[@PiLotTRr]

A fun story. The drop rates in 2019 were broken. The uncommon and rare masks both had a 1% drop rate. So when they brought the event back in 2020 they adjusted the drop rates so people would have a better chance to get the uncommon masks they desperately wanted. So they made the uncommon rate higher than the common. And Bethesda being Bethesda, they never bothered to change it again.

[@Gamer_Aviator]

That's funny.

[@Gamer_Aviator]

no way! that's crazy. it explains why the drop rate is skewed. i love how everyone just expects bethesda to screw everything up. -oskapt

The common masks are tied to how many bots survive. Players are so good at getting the bots to live that most times the odds are in favor of getting the uncommon ones. If some die then it becomes in favor of the common masks.

[@darthsilversith667]

If 1 bot dies, you lose all chances at getting a rare

[@Buderbukz]

As darthsilversith667 as said. It's true. If even one bot dies, everyone is automatically disqualified from getting a rare. If that happens, quickly jump to another server and try and join another event that has 5 alive bots before it ends.

[@fnusecurity5112]

@@Buderbukz Been trying to jump in between events to do it twice in a hour. Your timing has to be perfect. Every time I tried, the Event already been done for and everyone gone. Do you have to wait for the awards to show up before you jump or the completion notice?

[@Buderbukz]

@@fnusecurity5112 In the scenario I stated, if any bot dies, immediately jump, do not wait for rewards. Leave the server and join another asap. If you are just trying to jump servers to get in more events, "no bots died", then yes wait for rewards before jumping. It isn't easy to find an event that hasn't finished on another server, but it can be done.

[@Buderbukz]

Say for example the super mutant stage a bot dies, leave right away and try a new server. There is absolutely no point staying on the server with dead bots as you will not even be in the running for a rare.

[@jeffbarnesyout]

Actually you could argue that AFKers aren't interacting much with the area (no weapons fired, etc.), so they probably have less impact on the speed of the server than ones who are actually playing. Yes, the growing mask pool has been making getting any particular mask that much harder. I think Bethesda should have rethought the drop rate before doing this. Thanks for the video.

[@Gamer_Aviator]

Yeah, good point!

[@StudioCreations]

I have marched in 30+ Fasnacht Events so far this year and not one Rare Mask has dropped for me yet. The odds have not been in my favor. I will say, one of those events failed because no one had a God-Weapon in the 4-man group that actually walked in the parade (11 AFKers in the area though) and 3 Robots died at the very end (glowing wolves tore them to pieces) . AFKers need to participate in the event for the event to be successful, or no one will ever get rare masks. Ultimately this years Fasnacht has been very frustrating for me. :)

Fasnacht needs a purveyor like murmph. Trade in crap masks for a random rare mask or event completion tickets sorta like overseer tickets to prevent hoarding and keep people playing. Just based on the size of loot pools, complete like ten events > trade in those tickets for a random rare mask > still a low chances of being exactly what you want but you're getting something for your effort; this current system is garbage. Imma probably walk away from this years without a rare mask, with almost 35 events/HOURS under my belt so far (sorry Bethesda I work and dont wanna burn up my xbox). Considering how so called community driven/celebrated fasnacht is, people end these weeks feeling burned out and left out. I've literally only had regular sbq and regular honey bee masks drop from new stuff. I had to buy reg blue devil, reg scorchbeast and 2 of the new plans from player vendors. All I want from fasnacht is a glowing sbq and glowing honey bee dammit. Also why wouldn't wastelanders check out this crazy robot parade, at least settlers and maybe raiders. How about revamping the actual event thats not been touched since it launched 5 YEARS ago. I like Helvetia all peaceful without the scorched, maybe add npc's to talk to even if its just easy rudimentary quests/dialogue and limited to just Fasnachts weeks.

i agree with you that the additional load of people spawning into the server at event time can cause problems. i've noticed the last few times that i was nuked out or the game crashed, and i tried to rejoin a server within the first 10 minutes of the event starting, that i get put onto a new, empty server where the event never started. i don't know if that's a new development or if i'm just unlucky at trying to get into a server and hit the end of the event. - oskapt

I think they should move some of the old rare masks from the rare pool to the uncommon pool when they introduce new ones. Based on popularity, move say the Raven, Winter Man, etc. out of the rare pool. I'm not convinced that there isn't a sub-category in the rare pool. This is my first Fasnacht and I've gotten the Raven, Brahmin, Winter Man and Hag from the rare category. No glowing or loon (the ones everyone wants)

Something bizzare happened to me odds wise at Fasnacht yesterday afternoon. I've been running a camp shop more or less since Fasnacht began south of town by the road. Grahm, the super mutant vendor came walking through my camp and through the intersection where the toads spawn during Fasnacht FOUR TIMES in an afternoon. I'm really curious what the odds of that are because yesterday the RNG really seemed to like him. Made me wonder if it glitched out or something or if I really was that lucky. Each time he was headed towards town I ran ahead, plugged in my headphones and called out "Grahm's coming guys!!! intersection with the toads! he's coming if you need to sell something!!!!"

I have 3, i got 2 at 7am, and 1 at 7pm. I think you have a higher chance at getting it, but only if you've been in the same server for a few hours. At least that's how I've done it. That or Bethesda raised the odds.

[@takewhataway]

Thank you for doing this "research". Anyone with basic statistic knowledge wouldve known already about the chances and how the game works, but you're helping more people understand (and it's not gonna do much if you're AFK-ing). It also makes me feel better for not wanting to do AFK while working or sleeping lol goes both ways. All of the tinfoil theories are wrong of course, but the issue that never being mentioned when we focus on AFK is when only a handful of active players are around vs LOTS of AFK, and then the enemy spawn increased, and there's a chance one robot will die, hence ruining the statistic of getting the rare mask. Ive been in that situation and if I didnt have friendly fire, I know for sure at least one robot would die.

[@Gamer_Aviator]

Yes, indeed. When it comes to AFKers outnumbering the players, simply bounce to a different server untill you get a better one. The one only with AFKers will fail and they'll move too. -NP

Easy to say. But by the time I found out Im failing the fasnacht I'm in, that's one chance ruined because of the AFKers. Ofc its easy to say "I'm gonna sit here, you go and find a different server" ☺lovely. But anyway. it is what it is. @@Gamer_Aviator

[@DumaVadamee109]

To add onto this video, people should be looking at this events loot drop chance like a gacha game or like destiny/borderlands. The reason these drop chanced don't change from anything you do is because the drop chance is tied to a systum randomizer. Gacha games a very similar because they host these shop sellers usually called banners that sell a particular character or weapon a a fixed, randomized percentage rate (and by law they have to publish those ratee to players). Many people have tried many methods to increase the drop rates, and swear up and down that their "rituals" do work, but in reality unless the game company changes the randomizer's code it won't change for anyone. Same thing for borderlands or destiny, you can spend months doing raids or bosses but because of their games randomizer code, they might never get the right weapon or roll of a weapon. The who reason they do this is to keep people playing their game. If a gamess too easy or loots too easy to get or can be duped, no one's going to be playing it after a year. If the games too harsh on difficulty or rewards people will strait up quit and never play it again. A randomizer is both a equalizer of luck and a unconscious stop sign to keep players from ruining the game themselves. So long as players have something to Chase, without feeling their being cheated, they are less likely to get upset about results and less likely to try to cheat th systum.

[@RuinsOfMetal]

If you are running the event along people in your friends list friends (not in your group) you share the same percentage of getting the same thing. If they get a rare mask you get the same one.

133 events run so far this year, and I have only managed to get three rare mask (two from previous years, and one glowing one from this year).... or a rare mask drop rate of 2.26% Fasnacht use to be a fun event that my group use to enjoy and looked forward to. We would plan to be on together and make a day of it in game from around the world - now it is a grind and heartbreak with untradeable plans that we cant share amongst ourselves to help those that missed out, or masks with such a low drop rate in bloated loot pools. At the moment (2023) with the masks we have 5 in the common tier 9 in the uncommon tier 15 in the rare tier Compare this to the original distribution in 2019 5 in the common tier 5 in the uncommon tier 1 in the rare tier So, I think BGS need to rework the event to make it more rewarding and enjoyable - • Revamp the loot pools • Mask pools need to be reworked - the common tier should be say twice the size of the uncommon tier, and the uncommon tier twice (or larger) than the rare tier • Ongoing - move all (or some) rare masks from the previous year into the uncommon tier, and move all (or some) uncommom masks in the common tier to maintain the ratio between the tiers • Correct the tier drop rate, so to the 2019 rates, so that common dropped more frequently than uncommon, which was more common than rare. • Place a "lock out" on rewards to prevent duplication (especially the masks) until all rewards from each tier of rewards are obtained • Remove the "untradeable" flag from plans

I ran Fas 105 times and received 3 rares total luckily one being a glowing. I got Buffon, Demon, Glowing Scorchbeast in that order. So in theory I should’ve received 2 more masks, however after speaking with several others that have done 100 plus I’ve found similar results. It could just be a dozen people with highly unlucky rng, couple that with the 0.33% chance to hit the rare you want and that’s a rough two weeks. Realistically the best thing to do is afk as much as possible just to try and put more numbers in the pool. I will say though all 3 rares I did receive was when I was actively playing and not AFK.

Ive been hitting every camp I could between events trying to find players selling masks I didnt have. those were the only two. I proposed that Bethesda retire the very most common masks, and either have those for sale by an NPC vendor, or plans for crafting the masks, and then lower the drop rate of some of the other masks to help keep player interest in the game going. Not by a huge amount but just so that the event will feel fresh next year. Someone else proposed a token system where you get so many tokens for just completing the even and then a lil extra for being an active participant

[@benanantavara4272]

Why is it so hard for people to understand the word "rare" ? Furthermore, if these were easy to get, nobody would want them.

[@Tinblitz]

I'll still take AFK'ers over the people who wear chameleon effect armour, crouch down behind the donation box and use a program to mash the "Take All" button for hours on end.

[@ashleyreynolds8443]

I've done the event about 30 times now. Haven't got a single rare mask. Got so many uncommon ones I've been dropping them for the guys I play with. Still haven't seen that butter churn either

[@KetoFitChef]

I’ve ran this event 400-500 times since it first came out, only AFK’ing around a dozen times and I have a grand total of TWO Rare Masks that I got last year. I should have 20-25+ Masks at this point!

[@KetoFitChef]

@@Gamer_Aviator and I’ve been participating in it since 2019, so I’m not sure where you were going with that. However, I did just recheck my math and it’s more like 300 times. Fasnacht has run 5+ times since 2019. I run it at around 50-60 times every time we have it. So even with a LOW estimate, that’s still closer to 15 Rare Masks that should have dropped.

[@Gamer_Aviator]

Yeah. I agree. They should have. -NP

[@Gamer_Aviator]

@tChef yeah that's some bad luck. i got almost every rare mask last year and some dupes, like the deathclaw mask i sold. this year i got the rest of the rares i didn't get last year, but i'm missing two of the new rares still. hopefully i get them before the event ends. - oskapt

[@KetoFitChef]

@@Gamer_Aviator I’m not sure if this helps, but I’m starting to think that something having to do with a particular character, whether it’s build, Luck or a Characters ID. I have two characters that are over level 900 that I used since the beginning of Fasnacht and have gotten ZERO Rare masks on those characters to this day. Last year I started a new character that is now level 450. And last year, my first event with that one, I earned TWO Rare Masks. And this morning with that same character, I got the Glowing Scorchbeast Mask. So I’ve gotten ZERO on the 2 characters I’ve ran the even for 5 years and I’ve gotten THREE on the 1 character that I’ve only used the last 2 years. That seems very odd to me.

[@pipelinecowboy]

I'd rather take my chances playing the Powerball then play another one of these events ! It's insanity!

[@Gamer_Aviator]

hahahaha it IS a bit crazy

[@temporary2834]

This made me feel a bit lucky cause I've gotten the raven mask and the glowing SBQ mask so far, but I really want the old man winter PA helmet

[@Gamer_Aviator]

Nice!

[@DavidHornyak-w6x]

Finally got the helmet put it on my union armor and lost the set bonus. In the stash box it went

[@kevinle1841]

That opening scene was nuts

[@markspencer4246]

I ran the event with 17 people 12 were afk Dropped a beret. Afk'd it, got a beret. Ran it with like 9 people all grinding. Got a beret. same server 3 events in a row

[@MrLogan124]

After 60 or so attempts I got 2 glowing masks. The robot one that I was after and the alien mask. 😮

[@christopherzertuche1904]

The only rare mask I’ve been able to snag so far is the Glowing Blue Devil mask

[@therealslimdavee5966]

I got three glowing the firts three days. Since then I've had a Brahmin and thats it.

[@bigbow62]

[@Gamer_Aviator]

Thanks!

[@kevinmckenna7261]

Chucked it after 2 days. Great fun if you don't take it too seriously.

[@doomkitty8120]

Started playing just a few weeks ago, Honestly would pay in any ingame items or even real money to get a Deathclaw mask, this RNG trash is just not worth it, knowing that odds of getting the only mask I want is 0.33% is depressing...

[@bandardantoly]

I don't even care about the glowing masks, I just want a Buffoon.

[@TemporalsonToys]

See they should make the older masks the rarer ones and the new ones more common.

[@Powerlesscheese]

at this point ill just buy the glowing scorchbeast and honey bee masks from the first person that sells them to me

[@Gamer_Aviator]

hahaha. Well, there's "rare" and there's "barely attainable." Bethesda made these rare masks nearly impossible to get.

[@RRRobertLazer]

Wow i fucking love what youve done here

[@Gamer_Aviator]

Thank you!

[@krazykaz8316]

I still have yet to get a Glowing Mask

[@ordinaryfox4408]

Also add the fact that trading sucks in this game so trying to just trade for 1 is shady. Seems the only guaranteed method is to buy it with real cash....

[@robertalexander4310]

I am at over 100 and no rares

[@MichaelsExplorations]

I was doing AFK and got The glowing scorthbeast queen 👑😂I also got a Loone mask

[@Gamer_Aviator]

Dope

[@nathanmurray5860]

The fasnacht event makes the servers run slower.

[@Gamer_Aviator]

yes it does, especially when the servers are full. - NP

[@Quottidomin13]

I got 3 so far, sold one away cheap to whoever went to my vendor, i sold it for 76 caps🤣 kind if don't care for the masks but they are nice to display

[@Gamer_Aviator]

true, but two of them don't display :( Th SB and the SBQ don't render on wall or in glass displays. Hoping they will fix that. -NP

[@Quottidomin13]

@@Gamer_Aviator I haven't tried, i just stash them away but hopefully they fix it

[@wintersteale]

It's NOT a straight up 5% to get a rare. The uncommon drop more due to Bugthesda changing the loot pool a couple years ago. You don't get a rare every 20 or so runs. If it was straight 5% you would have close to 20 rare. The chances of the other masks override the rare most times. Then out of those you have different odds of the different masks in that particular pool. The chances for a rare to drop are actually 0.03whatever %. I don't remember the exact number. They have added too many masks to the loot pool and never changed the odds for a rare so the odds keeps getting much smaller each year. I've been playing for a few years and the only masks I have is 1 loon and 1 glowing blue devil.

[@DadGamerLife]

I have been afk'i g as much as I can and I only got 4 rare masks but all on Friday and 2 were glows that were back to back. Outside of Friday all my other masks have been common and uncommon. The RNG in this game is just a pain in B-hole

[@Goose_Hole_Jabberwocky]

We got all the mask in the new one and all of the rates to include the glowing except for the glowing unicorn. Wife has also right beside me.

[@Gamer_Aviator]

What great luck!

[@Slabbedask]

I have so many masks i have no more space on the wall in my room where i display my rare items. The two last fasnachts have been crazy.

[@nukacolanut6095]

Why not during Faschnat, have random ghouls or scorched around the wasteland wearing masks? More time playing...more exploring. Also, I've noticed that when Graham shows up during Faschnat, it causes the event to not start.

[@Gamer_Aviator]

Yes! We saw him too. What's up with that?
