If Soundless is going to have a 1/300 chance to drop the mount, can you make it have a shorter respawn, much like Rustfeather’s and Arachnoid Harvester’s?

Welcome to “timeless isle rares”…people begged for it, now we got it. Hate it.

Most of the more “important” rares like Huolon were on a pretty reliable spawn timer. That’s why people gathered in his spot once an hour. There were a few outliers like that stone giant guy I can’t remember the name of, but most of them would spawn pretty reliably. Even the ones requiring the killing of various enemies. Spineclaw was always a pain, however. So no, I don’t think anyone really asked for Blizzard to make people miserable. People also didn’t have to wait a day between chances either, and could kill the rares on Timeless Isle as many times as they wanted.

Bumping for justice!
Agreed, keep him in line with the mechagon rares or either shorten his timer or buff the drop rate on the mount.

Right there with you. Do my stuff around the area, check the points a bit and if he’s not up by time I’m done…I leave. Just not going to stay there all day for it.

I agree, OP. If people want to waste their time they can go play Classic! Let the real WoW players have what’s ours.

If I’m in the zone I’ll check to see if he has spawned. Usually check lfg too. If he’s not there I just forget about it. He drops a cool mount but why bother. I have better things to do than wait for a rare with an unknown spawn timer.

And maaaaybe do something about the rockweed shambler unless that’s already been addressed? that dude’s gone awol.
Theres three types of mounts from what i’ve seen.
The guaranteed but hard to get ones, like TLPD, Aeo, Fab, etc.
Spawn every few hours, upped but not guaranteed chance. The warbringers.
Spawn often. 30 mins to 2 hours. Low chance.
So why is Soundless both an 8 hour spawn and a low chance? Thats soooo annoying. Its horrible.

I gave up on Soundless. At least Rust has one spawn point. I miss the argus rare style.

Yesterday was the 1st time ive ever seen it spawn since 8.2 came out. I agree shorten its spawn time or up the drop rate
Saw him twice yesterday, near the Alliance quest hub.
As for the 3 Hydra’s, no sir.
Yeah, please do this for the 12 of us that still play retail.
I don’t get why the mount is not a guaranteed drop. It has like a 6-8 hr respawn timer with multiple spawn locations. On most days I don’t even get a kill in. No way I’m camping for hours for a mount that has a less than 1% chance to drop. They need reduce the respawn timer or make the mount guaranteed.

Or make it like the Argus rare O.o tied to a world quest and like a minute spawn time.

So I tried to kill Soundless the other day and lost him 3 different times for 3 different reasons. A hunter tamed him in a raid group, he sharded out before I could get a tag, and in war mode an alliance tagged him and the raid killed the alliance but did not reset soundless so the alliance guy got to keep the tag.
That would be nice but the world quest would probably be up only once a month. I do not see that change being a good one unless it is a weekly quest with a 1% drop rate.
P.S. The reason why people are asking for changes is that a 30-70 min respawn in a set location would be more in line with the other rares that drop mounts in 8.2.
I mean its asking 2 hours of your time a day for a mob that might spawn and might spawn at your location, or might survive long enough for you to fly while you are doing something that may drop the mount. I would rather get the daily quest rares. It respected your time more.
