What's the upside? Certainly it would burn folks out on the primary daily faster. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/crocolisks-in-the-city-achievement#post-6371 Thu, 28 May 2009 07:42:02 +0000 Arutha 6371@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I think what the GM was trying to say is that every of the 5 daily quests has a different chance to "spawn".<br /> Lets assume that:<br /> 'The One That Got Away' has 28% ...<br /> 'Shrimpin' Ain't Easy' has 25% ...<br /> 'Crocolisks in the City' has 12% ...<br /> 'Bait Bandits' has 17% ...<br /> 'Felblood Fillet' has 18% ...</p> <p>... Chance to be chosen.</p> <p>So you could do /random 100 and say:"'Well if its a number from 1 to 28 it's 'The One That Got Away', from 29 - 53 it's 'Shrimpin' Ain't Easy, from 54 to 65....." and so on.</p> <p>So you can't really compare a LaPlace experiment like flipping a coin, with an equal chance for all events, with a 'Bernoulli-chain' (don't know the correct English term, in German it would be 'Bernoulli-Kette'), where you have different chances for each event, but doing the event n-times.</p> <p>Hope you understand my English and what I meant. ;) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/crocolisks-in-the-city-achievement#post-6331 Sun, 24 May 2009 06:44:48 +0000 Fontaine 6331@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>The old statistics saying "Random does not mean distributed" is in full effect with daily quests. </p> <p>Remember you can flip a coin once a day for a month and only see heads 5 times... doesn't mean anything. Make it 5 possibilities instead of just 2 and you can get much crazier results.</p> <p>Anglers should know better than to be tricked by pseudo-patterns... I suspect that GM was just confused. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/crocolisks-in-the-city-achievement#post-6329 Sun, 24 May 2009 02:50:07 +0000 Pyrephoenix 6329@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I once talked to a GM about this, regarding the cooking quests (since I was seeing Infused Mushroom Meatloaf upwards of 60% of the time). His comment was "while the quest is chosen at random, the randomness is not necessarily given an equal chance for all available choices." I also asked if this applied to other randomized dailies and was told it does.</p> <p>Unfortunately I lost my screenshot of the conversation in a computer meltdown :( otherwise I'd happily crop and share. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/crocolisks-in-the-city-achievement#post-6327 Sat, 23 May 2009 17:23:35 +0000 Kamaria 6327@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I generally only see it once or twice every three weeks. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/crocolisks-in-the-city-achievement#post-6306 Thu, 21 May 2009 16:42:33 +0000 donquixote235 6306@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Random events are random.</p> <p>:) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/crocolisks-in-the-city-achievement#post-6304 Thu, 21 May 2009 15:42:20 +0000 crono999 6304@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Ok....This is totally wierd but after months of this quest not popping for me, it finally was available today, so I've completed it.</p> <p>It's a conspiracy man XD </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/crocolisks-in-the-city-achievement#post-6293 Wed, 20 May 2009 20:42:04 +0000 texasbelliott 6293@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Same thing happened to me with the "Jewel of the Sewers" daily. I'd been doing the new fishing dailies religiously, and never saw that quest until 3.1.xxxxxxx &lt;-------- (insert game tuning number) hit about a week ago, and now I've complete Jewel 3 times.</p> <p>The official line is, "It's completely random". I don't really buy it though. ;-) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/crocolisks-in-the-city-achievement#post-6292 Wed, 20 May 2009 19:41:39 +0000 crono999 6292@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've been at this for about a month now! For some reason, this quest isn't showing up at all from ol' man barlo.... Am I missing something here? I've completed all of the quests except for this one. </p>
