Just how much of the game is predetermined?

[Boroeast]

I think the point people are making is that knowing to what extent things are predetermined would impact HOW they play the game.

There's very few "gauranteed" investments in this game, and it's like walking down a road riddled with pot holes in the dark. For those of us not on the inside track, sharing knowledge with each other is the only torch to light our way.

It's easy to be flippant when you're part of the crew that has all the advantages and insider knowledge. Just remember that the majority of us are not in this category, and find these sorts of threads useful.

Maybe you need more information of what we do-
Tynon Moderators- Strictly ONLY monitors the FORUMS itself. We do not get advantages and neither perks for being a Moderator. We don't get pay ether.
So really, we're just regular players like yourself.

Does it really impact how you play the game? I don't think so, why? Just like you say "very few "gauranteed" investments in this game" you knew what Tynon was, and so did I. Why do we still play the game? Because we love it, don't we? The game have a lot of potential,maybe some decisions taken didn't quite match our expectations, some hated them, others love them! Tynon can't make everyone happy.

Like I told mattp, I don't worry about those things, I just Refresh, Shuffle, Redeem! Haha.

So just how much of the game is chance and how much of the game is predetermined.
As i have just found out TYNON selects what i get in my guild chest every before i shuffle.

The guild chest and all chance events are random. The only question is when the random roll occurs (typically before a shuffle), but there's not some guy in a dark room deciding these things.

SO its a lady in a well lit room making all the decisions?

Her name is Guinevere, but where she is at any given moment is a mystery.

LOL! Suddenly everything makes sense.

Sorry Dawn, but the chests aren't random. If I open and close gold/silver chest a few times, and kept an eye on the items inside, I know exactly what it is I will be receiving. This is not random if you know what you will get...

It's randomly chosen the first time you unlock the chest, at least that's what I can tell. The roll doesn't re-occur once there's already been a roll, perhaps to save server CPU cycles. I'm guessing the choice to do this sort of thing was made as a way to save hardware costs.

The labyrinth tiles seem to be set when you start the labyrinth run. When I got disconnected the other day, I was a couple of moves back from where I was when I got disconnected. I moved onto the exact same tiles and got the exact same results. It's not the first time its happened to me and it will probably not be the last.

Lab rewards :
If Token present, Far right. EVERYTIME!
Gems, Far left~usually, at least when I pick it. When both are present and I go for Token, gems sits middle.

[MuffJunky]

Placement of the items are different for most of us. My tokens are generally in the middle and gems are one to the right.

Plus, the guild chest isn't so bad that it should just give you an item when you Claim from guild. I find that when I know I'm getting a map piece, I wait to use the map I claimed, then once am done sailing, collect my map piece from the chest. Also, opening and closing chests allow you to determine which jewel type you want, when in fact you know you're getting a jewel. I think the items in game that are predetermined aren't so bad. When the game wants me to have it, it will give it to me. This applies to everyone playing, so it's not like some are getting an unfair advantage over others.
