I would have finally completed my last quest, but nope, the item chooses to spawn in this level

Ouch.
Well, it's only for a useless quest. It would probably be much more annoying if it was a liquor (and the quest was still not completed)

I think that now that it appeared once it has more chances to appear again, at least in the short period. Isn't it?

I don't know why that should be the case. As far as I know, the chances are always totally random, no matter if an item has already appeared or not.

Yep totally random...

Let me show you my new !
and from now till the end of time... an extra life !

Let's see if i can beat him in nightmare mode

I read somewhere that when an item has appeared once it has more chance to appear again, especially during the same game. There's probably a modifier to the probability to deal with this. So when you find a coeff. 5 item, chances are higher that you'll find something that has already appeared before. For example in my French account not long ago I found 2 green pearls during the same game, and a few days later another one has appeared. In my experience it's uncommon that Motion Twin games have features that are completely random.

@JmJmLaviiiie
Nice man! It seems like you also have good chances to reach HoF this week

@deceiver
I have to say I am a bit sceptical about this. There have been numerous rumours in this game, of which some have been proven right, and some were wrong. To prove this you would probably have to get a look at the programming code. But a mechanism like that wouldn't make much sense to me

I got to TT.15 in UE Mode, but after losing 5 lives in TT.9 (the one with the ), I wasn't able to survive this level. Getting closer tho

You don't necessarily need to check the code. A statistical study with a large enough sample of data would suffice. I think that's what someone did, probably on the French server. But I'm too lazy to dig out that thread or search again the exact source where I read about it.
On a personal level, there are too many coincidences. The green pearl (which I had never found before) is an example, and of course an example is nowhere near a proof. But many similar situations are a hint. Too often I keep finding the same items during the same game, like 4 (or was it 5) . Too often an item which appears in the very first levels will appear again immediately. And lastly, the distribution of the collected rare items is not random at all, which is probably the major hint about some modifiers being implemented.

That said, I keep dying in Hell 8, usually too often even in the previous levels.
That will be a long way to go for the pyramid.

To prove definitively would require an insanely large sample - I'm guessing more levels and items than anyone has ever played. And even so, you'd never know if what you found is due to a planned discrepancy in the code, or just random noise.
