how do the game make choice on who to assign ectos to?
rugal nuker
lets say,do a dual uw run,how do the game decides who this ectos goes too when a ecto drops? and can a person get 2 ectos in a roll?

I'm pretty sure it's just random, you can get two of anything else in a roll, so I don't think ectos are an exception, just rare.

it's 50/50 depending on your character name --- if it starts with a-m, you get it.

it's completely random... if u have 2 players in the group... 50% chance the item that drops is urs... has nothing to do with ur name...

All your ectos are belong to me.
Seriously it's random just like all drops.

Spin 4 times while in combat clockwise for ectos in UW and 2 times anti-clockwise in FoW for shards.

The game checks to see if I'm in the party - then assigns the ecto to someone else.

In a related question, how many monsters do you usually have to kill to get an Ecto drop?
I was in the UW for 3 hours on Friday night, and not a single Ecto dropped for anyone in the party.
