|
|
Edit: Unstickying this thread since it's now old and not updated.
I've been able to compile some statistics about item drops over the last day. I'll be updating these graphs as more data comes in.
This is my favorite and by far the most useful :

Awesome! You must have like 1,000,000,000 monkeys working for you!
Is there a way that you can tell which accounts are getting certain items? Right now, the graphs aggregate the overall 'founds', and give % chances. But those chances assume that everyone has the same chance.
I'm wondering if you can break it down a bit by player id and find out if there are improbablilities at the player level. Because we've seen people with 3+ hats, and others with none. If this is just two ends of the distribution - that's understandable; but only if there aren't some odd things at the player level.
For example, I have found 97 items: No hats, and mostly sandvichs, bonk, natasha, kritz and blut. I don't know why, but I only really find the same things. If those items are more common for everyone, then fine, but the graphs you have thus far say that my findings should be trending toward uniform item %'s, and they are not. |

| At least now I know my 350 hours logged with no hats isn't that terrible. |

Not to nitpick, but some information on the sample size would be extremely helpful  |

| Considering his program has thousands logged in at any given time I'd say the sample size is reasonable enough. 1/227 to get a hat. lol Bumpy should go play the lottery. |

lol, that is pretty awesome and for the most part, pretty much the same all around, except for hats.
Thanks for sharing! |

A friend of mine, "[RGC]Flash" got that too. He has duplicates of all hats and is willing to donate all 9 to me when trading comes. I wonder if he hacked or just got lucky. |

If you're tracking it, would you mind also posting:
* Average time connected per user
* Average time to drop
* Average time to drop per item
* Average dupe rate per user |

I'm sure we all knew the hats were more rare but still, bumpy is insanely lucky, especially with statistics like those. _________________

I got a hat a few days ago and noticed something interesting about it.

from what we've seen items are typically rolls on 25 minute intervals. The hat appeared 10 minutes before the next item. this leads me to believe that the hat's aren't part of the set you roll on every 25 minutes, but a different one entirely. We'd need more information to figure out the interval though. |

Someone else posted a similiar message in the other thread. Right now, I would have to agree that they are handled differently. |
