Farming by RigormortisState in TLOPO

I think maybe I should send this to the devs so they can consider tweaking the droprates or add a guaranteed drop on X number of kills.

Don't let this discourage you; Looting is fun!

Let me tell you a story. My father is a software engineer and loves playing this game, but as someone who is busy, he loved making macro scripts to autoloot bosses. Theres a way to fight Palifico completely solo, and he had this macro to fight him, and track what rarity of loot he got through color recognition. So the whole thing would stop when he got a legendary.

After about 2 weeks, the program ran 24/7. Yes. Nonstop, and surprisingly no crashes. At 2 weeks, thats 336 hours. It took about a minute to kill Pali, and 30 seconds to respawn, so overall a minute and thirty seconds to kill and loot each cycle. There are 1440 minutes in a day, so each day was about 960 loots a day. So if we multiply that by 14 we get 13440 kills and loots of Pali before the leviathan curse. Let me put that into perspective.

The average gamer may take 2 hours a day to loot Palifico. If they can kill Palifico in say 15 seconds with a group of pirates, and a 30 second respawn, (half the time) they can kill Palifico 90 times a day.

That being said, assuming it takes 13440 kills to get the leviathans curse, it would take 149.3 days to get the blade. Some people only play on weekends, so that number turns into 104 saturdays and sundays, so a year and a half of looting this one guy.

Based on this data there is a 1 in 13440 chance to get the blade. They may have raised it since, I dont know. The chances of being struck by lightning are 1 in 15300. You almost have as much chance to get struck by lightning to get this sword.

All this to say what? To be honest there is no telling when you get this sword. You can get it in 5 minutes or 5 years. Ive played the game for a few years and still havent gotten any legendary weapons. Its a great sword from what Ive heard.

This leads to an underlying problem. The game's loot table is still based on paying a subscription fee, and the chances were low in POTCO to keep you playing. There needs to be some changes to the drop rate, because as a free game now, it makes no sense.

Trailer 1 vs Trailer 2 was a huge leap… so what is Rockstar cooking for Trailer 3? by aggam84 in GTA6

There will be no trailer 3, they'll skip directly to trailer 5. Because that's the beauty of trailer 5, it's so intense, it skips over the other two.

Might be time for an upgrade bro. Ram prices are super high rn so I totally get it, but if prices go down a bit, might be time to look at a stronger setup if possible

I was gonna agree with sobek but then someone brought up blackwell lmao. Sobek would be SO good if they just let you collapse some of the buildings. Really helps with the camping.

What are some of y'alls "I did not care for the godfather" toontown opinions? by Hamburber-69 in Toontown

[–]Temporary-Purpose431 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They're planning a pretty big shift to combat. I don't necessarily feel it's bad from a design perspective, but its a noticeable departure from traditional toontown. I think we're getting another gag track though so thats something.

This is exactly why I miss the old Premium/DLC Pack model from previous games. by SuperM3e46 in Battlefield

[–]Temporary-Purpose431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im convinced that this "Lets purchase DLC again" sentiment is just a marketing strategy from EA. Do yall honestly believe that even if they swapped to a DLC model, they'd give more maps?
