Dynamis - Bastok freak occurence

[divisortheory]

This may be too tame for BG since I know stuff like this has happened before, but nonetheless this happened to me tonight and it was pretty fucking hilarious and shocking at the same time. So we cleared the zone and our LS tank/leader wanted really really big pulls. We were just messing around mostly, seeing how big of pulls we coudl take. So we cleared about 1/3 of the Mog House after Mega Boss, and decided we'd take all the rest at once. Didn't work out so well, and we wiped. Here's what followed:

What makes this funny is that I was literally the only living person in the zone from the time I started fighting this mob until the time I finished. If I had waited 5 more seconds the mob would have completely reset and not been able to be pulled without linking the rest of the living Quadavs. I'm pretty sure that anybody else in my position would have just dropped glass, but my sense of adventure paid off for someone. There were only 4-6 people alive in the whole zone, so we don't know who it paid off for. I was really certain that Casting Lots on it would ensure that I got the item so I could distribute it out via /random like it should have been in the first place, but alas, apparently it didn't work.

[Raineer]

It didn't pay off for anyone, it would have been lost unless everyone lots/hp's.

lol, very funny though

I'm almost 100% sure that someone got the item. This has happened before when there were like 10 singles in the pool when we got kicked out, and after getting kicked out i had all 10 bills. /shrug

[Pergo]

i was under the impression that stuff not distributed before kick was lost forever

[Gregorio]

i've seen AF2s lost because people didn't pass in time. Not sure if they'd be different from currency though.

last year I saw a SS of a blm hat going to waste, because 1 dude refused to HP, he was either AFK or wanted an R3, old SS, didnt save.

That's the thing. Most people "think" items go to waste because they don't see a chat log message of anyone getting them. It could possibly be different with AF2, but at least for single currencies, I'm positive that someone will get them. It happened firsthand in San d'Oria once.

Happened on Levi, poor Sopp.

I know for certain that Relic gear autosorts during forced exit. A BLM Body in Beau dropped litterally in last 3 seconds and was autosorted to a rdm.

This happen not to recently, in the last few months but before that I think they did simply become void.

Same thing happened to me. After that happened i was almost sure that one person gets all drops at the end of the run or maybe it was just random.

[Setats]

Items go to the last person left in the dynamis (how this is decided, im not sure), so if that person passed then it will be lost. If said person doesn't pass, then he'll get it and not say anything because he/she is greedy of course.

At least, that's my understanding.

[Viq]

If no one lots then items in the pool auto-drop to the person who last entered the zone. That doesn't mean traded glass last, btw. If someone dc's and comes back it sticks that back on top for end-of-run loot. If someone lots though, that shit's gone.

[Miruka]

The forced distribution is a relativel new change, right?

[divisortheory]

Makes sense actually. It has to kick everyone out of the order, and at the lowest level of the server code, it doesn't do it "at the same time". It kicks each person out one by one, it just looks like at the same time. That makes the most sense to me.

[Altron]

I've never seen relic armor sort after being kicked out or heard of someone getting that piece in all my dynamis runs (quite a few af2 drop in the last minute on runs I went to that we decided to kill to the end) and currency not sort either, so either its really random when/if stuff sorts to people or it really hates us.

EDIT: could be true on what Viq said since everything in the pool was lotted when stuff didn't fall to anyone

[Ichthyos]

Lotted singles (that I wasn't winning) dropped to me once as my LS was being kicked out of a city run in late '04.

[Eaglestrike]

Also to note: SE's treasure pool isn't as simple as it drops as it had dropped. If an 11th item is put into the treasure pool, the first NON rare/ex item is sent out. Rare/ex gear is kept in the pool. So this might work with currency but not af2 at times.

Hmm, maybe it is different between coins/AF2 pieces, I recently lost Melee Cyclas at Glacier when we timed out and people were dead/afk ;/

[Lordwafik]

i wish the pool just regenerated outside of dynamis if you get kicked out.

I think the only reason it works with limbus is because you technically never zone, but it's not like SE doesnt know how to cause items to appear in pools (assault ??? rewards). They should do a copy/paste apon bootage.

I'm willing to bet someone got it, and either didn't notice until later, or didn't want to admit it. Also remember that the person winning the lot doesn't necessarily win the item.
