I dunno how "random" loot works. But we've been noticing people with names in the middle of the alphabet get a lot more of it... with the exception of Marias, who the game engine hates.

8ayamo: 8 marbles
Ballak: 13 marbles
evalR: 16 marbles
Mathalos: 27 marbles
Marias: 5 marbles
Royin: 20 marbles

Racism.

Did they secretly increase the Drop Rate of the Shurikens? I did 2 Kunocihi boxes with faction mates last night and got 24 Shurikens from them.

Now that the Sleepwalker boxes are out aswell the Kunoichi boxes don't seem so ridiculous, you now have a choice depending on who you can get for a team, a small team can take on the Kunoichi boxes where a larger one can smash through the Sleepwalker ones quickly.

Also, the popular guess I've heard is that like Datamine, there'll be a total of 3 updates dealing with Sati's playground(If it even follows the same pattern), and most people I've talked to have guessed Unlimit boxes next.

At any rate, I'd love it if their "usable" loot like the marbles and shurikens were the "Cheat Codes"

Only if we get Legwarmers with them too, and they can put up those cinema screens in the parks again and show really bad Aerobics TV shows.

I think it does as it says on the tin, its random. It will prob depend on who loots, who got items last loot and the position of the loot on the npc. Prob the best way to do it is add up all the marbles at the end then split it between whoeva helped farm. Either that or try and take turns about at who loots.

its probably random (1,6) or something. Never been fond of small numbers like that for random for MMO equations because it tends to favor the middle. Hell anything with small number ranges favor the middle group. (I've done some random MMO emu work in the past >_> ) If it hasn't been done, I would recommend using the API Randomize() be added on client/server initialization for better random results (it helps, believe me), Or PersonTogiveTo = Random(1,69) / 10 for better odds with

my random guess at how it works was that it tried to everyone something but if your inventory is full you can only accept marbles hence it will give them to you more. maybe just a coincidence though.
