Stacked Deck Clarification
|
1/1 gambler cards sounds like a terrible currency...

If stacked deck is a currency, why didn't we get a slot for it in currency tab?

So you got cheated out of 1000$ at this point? Not sure how I'd feel about that.

I'd love to know what the original brief was that ended up with essentially gamblerception.
I never like to say negative things about someone else's creation; it's your money and maybe that's what you wanted out of it, but this seems incredibly underwhelming. Is it anywhere near fulfilling what you wanted out of it? Last edited by Pathological on Jul 20, 2016, 6:20:28 AM

Here is what I understand, please tell me if I'm wrong :
What Noshei thought his currency would be : An item that, when consumed, acts as if someone was showing you a cards deck with one of each existing divination card and tells you to randomly pick one. So that you have exactly the same chance to get "The Scholar" than to get "House of Mirrors". What GGG finally made : An item you can exclusively get by trading 9 divination cards to Tasuni. When you use that item, you get a card determined exactly by the same algorithm as "The Gambler". So, 1 "Stacked Deck" = 5 "The Gambler" And, 1 "Lucky Deck" more or less = 1/2 "The Gambler" = basically nothing How GGG will modify it (because, honestly, what they did is crap) : An item that you can drop anywhere and still get with 9 div cards. When you use it, you get a card determined by a brand new algorothm, more favourable for the player than "The Gambler" one. But, because we know (and will ever know) nothing about this algorithm, we can't (and never be able to) determine the value of a "Stacked Deck". Am I right ? | |
" I'll try to explain it better So some items have a reaaaeaally low drop chance A normal weighted drop chance would mean that the stacked deck would always give you garbage, basically a good amount of uses would give you a very garbage range of items youd would pull. What he's saying is now the drop chances of the extremely rare items will be exponentially increased giving you a better range of what items you're likely to pull, so perhaps cards that are valued at nothing to 5-10 chaos. As opposed to the gambler which averages fractions of a chaos. So the average value of using the stacked deck will be higher than turning in a gambler deck.. But doesn't sound extremely valuable. Probably going to be worth 2 chaos. IGN:Layent PST(GMT -7:00) Last edited by Layent on Jul 20, 2016, 6:51:16 AM

" Yes, except for this : " 1 "Lucky Deck" card is 10/9 Stacked decks, so 50/9 Gambler cards, so ~5.5 Gamblers 1 "Lucky Deck" set is 50 Gamblers Last edited by Bebekija on Jul 20, 2016, 6:51:36 AM

" i learned today (from reddit of course) that internally every div card is a currency item. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

" I really feel sorry for you. In the last years everytime someone wants to create a unique there is some "miscommunication" happen and the outcome is another vendor trash item. The only exception were the Skyforth boots and I still wonder why Skyforth was allowed to create one of the most broken items in game while everyone else has gotten pure trash.
