Finding Rares: Insight from a Programmer

[NetNomad]

Well, even if BTT has some say in it, there's also a degree of randomization involved. The creator of this thread (I think it was) brought up the idea of system time affecting "random" number choice... which does have some merit. You have to remember that there isn't a real system of "random" yet; everything we call "random" is really just pseudorandom because it's based on something. Thus, the beat you're in could have some limited say in whether you see a rare monster or item. But it is just a theory, of course... and since this basically deals with how the system gets a random number, it's almost impossible to totally prove or disprove (at least, I think it'd be near impossible... could be wrong).
