I`m afraid the thread starter might be right and there`s a big noob luck bonus involved. I could give many examples. Noob avi kills a mob, first global is big hof. Statistically the chances for some noob players to hit such big hofs are close to zero vs hardcore players with hundreds of globals but not even 1 k hof. In the last 2 years, I `ve never managed to get hof in 2 -3years over 1k in solo hunting, and we months where I hunted really hardcore with lots of globals. I was among top 10 few months back even when camping on formiaciada. Overall went very bad. Ofc you start to wonder when you see a 2weeks noob soc mate that hits 10k argo hof on his first round of breer m1 hunting on argos.
However beside the noob thing, i`ve noticed an inactivity luck bonus. Players that take few months break, start getting wild for 1-2days and bang fat ass hof 25k. Happened like that in our soc, 2 big atrox hof for this inactivity scenario.
Other people like Pham noticed same pattern. He actually was saying that no matter what he does, he can`t get a hof anymore. He said after he started playing with noob avi, loot started to be way better.
Ofc I think old players can ath and hof, just it`s way harder for them as luck modifiers are applied to others. Business wise would make sense to have such a system in place. Would help the new players get addicted and the inactive ones to get back to the game. Few of you who played RPGs like Diablo2, probably remember that certain items gave luck bonuses, chance to find more rare items `n stuff like that. In other words, a system meant to work with luck modifiers such as these would be very easy to set up.
P.S: Poll needs another option. I don`t care if people make accounts to get luck modifier. If such modifiers exist we should know about them at least or MA have them removed.
Fail
I knew i recognized your name. 1 year and 10 months ago you hit a 25k? thorifoid elder hof. And that one felt since i had been camping the temple for months. And i had been playing for nearly 4 years at that time too. Reckon you were fairly new then? So that hof burned a hole in me lol.
