I wasn't sure where to post this, it could be just a really huge coincidence kind of thing, but it's really quite strange.

Ever since I joined I never caught a wild Roc. Caught isn't even the right word. I never even saw one. Until I build the Cartographers Guild I didn't think much of it really. I figured I just always missed them.

But now that I have the Cartographers Guild I still haven't seen a single Roc. I built the guild on march 8th, so that's 11 days without a Roc and if we just assume I really never had a Roc on the map since I joined, that's roughly 24 days.

It just strikes me as a huge coincidence?

Edit: Just to clarify, when I say I never "saw" one I'm talking about them never being in the logs and never being visible with the guild either. It's like they don't exist for me. xD

Edit II: Just to show the logs, they only go back to the 11th though. (Click the small picture to go to the bigger, readable one)

You might have to catch some of the animals currently roaming to free a den up so that a roc can generate.

Oh, trust me, I'm catching pets left and right. If I would have to guess how many pets I caught since I joined, I would say... 30-50? Often the map is completely empty because I caught everything again.

Don't know then, it seems quite odd to me.

i can go 5 days without seeing a particular pet, but 11 is a bit much. Hey, you know what would be a great member perk? faster den refill.

After all this time, a Roc finally appeared just now. Phew. Not a bug, just a really weird coincidence, yay. Can be closed. :3

Sorry, I just get to this thread. The probability of spawning a pet of every species is equal. Although any statistics is hard to observe on a single player level. There are can be coincidences like not getting the certain species for 2 weeks or getting only one species for several days.

Sorry once more for not replying earlier.

No worries, Angel. :3 I'm just glad a Roc finally decided to join the fun on my map after ~3 weeks, lol. Sorry for the inconvenience of a wrong bug report. :)
