General Discussion - 1000+ jewelers orbs zero 6 sockets - Forum

" PoE_Account wrote: Well GGG it was fun but I will no longer play a game that punishes its players through terrible RNG. All future projects created by GGG will be ignored as well. For the players that say I could have used Vorici, well that is true except that I was attempting to 6 socket by spending less than 350 jewelers orb's and by the time you reach 250 whats another 100, right? So I kept going at bunches of 100. I mean if most people on the forums seem to do it in 100-150 and on rare occasions 300-400 it shouldn't have been much after the 350 set by Vorici that just by random chance the 6 sockets would have popped. But here I am at over 1000 jewelers orb's spent and not once did it happen. The item I was attempting to 6 socket was an item level 70 Pledge of Hands. All i have to say is, DONT EVER GO TO A CAISNO, seriously you will leave broke every time with that mentality, lol IGN:Axe_Crazy	Posted by MasterAxe#6129 on Nov 7, 2014, 2:55:56 AM Quote this Post
Consider yourself lucky. The chances of this happening are quite low.	Posted by PitzerMike#2276 on Nov 7, 2014, 2:59:50 AM Quote this Post
Such is the way of casino orbs. You learned them the hard way.	Posted by aldorus#6039 on Nov 7, 2014, 3:03:11 AM Quote this Post
I am sorry to put this out there, but i think even the masters crafting mod ranges, that are useless in end game, are weighted. You get the lower bracket numbers a lot more often as i noticed. Examples I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.

Are you sure your item was high level enough for 6s :P ? If you can't get 6s under 100 jewellers , i recommend to use recipe :)	Posted by ffogell#6809 on Nov 7, 2014, 8:33:48 AM Quote this Post
I like the casino analogy. 1000 people go to the casino. 990 people lose, but don't brag about it. 7 people brag about their mediocre winnings at the one-arm bandits. 3 people hit jackpot at the tables and brag about it, making another 1000 new people go to the casino. POE is a constantly evolving game, so expect balance changes, buffs and nerfs STILL!	Posted by THEHORNEDRAT#1516 on Nov 7, 2014, 10:22:10 AM Quote this Post
6S has been stated by devs to be exactly 1:300 (source: www.googlethatshitforyourself.com) Thus, the median for 6S would be (1-(1/300))^n = 0.5 n= ln 0.5/ln299/300 = 207.59 ~ 208 attempts. If you feel lucky, gamble away. If you are averted to risk, use Vorici. Nuff said.	Posted by GodfreyofIbelin#4711 on Nov 7, 2014, 8:20:40 PM Quote this Post
Yeah, I was trying to beat the house. Just like many people in this game do and from what it seems quite often players do successfully spend less than the 350 cost recipe to 6 socket. Before Vorici there was no other choice but to gamble with the currency. But this example goes beyond just trying to save on some currency. The real issue here is that GGG has created a situation in their game that causes players to quit. If you are in business to make money you want to avoid situations like this.[/quote] Flawed logic. There are people who are willing to gamble and accept and their loss and continue to play on. It is up to yourself ultimately to whether be a person who blames on luck or blame on yourself.
