Kyu Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) also wtf is the 'how much we think you're cheating' supposed to mean? if you think someones cheating you should ban, not mess around with shiny rates what teh actual fuck. do you do that for every account? who decides this? i know you won't answer this cause 'oh noes private info'. Cheat metrics don't result in automatic bans because they're experimental. When we do start banning for them I'm sure you'll know with the waves of QQ. Nobody is sitting at their desk deciding. When a rate is modified it's done on a per-player basis by the system, like almost everything else. Didn't think to even mention it? People(including me) paying donator for that 1/7k rate... you know? Thanks.. I apologise for the out of date information. This is a situation we weren't really sure how to handle when we began to change things, and ignoring it wasn't the right way to do so.

So the more I no life for a shiny, the more this variable thinks I'm a bot and the less likely I'm going to get a shiny? TheNakedRamen, Vaeldras, Misfire33 and 7 others 10 Link to comment
ThinkNice Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Shiny rate hasn't been a static amount for at least a year. It's variable depending on things like 'Whether donator status is active' 'Where you got your pogeyman' 'What you've been doing' 'How new you are' 'How much we think you're cheating' 'If you are male or female' etc added the biggest factor for you Kyu, no need to thank me got your back bruh Kizhaz, laxwins, Heimann and 20 others 23 Link to comment

Arimanius Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I mean Kyu, this is really surprising even for me that I've been almost every time on your side (staff), if this is true you gotta say what are the EXACT differences between donator status or normal status about shiny hunt or people will stop donating at all since I think this is one of the more important factors to donate for some people and that can't be a good thing.

Desu Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 EXACT differences between donator status or normal status It's +10%. The item has always said 10%. PandaJJ and Reeser 2 Link to comment

The few times I donated before I quit, I only got it thinking the 1/8600 or w/e rate was active. Link to comment

KaynineXL Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 It's +10%. The item has always said 10%. It says here my odds of receiving a shiny will be 1/7373 with donator. flavajabari, Draekyn and dedegendut 3 Link to comment
Desu Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 It says here my odds of receiving a shiny will be 1/7373 with donator. On that note, I've updated the FAQ for next update so it's no longer misleading. It still as an equal relative change of +10%. Link to comment

Draekyn Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 It's variable depending on things like 'How new you are' That's why the new kids always get the nice stuff, time to hunt on new accounts boys Kyzu, frogbussoms and Heimann 3 Link to comment
ThinkNice Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 With at least a year he means the altering cave update. That's why the new kids always get the nice stuff, time to hunt on new accounts boys It could track your IP address to counter this. Link to comment
KaynineXL Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 That's why the new kids always get the nice stuff, time to hunt on new accounts boys Thinking same thing.. don't worry.. Also because I no life shiny farm, the system thinks I'm a bot, so I'm less likely. frogbussoms 1 Link to comment
Tritios Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 That's why the new kids always get the nice stuff, time to hunt on new accounts boys It has to be the other way around, Older people have a bigger chance.

Can't see any reason why noobs should be rewarded for being noobs if you find a shiny early, you're more likely to stay and keep paying for donator status, especially with that highly alluring "1/7373" language in there. I'm legitimately curious how much less donator money would have rolled in without the 1/7373 language Heimann 1 Link to comment
