Why can some other players get the top super rare color clydesdale with only 5 times totem (I just asked some players who got the top super rare color clydesdale) , but I have used 9 times totem and still can't get any rare color clydesdale (Not even the common rare colors of Clydesdale) , so strangely , i only got common 3-4 black color clydesdale with 9 times totem ( and I bought all these totem in uo store)

    Unfortunately, that's all RNG. Sometimes the RNG is generous, and other times, it is very stingy.

    How efficient are you at killing Clydesdales and getting the to respawn though that's a factor.

    This is even more strange. I usually kill a Clydesdale with about 2-3 hits, and the total time from killing a Clydesdale to letting it spawn is about 5 seconds per cycle. But strangely, even with used so many totem, the probability of getting a color Clydesdale is lower than that of a completely novice player.Now I just saw that I have used five times totem again (This is also purchased from uo store) , but I don’t have any colored Clydesdale (not even a common or rare color), Don’t you think it’s strange? I think the area where the player lives is the main factor that real affects the chance of getting a rare color of Clydesdale.

    Nothing plays a factor in the Clydesdale spawn colors other than the RNG. Not luck, location or anything else. It truly is absolutely random.

    Just to be "that guy"...

    There's no such thing as a perfect random number generator. It's not "absolutely" random. Just saiyan.



    I feel your pain OP. I've put way too much damn money into totems and got f-all to show for it. Such a great feeling when I see people making posts with multiples of the rarest stuff. Definitely makes me want to spend more money on the scam known as "totems".

    I'm aware they work, but it sure feels like a scam when I'm 15 totems deep and only have 2 rares to show for it, and others have ubers and more with less than half that. Even the blues, which are "uncommon" barely spawn.

    I agree, feels a little to much like gambling to me. I think these should be reworked to have some bad luck protection. It would make it easier to accept knowing that each totem is getting you some progress towards the uber.

    I've been of the opinion that the totems need a "pity system" for quite a while now myself. In concept, they are just loot boxes that take an hour to open, which in and of itself is a major flaw. Not only am I down 15 totems worth of cash, I'm out 15 hours of time for almost nothing. 
    Damn near every other system of a similar nature in any other MMO has some "pity system" to speak of when it comes to real currency purchases.
