Sniped Loot Or Not

Hi,

I am lootrunning with 125% lb and 61% lq. But every chest I open just has a group of emeralds (10-20) and nothing else. When I open a high tier chest, there is usually 1 rare and some commons.

Is this the average loot per chest, or is it the result of someone opening it recently? As far as the discord, no one on there looted the world for 4 hours, so it could have been a free runner / sniper.

If I did get sniped, what (if anything) can I do? Every lootrun I've been on for the past 3 months has gone the exact same way. I try to find worlds that have been up for 3-5 hrs (ones that haven't been /l'd for that amount of time), but the loot is no different from looting on a 1-2hr active world. Do I just need more loot bonus?

Thanks.

 

it's not the average loot per chest. 10-20 emeralds is probably less than 1h loot. not sure if that's enough for it to count as sniping.

admittedly 125lb isn't the greatest but most of the blame can still be placed against the servers you're running on. i suspect (no objective evidence) that low uptime worlds are less likely to be taken, so i normally for the 2-3h range. the amount of competition you face does depend on the lootrun as well (e.g. rodo is more popular). otherwise i guess you're just really unlucky.

just in case your brain is tiny, make sure you're looting worlds that are sufficiently high uptime both on planner bot and on moto bot.

 

Normally it’s just people who either don’t know about the loot runners discord or those which don’t have enough chests looted to use it.

 

If you didn't know, the amount of stuff in a chest is not only increased by lq/lb but also by the uptime of a world (higher uptime -> more loot) and how long you have been connected.

 

I don't believe your connection time has any impact on the quality or quantity of the loot, just the server uptime and time since the chest was last opened (and loot quality and bonus of course).

 

Oh, huh I'd always thought it did.
