Rigged Voyage rewards

Wildstar19

So I have 2 accounts (don't ask why, long story). 1st one started near the game's inception in 2016. 2nd one in spring 2019. Like most players, I run voyages constantly on both accounts.

The last week & a half I've noticed a disturbance in the Force: I'm getting the same random 4* crew rewarded on both account voyages simultaneously.

Last week. Voyage on account 1 - "randomly" awarded Warship Yar. The NEXT DAY - Voyage on account 2 - "randomly" awarded Warship Yar. I've never been rewarded with that crew ever on both accounts in any part of the game - now both get her on back-to-back days? Not random.

This week it's happened twice:
Voyage on account 1: awarded Riva crew. Next day voyage on account 2: awarded Riva crew.

Next set of voyages for both:
account 1: awarded the Hansens crew. account 2: awarded the Hansens crew today.

THIS CANNOT BE RANDOM. The odds of this happening 3 times in less than a week is not RNG - it's rigged.

WR/TP: Fix your 4* crew voyage rewarding algorithm please - it's broken (unless for some strange reason you're doing it on purpose)

@Wildstar19 Hi. 🖖🏻. I too have multiple accounts and notice things like this. I have rcv those same crew in my voyages over the past few weeks. Often it has correlated to an upcoming event variant crew or trait bonus.
It does seem that particular cards drop more in anticipation of events, helping the players obtain what they need to participate.
The last 4 events “Ignite, Forests are forever, pecking order, Risk of responsibility” contained existing 4* cards Shran, Flotter, Tallin, and Trader Odo.
I had each of those 4* crew drops in my voyages previous to the event intro, and i saw some in various portal packs. As well as an increased drop ratio of Crusher(s), Archer(s), Worf(s) for example.
So i agree it is “rigged” as you say. However, IMO, the increased drop ratio is to help players not annoy them.

Sorry, I don't adhere to that theory. i seriously doubt "helping" us is their motivation. These are 4* crew we're talking about here - it's extremely rare I use a 4* crew in any event except for the event crew themselves. Riva is worthless for any event, any time. I airlocked both copies of him immediately. If they really wanted to "help" us, they could give us copies of crew were already have & need to fuse.

Well…..agreed on the logistics and opinion of “helping”. It just may be that opinions of “free help” differ at WRG. They may blv old mostly useless cards can be helpful.
Yar for instance carries the duelist trait that may have helped younger players during the recent “pecking order” i blv duelist was a bonus trait.
I also have recently had several voyage drops of Silik. He was event crew during “thaw”. Nobody wants a 1/4. If they give you a copy in a voyage, younger players may appreciate the added drops. This way a 4/4 is possible.
These things were planned specifically by WRG for newer players to be able to get immo and collection bonuses. If I recall it was all discussed during voyage beta conversations. The voyage 4* drop rate and pool definitely changes or increases surrounding events, IMO.The portal pool is so deep now that even pulling an enormous amount of packs wont give a player that many complete cards to immo. It seems the same increased % of 4* drops continue for about 6 wks when changed.
