Lucky Hochei tactic? - Guild Wars Forums

Hey,

I was wondering if the best way to win at Lucky Hochei's game of rock-paper-scissors was to constantly do the same move, or is there a pattern, or if I just have to pray and rely on instincts? XD

Thanks in advance!

(Yes, I know its slow)

It is completely random.

Anybody saying otherwise is just suffering from some form of gambler's fallacy. You'd win just as often (over the long term) playing /rock 1000 times in a row as you would if you went /rock /paper /scissors in a cycle every 3 games. No strategy, not tactic.

My tip... just use the same thing over and over again. That way, you can just hit the "up arrow" key and "enter" over and over again to play. Makes it much easier and you can probably watch tv while doing it once you get the timing down.

Yeah I got a good tactic for him. Unless you can 4+ account all-roll-at-once-keybind, then forget about him and just farm 250 tokens/hour and turn them in for fortunes/bags... The time you waste sitting by him to convert tokens (~30 seconds per win/loss [20 per win/loss/tie]) is both annoying and COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE.

SRSLY. Even if you can control 4 accounts at once, not worth the bother. They really should have made this like the boardwalk games, where you essentially AFK gamble with tickets/tokens in inventory. The time you loose still makes "llama hacker" a mega-looser in 'points'/hour - but if you could AFK him, it wouldn't be that huge an issue (gotta sleep sometime)...

I had 2 accounts and went from 1 to other for about an hour and a half while drunkard, and betting rock/paper (and rock/scissor, and paper/scissor). Too slow really to be affective. Best bet - 30 minutes to create a new lvl 5, another ~hour to complete 5 quests for 125 tokens and 2p+ (duo it for 250 tokens/4p)...

Converted around 100 tokens with LH in that 1.5 hours, have ~700 more to go...
