Before you ask, yes I have unity with me I have even resummoned it like a “reset”. I haven’t collected any of the armor sets I was working on plate, but ever since they launched the patch on July 23rd with gear being changed in the way it’s obtained i was getting cloth, mail, and leather drops on Unity…that’s a fine idea- But the problem being bad luck protection on the drops has been removed. So next to the abysmal drop rate of getting a piece from world quests you might receive duplicates- or recently in my case just no piece at all. It sucks because I was trying to get plate, but now It feels like i’ve “missed” the window to obtain this set since it’s now really just on 100% rng luck- if it’s going to drop anything at all. I don’t want to have to grind stitch yard again in hopes that it won’t “bug” out on me on that character- especially if the change was made so you only have to do it on one character. I really hope they put in a fix for this, bad luck protection or just up the drop or anything. It really makes me sad that something that was supposed to be a quality-of-life feature for old content has now kind of made the Duty-Bound set impossible to obtain smoothly. Other people in the unity tracking discord has also reported the same issues. It’s just disappointing. Please fix because I can’t get an answer to my tickets.
Wait. You’re getting different armor types unity recolor? I thought blizz said open world drops would remain PL?
yep, i’ve gotten cloth, mail, and leather pieces of the Unity set on my warrior who i was originally farming the plate on- but as of recent, i’ve gotten no drops two days in a row despite others showing that they got drops (also random armor pieces if not also just not getting any drop at all.) Didn’t have any issues at all with it until that patch. I get the vision- to be able to obtain all sets of it on a single character, but not getting any pieces at all kind of defeats the part that was supposed to make it better for obtaining the set.
Each Maldraxxus WQ has a chance to spawn with a hidden flag for rewarding a unity item. If someone else does WQ A and gets an item, you’re supposed to as well if you do the same WQ.
that’s the thing, I haven’t been- and it’s not just me. Multiple people are saying they’re not being rewarded pieces since the transmog changes that happened recently.
I got 2 pieces of the Maldraxxus plate set and I played that covenant on my main when SL launched. I just think it’s broke and now it’s extra broke since it’s all cosmetic and warband can make any cosmetic drop.
yeah I have several of the pieces- it’s just frustrating that the changes seem to have made it worse instead of improving it which is what i think was the intended purpose of the change. I’m in a unity tracking discord- there was a confirmed drop today but for some people nothing dropped from the world quest at all. Yes we all had unity, yes we were all on the same region. I think that’s what people don’t get- it’s just broken. It’s not about how the drop is abysmal it’s just completely not dropping anything when there is supposed to be a reward because other people are getting rewards!
Wanted to add an update here, since I’ve recently started working on this. My first and only leather drop so far (didn’t realize how involved of a grind this was, so haven’t joined the discord yet, if its still around), and was hoping it would unlock the other armor types.
Sadly it does not, so if this is unintended or a bug, then its still active. Also, is there supposed to be bad luck protection built in? How does one determine weather a given rare world drop has this?
