Item rarity and randomness

Pyramid level: 3 41
Tuesday 09 Sep 2008 07:13
Now then, I have been meaning to talk about this for a while... The item's appearances are certaintly NOT completely random. There are a few things I would like to point out:

1. Once a certain item has appeared in a game, it is much more likely to appear again in this game.

2. Once a certain item has appeared in a level, it is much more likely to appear again in future instances of that level.

3. Once a certain item has appeared, it is slightly more likely to appear in future games.

4. 1 and 2 would wear off eventually (otherwise the servers would get completely overloaded), but the conditions are uncertain (at least, I don't know them). 3 remains permenantly.

Can anyone build onto this, or link to a similar thread in the french version?

That first statement feels like it is true. There are some objects that I seem to find multiple times if they're seen at all. Sometimes it happens with good things:

20 64

Sometimes it happens with bad things.

13 18 22 87

It's definitely not uncommon to see the same object 3-4 times in the game. On the other hand, you do end up seeing a fair number of objects in a large game, so it might simply be randomness. But it doesn't feel that way.
