Why Can't I Get a Glowing Mask?

-

I’m currently a level 600 player and have participated in numerous Fasnachts, always playing actively instead of AFK. However, despite my efforts, I’ve never managed to receive a glowing mask from the event. Last night, I received a notification that I got the glowing prefix for my name, but when I checked my inventory, it was just a pig instead of the glowing mask I was hoping for. My friends have been generous enough to give me some glowies since they don’t collect them, but I’m starting to wonder what I’m doing wrong. Is there a specific reason behind this, or is it just a matter of bad luck? A friend of mine got two glowing masks in back-to-back events, so it feels like my time is long overdue!

Honestly, it all comes down to luck! I’ve been playing at the same level and just recently got my first glowing mask after participating in a couple of events. RNG is just unpredictable like that; you can grind for ages and still not get what you want, while others hit the jackpot right away!

Exactly! I thought I was unlucky too, but after a few events, I finally got a glowing one. It’s all about the odds, frustrating as it is.

It really sounds like bad luck, especially since you’re doing everything right by participating actively. I remember last year I got a glowing unicorn on my first event, but this time around, I’ve only managed to snag a couple of other masks. I heard that they might have lowered the drop rates this year, which could be making it tougher for everyone to get something good! Don’t lose hope, though—keep grinding!

Don’t worry about it too much. It’s just how the randomness works; it can feel rigged sometimes, but patience is key!

Yeah, I’ve seen more people walking away with rare masks this year. It’s pretty lame how RNG can screw us over like this. Good luck to ya!

It’s just plain ol’ bad luck, my friend! You’ve got only a 0.2% chance of getting a specific glowing mask with each event. So even if you do a hundred events, you might still not see one drop. Keep at it—you’ll get that shiny mask eventually! Just remember that the odds are against us, and that keeps the grind interesting!

You explained it perfectly! It’s all numbers—no guarantees, just roll the dice every time!

Right? I AFK’d one event and unexpectedly got the glowing pig mask. It was such a surprise! You never know when luck might strike.
