So i just killed Beira of the Rotten 30 Times on

[dynatierchen]

cruel mode

did count the kills, not including first kill on her

she dropped exactly 3 blues basically every single time with very rare exceptions of dropping 1 rare , never two

dropped 1 regal shard and 1 regal orb and overall 4 rares

on her very first death she dropped several rares and in total about 7 or 8 items i think

makes me feel boss drops are not random at all
esp the fact that those 3 blue drops occured sooo regulary with almost pin point accuracy

ofc 30 runs isnt really representive. still it is telling enough for me so i dont see it worth farming her

Omg I observed the same thing but I didn't knew if it was RNG or observation biase.

I farmed some boss like you 20 times or a bit more, and its always the same pattern :

-First 2 or 3 kills, there i one or two rare along blues
-All kills after : barely no rare

It's like there is a mechanic to prevent you farming boss to get insane loot.

The problem with that, is even 1000 boss kill would not give us the answer because RNG is RNG, so it's totally possible in theory to never get any rare in 1000 kills, or get one unique at every kill.

We would need a very big sample size with many different players to as repeats for the experiment. Like 1000 players killing 100 times the same boss, at the same character level and same classe with same stuff. Then we could make a statistic analysis and we could approach the reality of what happening there.

But, empirically, I saw the same thing as you

ye i get what u are sayin

altho its true what u say. in theory u could run 10.000 kills and never get a rare
just like you could throw a dice 100 times and never see a 6
but its just incredibly rare

my sample size is super small yes, but the result is incredibly unequivocal

roughly u can say she dropped exactly 3 blues with 90% accuracy

thats too unequivocal to be RNG

she didnt drop 2 blues a single time. let that sink in
she also didnt drop 4 blues a single time

what can i say

[Pipakrax]

Yeah but you know, criticizing anything about POE2 is heresy, so if we don't have solid statistic, what we say will be considered irrelevant.

But like you, I think it's not really RNG and it give me this bad and weird feeling of artificial loot nerfing.

if you think diablo 2 is the gold standard you are a little delusional.
