    I kinda doubt that the output of the rng is stored for an indefinite amount of time.

    yes i think it is.

    So let say the rng is done for the next 10 guild chests. after you open 5 or so it RNGs up another 5 that get tacked on to the other 5 that were still stored.
    Then same for the next so many star attempts per hero
    then so many sainting attempts per hero
    then casino rolls
    Its not like theres an infinite amount fo things stored. They can manage teh amount of memory used. And the RNG results arent much data to store per acct. It probably takes less memory then the aerie map

    I hadn't thought of doing it like that. Anyways I doubt tynon will ever tell how it works so I'm not gonna argue over it.

    Thank you matt for making this rather entertaining thread.

    Wrong, because you guys INDEED do misrepresent the actual odds of getting an item. Heavens Tavern being the main example. In reality, seeing a gold and a purple in a 5 card draw would lead you to think that you have a 40% chance of getting either of those two good cards. When in reality that is the furthest from the truth. If anything its more like 1% chance, if that. Hell if theres a purple and a gold in a 5 card draw and I utilize both gem turnovers, 99% of the time its NEITHER of those cards. So in actuality those good cards are just there to lead players on who dont know any better. Again misleading.

    Guild chest rewards, misleading. Quest rewards, misleading. Everything about the game is misleading from the WAY its represented. Only those of us who understand the mechanics behind the game understand not to be sucked in by your misleading tactics...but in the end that doesnt change the fact that they're misleading. You cant compare it to casino games because there is no false chance of getting the card you want in a casino game, if theres three cards down you have a 33% chance of getting the one you want.

    See heres the thing with tavern.
    you say its misleading because you say there should be a equal chance of drawing any of the 5 cards shown. You cant prove one way or the other if that is true. We all speculate that it is not, but cant prove it.

    Take a bag. Put 4 black rocks in it and 1 red one. You have a 20% chance to get the red right.

    take a rock out. its black. but the rock back in and try again. you get a black again. do it again and again and again. you could easily do 20 pulls of all black or 20 pulls of all red. You are unlikely going to do 20 straight pulls of all red, but 20 straight pulls of all all black is likely.

    So youd have to prove that the software is designed to not give a equal chance of drawing one of the 5 cards shown and the only way you could do that is to see the code. Because theorectical probability and statistical probability will rarely ever match up you cant used the observed data to prove it.

    The observation that its no where near an equal chance and there for its misleading and therefore rigged is akin to saying watching some one flipping a coin 100 times and seeing it come up heads 75 times and claiming the coin is rigged.

    The problem with your argument is that these things have been used thousands of times - probably more like 100s of thousands. Given the amount of times the cards have been shuffled and turned, if th eodds were actually 1 in 5, it would be somewhere close to that given the number of times it's been done. And, from being on 2 different servers, I can tell you it isn't anywhere near 1 in 5.

    That said, I totally understand the cards are only a representation of what's there - that they don't actually represent the odds. But, some wouldn't know that - at least not at first. That's what some are upset about. But, every game I've played of this sort does the same thing, so I don't see a real problem, but can understand those that do.

With the New system, this Predetermined "Rigged" system is more evident with the Card Broker. I have not Sold or used any of the card given by the Broker and most of them are Blues I do not use, with occasion Purples. I have yet to get a Gold due to I will NOT waste Gems on the Broker as I will need the gems to open Armor Slots, and I am Not a Coiner (person that spends money) as I do not have the funds to support this game. I barely have funds to support myself.

    starting Monday of last week using no gem flips I got blue, Dawn, Alexa, blue, Rhize, Rhize, saffron, blue, blue, Cianna.

    There is no misrepresentation. It is documented in the wiki that the odds are not 20%. http://tynon.wikia.com/wiki/Heaven_Tavern

    Then why show the heros? I havent checked the wiki and I ALREADY know this, whats to think your typical player in this game will have checked a Wiki, let alone that exact page? Just because its in the fine print somewhere doesnt mean its not being misrepresented. Last I checked the Wiki is made by the playerbase also, so not like uCool is going out of their way to let the entire playerbase know this.
