RNG tales: it loves me! .... oh wait no ... no it doesn't


I will write this in CAPS LOCK:

A SIX-LINK DROPPED!
AND THEN I HIT T1 WITH AN ALTERATION!

and then I Regaled it



guess the Regal

It's a display bug... it's really +2 life.
I could make fun of you but I'll just hop around.

it's T1^(-1). I want to Divine it for a full +9 D&D mod

That's ok, I'm happy with my 2/3 great RNG. I have a 6-link and it has T1 ES+AR hybrid from just ~10 Alterations.

It goes to show how GGG's algorithm is designed. It will never give you the whole cake. I should have seen that troll prefix coming.

It's just very unlikely.
Even if they were evenly distributed. There are 4 tiers, I guess, and 6 mods.
So the chance to get 6 T1 mods is 1:4⁶ = 1:4096

The odds to get an ultimate lowest tier life prefix, or a "troll's" like PyleWarlord got - should be similar.

These kinds of things make me put my trusty tinfoil on, and imagine GGG's code has a section to rotate a "fuck you affix" next, in case a T1 rolled.
