Hundreds of try with multiple alts and still nothing. This is very limited pet since the emissary is only up about once a week. Not even tradalbe pet and this pet can’t battle so what is the reason behind being it this rare?
Just found a guy who got it 3 attempts in or so. Really annoying. Why do I have to give 2-300 attempts to literally every rare pet/mount drops in this game? Why can’t something drop earlier than it shoud? The whole system needs redesign/buff specially old expansion ones. Nobody has 20 hours daily to farm 50 dungeon and raid and spend another 10 hours daily to camp rare monsters for these drops.
Should I really wait for legion remix in a couple years? I mean literally the only way I will get this thing.
it is not rare when someone gets it by 3 attempts and someone still misses it after 100+. It is just not fair. Make it 100+ required for everyone then. This needs to be adressed once and for all for everything.
If you give 100 attempts to anything you deserve to get it specially to something that is this limited.
never got anything earlier than projected by the numbers ever. Seems like rng is never on my side.
The thing is. The game has crazy amount of content if you are into collecting pets mounts etc but it does not appeal to a lot of people because everything has so low drop rate and people just don’t have 20 hours daily to run everything for years till it drop.
actually the problem is not just the RNG, but rather the arbitrary timers or scheduled events with RNG drops where you do not even know if the event or NPC you need is going to be up. So RNG on top of RNG on top of RNG ad infinitum. I think it started with Legion but went into overdrive with BfA with the Mechagon questgivers, Nazjatar murloc items and all that.
This kind of game design is predatory to the marrow. I guess it is “engaging” though. Not even being sarcastic here, because there is some excitement involved in getting know whether something is up today or not. So you can even have a chance at your daily dose of RNG
Yea you just reminded me for an achievement that I miss which is from BFA where you need to kill 4 different color of a panther in Stormsong valley. I’m at 3/4 and still waiting for the last panther to be the exact color I need. This wq is up like once a months and always wrong color so ye this is pretty much the perfect example of RNG in RNG you just mentioned.
It is still crazy to me how the game gets away with all these stuffs. limited time drops/1% drops/RNG in RNG/rares with 2+ hours spawntimer/something is up only once a year etc.
Yeah and if you miss a day where something happens that has not happened in a long time which provides you with the chance to get the item you need (that sounds so convoluted and disturbing, does it not :D) then you might be out of luck for the next few months once again, even if you kept yourself in the loop for half a year.
People that say “RNG is RNG” are either trolling or have not thought about how “RNG is not just RNG anymore”
Yea I agree. I mean I play a lot I farm a lot of these stuffs. I’m like around 650 mounts and almost 1600 pets ~35k achievements without even focusing on achievements. Trust me I’m attempting to drop a lot of stuffs not like I just tried it once and I complain but enough is enough. I have hudnreds of attempts of a tons of raid mounts I just gave up farming because they take too much time and never drop.
I just don’t want to look ahead in the future and say “I will just get it when there is a remix for that expansion” It should not be a fix. And what if I miss remix? People that missed mop remix is doing a disservice for themselves. Like good luck going back to farm the mounts with 1% drops once a week.
I think they should just found a common ground between the game as is and remix. Remix made mop collectibles too easy while without it it is just way too time consuming and hard in many cases. Buff the droprates or make things drop guarantee on the 100th attempt or something while get to keep the 1% between 1-99 attempts.
I’ve got my tinfoil hat firmly wedged on now. I think they coded it so everyone gets at least one bete noir that will not drop for them (until some threshold is met, maybe 1000 attempt, maybe 500 attempts on each faction, could be anything).
For me it’s Blazing Drake, been seeking that wee beastie for years and years.
Every other mount I farmed dropped fairly quickly. Ashes and Deathcharger were over 6 months but that is fine. I have Mimiron’s Head, Invincible, Ashes, Deathcharger, Main Hand Blade of Azinoth (was farming some pet when I got this).
But Blazing Drake is years. There’s a post on these forums by me in 2022 asking about Raid Lockout skips as I’d been after Blazing Drake for years (at that point).
Just curious, could they legally code the game in such a way that it takes individual players´ activity history into account? And perhaps even the gear, re: great vault?
Not saying that it is being done like that, just whether legally there are any obstacles to doing so.
Not sure on the legalities of RNG-Throttling but my crackpot theory is a purely results oriented analysis of my Dragon Soul farming anecdotal data. So almost 100% proven.
Oh 100% the drops are rigged on many levels almost every aspect of the game. Keep in mind that they don’t want you to get everything in 2 weeks or they think you would quit.
I miss that one too but gave up. Also hundreds of attempts on many raid/dungeon mounts too like mimiron’s head, raven lord, blue drake, LK, ashes, alysrazor mount etc but gave up because just no time to run this many of raids every week. It is just way too time consuming. I still run some modern raids which has skips and it takes like 2minutes to get to the last boss though.
Skip works in Firelands and Ulduar, possibly ICC but I’ve heard that one no longer works.
You need to keep a lockout on an alt and use LFG to share it and you can skip to the last boss. I’ve used this for Mimiron’s Head. Also tried Firelands a bunch of times but nothing from there yet.
I’ve done the trick in Firelands and Ulduar recently (months ago). Not tried ICC for years but did hear that one was nerfed.
I did try in Dragon Soul too but couldn’t get it to work on normal nor heroic.
The thing that really irks me is how I feel that they will leave the Zaralek zone as is in DF after the expansion ends. And the timed rares too. And the timed events too.
Everything is on a schedule or timer which makes coming back later to complete the activities whenever you want to really burdensome. I dislike that to a great great extent.
