I have found the map selection is weighted to the ones you just played, when you do get to a map you want one tends to get several shots at it.

As for the maps being evenly weighted, that's a crock, you had better check the code. Any one playing for a few hours knows better.

its nice , you re-post others words, while its not like that, definetly not this week.
6 times in row crimson (i had there tons of scores), while 2x minning for whole week ? 2 times tard team there, and the misery is big in this.

You talk like these things only happen during this event.
6 in a row is rare but nothing impossible. I've had times of River city 6 times in a row, Terra 7 times.
Can go nights without playing a single HPG then will get it 3 times in a row.

You're overrating.

Honestly, unless you have the actual map % from the source files, your claims are easily dismissed as "bad luck".

kira, ofc it not first time, the rotation is like that. but you know.... am..... this event is DEPENDABLE on this imbecil rotation.

And stop being fanboi, you are not good at it.

Not sure what I'm supposed to be a "fanboi" of.
Your complaint just seems to be based on bad RNG.

Please tune the weight to maps you haven't completed.

It is incredibly infuriating wasting time on the event because the map rotation and team compositions are not in the right star alignments and other pagan wackiness....

I don't think that's possible.

What you can do/ask is try to ask for a smaller rotation.

8 maps, 15 mins each on a rotation (that means it'll cycle every 2 hours)

That idea (map rotation based on time) I liked most, and covers most playtime scenarios.

Edit:
An alternative rotation would be 6 maps every 10 mins, or 5 (10) maps every 12 mins...

I'm beginning to wonder if getting Crimson Straits is like being able to see a unicorn. You have to have the pureness of a virgin...

[LordNothing]

use the recent map history of all players in a game to weight the map selection.

you could do a flat out count within all players last 10 maps. lower numbers would get higher selection chance.

you could also do exponential weighting of individual players most visited maps, and then sum the results for all players. that way if one or more players have landed on the same map many times, then that map becomes gets a tiny chance for selection.

Playing for 3 days now in the event..... not one time did I get to play on HPG Manifold - read a cpl of comments ingame that I am not the only one having this problem.

What's going on?!

Right there with you, after 8 hours of solo que play last night and no HPG for me either.... I'm out.

Had the others done in less than 4 hours.....played another 4 hours trying to get HPG just once, kept playing saying to myself "next map, I'll see it next drop".

I knew..... I KNEW I shouldn't have even bothered.

CW was way easier and quicker. At least if you stay on the same planet for a cycle you will likely see every map.

[Tool Box]

I feel really bad for you guys I got HPG manifold maybe 3 times out of the ~100 games I put into this event. Being pretty good at the game I got 558 match score first time but I can't even begin to fathom how it is expected of other players to be able to do that when they're getting **** for luck.

Yeah, I'm jelly.

That was two kills both solos and 500ish damage dealt.

I need HPG manifold too to finish off the tier 2 prize, got the tier 1 but i want that hula girl.

[KrazedOmega]

It took me 29 matches on the first day for HPG to finally pop. Luckily I got my 400 points on the first try.

I've been keeping track of the maps and after the first day Forest Colony, River City and Caustic Valley had a large lead over the others. After day two things started to even out with Forest Colony, River City and Mining Collective with a slight lead.

[Yokaiko]

Still haven't seen crimson....once.

I'm still looking for River City. I'm getting Crimson Strait enough, but so far the match score on that map has been elusive.

On Monday I will poke around to see what we can do for future events to help compensate for or adjust the random map selections. As it is right now, all of the maps are at the same selection weight.

The elusive crimson strait. I had 588 dmg, 1 kill, and 5 assists and we won and sat at 370+. The injustice, lol. Well try, try again.
