    It's definitely skewed towards spirit, which doesn't surprise me since Zombie is so much better.
    #CloneHelmets4Life...VICTORY!!!! :smiley: "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." The more you tighten your grip, CG/EA, the more whales will slip through your fingers (and go F2P or quit).

    All I got both last time and this time was Zombie. RNG...
  • Options
    I got 15 zombie shards today and 14 last time. I guess CG just likes me more
  • Options
    Would it be asking too much to be able to choose our shards in events like this? Or am I expecting too much to have the devs actually like their player base?? I'm confident the frequency of the event would prevent disruption in other parts of the game.

    8 zombie, 7 spirit today.

    And if you want a toon that can crit the crate on the last level, FOSFTP can crit with his special.

    Or definitely not, which doesn't surprise me since maybe not.

    No I just enjoy these threads the most. Hence my honest "awesome" reaction.

    I don't know, I think mine are the "X is missing from Y store" threads.

    "Zombie Gear Issue" was awesome for about 2 weeks there.

    I hadn't touched my zombie much since I first unlocked it. So she's sitting at G4 and staying there forever thanks to that thread. Suckers...

    Well spirit definitely does have a higher chance of dropping

    We look forward to you presenting statistically relevant data.

    His statistics are that his spirit is further along than his zombie. One persons situation must equal universal truth.

    But my Zombie is further along than my spirit. So apparently, the game only hates some of you. :D

    Oh, and just because this is apparently necessary for me to mention this qualifier...no, I am not related to any of the developers or moderators.

    Same. Almost 5* on zombie from this but just hit 30/30 on Spirit.

    I actually got halfsies today. 8 Zombie and 8 Spirit. Here's hoping that luck stays the same or improves for the second day's drops. xD

    Of course it's most likely to drop spirit, zombie is more useful and fundamental. They are supposed to force you to spend one way or another.

    You will never convince me the RNG isn’t intentionally designed to be “streaky” in this game. It’s why I have 1200 furnaces but can’t get a scanner or droid caller. My last 8 attempts at least have given me spirit. Drop rates are probably 50% across the app, but I bet the distribution isn’t what you’d expect with true randomness, with more people getting heavy drops of one or the other than would be expected.

    I rescind my initial opinion and comments. After getting NS zombie 4 times this time around I don't know what to think haha

    Think "the people who told me it's RNG were right."

    RNG and weighted odds are not mutually exclusive.

    You got 8 zombie and 7 spirit? Clearly CG wants you to have zombie because spirit is more useful.

    And what statistical analysis do you have to indicate poor participation?

    Actual footage of developers reading these threads about things that are actually RNG but we argue anyway:
