Blizzard what are you thinking? This is the very definition of insanity.
You had it right in Legion when we could kill it once per day at a 1% chance and if we didn’t get it oh well try again tomorrow.
I tried farming soundless but sadly most groups for him stop getting posted after the first month. Unless it’s just a nice person who’s trying to help out stranger (love those people) but still what are you thinking?
It’s painful enough to just fly to where the mob spawns and hope we get a 1% shot at a mount. Now you want to put a 3/4/5 hour spawn timer on some of them?
This is worse than pandaria raid bosses, at least we know those are going to spawn soon.
Unless it’s a world boss or something a small group of 3 can’t kill most people WILL NOT POST GROUPS! (outside those couple of nice people). Some geared chars just pop cd’s and explode them so you can camp for hours go pee and still miss it.
So blizz… do the right thing. Make them spawn like all the others… 10min ish or something. Cause 1% is 1% and 1%+waiting = very very very unfun. Don’t be proud blizzard. Fix this!
Everything in BfA’s and especially 8.3’s design is meant to be unnecessarily tedious and unrewarding to the point that you just don’t do it.
They want it to take longer, like the dailies, and instead most people just ignore them. They really are that stupid over at Blizzard. It is what it is.
With the dailies you can tell that the team was tasked with “design content that takes X amount of time per day that will last Y amount of months.” And we got what we got based on those basic requirements.
Actually it isn’t worse that pandaria raid bosses, those originally had a long respawn rate.
From 2012.
Galleon will always spawn just south of the Silken Fields, in the Valley of the Four Winds. Currently, he has a long, 4-5 day respawn timer.Oct 8, 2012
I … kinda … feel for you collector people … it’s masochism with how Blizz loves to stretch out the ounce of play time so you farm for 092358203 hours if RNG isn’t on your side, let a lone people not calling out anymore lol
I thought I read that they dropped the loot chance down to .5%
I do agree that it should have a lower spawn timer especially if they did drop the loot chance down to .5%
exactly this. the whole design now is to be as tedious, and frustrating as possible. this expansion was bad enough without them doubling down on this in 8.3. they actually took it up several notches. it’s like they are just trolling us now.
It’s stupid because I like doing most parts of the game. I like M+, raiding, ect ect.
It feels like blizzard wants people who collect to just do that and only that 24/7 and even then maybe not get all the stuff you want.
It’s a system set up to fail people who collect. And if you like other parts of the game, well good luck. If you want to raid and M+ and keep up with any kind of progression well have fun doing both. Actually it’s not fun, that’s my point, blizz make wow fun again.
Like I said Legion Argus had the best system you ever made for this stuff. Just copy that, everyone loved it. Is it up? Yes! 1% let’s go! Did I get it , No? Well I get another shot probably tomorrow. Best system far and away.
I think it is a good thing that people who want to devote themselves to that part of the game can and can get things that others don’t get because they devote themselves to other parts of the game.
It really doesn’t fail the people who collect. It rewards the people who put the time and effort into that activity.
What you seem to be asking for, is a system akin to people doing LFR being able to get mythic raid gear across the board.
This makes Pandaria world bosses @ 1:2000 but 20 minute spawn time sound “too easy” for you. Is that why you don’t have those?
Nope. It’s unhealthy for the game to create so many “rewards” where the best you can say about the ordeal you went through for achieving it is “the long nightmare is over”.
A lot of people could spend more time in current content if they weren’t stuck in old content with a drop rate designed to exploit people who want that reward.
One of the really annoying things about old school Everquest was waiting around for rare spawns with rare drops. It was an annoying time sink. You weren’t actually playing the game, you were afk waiting for the game to happen.
I wish they’d stop doing this. I want to play the game, not be logged in but watching TV or playing on my phone instead.
It is bad, unfun game design.
If it’s a rare drop, make the mob up most all of the time. If it’s a rare spawn, make it drop it most of the time. Rare mobs with rare drops are no damn fun.
A lot of people who devote themselves to collecting, don’t WANT to play in current content. Playing in current content isn’t considered a good thing to many people.
