Can Collectors Get Some <3

[Jonbaker-moon-guard]

@Virus-nagrand

I’ve put as much effort into collecting as most people here and i think mostly things are fine, 1% drops are fine because i have always managed to get my drop within 100-300 runs, there were a few that dropped super early and one that took 450 but generally speaking it was ok.

My issue isn’t drop rate. It’s the drop rate and spawn time relationship. To wait an hour, actually doing nothing in game isn’t that fun anymore and to do it for a 1% drop rate, it gets old really fast.

@Virus-nagrand

Weekly lockouts are good, i like doing my 1 attempt per week, it gives me something to look forward to after reset, i like doing my runs like that instead of smashing it non stop for days and days.

Weekly lockouts are good for you if you don’t plan on doing it more than once a week. But dropping lockouts would not affect you whatsoever or your playtime. They are not good for some of us, especially tbc heroics when you are farming tmog. Just makes zero sense to continue the content time gate scheme for legacy content.

@Virus-nagrand

Some things that need to change though would be stuff like Soundless, making random spawn points is a pain in the butt and nobody likes it, they also become nearly impossible to farm when the content is old because nobody likes waiting for others to get there. I’d also make holiday bosses have their mounts drop at 5% or something, also anything under 1% is just cruel (sha, love rocket).

This is why I’d like to see spawn times on legacy content be shortened tremendously. As a player, I want to be efficient with my time. I don’t want to wait. I also don’t want to be a dick so it’s a choice between an outdated gating system and being a dick. It’s just not fun

My problem with this is that Blizzard rarely gives without taking something away, if they’re giving with one hand, they’re taking with the other.

I for one would love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love for Blizzard to announce that stuff will stop being removed from game. For collectors it’s content and we play the long game. The fomo style that Bliz likes to do with some content is just plain terrible.

All I am reading here is:

‘I want the rewards but I don’t want to put in the time, effort and energy required to earn them.’

Perhaps you would be happier playing a mobile game.

It’s as easy as updating a value in the database. Even that seems to be too much work for them.

Can Blizzard turn some more of those usable items into toys? My bank and bags would be so happy.

How about a Dragon Soul skip to Madness? Farming the mount is so tedious….

Even that seems to be too much work for them.

Why would they, though?

This looks like just another “give me free stuff now pls” thread.

While you’re entitled to your trolling, this is not that whatsoever. I don’t want the cheat code for infinite life. Many of us have put in the time and due to rng, we get boned on collecting and economy. Notice how the suggestions were to modify things to create a better experience. Feel free to comment on those individual points.

[Jonbaker-moon-guard]

Obviously you didn’t read a lot of the comments here. This isn’t about free stuff, nor is it about giving us gifts. This is about the RNG nonsense we’ve had to put up with for a long time and expressing our opinions on how older content is treated for collectors. Content should be it’s own reward, not the “gambler high” that game dev’s have been banking on in the current meta of gaming.

This. This all day long. This until the cows come home!

[Nui-feathermoon (Nui)]

Yeah I think they need to rework legacy content more than just a stat/level squish, especially considering they seem to be trying to sweep it under the rug and make only the current expansion and the one prior the only content players see.

Ideas to improve Paragon Reputation rewards

Hello! I’d like to have a discussion about Paragon reputation caches. Paragon caches were implemented in Legion as a (supposedly fun) way to keep us engaged and keep us doing world quests/content to grind out another 10k past exalted for possible rewards inside the cache. It kept world quests relevant beyond the players who would go out to look for the Marks of Honor or Artifact/Azerite/Anima quests. It is an “interesting” system that keeps people going out in to the open world for content wh…

Just like the paragon and so many topics still missing on the community council, there’s a lot of post from collectors and players that would like reward designed as a determenistic goal, that can be achieved by effort and not only RNG.

RNG could exist but with a friendly value, that’s why i always mention that Devs know about that otherwise they wouldn’t had changed the Mecha Done meta achievement during 9.1.5.

Achievements

• The following changes have been made to Mecha-Done

  • Developers’ note: We’re smoothing out the rough edges in this epic meta-achievement to help players who are stuck on one of the more rare elements finally get that wheel mount!

PS: I’m ok with that change even when i got the mount before those changes but that just represent that they’re aware of some level of RNG being toxic among the player base and that they could change it at any moment.

I too am now ok with other’s getting stuff I had to work hard for. I think I, and hopefully most others just want consistency. Things that got nerfed like the insane title etc but than others that Bliz says “It’s a mark of honour.” I realize that yes, we all up tonnes of effort into a lot of things, but I prefer people playing this game and those interactions vs me going “Look I got this mount” and there’s no one around to see it.
