Soundless / silent glider

with a once a day chance of 1% I don’t see that you’d get a mount every ten days even if you knew the time the rares spawned.
Maybe if you did 10 rares a day (so needing to log on over a ten hour period) you might. Even so meh.

Not that I care too much, I don’t camp these rares. I don’t care enough about a mount I won’t ever use to waste my time. There is just no fun there for me.

ok one every 30 days? is that better? ;p

maybe.

Perhaps you derive some fun out of random spawn times. I wouldn’t want to take that away from you. I’ll continue to not kill rares and you can continue alt-tabbing to forums waiting for the Sha to growl angrily for the 5 seconds he is up.

I think the idea behind it is that it’s supposed to be a hard to get Reward which is available to anyone. So mounts just aren’t supposed to be for everyone.

It’s not down to camping it until it drops. It’s more of a I was there at the right time, kinda deal.

The only tip I have, is that I noticed it has a set spawn length. 8 hours I think. So if want work out what time of day it spawns, it will spawn at the same time the next day. I remember at the tail end of BFA I was there a 1am every night, and there it was. (I can’t remember if that was GMT or Game Time though so good luck :slight_smile: ).

(p.s. I also don’t have it)

Currently I’m running Stratholme and Utgarde Pinnacle daily for mounts.
I’m running Eye, Tempest Keep and Dragon Soul Weekly for mounts. Sometimes if I can be bothered I’ll run Ulduar too.

This is on top of others for pets.

I don’t mind some tedium for a 1% chance at a mount. But not waiting around for a spawn that I’ll probably miss as the rare dies almost instantly.

You’re less likely to get what you actively try for… well in my experience. Got silent glider randomly by just flying by towards dailies back in BFA and some ppl were in the progress of killing soundless.

If it was possible i’d gladly trade it for something I actually want like Junkheap drifter or blazing drake :stuck_out_tongue:

True and I think literally millions of ex-wow players saw it this way. There was a limit how many crazy rng items should be in an expansion before things go unreasonable (varies from person to person) but I think BFA overdid it for most of us.

Got the mount on first try used it once and made a nasty face never used it again.

That feckin drake. the one I need for that achievement…it just won’t drop. So I have to do that RP ridden raid every week…not to mention that bloody dance on the spine…

7 months on various alts it took me, I really began to think that the mount had been removed and Blizzard forgot to tell us.

All that grind did for me is make me hate that raid, since getting the Blazing Drake I now avoid DS :wink:

Every time I see a thread asking for raid lockout on legacy raids to be remove I groan. Please no, once a week is enough for Dragon Soul…

Look. Nobody is against challenge here.
Very much the other way - it’s much more pleasant to achieve something, and in that case the reward is much nicer to get.
But it is illogical to argue that, in this case, the conditions for receiving the award should be equal for everyone.

When I farmed Soundless in BFA it was like: Log in, wait (an hour maximum, usually much less) for group to appear in LFG, slowly flying to spawn point, because it’s almost guaranteed that it will not get killed quickly, kill it, go do other things.

In SL it’s like: Spend all day in Nazjatar, see how player from opposite (or your) fraction one-shots it right in front of your nose, or don’t see it at all. And if eventually you are lucky enough to catch the spawn - say hello to near 0% drop chance.

Is it my fault as a player (or people like me, who are still farming it) that I haven’t got it during BFA ?
The answer is - definitely NO. Because I actively farmed it with many chars since it has appeared.

Is it my fault as a player that in SL conditions for getting it have became much worse if to consider this from end-user experience ?
Again, I don’t think so.

So I apologize, but it seems to me that sarcasm is inappropriate here.
And I will not change my opinion even when I receive it.
Because for any reward, there must be a clear way to achieve the result. Strategy, if you like. Complex or simple is another question.

What’s the strategy for getting it now? Take a break?

and im waiting for other older SL elites hours a day and no group exists …so?
everyone can solo them and doesnt make groups anymore. if you want soundless go make trial accounts warmode/on/off (so 2x chances per realm) on RP realms german/french etc.

For 8 hours each with 0,000…smth drop chance ?
I know what I’m talking about because I have all mounts from rares in SL.
And btw I farmed them solo and none of my characters are part of any guild.
(I can share screenshot from simplearmory as a proof if you wish)

Done this years ago for Huolon, VT, etc. Not just trial, but real chars.
In this case this doesn’t help much.
You need to make a circle around all spawn points with one char, then switch to another.
And eventually you will miss it and spend even more time.
Again - if current spawn time and drop chance will remain the same.
In short, the mathematical expectation of a given model is the same, if not worse.

no for less

soundless is 8 hours??

But not every item and/or mount has to obtainable to everyone. At least it’s still obtainable. If you want it, keep doing what you are doing, one day you might be lucky enough to get it.

Remember there are still people farming Invincible for over a decade.

If not more. Currently I’m flying in Nazjatar (Azjol-Nerub) since 14:00 server time (about 7 hours total, no spawn)

yes it’s 8 hours… but if you honestly want to be spending your Sunday afternoon flying around Nazjatar for 7 hours camping a spawn which can be 1 shot by another player with out you even seeing it, for a 0.1% drop chance Mount, then I wouldn’t complain about it.

Hey scrooge !!! were is your festive cheer . They either need to change drop rate or spawn time as atm its unheathly :wink: :kissing_heart:
