what about those of us who didn’t wait the last minute?
but have jobs and other things we have to do during the day so we can’t camp a mob spawn like it’s 2005
I had enough time to kill two of the bosses a night last week and a day and a half set aside this weekend to finishing this which I thought would be no problem because I was only missing the one piece.
I have only seen the storm lord once.
he didn’t drop my thing The rest of the times that I’ve been able to be on he has not been in rotation.
there are three nodes and four possible elements there is no excuse as to why it hasn’t spawned in almost 2 days.
Assuming the previous poster is accurate (no idea if that’s true or not), if there were 27 consecutive occurrences of a non-Storms miniboss, this was a 1 in 2500 occurrence.
Just to add my voice. I play on Ysera and Ravencrest.
I saw one Wind storm on the first day playing. No Wind drop.
I got gear for my 3 allies and 3 horde.
I have a backpack full of Ice, Stone and Fire.
I was online for the past three days checking every 2 hours for the Wind invasion and none appeared.
FWIW.
Yes you can trade to players who also got the tag but they are still BoA. You can’t post them on the AH or give them to someone who wasn’t in on the kill. I believe it has a two hour window to be traded and then done.
Have not seen it on my realm in 4 days! I am on over 14 hours a day watching! I mean just today it has not been up, and i have been checking since 6AM! I have even seen 3 earth up at the same time 3 times in the last 4 days!
It is massively bugged. Been trying for the storm piece for over a week and still have not gotten the drop, i have seen it spawn once and did not get the drop in 7 kills while it was up.
Not to mention all the pieces I just deleted. I won’t mention the amount of storm I deleted. I was able to trade a bunch off at kills but deleted way more. I was able to make two trinkets the first night on this account and another. That’s with job, family, etc, etc.
I did something similar a couple days ago. I think I had roughly 10 trinkets worth of each at minimum because I was farming for catchup gear and using the LFG tool to chain bosses
Kinda feel like I should point out that I’ve killed the Storm Lord about 8 times during the first couple of days between my alts and I just didn’t get a drop.
Having it be locked out like this for days and counting is ridiculous. Its not a matter of rng, its a matter of something is wrong with the spawning in the first place. It shouldn’t be this rare.
It certainly would not be difficult for Blizz to acknowledge the issue (bug or just horrible RNG), and supply anyone with the Earth, Fire, and Water Primeval with a Storms Primeval. Problem Solved, satisfied customers.
Or just add a vendor item before the end so we can just buy the dimmed elemental parts. Should have been an option from the get go in case this sort of thing occurred.
this is exactly the point I have been making. This isn’t some secret surprise. When Blizzard sets something to RNG it isn’t really like other games where they make it so your chance at getting the item increases on every failure. Don’t expect that behavior from them like most other game designs.
Did you know that the first shot in vs npc shooters has like an absurdly high like 90% chance to miss if it isn’t telegraphed to hell and back? Health bars at ‘critical’ percentages often are less critical than you would think too. WoW doesn’t really have any of that
