scarab recipe bug
|
recipe: 2 scarabs + 1 horizon = 1 scarab (different, but same rarity)
here's reproduction of the bug case 1, no bug: 1)  vendoring 30 scarab recipes 1 by 1 2)  normal result, all 15 scarabs are present case 2, a bug: 1)  vendoring 30 scarab recipies in 1 go 2)  abnormal result, only 8 stacks of different scarabs I tested it several times, case1 always result in 12-15 different scarabs, and case2 is 8 every time. I don't believe it's intentional, and effect of this bug is unpredictable and very annoying: can't properly calculate an outcome.

Not a bug.
The recipe is ONLY for ONE Horizon and 2 Scarabs for a new scarab. It's NOT 60 scarabs and 30 Horizons for 30 new scarabs. Doing anything other than what the recipe explicitly states will "break" something as the game doesn't know what the hell you are trying to do. That's why you MUST follow the recipes exactly or you're gonna have a bad time.

???
I can see you got 30 scarabs in both cases. outcome is random so I have no idea which one you want to "properly calculate" IGN: Eric_Lindros

just because you did 60 at once, does not change the recipe.
the recipe is 2 +1 == 1 new scarab it does this for each set of 2 scarabs you put in. it does not do 60+30== 30, it does 2+1 == 1 THIRTY TIMES. |

did you guys even read the report?
1st case: 30 scarabs in 15 stacks 2nd case: 30 scarabs in 8 stacks (7 other scarab bases - 0 items) and it's not a fluke, 12-15 vs 8 everytime. same input, different output - in my books it is a bug. |

How many times did you do it? Could just be rng. Hell you could turn in 30 and get 30 of the same scarab resulting in one stack even though that's extremely unlikely.
Or a few stacks of whatever scarabs stack to. I honestly dont know how many one stack gets. |

You can claim it's a bug all you want. Doesn't mean that it is one.
Once again, there is NO recipe for 30 scarabs. There is NO recipe for stacks of scarabs. The output that you are getting is irrelevant. The ONLY recipe is for 2 scarabs and one Horizon orb for ONE random scarab back.

I see you are getting 30 boxes which results in 30 scarabs, split in 8 stacks, because they are 8 different types of scarabs. Anything wrong with that?
It's the same for catalysts. Last edited by 6_din_49#4066 on Dec 10, 2021, 7:19:11 PM

He's saying the distribution is different if you do them one by one rather than a bunch all at once.
Could be better reporting skills needed. |

" still just RNG, the only guarantee is not the scarab being used in the recipe(aka 2 torment scarabs will give a scarab that isnt a torment), its theoretically possible to get all of the same scarab(say you did 120 torment, you could possible get say 60 shaper scarabs as a result) |
