Patch Note August 31, 2024

These notes are about several adjustments and fixes that we have pushed to production during the month of August 2024! We are working hard on the next big patch, for which you will receive details soon!

Legendary Items RNG Balancer #

Currently testing a prototype RNG balancer for Legendary Purple Items being rolled with the Loot NEED action. It will work under the hood and won’t be visible on the loot roll interface for now.

1. Every time a player fails to win a Legendary Purple Item on a NEED roll, a boost value of +2 is added to his/her next Legendary Purple Item NEED roll.
2. That value stacks with itself for as long as the player keeps loosing a NEED roll for a Legendary Purple Item (+2 is added each time a NEED roll is lost).
3. Once that player wins a Legendary Purple Item with a NEED roll, the boost value is erased and returns to +0.
4. This value is stored account wide, not per character.

This should fasten the natural even distribution of the RNG luck for Legendary items among Raiders. We’ll keep that monitored and adjust accordingly if/when necessary.
