Another "The RNG hates me" thread

I'm constantly getting sidewinder, every type and kind of sidewinder from reserve packs. I have bulwark, siphon, concussive, all at levels III-V. While my talon sits at III and I maxed only 2 other rare guns. I'm also getting various types of mattock from uncommon drops in reserve packs instead of anticipated character cards. They should simply fix it, not lower the chance, just eliminate it all together or reduce to really negligible chance, something like 1%. And tweak random towards the unlocks, so if you have an UR character or weapon drop, it should be something that you don't have yet.

On the other hand, if I unlock everything, I would probably just completely stop playing. I now put around 4-5 hours per week, mostly leveling up those classes which I didn't play previously and I think I'll give up soon enough because it is quite dull.

Did you remember to sacrifice your goat and firstborn son to RNGesus? :3

Oh yeah, you need to do that too.

lol, they've stated publicly that it's weighted, multiple times in fact. Most, if not all, RNG stores are weighted in some way or another, if nothing else than breaking up streaks. 

Great gif, one of my favorites, but still a swing and a miss. 

I can't say the rng has been hating me... I've been lucky enough to get my hurricane, roserad, and soned siphon very early. Not sure what I did to deserve that, but I'm not gonna question it.

If you really want to split hairs, it's literally impossible for computers to generate a truly random number

My only Rare character that isn't over rank X is the Asari Huntress who is rank IX and I have yet to get the Scrapper.... Have probably purchased like 70 Expert Packs since 1.09 too.

Well, we know they weight the RNG to boost the odds specific categories roll up first - characters, then weapons, then mods within a rarity. I'd have no trouble believing they intentionally weight cards you've unlocked over cards you haven't in order to extend the unlock grind.

I don't know if it was ever confirmed but I can second that it worked that way for me as well. I started at lower packs until I maxed the 'accompanying' rarity tier, then moved to the next type of pack and so on: I always got the characters finished first, then the guns and then any mods (if any existed in the tier). It doesn't seem to work that way for URs, however...
