I've seen Sandgiant Husam more times that I can count

If you're seeing him, then you're doing it wrong.
Keep in mind, night time is set from 9pm to 7am on P99.

Well something is wrong with something, and it isn't on my end.

Don't blame someone else when it is your own strategy or bad luck that is to blame.

I think he lacks the understanding of stats, lets say it is 10% just because you killed him 9 times doesn't mean he will spawn that 10th time. Each kill and 10% spawn chance is a separate event. Such as flipping a coin, just because you get 10 tails in a row doesn’t mean you’re anymore likely to get a heads on that 11th flip, it’s still 50/50.

The expected value is still getting the spawn after 10 spawns.

No... It's not. Take a probability and statistics class please. You have just as much chance (10%) of getting the spawn on the first go around as you do on the 10th try.

He also cannot read that well. Or count. Poor guy.

I've been camping the AC with him today.
This camp is a real nightmare.
Wondering if it's worse than quillmane/pyjzn camps [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I know the OOT AC is a good bit tougher, but if you’re able to do that camp I would suggest it. If I was concerned about the spawn timer or trigger being broken, I would differently try the OOT.

[rioisk]

Definitely do OOT camp it will save you the headache.

True, I wasn't trying to be an ass; I just meant that you could possibly just have some terrible luck, as you said it can even skip a cycle lowering your chances even greater. I would say go to OOT, from the sounds of it and with another person it is a viable option for you guys. I have gotten/helped camp the ring 3 times there and gotten it in under 6-7 hours every time. Also how anoying would it be if it did spawn and someone running through killed it? That is why I always hated the SRO one, lost at least 2 AC's on live due to people ks'ing.

I could probably handle the OoT camp (40 necro) provided someone else isn't already there. I had a friend sitting with me for a few hours last night to make sure I didn't get KSd during 'prime time'.

If you're seeing him, then you're doing it wrong.

I've seen him at night and during the day. What am I doing wrong?

If you think there are 4 mobs that spawn in the same spot and that the PH is not a 30-31 minute timer, then yes something is wrong on your end.

Yea it was 3...30+ hours of no sleep and my positioning made it look like that random a zombie was in there, too.

What I don't understand is I'm doing the EXACT same thing I did when I got them on live with my SK and that only took 45 minutes.

Got it today in OoT after a little over 6 hours. Two people after me camped AC for about another 20 hours in SRo, still has yet to spawn.
