BuriDogshin Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) There are two limits on how fast you can pull the Slot machine lever: 1 GCD per click from your character, aprox (may be affected by Alacrity) and the reset time of the machine, which seems to be about (edit) 2 GCDs. So, if you can click once every 1.5 seconds and have 3 or more machines (so there is always a machine ready to click), here's the odds of getting a Walker mount if you do that continuously for a period of time: -- 1 hour (2,400 pulls): 2.3 %4 hours (9,600 pulls): 9.1 %8 hours (19,200 pulls): 17 %16 hours (38,400 pulls): 31.9 %24 hours (57,600 pulls): 43.8 %28 hours (67,200 pulls): 48.9 %32 hours (76,800 pulls): 53.6 %72 hours (172,800 pulls): 82.2 % If someone is just macroing a repeated right click on one machine, they should multiply the above times by (edit) two.

Draqsko Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) 3 seconds between clicks.. actually you can probably do it in 2.5 seconds but 3 seconds works fine. So really you only need 2 machines to continuously click Edited January 21, 2015 by Draqsko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuriDogshin Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 3 seconds between clicks.. actually you can probably do it in 2.5 seconds but 3 seconds works fine. So really you only need 2 machines to continuously click To me, the time between clicks seemed to be longer when some wins happened. But if you are correct, the mouse-macro people need only double the hours given above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadin Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 You're better off farming rep on Yavin 4 and buying one for 100k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bachannal Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 You're better off farming rep on Yavin 4 and buying one for 100k. FAR better. The ROI in comparison on the slots is actually a negative sum, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halcyon_havoc Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Shouldn't the odds be the same every time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadin Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Shouldn't the odds be the same every time? I was gonna say something similarly but yeah, each pull gives the same odds. Sure the theory goes that the more you do it the more the chance increases that you'll get something ultra rare eventually. But it's perfectly viable to also NEVER get it because it doesn't change the more you try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GopherLuV Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yea while it was "working as intended" before it became worthless... I was running between 3 machines in a line just moving left to right spamming my right click when it turned into a hand... it seemed to work out when I hit the third machine it had been ready for about 0.5s or so.. less than the GCD it took to click the last machine.. Also.. has anyone confirmed this mount? I'm not going to trust that it's there until I see proof... I feel as though they are saying it's there in order for us to spend more on it...

Bachannal Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 When you're talking a 1/100,000 odds ratio? No. Better off farming rep on Yavin, period. It's a net gain every time as you gain creds and mats along the way, as well as XP if you're not leveled to 60 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat-Wave Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Shouldn't the odds be the same every time? For each specific pull, you are correct. However odds also add up over time, if you do something often enough, sooner or later RNG will love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's perfectly viable to also NEVER get it because it doesn't change the more you try. It isn't really a theory, studies have proven that... If you repeat something with low odds often enough, the odds of you never hitting "win" start to approach zero at some point... It is just that humans suck at figuring out how many times you have to play the lotto to turn the odds around in your favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draqsko Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 To me, the time between clicks seemed to be longer when some wins happened. But if you are correct, the mouse-macro people need only double the hours given above. Tested on my Razer Synapse software, you can get it down to 2.5 seconds on a macro, but 3 seconds is a little safer for dealing with lag and hitches. Granted I'm also good for ping too so that could be it, usually run between 25-30 ms. So 3 seconds between clicks is a good esitmate, the timing could be tighter but for some people it could require a slightly longer delay (not much more than a half second more though).

MillionsKNives Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I was gonna say something similarly but yeah, each pull gives the same odds. Sure the theory goes that the more you do it the more the chance increases that you'll get something ultra rare eventually. But it's perfectly viable to also NEVER get it because it doesn't change the more you try. The odds each time are the same. For instance, you can't say that because you failed to get it 100,000 times in a row that now you have a much higher chance of getting it the next attempt. That's the gambler's falacy. However, you can use it to say that by throwing 100,000 times you have roughly a 63.2% chance of winning it on one of the 100,000 attempts. It's a matter of perspective and what you're trying to use that number to mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
