Agreed, I do it once a day, no mount. Well who cares anyway. Might try next year.
Can we get 100% mount drop for last day?
The real MLG move would be to incorporate old mounts into Dragonriding. Gratz on the mount. I’ve been running the event 60 chars per day, every single day, and I haven’t even seen anyone in my groups obtain the mount.
Sorry to hear you haven’t got it yet
Yes one solution would be to get all old mounts into Dragonriding but personally i just prefer the old way of flying.
Not even asking for more speed just the ability to use my old mounts and the old way of flying.
I like to farm herbs and veins and enjoy the scenery,unfortunately Dragonriding just took the fun out of it.
Hoping they do this on a future update,not asking to take anything away,Dragonriding fans will still have the same thing,we just ask to be given options.
Thanks. for nothing.
Sadly I woke up too late for a last attempt so… next year it is.
Maybe the 1st box drop will get a proper increase to 3%. That would be neat, and it could give you a realistic chance to see the mount.
I didn’t like this update during the event and I still think it shows Blizzard isn’t 100% in touch with their community.
I got the mount this year. I don’t ride the mount as much as I thought because it just feels I didn’t deserve it and puts anyone who didn’t get it down. That sucks.
The update just went completely against anyone that put in the effort to gather insane amounts of alts for this event. If you spent the last 10 years leveling 50 alts for this specific occasion, just for Blizzard to release THIS update, you’d be pretty pissed.
An overall drop rate increase would have made a way better update and would’ve proved that you actually read the communities comments. The way you’ve designed it was clearly a ploy to get those addicted to pay up more, or to lure people back into the game.
Those that truly have put the work in are on the same playing field as everyone else and that is garbage.
(I only had 15 alts running this dungeon, so I am firmly in the middle of these two groups)
So you have 50 characters above level 60 and ran this event every day on those 50 characters and didn’t receive the mount this year and you’re still happy with the update?
You enjoyed wasting several hundred hours of your time when other people spend 1 minute and got it first try this year?
You might be the 0.01% of players my man.
Very strange defense. What part about leveling all the alts and still not getting it was fun for you? What was the fun part about wasting hundreds of hours?
I demand some compensation!
I leveled up tons of alts slow-slow via BGs just to be able to farm the rocket.
And for what!!!.. I got it with my first try of the day
So many hours, days lost of my life just to level up alts…
I want some compensation! ActiviSion, Microsoft or whoever is in charge… give me the “bigboi” mount or 5-10 mil gold!
I got the mount, I honestly couldn’t care less what they do with it at this point from a personal perspective. I was giving feedback for other players that still don’t have theirs.
I have no problem with a drop rate increase, but it should have been a reasonable increase to every single box obtained. Not an increase for only your first of the day.
Having the update being the way it is, means people who have spent close to thousands of hours preparing multiple characters have basically the same odds as someone who doesn’t even know the mount exists.
Sure that’s fair in one way because everyone’s getting the same chance, but you’ve let down a large amount of people that have put in probably millions of hours combined by doing it the way they did.
It didn’t feel bad not getting it before, because it was so slim. But now if you don’t get it, you just had bad RNG on your first try and now you’ve just feel like any attempt after that is even more of a time waste than ever before.
That feels bad. If you enjoy feeling bad, that’s on you.
This update just made me more bored, lucky guys got it first try then the hardcore farmers sits doing on 50 chars and nothing, i think this is the most worste update i have ever seen
Just make it 1% all tries, not just first.
I’m not sad, I have the mount.
When I was attempting to get it, after not getting it on your first attempt each day, it felt extremely bad to go through your alts knowing you had the same chance as before to get it.
Before they updated it, having no chance to get it was the whole point. After updating it, once you miss your first chance it ruins your mood for the rest of the day after your first attempt. It felt way worse after the update to not get it and that is bad for player retention. People care a lot about these things.
Updating the drop chance overall for each crate would have made more sense, at least making you feel like each attempt was worth as much time as the last. And even if you didn’t get it, at least you tried. You would have felt bad but not as bad.
This is feedback. This isn’t me crying to get Blizzard to give me the rocket I already have. This is feedback, on the forums. I’m not trying to debate with you on a subject, I am giving feedback to the creators of the game about how I feel their update affected people and how they might want to approach it in the future.
According to WoWhead. At the beginning of the seasonal I checked and it said 3% of profiles have this mount. Now it says 7%. The reason I checked is because it dropped for me. If it had never have dropped for me I would never have cared or thought to notice that 4% jump.
Quite a big jump in profiles who have it now, I say.
I agree 4% jump in one year alone , but watch out for people ready to shake pitchforks at you !!
My back is well armoured haha!
Though it’s nice seeing people get more mounts (I very much enjoy my love rocket) and I don’t hate any boost in drop rates either, I just feel like this wasn’t really in tune with what players would have preferred.
An overall drop rate for all crates, less than the chances of the first each day, but better than before on the rest would have been the best fix. If you wanted to spend the extra time it would at least feel worth it. I just recommend to Blizzard to avoid these weird RNG+ RNG + time gate based things out in future!
I got zero feeling of exhilaration when it dropped, The others had left before they noticed. . I feel a wee bit guilty for people who really feel they need it for their collection. I have been insanely lucky in this game with mounts.
One out there, whacky thing i have noticed is that when I get these drops I have been unsubbed and my time has been close to running out, maybe that’s just me.
The flip side of the coin is. Once You get these mounts, these annual, daily runs become meaningless and there is no reason to do them other than levelling alts.
Dataforazaroth % has doubled pretty much, and is now more common than my current favourite EBG mount Otto. I’ve stopped using the Rocket during the holiday now it’s no longer super rare. It’s fugly so there doesn’t seem much point.
