Broken RNG

[Idi Amin]

I am not here to listen to fanboys, the RNG is stastically broken.
The Enemies 90% of the time have perfect hit rolls where the players have 40-60% chance to hit.
Even perfect hits miss.
I am playing right now any nay sayers want to argue diffrently are free to observe me playing the endless dungeon version.

I don't care about tough enemies what I care about is uncreative BS that means the RNG is constantly against you.

RNG is fairly unforgiving, almost brutal, but certainly not broken.

RNG is not RNG, computers cannot simulate true randomess, I've posted this in another thread.
Las Vegas has put Billions towards RNG engines for their games, and in the early 00s several developers who worked on that RNG engine realized a 2% chance for a certain hand based on the engine.
This allowed them to make millions before being caught and expelled from casinos.

I know exactly what RNG means, RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR, it does not mean that they are all made equally are all made fairly.

This is why I am considered a troll, I know more then you, I understand terms better then your peers, and I know exactly what I'm talking about but your blinded by your association with you own self worth with the goods you buy.
I don't blame you, you're just the product of a consumerist culture.

Is it? i bought the game today, played once(like really, it was my first time) and completed the ice area campaign, got the monk and the hobo and beat the last boss with constant perfect rolls for the interupt skills(seriously i had over 5 perfect interupt roles in a row). RNG is RANDOM, so it's not unfair RNG, you're just unlucky mate

I came here for advices, I guess I'll have to see elsewhere as "expert non-troll players" are more into insulting others than helping. Good job guys, you're great, but next time just try not to leave ♥♥♥♥ all over the place and people won't see immediately you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Toward @Run Now's beautiful you're-a-baby rant : "You aren't saying the game is hard, you're saying its broken. You're making a public scene that just makes you look like a baby who didn't get what it wanted so it starts screaming in the store."

This is incredible, I can't believe people could be THAT unhelpful and that insultingnat the same time, while being condescending.

Yeah, good luck with the people who have posted in this thread reading your comment. Since the last post was from 2018 ....

Also, dunno why you came to this thread for help - with what? - since the OP just was a rant about the game.
If you need advice for anything, why don't you look for relevant threads or post your question if you can't find one?

Anything else than insults including :

- Advices on how to tackle RNG
- Information about the RNG itself
- Pretty much any informations about those tags to be honest

What I ended up with is a bunch of people insulting each other being top result on Google search, and another guy asking why I search help in a help forum, rather than actually giving out information. That's equally helpful as telling people to Google search, or linking to a completely unrelated topic as they usually do when you create a thread..

This RNG isn't XCOM 2 RNG. Git gud.

RNG is basically just fair, basically in the form of standard dice rolls. I know during the beta there was some discussion of using a system that would balance the probability such that the actual distribution of events would be more in line with the theoretical distribution, though I'm not sure if that was ever implemented.

I think in general you tackle the RNG by using the various bad-luck mitigation mechanics in the game, but there will always be some randomness to contend with if you get a spate of bad luck.

I've beaten every campaign on journeyman difficulty so far. trying on harder difficulties, the basics still apply. Keep focus for an attack that you can't afford to miss; prioritize a main and secondary stat for each character so your rolls are better. Encourage and distraction are also good skills to have.

I was having trouble with the RNG working against me then found there was a haunt on the board which said "While haunt is active dice rolls are compromised" or something like that. I took it out and my rolls got much better.

Well Ryan, as someone pointed out this is one of the top search results when people look up broken rng, so that means many people have clicked and searched on this thread then others.
That's how SEO works, so I would argue there are many many more people who agree with me then you.

Git gud, at life Ryan, get out of the basement your parents haven't seen you for weeks, they want to come down to check on you, but last time they did, they found you doing some really weird stuff with a body pillow.

Idi Amin still out here trollin. He's gotten bigger.

" Do not enter this game expecting to win on your first try "

Or your second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eight or ninth try either LOL.

This game is like a casino, it's a lot of fun but you go in expecting to lose because you know the odds are stacked against you. I've been in battles where I laughed my ass off at how heavily stacked the game is against the player. I'm still enjoying it though.

Oh well, time for run number ten. Let's see how this one goes. Happy gaming!

If I had developed the game, I would have titled it ALT F Four the Reload King because every fight will have you doing an ALT F4 and a reload in hopes that you have a chance to win a fight.

Don't know about difficulty man. On apprentice you can press random at the character selection screen and regardless what you get, you can win the game 100% of the time. You get so many resources, it's practically impossible to lose if you know just a little bit what you are doing. RNG is largely irrelevant, you can control it with the resources you acquire.

Journeyman I think it's possible as well to win any game with any group 100% of the time so long as you play optimally. Even on master it should be possible, but the early game specifically would be very hard if you don't handpick your team with specific roles and a game plan in mind, but that's fair for the highest difficulty mode.

Like most RNG games out there, it's all skill and knowledge based. Battle brothers, Xcom, Darkest Dungeon, to name a few, have more difficult RNG than this game to manage, but all of them can be beaten as well just fine on the hardest difficulties available. Sometimes you get unlucky, but seldom is it bad luck that kills you.
