. As was said above, google atlas completion and take a crash course on how all this stuff works before throwing a temper tantrum. Then you won’t look so dumb...
It never worked like that. Also after the latest changes you have more chances of dropping the map you have not completed. I run left side and get right side of the atlas maps and vise versa so.


Except it did. Why do you think people shaped their atlases to begin with? To better control the map drops on high valued maps.

Honestly I’m stunned by how dumb the forums have gotten. Gonna slide out the side door now... yikes.

Right... it's been six hours since I made this topic and had 27 completed maps. Guess how many I have now? That's right; TWENTY SEVEN! And I'm not making this up, not one new map has dropped in that time. I have dozens of the ones I have already completed, so maps drop, but why no new ones?!

This is beginning to piss me off, what the fuck is going on? Why have 20 Dungeon maps dropped, but not one, single Arid Lake?!? Something is broken, I have never, ever witnessed anything like this, not even close.

Oh, and another Peninsula. What fun... And trading for them - forget it, it ain't happening. Missing Desert, made, oh, what 30 queries. Got zero responses.

Well, I guess I go play something else, because this isn't working. I'm not progressing, nothing's happening.

How about you read what I say, then. I said I played for six hours straight doing maps without a single new map dropping. And that was AFTER this pattern mentioned in the OP was firstly observed and BEFORE you entered this discussion. It's not my problem if you're not paying attention. It's yours.

By the way, two more hours of mapping today; still at 28. Doing Excavation, drops Ashen Wood. Does Ashen Wood, drops Excavation. That actually happened, I alt-f4'rd.

Roughly a plethora of 15 different maps are frequently dropping, for about 50 positions of which 28 are completed. Hour after hour after hour. That's not "RNG", that's something being wrong. And when I say wrong, I mean different compared to other Leagues, because I have never had this problem before, with thousands of hours doing maps. Not even close.

I usually start trading for maps when I reach T9-10, and only then to finish off stragglers here and there. Not to progress, and certainly not to go beyond T4-5.

Did not and is not. Since you said that maps [mostly] drop maps adjacent to the one you're running, I figured I find out how wrong you are. Out of a few hours of mapping, roughly 40 maps dropped, not ONE, SINGLE MAP dropped was adjacent to the one I was running. Not one. All but a single map that dropped weren't even from the same tier. One. Out of 40. And it was three places over.

So, uh, no.

How do you figure I'm running T2 instead of T3? Because of the picture? Well, that's for illustrating purposes. Of course I'm running the highest tiered map I have. But if the single T5 map I have drops two Armoury's and two Dungeons, what do you figure I should do? Again, I can't run maps I don't have!

And there are plenty of people in this thread explaining that maps [mostly] drop adjacent to the one you're running, and since I'm missing Desert, I have now ran a dozen of Excavation without Desert dropping. In fact, no new map dropped from those 10 runs, despite there being 50/50 of incomplete/completed maps in the drop range.

I mean... some say I'm stupid because I'm not running the "correct" maps and others are questioning why I'm not running the highest maps I have. Clearly there's a disconnect here because both these groups can't be right at the same time.

this thread is hilarious.

I started SC betrayal on Monday due to a HC rip.

I work 9-5 m-f so during the week my playtime is limited.

I'm currently lvl 83 , ran probably no more than 20 or so of my own maps and have a tier 4 map pool currently (like 8 t4s).

Considering I wasnt mapping until late wensday night at the earliest you're doing something wrong.

I plan to sustain my own map pool and I also alc every map I run. Could be the reason
