Invincible is a problem

So what I am seeing…is that not only is this guy lying about the drop rate, since we can all just go look on WoWhead…
But they were also lying about how many times they killed it?
I got Invincible after doing it weekly on at least 10 characters from like…Cataclysm-ish, all the way too about the release of Tomb of Sargeras back in Legion.
So minimum, a solid 3,640 plus/minus about 300, because I added to the roster with a Monk, and a DH and a second Warrior…blah, blah blah, like 3800 kills.

Dude didnt even come up to 121.

Damn, kinda makes me wonder how many times I missed a character on any given week.

435

Not Exactly. 1000 kills would be 1000 attempts at a drop that is .77% chance to drop each time. So, you’re still under 1% per attempt.

436

As someone else who has farmed for Invincible many times on lots of chars (unsuccessfully)… it’s ok there is a lot more to this game than one mount.

437

I’ll tell you what is a problem, dragonsoul. I’m so sick of this raid.

438

Math is a problem.

439

No, more of a deductive logic if anything, comprende?

Now back the hellhole called dragonsoul, I just need one mount, that’s it. Then I’m done with that place.

440

that is the funny thing about about statistics, they are not always right. It might be .77% but RNG is RNG.

441

LMAOOOO I love this, Tovi the unsung hero

442

Even if he had killed the guy 2600, that is not how statistics work. It is not a drop chance over the whole history of kills, it is a drop chance for every SINGLE kill. THat means each kill he has a chance to drop the mount at a rate of .77%. That also means he has a 99.33% NOT to drop the mount. Meaning no matter how many times you kill, he probably wont drop it.

443

90% of all statistics are useless, 80% of the statistics proves it.

444

I’ve now had Life-Binder’s Handmaiden drop at least 3 times. But I can’t get the Ultraxion or Deathwing mounts for the life of me. Been farming that raid off and on for 3 expacs now.

Honestly only for that xpac. When the next expansion comes along I could care less about how rare a persons mount is.

446

I really do think they should add some kind of bad luck protection. 2600 attempts should not be a thing for anything in this game.

447

I don’t believe they tried that many times. Neither did this guy:

Invincible’s drop rate is not that bad. These two people are claiming old MoP world boss drop rates which were 0.01%. I think both of these people are burned out and it just feels like they killed H LK thousands of times.

Invincible is 0.5 to 1% like all raid boss mounts.

448

I literally said that in one of my posts.
The drop rate, currently, is a 5% droprate.
not after ya, just putting it back up so you and others can know lol.

449

Just like the OP, I’m not going to believe it took you 3800 H LK kills to get the mount unless you post your 10 toons with roughly 380 kills on each one.

450

The only problem I see is people thinking they have to have everything, which is preposterous.

Besides the obvious of this not really being how statistics and drop rates work, I agree with OP’s sentiment.

Personally, I’d advocate for bad luck protection or a token system.

Signed ~ someone who did UBRS about 200 times in vanilla and never even saw a Deathstriker drop to even have a chance at rolling for it.

Funny you say that, because it is my own personal experience that led me to just assume that OP was telling the truth about how many runs. It is a 5% drop rate. That is exceedingly low, even now.

You don’t have to believe anybody. I mean, I am disabled and have a lot of free time which makes things more understandable as to why somebody has so much free time lol.

I have to agree with ya. I went hard on Ashes and Invincible. Outside of that, virtually every mount I have is just something I found by playing the game in whatever way I am playing whatever character I am currently on lol. Sometimes I do pvp for like half the expansion, then get tired and jump back into raiding. Sometimes, now at least, I do mythic + (though nothing higher than like a +13 or even +12 lol).

Video game completionists make me feel weird…until I remember that this Azeroth is a second home for many people, including myself. We see it as a home-away-from-home, if you will. IRL, I went to Cordon Bleu in California for two years, studied under some peeps in Vegas and Cali, moved to Japan for a few years, moved west from Japan across Asia and Europe and Africa. Came back to the US, went back to school to become an Equine Therapist…then life fell apart, became disabled, and now I have a GF who is a Child Psychologist who also plays WoW. And I am only 31…

I mean, that’s just the shorthand version of my life. If you could see the bigger picture, you would never even believe that I exist as a human, or that I am even still alive.
However, I have found people with even stranger stories of their lives that are also true…

So why is it so hard to believe that some nerd spent that much time downing a raid for a mount?

I mean, in Pandaria…my Druid went 6 weeks without getting a single piece of raid gear. I had to go farm Klaxxi dailies…

But, as the kids say these days, life is based and gives no F’s about you or I.
A video game less so.
Go and play the game, and stop worrying about some mount. Either go farm it and accept the pretty generous 5% drop rate, or go play some other part of the game. I mean, after all…you only have the other 99.98% of the game to play…

That’s because every time to do the instance on another character, your % to get the mount drop is lowered. Doing it in 52 characters a week kills any chance you ever had of getting it to drop.

This is why your drop % is lowered each time. They know you’re an addict. Good job, fool.
