Duplicate drops from back to back Sirus fight

The last two times I fought Sirus at lvl8 I received duplicate drops. Both times i got a Awakened Melee Splash Support and the Crown of the Inward Eye and an Awakener Orb.

I figured with RNG i would at least end up with something different each time.

Anyone else experience similar?

Thats whats called RNG.

if you couldn't get the same thing dropped it wouldn't be random

There is something strange in Poe's RNG. I have seen it plenty of times. Thousand hours without any drop and then poof 2 exalteds at the same time.

About 30 minutes ago I got two exalts and a divine from the same Tier 4 blue map.

One exalt and the divine dropped from a strong box modified with a transmute that gave it rogue exile mod.

The other exalt dropped from a regular mob.

This has never happened to me before, been playing since 2013.

I was delving last night and had to move up and around to get to a Harbinger node I was interested in. I hit a currency node at monster level 58 and the monster pack node treasure explosion had my first Exalted of the league. Sweet! Then I hit the abandoned riches treasure chest and *boom* 2nd exalted orb drops. I was just finished taking a screenshot of the first and the other one pops. So yeah, RNG. From none to two in the blink of an eye.

I've seen people getting LITERALLY THE SAME item twice in a row when they used alternation orb on an item. Chance of that is so low I wont even bother counting it, but its still possbile

It's just RNG being RNG but playing this game for all this years i started to notice that i can already know if a map is going to drop a lot of things or nothing in the first 3 packs. It doesn't matter the map quantity nor the tier of the map.
It feels like some maps are destined to drop absolutely nothing and others are destined to drop everything that can drop.

"duplicate"

if you got an awakener orb you should be happy because that's more than the shard alch tier helm..

congrats, you kinda exposed yourself here but of a weird flex tho but okay..

They admitted to using some per-character RNG seeding during Delve league, but denied using any kind of seeding elsewhere. I'm not entirely convinced they don't have some kind of sympathy RNG (ala Diablo 3), per-area RNG seeding, or "hot zones" like a few other online games/mmos use. Most maps, even high tier with good to great IIQ+pack size, are pretty meh RNG-wise. Then occasionally you get those one or two mediocre-looking maps where it's like Christmas from start to finish.
