yep because players whined about not being to exert self control and wanted blizzard to stop them from being “forced” to run all their alts everyday for the mount.
CONGRATS GUYS HOPE YOURE HAPPY.
“oh but blizzard upped the mount drop chance significantly”
and you guys believe them…
from the same company that straight up lied about saying they were making two seperate instances of upper blackrock spire in wod to save it from being erased then went back on that and didnt tell anyone until 2 weeks before prepatch launched.
There’s no confirmation but the 2024 article that mentions holiday event changes you can find in the various threads about this indicates that your chances increase each time you don’t get the rare rewards now (with only one chance per day per account).
The 2024 article just says this generically for holiday events in general so it would make sense that it applies to this new mount as well.
The tooltip is the confirmation.
Unless by some miracle the devs decide to explain it better before the event ends. But if there’s even a small chance that explaining this change would lead to less engagement over the course of the event, I doubt they’re going to bother.
This article is from 2024 and likely supersedes the information in that post:
Updated Loot System
We’re changing the way the loot system for the holiday boss drops work. We have increased drop rates significantly for the first boss kill on a single account. Only the first attempt on a single Battle.net account will be eligible to receive the item drop, however. For each subsequent daily attempt on the boss with a single Battle.net account, the chance for the item to drop will increase and continue to accumulate for each failed attempt.
This change will allow players to spend less time working to earn a specific dropped item while providing an increasing opportunity to get that item during the holiday.
Which I’m glad they did, cause I’ve wanted this one for a long time since I saw the datamine.
I’m also pleasantly surprised that this one is in-game only and not in the store, since a lot of the Sky/Twilight/Love Witch stuff has been also going into the Store
