with only a few weeks left our group has seen
1 Slayer tier piece to date.
0 talwater blades
0 epics
0 rogue shoulders
What we have seen…
is a bunch of useless items for paladins
the swim ring no one wanted in the game
the hunter pitchfork about 298374293847293847 times
the clamweave tunic literally every single week
I don’t know what the fix is, or if there should even be one…but it sucks to move into next phase having never seen gear drop even once.
We’ve seen all of that multiple times. It’s just RNG man. Part of what MMOs like classic used to be.
RNG will always be RNG but slayer tier does seem disproportionately low. Multiple groups in our guild never see them but we see the boomy set and mail set all the time.
I run 2 a groups week myself )all 3 lockouts) and we have 10 static guild groups which a bunch of alt ones. Could be confirmation bias but its enough of a consistency to make me wonder is all.
I have yet to see the slayer helm drop in any group I run. I have seen the sword once, and thankfully it was while on my rogue. And the boots and chest have only dropped twice for us as well.
I mean… yeah. I never got Journey’s End on my druid during P1 of Wrath Classic. It just didn’t happen. RNG can suck, but it also makes for memories.
I made a post about how awful the loot distribution will be in BFD (linked below). It’s because the loot tables are so huge. I knew there were going to be many upset players this phase as many will not be seeing loot they want drop.
There is a clear fix, but it would be making a change, and a lot of people don’t like changes, even if they are good for the game.
Yeah, bad ones.
Funny ppl keep saying everything unchanged is classic feeling (like this drop rate rng). And when asked for change, the answer is always go play retail
On the other hand ppl so excited about the changes in sod which are not classic at all.
Not all the classic rngs are good. We play a seasonal server we made our effort if our time not get rewarded, it will encourage ppl to quit or get alternative gears by buying gold.
Half of the reason why gdkp or gold business exist is because the bad drop rate. When you can buy similar gears why bother to raid?
Another way to make good memories is after hard working I finally get the reward. If you ask me what is the best game exp in sod. I will tell you it’s the lock demon rune quest. Well designed and a good amount farming involved. I was so happy to get the demon form even tho I am not using it at all.
They could at some craft quests in raid and also drop mats each time ppl raid. My other best exp in classic are those crafting quest in 60. I farmed for my feral cat the chest, orbs, etc. that’s jus a lot more fun than spaming shadow bolt in mc
They should be helm chest boot tokens that you turn in to the stealthed quest guy for the proper piece of gear.
In gnomer they could make it a vending machine for that dungeon set, and possibly a super tiny chance of a grime encrusted object turning into a set token when cleaned.
Idc what anyone says about RNG the slayer tier is actually bugged or lower drop rate.
Every group in my guild, and most people on the forums experiencing similar issues.
Took me a month of running to see the druid feral mace, and to finally start winning rolls on the trinket.
Whats funny to me here is we have only gotten the trident once in all 16? clears we have done. Yet we have gotten the epic sword 4 times. That stupid clamweave tunic is like a 95% droprate though I swear.
Yeah warlock gear seems to drop non stop in this raid, especially when you dont bring a warlock.
This wording assumes a problem. It’s kind of like going to McDonald’s and claiming that the fix for them not having Whoppers is for them to add Whoppers to their menu.
There’s a different “fix.” And you’re right, it is clear.
This one actually psses me off! They put a class/spec defining weapon in the game that is 2-3x better than anything else available and when I run with my druid, it doesnt drop! I am just raid logging now on my druid until I see the mace drop, because I dont feel like playing at such a huge disadvantage to other druids that have this mace in pvp.
The biggest issue I have is that the feral mace is really the only option that drastically impacts the performance of ferals. Other classes have items that are not BiS, but will be closer in damage output. Ferals have a mace on ~10% drop chance.
Delude yourself however you please, just don’t make me a part of it.
It what way?
I see someone complaining about not getting loot, and calling that a problem. You can literally play other games or different versions that solve that “problem” in exactly the ways you’re asking for right now.
I choose to play this game because I prefer it over other games, as it is.
Right back at’cha!
one of the main problems with the tier set being so rare is hit. There are no other hit pieces out there so getting this is huge, and yet it never drops. Due to the hit it may even be BiS in gnomer.
Granted, I’ve been fairly lucky with my drops, but generally OP is why I think there should be a raid token thing. I had an idea for it that I posted awhile back… it made sense to me.
i agree with raid token…but it will never happen.
