EU is dynamic ?

[Snabble]

well if you think they dont have some kind of , you deposit and you will appear to win some, kinda thing going on you have to be very ignorant
on the other hand, people who never deposit have won ATH and huge Hofs and never put a cent into the game, so that makes you wonder if it isnt just right place right time, nothing more

Pretty sure it´s about that.

I can understand 2 mining hofs from rebombing same spot... with amps and on CND this is not unlikely...
But 2 over 10k hunting hofs within 30mins

I think this is not dynamics, this is a bug or extrem luck.
Anyway, gratz to the guy... I went for drones about an hour before that happened, got back with a nice income after repairs so I don't complain. Still it keeps me a bit shocked.

Seems fairly normal if ur in Sweden..apparently

"Dynamic" is that such things happens from time to time to let you think it can happen for you too , but deep in yourself you know that it will never happens.
So you drag in your peds for another run , day by day , week by week.....
After that you say to yourself , that you have knowed it before.
Next day all starts again ... thats the dynamic.

I had something similar happen on argos a few months ago: two globals on scouts, with exactly the same loot, in the same general area, less than 10 minutes apart. Unfortunately for me, it was nowhere near the size of what he got.

What does it mean? Could be that they have a simpler algorithm than we all suspect for assigning loot when a mob is killed. One that is succeptible to repetition. Or, more likely, with a horde of players chasing drones for the coins lately, there is a ton of PED/decay flowing through the system and he was just one lucky dude. Like others have said, at the right place, at the right time.

Either way, it is something we all wish would happen to us. Gratz to him!

Lag !
He was supposed to get an 23k ath - but the 2nd half took 30 minutes to get there.

Duh.

I don't know "awear from beggins" but maybe he is a programmer for MA and he setup some new loot code and it was only implemented if Avatar name = "awear from beggins".

Just a thought! The odds for something like this are pretty slim to none. Maybe I should go create an avatar with the same name .....

Pretty much what I said here:

He was in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. I was not. I do not think Stormer took my money. I used my money ingame - that's all. A-Bomb got hers on CP... why? Maybe because she was grinding up there for a few months Did A-Bomb's ATH cover her expenses to get to that point? We may never know... but I would bet it did not...

the guy got two 10k+ hofs in 30 minutes

I'm not whining and i'm happy for the guy, but c'mon MA, not really balanced

Well this one for me is the third best two-HoFs in a day. Pham's double-ATH in a day has to be the number one. And the guy not so long ago who had the #1 HoF in both Hunting and Mining on the same day has second place.

This one is pretty cool too though. 30 minutes apart and exactly the same mob, that must have been quite a feeling. Wonder if he was heavy from the first or had unloaded in between.

Pretty stupid if he is. He gets $2000, probably doesn't even get it from his avatar to his bank, and loses his job.

Actually the odds are probably much higher than you'd think. Even if EU was just purely random. Its a bit deceptive. The odds of one person going out and getting two big hofs in a day is extremely low. But with many thousands of people playing every day this sort of thing happens naturally from time to time.

Its like the birthday thing. If Steve and Alice are in a classroom of 25 and discover its both their birthdays today, it seems pretty surprising. But there's a roughly 50-50 chance it'll happen at some point during the year for two of the 25. And in a big school with say 40 classes, it'll happen about 20 times every year.

We could probably work out odds of this happening by natural randomness quite easily now we have all the tracker data. Some of the loot theories I believe in would make me think we will see this happen more often than random would predict, but it'd be interesting to work the numbers. I'll chat with falkao about it sometime.
