Thread: Can an account be cursed?

  1. #1

    Question Can an account be cursed?

    I wonder if it's possible that some accounts get back luck built in when you join a server. After two weeks of bad luck, I started spreadsheeting my progress so I could keep track of my luck to see if it changed.
    It did, for the worse.

    Right now my current/biggest streaks are:
    - 93 million credits spent in tavern, with 784 spirits since my last hero card draw. (12 days and running)
    - 178 refreshes in the tavern without seeing a gold/purple hero
    - 98 million coins spent in temple, seeing the legendary keeper 184 times, gaining 16 fragments. with only one useless yellow (Preciseness, gained at 87m of that streak, 8 days into that streak)
    - 13 times in a row and counting of failure from 4 to 5 stars on my main hero.
    - Of the past 100 destiny tiles, 64 have been lost moves, 13 have been blocked spaces, 12 double move, with only 11 gained moves.

    How do these compare with what other people experience? Because I watch the same people in the server I play, get cards nightly and get runes daily, and just wonder.

    I've found that it's best to play when you see others succeed. If you don't succeed quickly yourself, then stop and try again in half an hour or an hour. The luck seems to be somewhat controlled on the server end, from what I can tell. Streaks are common and you can tell the lucky times based on how many people are popping up on the server-wide display.

    When I ignore my own advice, I find that I waste 5 million coins or so and receive nothing. When I strike after I see that the runes are falling like hotcakes, I can get some fragments and maybe a yellow or two before luck runs out.

    It's good practice to remember this game is not a sprint, it's a marathon.

    Yeah, I am pretty convinced that the world message broadcasts (e.g. "Mr. Lucky just found a rare XYX Rune in the Rune Temple!") are put out like a marquee to advertise to the others and create anxiety and a sense of urgency to get with it and spend some gems and advance yourselves. So its likely that they have a software algorithm that lets the win rate increase at the peak hours of play or when a certain threshold of players is on but not buying gems at a pre-targeted hourly spend rate. When you see these announcement replace some of the words with Kmart to get the drift of what I am saying: "Attention Kmart shoppers for the next hour in Isle 7 there's a lot of people winning Runes"...

    Each server probably has a gem purchase schedule and dollar-bogey per hour to cover its overhead and expenses and is using market psychology to get a lagging server to push people into upping the spend rate (more world announcements wand dynamic odds tinkering). This is the first ever game I have seen that seems to have been designed by marketers and professional gougers who know exactly how to get every gem out of your wallet and the users all on the fast-track to an addiction to the VIP daisy-chain...

    Yes I would think so.

    I have a alternate account which has is very lucky in Temple
    *13 yellow runes, only 1 came from rune fragments on it and I have gotten Vitality rune twice in a row
    *Gotten 25 rune fragments

    My main account has
    *8 yellow runes, only 1 from rune fragments.
    *Has gotten 22 rune fragments

    My main account is better in luck when it comes to Tavern though, so I guess it evens out.

    Just did 235 spins in the tavern and got nothing. A few times there were 3 purple or gold heroes on one line and still nothing. I have not rolled any heroes in days yet the same people seem to get them over and over.

    Sometimes I know if you push f5 it will help alittle bit. Other then the few times of doing that I don't know. But Does anyone know how to report?
