Oddity or linked to event....

[Yendor]

I really enjoy all the events as it gives me something else to achieve while waiting for wars and upgrades to finish. Something strange happened today, twice I went to collect cider and mine gold and NOTHING! This has never happened to me before so I'm wondering if this is a rare oddity or linked to the event to make getting trade goods we need for blessing harder. I did get 45 blessings done so far so I should finish reaching 100 in the next few days but wanted to know if others are facing this?

You are lucky this is your first time. I had 0 metal and cider happen to me multiple times. It happens quite frequently actually, once every few days, sometimes every day.

 

[BV123]

Yeah. It's something that happens now and then.

 

[Empire]

Right, like others said, this tends to happen occasionally. The bummer is when this happens as you need mercs for war

 

[Yendor]

Thanks all for your input

 

[Xerxes]

Something to keep in mind... Since I got lvl 7 merc camp, the vast majority of my free mercs from the Taj Mahal have been flammpanzers.

 

[The Huns]

It does happen some times. Though two times through 8 things that are 60% likely is improbable. (.4^16 is about 1 in 2.5 million times). When I get closer to the goal I'll let you know if you are the rare oddity or if it happens to me as well.

Whoa - nice!!

 

[Ravenlord]

Don't listen to these people - Nexon is clearly messing with you to coincide with this event !!!!

 

[Motaz Tarek]

the 60% chance of cider and metal seems to be 25%
idk if it's about luck but if so we wouldn't see too many players complaining about it
i guess it got nerfed without announcement to avoid rage

As the 60% chance is ambiguous it's hard to tell whether it's right or wrong.

6 trees, each potentially offering 0,1,2,3 cider, 18 max, 60% is around 10

But 60% could just mean 1 cider per tree, 6 max, 60% is 4.

But as this is BHG and their track record of percentages is ropey, it's probably wrong.

More straightforward would have been, each tree coughs up 1 cider, then a 1 in 4 chance of 2, 1 in 8 chance of 3

One line of code : cider = 1 + (rand()&4>>2) + (rand()&8>>3)

 

[BV123]

Good for ya.

 

[Funks]

Yeah. It's something that happens now and then.

Wait what.. now and then!!? I'm lucky if I get iron or cider most times! Srsly would get it like 25% of the time, other than that zip (cept for money and fly fists of ham), its damn annoying!

 

[Funks]

remind me never to go to a casino with you Ed :S

 

[Motaz Tarek]

if the 60% chance = 1 cider we would see 1 cider loot which never happens
so i guess it's a 60% chance to yeild cider which probably has another % of either yeilding 2 or 3 ciders

 

[BV123]

I think the OP was referring to a total 0 goods out of all the 6 trees and 2 mines during one collection.

I usually get cider from maybe 2 or 3 out of the 6 trees at a time.

 

[Yendor]

It happened twice in one day that's why I thought it was linked to event

 

[Ravenlord]

Well, when 15 million people are using cider or metal there's bound to be a shortage or two ......

 

[Nb4powerup]

Its hit or miss for me. Sometimes I can do a full harvest and get nothing and other times the fruit trees make it rain
