do you BELIEVE or NOT in time affected drops - K_I_R_E_E_K - 07-12-2005

ok. i have red sometopics about this , but even you say that time or beattime does not affect drops i will say that in some way the game is affected.
here are the reasons that i believe that i based on.
twin brand-the first times i did vhard ruins i found a twin brand, and a few days later i found another one, after that for many times i do vhard ruins, they do not apear, a common weapon turned into a rare weapon.
brave knukle- i did vhard forest for a long time and no rares, until every day i played i was able to find the brave knukle, after that long period of time, they stop apearing to me(maybe because i played on a different time of the day) "heres a brave knucle finding" 0,0,1,1,1,2,1,2,2,2,1,2,1,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0...........(as you can see, sometimes i even found 2.
red sword- ok the red sword is 1/900 from a crissom assassin (ultimate caves), i did not find it in the first days at caves, BUT there was a day that i found 2 red swords(cave1,cave2) luck or coincidence)
book of katana 3- i did many times vhard caves and never found this item, but one day on caves 3 , the last criature on a room gave me this item, i was happy................for short time because the FIRST criature in the NEXT room gave me the same item.
ultimate forest- tell me why sometimes i can't find special weapons, and sometimes i go to the pioner with 2 red sabers, 1 victor axe and 4 red handguns, talk about luck.
post your casualities and vote.

I do find it odd myself:
After playing the vhard forest with a viridia and a bluefull for nearly a week straight just trying to get a yamato, I eventually gave up and decided to hunt something else.
A soul banish and a Twin Chakram. So, I made a RAcast, skyly, for the soul banish and my lady made a fomarl of the Oran sort. We got both of them to Vhard, and on the first run for BOTH of them, they found a yamato. Now, excuse me, but their drop rate from the vhard dragon is no different from bluefull or viridia.
What the piss?

Musashi did a similar thing to me with said bluefull and viridia. When I first went to hard, long, long ago, I found about three musashi. But if I take any characters through there now, including those viridias and bluefulls (usually just to test certain things), I don't see the musashi anymore.
What the piss?

I don't believe it. Coinsidences perhaps, but I don't believe the beat effects the drop rate. I mean i've found 2 rappy's wings right after another, yamato 3 runs in a row before, 2 Nar lily's in the same room, one drops rare other doesn't, etc... Chance is what controls your drops, nothing else factors... Atleast that's what i've been told and how I see it in my own game experiences.

It was actually proven that Beat time do not affect drops, or rare monster encounters.
