Been a while since I posted here.. I got distracted by making mods for Civ 6 and MoO. But, a week or so I turned back on the game, and really enjoyed the 15-20 minute games, after the 16 hour marathons that a Civ 6 or MoO game encompass. And.. Got a nice, new, shiny accomplishment today. I'll give you a hint. Kerry King's shirt is a giveaway Congrats!!! Now break every urn!!!

Post by Terrell on Dec 23, 2016 3:04:22 GMT
It's about time! All right. THIS is truly ridiculous. So we've all heard some ridiculous theories/rituals/etc. about how to get Hakkons, level 27s, or other good items. None of them have been 100% reproducible...EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE Here's the backstory (that everyone who has already heard is probably sick of hearing at this point!). When I got to 1000 prestige a few months ago, it just so happened that 3yVr3 and I were duoing either a perilous or NM match with both of us using the Jade Ham mace weapon. After the match, I opened two chests and got the Bosun Blade. Awesome! I joked that the Jade Ham was the key to RNG. Haha, very funny. Or was it? About 2.5 to 3 months ago, I was at 1099 prestige. I had gotten nothing good since the Bosun Blade from the last Ham match. I played another NM match with 3y3Vr3, coldwetn0se, Lcneed, and myself with all of us using the Jade Ham. We completed it, I promoted to exactly 1100 prestige, joked on the group chat that the last time I played an all Ham match I got an awesome weapon. I opened two chests and got my second Hakkon dagger! Okay, this coincidence is weird but too funny now. 2 days ago, I was at 1199 prestige. I got nothing good since the last Ham match where I got the second Hakkon dagger. Since I've had good luck in this scenario in the past, RogueKnight, 3y3Vr3, and I completed my third Ham match in a NM round. It is worth noting that RogueKnight was actually using the Boon of the Spoon for this match. I believe 3y3Vr3 just posted a bunch of pictures of this match on another thread. Anyway, we completed the match and I also got the fourth star for the mace challenge which boosted me to 1201 prestige. I had 55k in gold to spend after this match. For some reason, based on my luck in the past, I was confident I was going to get Rime. AND I DID! Also worth mentioning I got my 4th and 5th Sulevin Blade, two more 10% HOK rings, Yavanalis, and another Longbow of the Griffon from this spending spree. I already had everything there except for Rime but those are all kind of rare. So now I finally have everything needed for the Crescent. But seriously, is this just an insane coincidence or is there something more here? The only commonalities between all three were the multiple people using the Ham and getting past a nice round prestige number in exact 100 multiples. The probability of this scenario happening naturally is unimaginably small (which of course means it is still possible but it's small.....) I mean, if it happens once: okay, that's funny. Twice: huh, that's weird. Three times: I need answers! Anyway, crescent hunting for me now. Link to original post on this matter if anyone wants to read some more of this ridiculousness: bsn.boards.net/post/71694

Anyway, crescent hunting for me now. A big like for the...hmm...marmot? Seriously I would rather believe it's more related to reaching a nice prestige number than this Ham ritual we were doing. But I had fun anyway. 20 minutes to clear NM Red Templar is not bad at all considering our only weapons are chunks of meat and kitchen utensil. Good luck with Crescent. It's not as good as Ham but still...

Let me debunk that theory... I never played with Ham, nor anyone in my team and I got all end game gear over a six months period... Salvaged over 10 low damage Cresents. So... It's a coincidence, but it is good moral booster...

It's a coincidence, but it is good moral booster... It's really not a theory . It's just an observational announcement primarily for entertainment purposes. I mean, I could announce that, "hey look everyone, I got Rime" and that would be all I post. And it would be boring. But this coincidence, which is nearly a statistical impossibility, makes the story more fun. But, just think of how much faster you could have got all that end game gear if you used the Ham. Anyway, crescent hunting for me now. A big like for the...hmm...marmot? It's a classic. 46 million views classic

I said that it's a good moral booster mechanic. Everyone has their own... Mine was to accumulate 150k gold and spent it all in one go. Every time I got something. I still do it even if I have everything. So stick with that what brings you luck EDIT: In my case can be that saying "Who doesn't have luck in love, have luck in cards" is true.

It's a coincidence, but it is good moral booster... To be fair, your six months of gameplay was probably very condensed. For the record, my lucky number was always 50k. I underlined the important word. My current problem is not knowing if I'm unlucky or just wasting gold by not having the Stone Stalker Blade.

All right. THIS is truly ridiculous. So we've all heard some ridiculous theories/rituals/etc. about how to get Hakkons, level 27s, or other good items. None of them have been 100% reproducible...EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE ... To add further data on which preposterous theories can be based, I will continue the story. The day after our Ham/Spoon match, I hit 1200 prestige (Terrell and I have been hovering at approximately the same prestige for awhile now). With the events of the previous day in mind, I thought I might as well spend all the gold I had on hand (c. 25000) buying chests, not really expecting it would provide any evidence in support of the above theory, but, hey, that gold needed to be spent sometime, right? And one way or another it would provide data. Remarkably, I ended up getting two items I have wanted, and been failing to get, for a very long time: the Bosun's Blade and the Jade Ham (there was a reason I needed to use the Spoon in the Ham match). So several hypotheses (in no particular order of probability or preference) suggest themselves to explain these results: 1) It is all just some wacky coincidence. 2) Whatever code provides random loot does in fact incorporate some sort of temporary bonus after a player hits certain prestige milestones, like multiples of 100. Note that if we assume it is just a bonus with some randomness still present this would be very hard to confirm or not, since some players would still get lucky without it, and others would still get unlucky with it. 3) There actually is some sort of bonus based on Ham use, because some Bioware coder thought that was funny. 4) There is some sort of supernatural power out there that is pleased by the observance of silly Ham rituals.

No my friends. It's not the Ham. It's 3y3vr3! I got both of my hakkon weapons and Tezpadam's Bane when Ivory was there with me. Ivory is the secret fairy of Thedas! So Minuos, I sincerely recommend you to hunt the dragons with 3y3vr3. Ivory, Ivory, please grant my wish. I want for this holiday.

Hmm...Maybe I AM the supernatural force who gains power through silly Ham rituals to boost RNG without myself realizing it? Now no joking although flattered by this idea, I think it's simply because I've played this game too much for too long that whenever my friends get some good loot, I'm often one of the people who are around. In rogueknight's words, "It is all just some wacky coincidence." And Witty it's kinda unusual that you got many high level items fairly fast yet still haven't seen Ham so far...Well you still have one day left to write to Santa before Christmas Eve...
