Fallen charger was a waste of time i guess

Blizzard’s update for fallen charger -

  • It will now drop an appropriate amount of [![]

  • It will now incur the daily loot lockout when you kill it.

  • We’ve increased the drop chance of the Reins of the Fallen Charger by 3x.

80+ kills on fallen charger and has the mount.

When the patch dropped I and plenty of others were happy that blizz actually added a new mount that you could receive in the same sense of the way that tlpd dropped, waiting hours and hours for it to spawn and hoping that when it finally did that you were close enough to actually kill it and maybe even have the mount drop. Many of us were actually happy as well that the drop rate was quite low so that when it finally dropped it would remain rare for some time afterwards and not every player would be running around with it. Sadly with blizzard good things cannot last longer than two weeks apparently as players like me and many others who didn’t get to participate in many things from the new patch for the first two weeks due to being busy sitting in the maw waiting 12+ hours for a horse to spawn only to find out now that our efforts were for nothing because for the first time in a while blizz finally listened to there player base. However it wasn’t well warranted feedback from the players they listened to, It was the same people that whine about mount drop rates and wait times. Hopefully in the future blizz can actually grow some balls and add stuff to the game thats difficult to obtain.

So now fallen charger will no longer be my main ground mount and will just be another horse that sits in my mount journal and collects dust with the hundreds of other useless easily obtainable mounts.

So what?

I expect 9.1 to be as long as 9.0, pace yourself because there won’t be anything new to do for a while.

I think it’s funny that you feel the mount was difficult to obtain. I was already seeing it all over the place, because people could hop from group to group and get multiple chances at it in a short period of time. Sure, you could just sit in one group and wait for hours for it, too, but a lot of players weren’t doing that.

But if having something that others don’t have makes something worthwhile to you instead of it just looking like something you want to use, you wouldn’t be using the Fallen Charger for long anyhow.

I did it once, waited around 12 hours and didn’t get it. Realized it wasn’t worth wasting all that time, so I began only joining the “fallen up” groups, got after 12 tries, took me 40 minutes at most lol

jumping group to group is how i ended up getting the mount, the main point of the post is how easy blizz has been making it to get these mounts

I mean as the expansion goes on itll just become harder to get it since there’ll be less people looking for it in the maw

Even with 3x drop chance increase it could still take 80 kills

not a chance it will take 80 kills. drop is like 15% now

I’m understand your frustrations OP, but wait groups are a form of degenerate gameplay in my opinion, and something had to be done about them as well as group finder grinding. The developers made the right call.

Nah rng is rng
I’ve had 1% mounts take 700

And with having less groups as time goes on the time investment from being unlucky will go up

Yeah it could take 80 or more kills but only 0.00022% of players will have that happen to them lmao.
99% of players will get the drop by 28 kills.

With the original drop rate of 5% the 99th percentile was at 90 attempts.

13

OP gonna cry because others can get the mount

14

Its still going to happen

I expect a solid 50 for me

15

Rng on spawn timer (what tlpd had) And rng on drop? Yeah, nah, modern rare mounts are trash.

16

cope, you are the reason wow blows nowadays go play ff if u want non rng mount drops

They did this with Soundless in Naz’jatar, too.

Blizz, pick one.

  • long respawn
  • low droprate

Not both!

The only way Blizz could make the charger as bad as soundless would be to make the boss that drops it tameable by hunters.

Hi, can you please describe the problem you have with the Soundless mount? From my view, having it act as both a rare spawn with a low drop rate helps enhance the uniqueness of the mount. At the same time, everyone still has a chance to get it! Keep in mind that Soundless is not on a shared spawn like TLPD and Aeonaxx are.

They quadrupled the drop chance and all you can do is whine about all the kills you did before the buff? Just be happy that you’ll soon get it.
