I love how people think 98% means 100%.

How else do you explain this? First I failed at 98%, then right after on another base with 96% chance. Today I managed to fail three times in a row, on a 88%, then 80% and a 78%. There is either something written in the code to make me inable to raid bases properly, or the percentage values is WAY OFF. |

Well you didn't have a 100% chance so you failing was just unlucky...You can fail at 99% and even succeed at 1% it random |

It's bad luck + RNG injustice, it's a moral issue, but it's not going to change. Don't post about % in the issue section until you fail a 100%, and last time that happened (to me / i know of) was long, very long ago. |

All I'm gonna say is law of large and small numbers.... Please do collect 500 CONSECUTIVE data entries before trying to talk about % chance. And I'll do some statistical analysis on that. |

Failing those two chances had a .08% chance of happening. Very small. But with thousands of people fighting hundreds of bases, every day for two years? It was bound to happen to someone. |

If you knew anything about coding, you'd know how hard it is to have a broken RNG. Galaxy Legion is a PHP/Javascript game, PHP handling the server-side stuff - which this is. It's incredibly easy to create a fair RNG. From using time stamps, to built in functions that do it for you. Yeah. The RNG being used is most probably the same one that every other website using PHP uses. We have a serious problem if it's broken. |

Although as from what i understand, an RNG created in java will produce each number eveanly, although i don't know how to add a percent. |

For 90%, for example, if it produce a random number between 1 and 100, it can compare it to 90 and smaller=success. If it produce a number between 0 and 1, it can compare it to 0.9. If it produce a number between -2^32 and 2^32, it can just compare it to (2^35)/5. What number is produced can be scaled with the number it compares to for the Boolean result, so it's irrelevant whether or not it's a % value. |
