The secrets/mysteries of RNG cloud and Why you should not ever stop playing after a godly drop. Ep3

That its a glitch or its truth game sure has showed me its dif clouds, in closed beta there were days were me and my many friends all farmed same area at dif times and matches names in instances. often in seperate instances we would all end up finding quality gems in very close sucetion and lets say we all found 16-19 quality gems, we would find those usualy most of the day unless serers crashed or something came up events soemtimes stuff like that. but evrytime gems droped nice we would all group up even more due to the odd reocurement and the fact that we would ALL find similar quality gems. some days was only 6-12 quality. but it was almost always constant. and it was global. could been glitch. or hell could been random.

But in noway will you make me believe that us legit talking to each other about such specefic drops being controlled by server, its happaned tons of times. how many times have i found 2-5 times the SAME unique 2-5times in a row THE SAME ONE. i would say you are absolutely right about this whole cloud drops. might be that PoE's drop system is just broken and has been for years tho. keep that in mind. dsync got worst since release and fps on AMD isint anywhere near getting fixed. tons of other broken stuff. this whole "cloud mf" could just be bugs in the drop system. iether way ive played since 2009-2010 and i can say you defenetly want to keep p laying hell you want to play HARDER :) who knows if this will occur. it has for years and wont just stop so :) enjoy.

Best I ever got was 2 exalts drop on the same day :>

Went 3-4 months without finding one, then I had a single map drop 2 from chests.

Add some evidence:



Alched successively. Notice the notorious +1 all roll.

Hahaha it makes me smile ( at least mentally), i can't believe this thread is still alive.

I drop ice shots looots of ice shots far more than any other gem. Is it confirmation bias? Maybe but I don't have any other gem comparable and I save all q gems.

Now that's what i am talking about!

I keep a log of my Piety runs and a reader told me about this thread and I should report what happened here.

So, as I understand I had a short cloud today;
Had 3 Stone of Lazhwars in 2 consequent Piety runs.
1st run: 1 from Spinecrack then from Piety,
2nd run: From the rare mob near Spinecrack.

Edit: Okay, the day after I got 2 more Stone of Lazhwars...

Ahaha Great EDIT.

I'll add some stories to this hypothesis. I've found 3 exalts till now and 2 of them were dropped in one day ..

The question would be: What if you quit the game that day you have found 1 exalt? Would you have found another one as soon as you logged in? If not, then : never stop playing after an ex drop, you might find another one later.

A few other notes: The Coward's Trial Unique map is guaranteed to drop a unique at the end. It bestowed upon me one of my Zahndethus' to add to the pile. It seems like an interesting way to confirm RNG cloud theory. Although I suggest doing it after a better unique. I seem stuck in low level unique hell personally.

Good fucking point.

Another thing I have noticed is when crafting, rolling alterations seems very prone to producing the same mod over and over when you do it quickly. Somehow getting a single resist on a weapon will keep getting that same crap roll of a single resist, though I've also seen it step through levels of an affix. IE: the same affix but a higher range each time. Although I have no proof or way to confirm, it makes me feel like whatever method they use to RNG is possibly modifying the previous roll based on the clock or some other number thats prone to being incremental. I've seen far more streaks of bad rolls than good. If for whatever reason you are say in a low streak any multiplicative change has less of a difference than if you were at a high point.

I would like to see some more investigation of rolling items continuously.

Now that's beyond my "wisdom(aka poe experience)"

We need more experimentation, someone must start it.
Imagine if crafting and farming provided the same results?!

Again what would have happened if you stoped playing the game when you found only 1 ex that day? ( would you have found another one the day after? Cloud dissapeared)

Another information i had that i did not share:
Some guy in poe has found 2 MIRRORS of KALANDRA, yes he found one And another! The two of them were in maps but not in the same day, maybe not during the same month.
The thing is : he had a Mirror of Kalandra' cloud, i don't know if it was associated to his account or if he was using the same char.

in one map

I have now found a 4th Zahndethu's body armor and in a span of a few days I found 3 flaying knife uniques.

I was rolling mods on bows with alts and tryng to get a crit roll. It hit a 20% local finally and I quickly threw another alt on it and it rerolled to the max crit:


Im quite certain there is a way to use this to your advantage with enough experience to know the pattern better. Sometimes it is absolutely incremental when rolling.

Another thing I want to point out is how much the in-game economy is controlled by GGG. Chromatics have been rising in price relative to other currency to the point of it being very difficult for new players to even afford rolling off-colors. After a week or so of chromatic scarcity and ratios getting out of whack, I run a map to find one after another dropping. I found probably over 10 chromatics in a single map and thats in addition to tri-color links.

Lately I feel like they are seeding 5/6L's because I have been using the docks testing gem combinations and litetally every other run I get a 6s armor. Im not talking out of 5 runs here, it happened consistently for over 20 runs and 6s were fairly rare for me before.

I found two Divine Orbs in the same map. Before that, I had never found a Divine Orb before. RNG yeah right....

I was at a casino once and hit straight flush followed by 4 of a kind a few hands later. I'm not sure the casino felt like hooking me up with another top tier winning hand, but I got one nonetheless.

Well clearly their RNG was broken.
