Strikes are not random
This has been going on for a while now and it's starting to get to me. The problem is when ever I go to play strikes I end up playing only handful of different strikes. Like I could play the dust palace then a strike or two later it shows up again and thus happens on a regular basis. This leads me to believe that they are not randomly selected. It seems it weights a couple strikes alot heavier than the others. I'm not sure I'd I'm just unlucky but it's frustrating playing for multiple hours and not getting the strike I want so I can get my loot.

Yeah I get you, I feel like sepiks perfected is the only strike I ever play anymore

10 RepliesEdited by Dangly: 12/4/2016 11:44:36 PMCame here looking for numbers or proof but got nothing. I'm taking college statistics right now and if anything this validates that the process is random. Think of it this way, when you're flipping a coin, you can only get heads or tails. Say you flip heads 3 times in a row. You're thinking "Wow the next one HAS to be tails I'm putting all my bets on tails!". But in all reality, it is still the same 50/50 chance it was the previous 3 times. For it to have an increased chance of being tails, flipping heads would have to affect the probability, but it doesn't; flipping one way has no affect on the next flip because they are two independent events. There was a woman in Australia who had 2 separate children who died in their sleep of natural causes. The court thought she had something to do with it so she was locked up; their reasoning being that it was just too unlikely for that to actually happen. Years later, she was released when people actually realized it isn't as impossible as they thought. Point being, you getting the same strike frequently means nothing in terms of randomness. It's [i]random[/i]; a 1/(how many ever strikes there are) chance each time you get that strike. If there are 8 strikes total you'd have a 1/8 chance [i]each time[/i], since you playing one strike doesn't affect what the next will be.

This happens to me, except the prioritized strikes seem to change every once in a while. One day I'll get Malok repeatedly, the next I'll get Fallen Saber repeatedly, and so on. Sorta sucks
-
Yea gets boring quick... Put all strikes in the playlist, variety is the spice of life... 😉 used to love heroic strikes but not now especially as most just run past enemies anyway...
-
I have this quarter. I flipped it 10 times and it came up tails 7 times, therefore coin flips arent 50/50. Somehow Bungie is forcing my quarter to keep landing on tails.

1 ReplyFor me, the Strike playlist means.... "Play Undying Mind until you decide to go back to Crucible"

Every time , the heroic strike is the nightfall

2 RepliesNo they aren't random...as someone who kind of avidly plays strikes, I can kind of put me two cents in. I get the same 3-4 strikes (Valus, Flayers, Undying Mind, sometimes a SIVA one rarely) and I'm left to play those 3-4 until I back out and get a new rotation. Whenever I get a 'new rotation' I get a mix between TTK strikes and a SIVA one. It's bullshit, I feel like we should have strike voting, almost like map voting in Call of Duty but with strikes.

This sounds a lot like when I do strikes, I usually goes like: Mars Earth Mars Moon Mars Mars Dreadnought Mars Mars Moon Mars Venus Mars Mars Mars -blam!-ing Mars

If you want something particular from a strike just select that strike and switch it to the 320 LL version. You don't have to wait for a strike to come up to get what you want. Provided you have a skeleton key.

3 RepliesSo why is that not random? Rng I get same things over and over why's this any diff

6 RepliesEdited by PushedBean764: 12/4/2016 12:02:56 PMI recently had some strikes go: Shadow Thief > Wretched Eye > Blighted Chalice > [b]Flayers[/b] > [b]Valus[/b] (1 S-Key) > [b]Flayers[/b] > [b]Valus[/b] > [b]Undying Mind[/b] (used S-Key, got seaweed) > Sepiks 5 Mars strikes in a row. I haven't been to Venus in quite awhile, I'd like to go there some day.

4 RepliesI'm sick to death of doing omnigul. I hate that strike and I am sick of it. It's not fun in any way and I'm fed the fuçk up with it. I don't even know why that made the new playlist and nexus didn't [spoiler]Warp Speed![/spoiler]

5 RepliesI think the strike list favors the burn. So if it is solar you'll get me strikes that are geared toward solar enemies etc.

1 ReplyYes, so is RNG on loot. They are on a "playlist", which keeps rolling. That's why if u open blue engrams very quickly they will sometimes decode into consecutive purple items

3 Replieshttps://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/218888845/0/0 Can I get some bumps to help keep this thread from being buried? It's a post offering raid help (I call it raid school but it's basically a Sherpa post) Would greatly appreciate it!

This is actually true. It gives mostly the cabal strikes than hive strikes. I got lucky tho. My first skeleton key ever and it so happened I was doing Omnigul (which is EXTREMELY RARE to get in the playlist) and I got Grasp of Malok so ya 🙂
-
I miss strikes. I must play them soon.
-
That's what happens when you run with randoms, one leaves a strike can repeat
-
If you're trying to use a skeleton key, go into the hard mode of it

Cool story
