Thread: Wheel of Fortune: really random?

    Default Wheel of Fortune: really random?

    Has anyone actually gotten anything usefull from the wheel of fortune/amulet recently?

    The past few times for me it's been jammed packed with stuff I need/usefull stuff, like advanced teleporters, ultimate guidelines, 200,000 iron, 200,000 gold, medals. I've gotten a few of the medals, but each time it is partually packed with good stuff, I somehow get the crappiest thing on the board: anabasis, corslet, etc.

    Are the probabilities equal for all spaces on the wheel, or, like the medal drop rate, is it a complicated formula that makes winning the more valuable stuff less likely (as I am beginnign to suspect).

    All the goodies you see on the wheel are just to entice you. It isn't random, it is pre-determined to land on 20k food and speakers

    ps- corselet isn't a crappy item dude

    It's still pretty early on server 5... not to much need for defense when <1% are strong enough to attack ; )

    and that <1% is going to eat you alive with your current mindset

    This being the reason I get hate mails at least every 5 minutes in this game.

    ANY ARMY BONUS = UBER! The attacking and the defending ones, not to mention the loss prevention ones (not mall security, I think its called penicillin).

    There is no such thing as truely random when it comes to computer generated 'randomness'. Computers are incapable of generating truely random results. The best they can do is simulate randomness, with lesser or greater degrees of imperfection.

    Most software applications base their random generation of numbers on pre-built function libraries, that often use your computers real time clock as a seed for what numbers to come up with. Then the seed is used in an algorithm to spit out a number in a manner that tries to simulate randomness.

    The "Stop" button doesn't work anyway.

    And I've noticed that when I do get an amulet, the wheel will land on things I will never need or use, or on 30k or more of resources that I already have over 300k of. (Yes, and speakers, too...even though I try to ignore the chat altogether.)

    The "Stop" button is for when you are trying to spin the wheel with more than 1 amulets. If you input 10 amulets, the wheel will spin 10 times, or untill you press stop.

    The stop button works as designed... you just have not figured out what it should be doing. what the stop button dose is when I go and select my amulets in my innovatory and tell it to yes 12 of them what will happen is the wheel will spin through all 12. The stop button is for like when it spins the wheel and it lands on the 100 coins (I have got this on server 1 and 6 so you can get it) you can go well I guess I don't want to use the other ones right now and click stop. This will stop the wheel from going through all 12 of the pre selected amulets.
