The screen caps were from Gianthold and Subversion. I was in battle and wanted to get real fight data. Anytime I saw miss floaties I screen capped them. They weren't back to back but pretty close. So yes, without video you would have to take me at my word. The dummy sample was taken pretty much back to back. The appearance of the duplicate screen shots was to show the contiguous numbers. But even after I have done all this and if I was to take video, if what I have shown doesn't even remotely elicit a "WTF is that pair of 1's showing consistently and no pairs of 20's?" reaction, any more of my claims will be considered spurious and met with the same remonstrance as some of my other posts.

When I asked my friends to give me the samples it was for me and me only. When I spoke to Varg and Steel it was on IRC and MoBo PM's before I was banned. When I showed them my 'evidence' they agreed the combat log was technically unreliable but would serve as a control. So am I what's wrong or the game mechanics, which is it? They wanted my info so they could clone my toon and test it out but as it appears I'm the only one having this issue, it would be another blue moon til they even think about doing anything. This really solidified my views on the current Turbine workforce to be so far out of touch with the actual game we have played for nearly a decade, I would be foolish to pursue any resolution further.

So this wasn't actually posted anywhere at all except in pm's to you. Good to know before I bothered looking through the list of dev fails on the mobo.


Novalis wrote on Jan 14^th, 2016 at 4:19pm:


Regardless of my own opinion of the devs, you're upset that they didn't want to drop the entire mountain of backlogged shit they have to do so they can focus on your hunch that your character might be statistically disadvantaged?

Yeah, I'm gonna leave that as it stands, I think.

Novalis, I mean no disrespect. When I began this thread I actually had no idea you were a vaulty(I respect vaulties, except for KNN and related socks).

I guess what everyone has trouble with is the notion that you have some kind of bizarly specific bug that "makes you roll too many 1s". It's difficulty to contemplate how a big like that would even exist, the random number generator would have to somehow not be random, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Thank you and no worries. To be fair and honest I came over to the vault after my all but inevitable ban from the MoBo's over more than likely petitioning for a replacement for Cordovan and assisting someone in leaving the game after getting a refund. But I like it here, like a punk dive bar I never knew about. 

But I will concur, the things I have stated are way out in scope. But it starts with little things, like when I tried to point out  other issues. When this dice bug became highly flagrant about 4 months ago, it was well after I was trying to make sense of other rogue issues, such as why do I drop like a rock in mid air anchored to the ground and miss 7 out of 10 hits when I use shrouding strike? Or why can I not drop into sneak when popping consume from Shadowdancer ED when the description clearly states I'm free to do other actions? I will concede alot of it comes from my perspective as a player but there are other things I can easily reach out and see if anyone else is having the same issues. In the thread I linked you will see Dameron SC his double 1's on the last page.

Now while this is far from a reason for canonization, it let me know I'm wasn't the only one seeing this. What I really wanted was a dev to just take 5 minutes and watch me live with whatever rig they got and see where I'm coming up with all these 1's. I would have even been happy if they said I was hitting so much so fast that I exponentially increased my roll rate. So long as it was explained to me in a straight way I would have been fine and accepted it. But I cannot ignore all the 1's I've rolled with the blatant lack of 20's with no balance or explanation whatsoever.

It's been 2 updates and however many patches and some etr's since then. Once I'm done building another current toon I'll go back and see what might have changed and how many previously persisting problems have remained. I do know my to-hit bonus needs work with the new higher lv stuff. I'm missing on rolls of 9. Time for me to get some random gen accuracy loot.

Totally and utterly relaxed over here. I prefer to not make or take things personally as that seems to be the main weapon of the forum fanboi face fuckers. I chose to keep it about specific issues to avoid strawman arguments leading down into shit creek. It was actually the other post referencing my MoBo thread then the retort I deserved to roll 1's that prompted the response. Kinda like picking on the old bearded guy at a bar and when he stands up he's 6 ft 5 and wearing a Hell's Angels vest. But nonetheless this is still pretty funny.

Novalis wrote on Jan 14^th, 2016 at 7:19pm:



Let me see if I have this right, feel free to correct me if I have it wrong, but are you actually referring to yourself as the forum equivalent of the 6 ft 5 hell's angle in this story?

Novalis wrote on Jan 15^th, 2016 at 2:25am:



Dammit! a calm well reasoned response framed in a conciliatory manner.... shit. I was really hoping for another loser who was the legend in his own mind type. I do so love to hassle those types. But you sir are made of better stuff.

Tip O'the hat to you.

Oh, he's a loser who is a legend in his own mind.  You just have to remember that last month he was linking his creative writing posts and Noob PSA's from the mobo in every thread possible. 

That doesn't mean that he hasn't stumbled on a valid issue here.  There jsut isn't enough data yet to make a case one way or another.  Unfortunately, to prove the case, you would need to do much more extensive testing and logging.  Not sure Novalis, or anybody, is willing to do the research necessary.  And without it, any claims can be dismissed as anecdotal.

who is Geoff Hannah?

I see a lot of bitching and few attempts at figuring it out. Have you tried taking all your gear off, zeroing out your enhancements, stepping into an empty destiny and trying the dummy again?

Oh this one is easy to answer.

In the face of incontrertible evidence, they acknowledge there is a problem... but they can't two fucks about fixing it, so it's good enough.
This would appear to be the consistent Turbine ethos I am seeing as I read through the Vault and seeng the unedited (if not slightly darker and colorful) history of DDO.
