Default Not everyone will get a list item

I've talked to several higher level players because I'm a bit ahead of the level curve and nearly all of them have convinced themselves that they will get a list item.

These people actually believe they're gurneteed a list item. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The lies we tell ourselves to give meaning to dreams.
It will be very sad when they come crashing into reality.

I look forward to the rants and flames about list items and how not everyone got what they wanted.

Someone rated this thread 1 star.

This thread is an insight on the reality of the situation.
Comes to terms with the fact of the matter.

Gonna abridge a post I read on this subject in April, which took 6th grade math to sort out.
From Bubbb:
There’s 1440 minutes a day.
That means roughly 51 assassin/PH spawns a day.
Let’s say Named spawn rate is 25% - that’s 13 Assassin spawns a day.
75% drop rate on common item? 10 Guises a day (9.6 using these numbers).

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think there’s 5 months of Guise?

10 guises a day for 5 months?
Roughly 1500 guises. Plus or minus even a few hundred puts it at just shy of 2000 TOPS, by the previous calculation.

2600 players during surge hours means there’s someone who wants it more, who will take days off work, who will put family 3rd, who will get it for their 3rd or 4th alt.

Cringey self quote cringe, but apply this to these 30 hour manastone camps.

My rough estimates sitting at the EE camp for 2 days.

Same math as above roughly 51 spawns a day - maybe 1-2 less if you factor in kill time.

lets say 50 for easy math. EE seems to spawn fairly often but not quite 50/50 feels closer to 40% lets say 20 Evil Eyes a day.

Manastone drop rate I'm going to guess is 10%. This gives us 2 a day on average... factor in variance you are left up wards of 1-2 days with no drops and up to 4 drops in a single day when lucky.

6 months x 30 days x 2 per day average = 360 stones total.

It blows my mind dude... It absolutely blows my mind.. People are that committed to an item in a game that turns your health into mana.... Think about that man.. Holy fuck.. Days spent- For an item that takes part of a red bar, and adds to the blue bar..
