Wheel of fortune

[Eppiox]

Is the wheel biased? I've mapped the last 5 times I've used it because it was really unlucky, and the results are...
Death, bad items, bad items, bad items, death.
(Those are the two bad items)
Have I just been unlucky/is my wheel cursed? Or is it slightly rigged ;)

On my side, I've got Monney, a few items, Death twice and one bad item.
And I think I got nothing once. So I guess it's just REALY bad luck. :B
Though I say, if the run looks bad, go for it. if you're having a decent amount of audience, Just leave it alone. Not worth the risk :B

My las few times were: death, death, bad item (pixelated @$#@), bad item (no jumps @$#@), nothing, $3000, good item.

Those @$#@ = i died in next room cus of it xD

I find that death being on the wheel basicly invalidates all potential of daring to spin it, i mean you have 1 bad item, 2 bad items, 1 good item, 2 good items, 1500 cash, 3000 cash, nothing, and death.

Thats 5 spots that at the very least dont negatively effect you, 2 that can potentially ruin the entire run if its severed leg, and the last one just outright ends the run anyway.

The only way i could even CONSIDER it is if nothing was replaced with Legendary Item, THEN we have an arguement of risk vs reward, cause otherwise? money is largely the same as nothing, you usually have enough to buy the most important things with more then enough to buy afew not so important things, good items are great and all, but considering how many items i get every run that are largely useless, they dont really appeal.

Any negative item roll means i could potentially get severed leg, which automatically means ♥♥♥♥ no, its the ONLY negative item that actually can end a run all on its own, all other negative items cant do it single handedly, all other bad items have to add up to become a force that can kill you outright.

And ofcourse we have death on the wheel...



Basically how its designed is "oh first two-three floors eh? i can get back here in no time so i might as well spin it, its not really gonna set me back much anyway!" so you have little reason not to spin it unless you got some insanely lucky combo of items before encountering it, like an early mollycoddle or getting bonus pistol damage or something along the lines of "this item is so good that i can no longer even consider risking any RNG death mechanics anymore"

Floor 4 and above and basically you would never even consider it, even with some bad luck by this point you usually have a combo of items and weapons that makes a play style start to get spotlighted, what they are is the mystery, but after about 10-20 good items by this point you are basically too powered up to risk the run anymore, unless you are in a very ♥♥♥♥♥ situation you woudlent consider it anymore.

So in short, the only people who are actually going to use this are people who are going to lose anyway, or people who found it very early into the run, few would ever consider it if their positon isnt atleast "downright screwed" so to speak.

I have to agree with the general cencus it seem like this wheel is heavely rigged towards being more risk then reward every time i spun it i've either gotten nothing or death nothing every truely useful

Wondering sometimes. I got a majority of death and bad items. Two times 3000 though.
