And what is the point beneath this? How the overall gameplay will suffer if the spawn timer will be 15 minutes instead of random 4-8 hours with the same 0,0000… drop chance ?
Don’t see any problem here. Got most of the legacy raid mounts years ago.
Just compare time for a 1 char try: 20min/week VS 8hrs/day
The idea of the mount/rare isn’t supposed to be one that you go out and camp/farm.
It’s a more of a “it was up when I was there, and I killed it and the mount dropped” kinda mount.
I still go back and look for it from time to time, but sitting around for 8 hours waiting for it to spawn… no thanks, I got better things to do with my life.
If I’m not mistaken - TLPD is 100% drop chance. So the day you start farming it is the day you are getting it (if you’re diligent enough). Ok, maybe 2 or 3 days total.
Here we have situation like TOTAL HELL = TLPD random spawn * 0,000… drop chance
Ok, then lets make any aspect of the game like this (if it is considered as “Fun” and “Fair”).
Like getting top PVP/PVE gear for entering some random portal, or leveling up on random days at a random time, waiting 1-8 hours with a random chance to enter dungeons etc.
Sounds absurd ?
Then why do you think this idea is ok for this certain mount ?
I’ve heard same ideas about Void Talon, Frightened Kodo and others. But I’ve got them easily. Becuase again - you either need to camp/search a lot, but you have 100% drop chance. Either you have 0,0000… drop chance but you don’t need to wait like Invincible, Ashes of Alar and many others.
I dunno, I have no problem with how it is implemented, and I have no problem with them putting more mounts in the game with a similar spawn time and drop chance. Provided they are just recolours and the model is available else where.
As I said before, there is no need to collect everything. But if you want to, then that is what you need to do to get it.
For the 3rd time, I still drop by Nazjatar from time to time to check on Soundless. If it drops any time I’m there, I’ll be pleased. But I don’t expect them to change anything for me.
It’s 1 recolour mount with a rare spawn and low drop… it is what it is.
The point is, it was on an 8 hour spawn timer with a 0.1% drop rate even when it was current. So there are many people who were farming it when it was current who can’t get it anymore. So saying get it whilst it’s current isn’t particularly helpful in any situation :).
Moving on to the next mount and check back from time to time is the most helpful advice to give.
Many of these rare spawns should have received some attention long time ago in a form of a brief invulnerability after being pulled. Anything between 5-30 seconds which was expected time for them to die while the content was still level-appropriate. Just long enough so everyone can get the tag and that the mob doesn’t die to a single hit from one party.
