The past two days i noticed a few weird drop rates with kadala:
yesterday night y spend 250 shards and get, 2 inna's pants, 1 hammer jammer, 1 heart of the crashing wave (monk set chest), 2 tyrael might , 1 cindercoat, 1 cuirass and Goldskin, all in about 1 hour.
On the other hand with my WD i spend 1000+ shards and didn't a single legendary, not even a bad one.
Someone have the same weird drop rates with kadala?
3 set items and 6 legendaries? I got 2 set items for the last 40k blood shards I gambled. No exaggeration here. You're damn lucky. For that many legs I usually spend a couple of thousands shards.
1000+ shards and no legs is not unusual at all. Kadala hates me, I've gone through 2k shards with no legs once.
Holy crap. There's no nice way to say that, so I'll be very upfront... that thread is a huge pile of bullshit. Computers aren't truly random, but the "pseudo randomness" is only of relevance for large amounts of data (and no, looting 1000 legendaries is not a large amount of data).
Even if you play 10000 hours - what you experience will be true randomness. Here's a link to a thread that actually makes sense:
Please for the love of Diablo stop pretending that the "computers aren't truly random" lesson any programmer learns in his first semester has anything to do with Diablo un-randomness. It just makes it obvious that someone read up about "pseudo randomness" without understanding it.
Okay, this is going to be a multi-purpose thread to reduce clutter on the forums. Here you can do the following:
Complain about the game not dropping item X
Insane luck because you got 3 Shard of Hates in a row
Ask if Kadala drops item Y
Show off your insanely well rolled Thunderfury
Discuss whether or not the drop rate was stealth nerfed
Point out that the Mystic refuses to give you a socket on your weapon despite you asking her politely
State the obvious fact that Onyxia Deep Breaths more often since last patch
And all similar issues that come down to a simple thing: RNG.
I was going to add this to the FAQ, but since those threads pop up daily, it deserves its own thread. Here's a breakdown of information about current drop rates:
The drop rates have not been altered since the last patch 2.0.5.
Kadala might give you everything except for Bottomless potions, follower items, and cache-only legendaries.
Kadala might give you nothing ever.
There's always someone who gets every desired enchant on the first roll; to even out for this, you are the victim who will not get the desired enchant even after 100 re-rolls.
If you play for 500 hours and find 2000 legendaries, you will not get an average distribution of all the legendaries in the game; instead, you will see lucky streaks (for example, 3 Wand of Wohs in a row - feel free to post this here than so that I can hate you) or unlucky streaks (for example, never get a Wand of Woh - feel free to post this here so you can join my despair).
Important: If you see a thread that is an "RNG thread", post a link to THIS thread and leave. Do not engage in discussions. New threads that purely discuss RNG, even about a specific item or in a subforum (classes) will be locked. One thread is enough. Thanks.
Make it work. Heavy moderation. Kind of works here as well, there just needs to be one mod quick enough
Well and it helps that DFans members are super smart and redirect people to this thread because they know what's gonna happen <3

You. It's you. You are the reason everyone is getting bad drops. You're taking up all the good ones!
Edit: Thanks for the Akkhan set. If we can ever dye it with sponsor labels I think my crusader needs a big "sponsored by Ot4ku" sign all over.
