We have the exact same gauntlet...For people without Guinan this is a complete mess.

I am also going to sit out the Gauntlet and wait 24 hours for the next one. This one was ridiculous.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

Sigh.....
I thought support were supposed to have been told to stop ignoring us?

Uh, was definitely back-to-back for me. Started a new one an hour after the last one ended and it had the same traits.

I understand that’s how it appeared to you. It was the same for me.
What I’m saying, which isn’t to contradict you, is that there was a gauntlet that fired right after the first Guinan one. But depending on when your gauntlets started/ended, you would never have seen it. Not all gauntlets start and stop at the same time for everyone.
So (I’m making the names up) Gauntlet A1 started, Gauntlet B started and then Gauntlet A2 started again. In this case, Gauntlet A1 overlapped so you never saw Gauntlet B, and you went straight from A1 to A2.
It was just an extra bit of data I mentioned, but it’s not germane to yours or my experience.

Well, okay, if you wanna get technical.

You are right.
Which is a sentence that’s never been written in the entire history of the Internet.

Interesting to see that you had a CS rep who is very detail-oriented helping you out! I've highlighted your quote with the interesting parts in bold-italics.
If you ever figure out how to ctrl-alt-delete on an android device, or even play STT in an android browser, please let me know! I would like alternative playing experiences too!
By the way, how does one "securely" or "insecurely" connect to the internet? Or did they mean something like "screw in the cable tightly"?
Why? It's a very unhelpful response (the support, not you), I was hoping it might actually reach the attention of someone who wanted to support the players?
The mods will pull it down at some point. Not sure why they have this policy as you would think they would want to know when their staff is clueless. I have had a few that probably have never even loaded the game and those should be called out IMO and I have some that have been great to work with ,knowledgeable and quick and they should likewise be praised but current forum rules won't allow for either.
The problem is that it is not the same problem for everybody. Both versions of Guinan require a certain luck with the RNG (or completing a large number of dilemmas for a copy of Fierce Guinan)
Players who don't have Guinan are going up against a wall of an extremely hard to beat character (I lost against her with a character who had two very strong stats against her one stat because she got three crits in a row).
Coming up against wall after wall of the character time after time just makes the entire thing a joke.
I also don't buy the bad luck on the RNG front (especially when there is apparently an offset Gauntlet in between). The chance of the same three stats coming up like this one after another has to be pretty low (unless the pool the RNG is picking from has the three stats clumped together)
It does have them clumped. It does not randomly pick three skills out of a list. It picks from a list of set gauntlets. Travis has a list somewhere on the forums, and I think there's one on the wiki, that tracks the number of occurrences for each set of traits. Given the numbers there, the only explanation is that they are indeed clumped.
Edit: This also **tsk tsk** for people with Guinan. Just saying.
If that was your intention, Shan and other mods are usually more than happy to discuss such things in PMs, which will actually get a response rather than people using @s and the mods getting sick of telling people that that actually does nothing when you're using it for a moderator.
It's a much more effective way of communication, at least in my experience. (:
Thanks, having the three stats clumped together would really drop the likelihood of this happening down into reasonable terms. It means that different gauntlets have been designed to favour different characters rather than a random free for all.
Although I believe that one gauntlet one of my fleet mates had resulted in a combination of stats that matched none of the existing cards - which would seem rather odd from a "set pool" of traits basis
But it really does **tsk tsk** for those who don't have Guinan (especially as they have already suffered at the hands of the RNGods in not getting her!)
Some of the gauntlets don't have anyone above 25% iirc. Some of them don't have any above 45%. It's a nice change of pace.
Running into walls of 65% legendary characters when the best you can come up with is a 25% is hardly what i would call a change of pace.
Rubbing your nose in it would be a better expression.
That's not at all what I was saying.
I was saying that in some gauntlets, there are no crew in the entire game who match more than one or two traits. So there are no 65%s. Period. No one you come up against has a 65%, because there are no existing crew in the game with more than one matching trait.
I have never personally noticed this. Occasionally the 65% character in my crew has such bad stats that it is not worth bringing them into play (so you might see other players using it).
The solution here is to just take 5 Guinans to this gauntlet.
I know there was once a gauntlet with the traits hunter, bajoran, and astrophysicist.
What he said x2 (I don't think anyone had much of any streaks going - even if you did have Guinan - 50% chance she was getting KO'd by another Guinan).

and yes, now we have a better one, thanks!
