A little bird told me it was "Re-Seeded" in a recent patch or whatever. IS this true? Could someone confirm or deny this?


-ABM

    what exactly do you mean - I just recently bought 1200 common Med doffs at 750FM each

    what kind of info are you looking for? - I still get on avg a 30/70 split between Med/sci

    Actually, I am more concerned about the recent probability changes to exchange missions and the like...Across all 'toons I am getting a uncharacteristically high amount of "greens". I was wondering if there has been soem tweak on the backend...

    I have as well - I'm not saying that Purps cant happen, I'm saying that they are more rare now...

    Purple prob is low - even if you have 25% chance of getting a purple you could still get 10 greens in a row.

    I have been getting an unusual amount of failures and greens on asylum missions in the past week or so. If it was happening on just one character I'd say it was just bad luck. but its been happening on three characters. Maybe just bad luck, but I've never had a streak like this happen before. not saying they changed things but...well maybe:cool:

    I have only one character and I have no bad luck like those with alts. In my case 75% turn out to be either blue or purple on the only toon I'm playing.

    Though that's the way randomness works... If you weren't getting streaks of good/bad luck, then that would mean that the numbers weren't really random... As random does not mean evenly distributed in a small sample...
