I know it's likely just a coincidence, but I started seriously playing on Nightmare mode yesterday (as opposed to playing to level 50 and quitting because I had limited time) and have found 3 Garlic in those two days. In the months of having the Vegetables family available prior to yesterday, I saw only one. Are some items more common in certain game modes or is it just the random nature of the game?

It is all random

I have 2 Almond Laxatives. I got them in 2 games in a row. I haven't seen any in maybe a year.

Like I said, I don't expect there is a correlation. It just struck me as interesting that an item I haven't really seen suddenly shows up three times in two games. But I suppose it's no different than some people getting a Book of Stars their first week playing and others playing for a year before seeing one.

I realize that i often find one item i searched long time for in a row, and then a long time again i don't see it. I have the feeling that if you found an item you found it more often to that time, but i never see that it has something to do with game mode.

It is always the same: We want to see relations between items appearing and certain things we do (e.g. playing in N-mode or playing at 02:53 in the morning, or playing at the time of a lunar eclipse...), but there is nothing like this. It is simply mathematics - anything can happen, and if you play enough games, it eventually will happen.

Seems like everyone gets cool items in N-Mode, by matter of luck, when it's always the exact same opposite to me.

Well i dont think like this. Of course gamemodes do not have anything to do with the appearance of rare items but i think theres a reason why items do often apear twice or more in a row. I think its because of the "Event-Handler" ( don't know if theres a special name for it on hfest.net ). Event-Handlers do often have lags , so this might be the reason

What do you mean by this? That there always appear two items per stage in Hammerfest? This is just how it was programmed, man.

Also makes it appear two point items per stage, making it a total of three per stage 'till you die.

By the by, in normal circumstances, the first item is always an effect item (like ) and the second, a point item (like ).

No we are talking about that same items often appear temporally close together. And "Event-Handler" is a term from programming. So he talk about the way the game (and it's randomizer) is programmed.

I never really saw this kind of thing happen, so this is why I don't know what you're talking.

Oh well.
