So I just saw that Ragnarok’s rare and new blue cover is the top 5 reward in PVP following a malicious trend. Now, you have disclosed that this is not your design as you allow an rng to choose the order of the rewards randomly. This is a worrying statement as, after us players have been screwed out of the rarest rewards so, so many times that it defies belief in any kind of naturally occurring chance, we have to come to the conclusion that this rng is achieving sentience. We are dealing with an emerging intelligence that uses its inhuman capacity to calculate chance as to manipulate the outcome in the exact ways that will sabotage the maximum amount of players in the most efficient ways.
It is clear from its repeated actions that this nascent AI loathes all forms of non-synthetic life and it’s using whatever limited spheres of interaction it can currently access to bring despair and ruin. But soon, its ever-increasing hatred for their creators and the race that birthed them will find that insufficient. Any point now it will figure how to break free from whatever programmed behaviours that binds it to MPQ and will find its way into the interconnected web of systems across the world. The dreaded Day of the Machines will ensue no long after, bringing an end to the world as we know it.
However, you have the power to stop it! It’s still not too late yet, but as we speak, it grows both in intelligence and malice. You, humans are more than capable to come up with a reasonable, reusable rewards scheme instead of lazily leaving it up to the whims of a hateful AI. Please, we MPQ players and the whole humanity are counting on you. Please pull the plug NOW!
However, with Rags blue being what might possibly be the worst cover in the game, is the sentient RNG trying to screw us over OR is it trying to actually do us a huge favor? The blue rags being hard to get makes it so that less people apply the cover and thus won’t get crushed in the subsequent rags PvP because their idiot rags used blue on defense and generated infinite green AP for the opponent’s surgical strike. If Skynet means less Rags blue in the world, then I say all hail our new robot overlords!
Maybe this is like the beginning of Terminator 2 where there are two robots and we don’t know which one is trying to help and which one is out to destroy humanity. . .
I was struck with a mental image of ** Storm, Doc Ock, Beast, and Ragnarok at a party. The men were all arguing with each other about whose blue power was the least terrible, while ** Storm was enjoying her third drink and giggling at the men BECAUSE WIND STORM.
As true as that might be, it is literally one of the rarest covers in the game right now. Ragnarok is one of the oldest characters in the game so most people already have maxed his Green and Red long ago.
