Beat Time Theory = wrong

[Benoit]

For anyone who thinks beat times affect rares drops (glares at SheWren), read this PSOW topic. Thank you.<p>http://www.planetdreamcast.com/psoworld/viewtopic.php?topic=78200&forum=7

That's the trillioned topic I've seen on PSOW about Beattimes and Rare Enemies/Rares. Funny thing is that I brought up a very good point which totally RUINED the idea of Rares being affected by Beat Times in another topic (in the past!).<br>You could just reset your GameCube time and be around that same beat (for instance 666 which people thought would see Hildetorrs).

Eh? Nono, beat time theory says that drop rate percentages are different in certain moments...not that you'll find rare monsters!<br>I played VH Ruins two days at the same hour...found THE SAME rare weapon.<br>Thus I don't say that the theory is right, only that is plausible.<br>Anyway, believe what you want. I have tons of rare items found by myself and you Benoit? How many?

[LaconianShot]

That may make some sense, actually. I've only ever found DB's Saber in the morning...but I'm not gonna say either way.

[Benoit]

I play less than you. You don't have to go to school and don't have a job.<br>I still have enough rare items.<br>The general rule is: the more you play, the more rares you will find.

[LaconianShot]

How many hours do you have? I have clocked around 70 with my 2 characters combined.

We shouldn't fight about who has the most rares! Beat time may affect the game's rare drops, but I personally don't know enough about it to comment.<p>Benoit, I agree with you when you say that the more you play, the more rares you get. It's a thing of patience, and people who play alot will get more rares.<p>Also, I'm inclined to think that the harder your difficulty, the better chance you have of getting rares, though I can't be sure. Hmmm, maybe that's something I have to look into...

My hunter alone has clocked a massive 700+ hours! I belive more in the odds theory. In other words, 1 syncesta means about 100 diska of bravemans, i litteraly only keep bravemans with 30+ hit percent! I have found a dumptruck load of rares, so it does have to do with how much you play, and eventually the odds will give you somthing special.

[SheWren]

My HUne has more then 620 hours...and finds NOTHING.<br>Benoit, YOU did complaint of having only the Flowen Sword...<br>I repeat, BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT, but stop trying to make me think that who follows beat theory is stupid!

[Neo48]

i was way off with my time, its actually 590 hours. The beat theory eh? It worked when i wanted to find add slots, i believe about eight o'clock in the morning where I live. But maybe it was coincedince, who knows. I never checked to see if that beat time was good for addslots, i just discovered my self that being a good time. Forest in Hard mode, with a redria.

[Neo48]

This idea just popped into my head, why not ask Sonic Team? Can't be any harm in that. There has to be a reason why I can find fifty Justy's and one Syncesta in the same ammount of cave runs I've done. I believe its because of odds, but I may still be wrong.

[Butoden]

I bet it's done before and they gave no reply...
