Anyone ever meet their LS in person?
I'm really good friends with a LS mate I've know since 2008ish. He even moved into my neighborhood and we hang out often.

Asura.Vyre said: » So it's even just super sketchy when you see people with R20 earrings. That's like 230k units and 21 matters spent (an intial matter is required to make the accessories). I think there must have been an exploit, since I have seen people with R20 earrings. And that would mean they've only missed getting 9 total matters... It'd be one thing if they were just some joe blow too, but when they're also armed to the teeth with R30 and Stage 5s, it seems suspicious. What's more likely, the guy who has it all is also insanely lucky, or the guy who has it all is using whatever means necessary to be as high on the totem pole as possible? Not to say it couldn't happen but they could have just been saving units since for many the DPS increases(which is like 95% of what people are upgrading these for) on +4's was pretty minimal, more pushing eva/meva but lack the DT that newer gear has so just not much to spend units on until now Will quickly get capped on units doing 5 runs a week if you don't upgrade +4s.
Enough matters dropping is theoretically possible - 7 weeks (6 + current) * 5 chests a week is 35 chests. You'd need a 57% drop rate to get 20 matters in 35 chests, not including the first guaranteed one. Average is roughly 33%. Suspicious but not impossible for the most grindy of grinders.

Dodik said: » Average is roughly 33%. Do we have any sufficiently large and high quality data for that, especially on a bigger server like Asura? If it's 33%, the probability someone got 20 out of 35 chests is around 0.28% (a little over 1/400). Seems pretty unlikely multiple people got R20 pieces in 35 runs, since I doubt there are hundreds of people maxing out. OTOH, if it's even 40%, that jumps to a solid 3% and it would be more surprising if nobody had. Ls friend and his 3 chars are 20/39 on Matter in total on all his Temenos run, R15, R13 and R9.
And 11/21 in Apollyon. Small sample but it suggests 50%. Im not sure of my % since I dont keep track, but im Rank 7, 6 & 5 in it seems 12 runs(after checking my logs)?

This is aggregated across all servers and from the start of matter drops, all NM kills from none to all of them etc. From user reports. 101/276=36.5% I stopped aggregating them after this. Last counted at 2025-09-29. Including one guy that said he went 9/9 and 4/5 that I don't quite believe. Asura.Wotasu said: » Small sample You're right, it's too small. 132/336=39% with the above. Dodik said: » aggregated across all servers Dodik said: » 132/336=39% with the above. The problem is when you aggregate you're neglecting the impact of NMs killed. It's pretty clear that if all server average is 39%, Asura/Bahamut average is greater than 39% by virtue of being effected by NMs. Without separating the data, it's a lot harder to know the impact of NM kills. Well yeah, though separating the data has to be done by people on that server.
Phoenix reported 44/44 NM kills a while back and a grand total of two people reported their numbers on Phoenix in that time. Where's your data bro. |
