Always Same Dissidents

[Jawdi]

Game seems to be favoring picking the same few people as dissidents when playing continuous games in same lobby.

I played like twenty games in the same lobby yesterday and got dissident only once, and same thing happened today. (There was 2 dissidents for all games, so should be roughly 20% chance of getting it)
I've heard the same thing from other people and I'm starting to think there's an issue with the game's function for dissident-choosing.

yup same here playing with friends. the randomization is wonky. 2 players where dissident together 3 times in a row

Came here to make a thread about this and found one already. My group has had the same issue as well. I don't think its random chance

[RobeRonin]

yep!

I think the only solution currently will be to remake lobbies every few matches or sadly deal with repetition.

Came back to this thread after a session where a friend got dissident 5x in a row. Odds of that are 1 in 3125. Similar thing has happened in previous sessions, so its not just a fluke. Plz fix this; it breaks the game completely

It's too bad, it removes the variety needed to create confusion, and can prevent players from getting to enjoy playing dissident.

Same, lobies eem to repick the same dissidents 70-80% of the time

Can confirm. Played with a full group of friends yesterday for almost 3 hours and some of them didn't even get to be dissidents even once

I played with a friend in a public lobby last night and my friend out of 8 people was a dissident 20 rounds in a row.

Hopefully devs are working on it. I see another patch came out but no patch notes discussing it.

Same my friend was a dissident 4 times in a row in one lobby

That's how true probability works. With 2 dissidents and 8 players there is a 25% chance to be dissident. There is no system to be like, this person has gotten dissident 3x in a row, now they won't get it again for a few rounds. Try flipping a coin or rolling a D4 a bunch of times and keep track of the results. See how many times you end up flipping the same side/ rolling the same number in a row.

Happens when you force start, you can “reset it” by dying on the lobby, the it should work just fine
