ACorpse Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I got confirmation from a DE staff member that it is, indeed, bugged, and that a fix will come in an upcoming hotfix. Until then, you can stop breeding I'd really love a verified post about this. And also some information on compensation for all those flushed kubrows. Seriously, I've created my own frozen kubrow asteroid field in orbit around Earth. I've wasted countless hours farming, countless piles of 25k credits jettisoning, countless stacks of 100k credits on power cores, and will need hair replacement therapy.

DraccoDoom Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) hate to say this, but I heard that they kinda suck They do, I got mine on 3rd try (lucky me) and a Lotus variant too, the problem is they are S#&$ retrievers they are the worst type from all Kubrow kinds. So mine is just frozen and that's it. It either new AI or give him a vacuum, the way they are now they are horrible.

peekitea Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Good luck OP. Thanks for this thread and your painful dedication. I'm pretty sure that DE made the drops like that so they could cash one some monies though. Sure, it's a F2P game, but do you honestly think Warframe would be hurting as a game if the RNG was cut a bit less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vomder Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The Chesa Drops are confirmed to be Bugged, post up on Reddit. Oh really, now where and when have we heard that before in regards to drops? That's right the void tables and the reason drop tables are now encrypted, so players can't hold de accountable. I'm surprised they've actually admitted to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekthejester Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Hi, i just want to say that your math are false. But here is the explanation : You have done 71 try so far so what you want is to get a Chesa from one try or another. This correspond to P(A u B) {read probability of A or B}. P(A u B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A n B) {Read probability of A and B}. In you case, A and B are "getting a Chesa at the Nth try". A and B are independant so P(A n B) = P(A) x P(B). This lead us to P(A u B) = P(A) + P(B) - [P(A) x P(B)]. Now the numerical application : Let's call P(Cn) the probability of getting a Chesa at the nth try. And let's suppose that the probability of getting a Chesa on an incubation is 20%. P(Chesa) = P(C1 u C2 u C3 u .... C71) = 0,2 + 0,2 + .... 0,2 - (0,2 x 0,2 x ...) = (71 x 0,2) - 0,2^71 ~ 14,2 % Sorry if this is complicated, i just love math ^^. EDIT : All of this is false, don't mind reading it. >.> Edited October 20, 2015 by Marekthejester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(probabiltity is not my strongest side, and if i am wrong i would like to learn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirukaChan Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I don't mind things that are cosmetic being random as far as Kubrows go, but we should be able to pick the damn breed. We get to pick what Sentinel we want to craft based on the blueprint we buy, so why can't Kubrows be like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[DE]Grzegorz Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 There's a chance that anyone with 5+ incubations would get some Kubrow related stuff (stabilizers, egg and a battery, maybe a bunch of credits) but I wouldn't really hope for anything more.

He's doing the math right. You apparently think that the general form of the inclusion-exclusion principal is the same for any number of sets as it is for two, which is not how it works. You appear to have an introductory understanding of probability since you were unable recognize that the way he's setting it up is correct and the easiest way to find the solution.

They are very unlikely to admit it publicly here due to the way it was discovered was via datamining. Them admitting it was a bug would be equivalent of saying that they were wrong to ban datamining. They will likely silently patch it and unless there is a massive S#&$storm over it no response will occur.

They will likely silently patch it and unless there is a massive S#&$storm over it no response will occur. We didn't really need to datamine anything to see that something was wrong, he's done it 71 times, if the chances were fair, then he's got a 20% chance of a Chesa each time. The chance of him doing it 71 times and not getting a single Chesa is 00.00001%. At that point you can be pretty sure that there's something wrong. Along with all the reports of myriads of other players never getting a Chesa as well, it's safe to say that DE should have been able to tell that something was wrong from that alone. Knowing this it's most likely that the drop table for those with the upgrade doesn't include the Chesa at all. And I'm sure DE has looked into it and found that to be the case. We'll probably get an alert with a kubrow egg as an apology, when instead I'd like them to have a little diligence and test things before they release them all full of bugs and not even working at all. This is supposed to be our "year of quality", I'm sure they don't regret saying that at all... Edited October 20, 2015 by Ampoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person discovered there were two chance tables for kubrows that is what the problem the datamining discovered. One of those tables is the old one without the chesa in it. Without proper evidence that there really is a bug DE can wave it off as merely rng. Edited October 20, 2015 by Deadoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really can't wave it off as RNG though, at that point either something is seriously wrong with the rng code or there's something wrong with the drop table.

ACorpse Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Some statistician tell me what the odds are of two people out of, say, 10,000 both not getting a 20% drop chance in 70 attempts. Then 5 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampoth Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Some statistician tell me what the odds are of two people out of, say, 10,000 both not getting a 20% drop chance in 70 attempts. Then 5 people. I am a statistician and I'm telling you that seeing seventy runs and not getting it is near damning evidence that something is horribly wrong. Your argument is sound, yes, this is something that can happen, and it is indeed guaranteed to eventually happen to someone eventually, but supposing that the pseudo-random number generator is equidistributed this is not something we really want to see. And the fact that there a many people reporting that they've bred many kubrows and still haven't gotten a chesa is even more evidence on top. At that point I would conclude that they were either using a really S#&$ty linear congruent generator that should have been replaced long ago, or that something is wrong with the drop table. In a game like this I'm not sure you'd even want the generator to be a really good approximation of true randomness, because that's how you'd get rare cases like +70 tries without the sought after reward. What they really want is something with just the right amount of forced equidistribution so that players don't ever experience this type of true unluckiness.
