Recurring Xeno Numbers

[Grand Master Eternal]

Is it just me, or does it seem like certain "joke" numbers tend to occur disproportionately often with Xenos?

Things like 420, 69, 711, 808. Are there just so many of them that there's inevitably going to be a few in the round, or are they programmed to occur more often?

You forgot 404. It's a good one.

There’s about 10 or so joke numbers in the game, that means around 1/100 xenos are joke numbers. If you have 50 or 60 different xenos throughout the entirety match, you’ve got at least a 50% chance to have a joke number each game. Even higher because you can’t have duplicate numbers.

it's completely random

Even higher because you can’t have duplicate numbers.

Wrong, it is possible to have a xeno spawn in with the same number as another. However, it is very rare.

There has been incidents where it did happen, though, and if I recall, someone even posted a picture up of the alien hive list featuring said "clone".

So, with a very, VERY low chance, it might be possible to have two different xenos titled 420, although the chance of this happening is, again, very low.

Devs have confirmed this was stealth fixed to not have duplicate xeno numbers.

Maybe it's just the psychology of the issue. You're hardly going to notice the numbers that AREN'T interesting in some manner.

A very good one, but I couldn't find the file that had my list in it.

I did make a change a month or so ago to prevent duplicate numbers

Well, thank you very much for implementing a quality-of-life improvement.

Why stealth something like that? Seems decent enought to advertise.

I'm going to be honest, I mostly made this thread so that my most replied to thread isn't a ban appeal, but there's been some interesting stuff here.

[Weaselburg]

I mean I remember when we had 69 benos in the hive and 69 muhreens on the ground IN THE SAME MATCH

[AverageSpitter]

666 tho

With that number, going ravager is a must

What if you suck at it? Why not a spitter/sent so you can stunspam?

I think it's more that those number in particular stand out more than regular numbers.

Ancient runner 420 is the best, all other number/caste combos are inferior.
