X-45 Heartbreaker Mount Drop Rate Increase

“I suffered many many runs with RNG to get these mounts, and so should you”
or
“My rare mount won’t be special anymore when more people actually have a chance to earn it”

And don’t underestimate the fans of slot machines who think it’s much better and more exciting to run all these old raids for years with empty hands afterwards (because one day it might drop and there will be 10 seconds of happiness).

I feel this pain. I am SO not looking forward to next expansion when I have to level 80+ characters up to 70 instead of the 60 they’re at now. Should just make the required level 35 or 40 and call it a day.

You and me both. I’m going to hit over 4700 attempts next year if I don’t get it (again). :upside_down_face:

Let us trade Holiday Mounts, Pets…etc with our friends, that alone is a step forward to improve the bad RNG in this game and relief frustrating experience that’s doing this grind with 50+ alts.

Its pretty crazy they said this and 9 months later people are cycling through as many alts as they can everyday not for just a mount, but now also a pet and a dragonriding manuscript… which somehow Blizzard believes should be just as rare as a MOUNT. Like who is deciding these droprates??

I just dont understand.

Blizzard can we please get a response? The Halloween event rare pet mount combo with affixes for an increased chance - is that the new direction? Where is the communication? Why do you post one day before the love rocket event and ignore your own post for an entire year. It’s enough to make me buy a blizz con ticket and ask this very question during the live q&a!

They solved that problem too.

Now that blizz con is over for another year. Can we get an update on this event?

I hope we’ve new info before next event…besides the low drop. Devs should do more content for Holidays but it seems that they already did the minimum and probably love event will have a hard mode and that’s all… :smiling_face_with_tear:

We need besides this low RNG reward fixed, a proper event with more content (Worldquest, PvP brawls, a new world event maybe around Silverpine Forest).

it’s been two years for this event and one post about it from a blue. They haven’t responded to this thread which they created.

I’ll probably create a second account before the event just to get a second chance at the mount with whatever this boosted chance is.

Why is blizzard choosing to ignore the questions around special holiday event drops and how it feels horrible to do on alts? Did the op blue post say to much and he shouldn’t have acknowledged player response was poor? Not a single response … sad.

Well, We continue with the same issue about feedback, there’s few communications regarding rewards as always…it’s like a taboo topic for them, I was glad to see Chimes response back in 2022, since it was about to change holiday drops but there wasn’t communication with the players base and the implementation failed for some players (Its still pure RNG, you can use multiple accounts for the daily boost attempt now). We still have frustating rewards like the Druid forms in this last patch that involve a 2-3 hours waiting afk for an a single attempt.

There’s already threads in the Council but that forum section is ignored and then Blizzard only proceed to talk about the new expansion or patch, there’s few discussions about Legacy content, rewards , old systems.

For example, PvP, there’s a new BG next expansion but where’s the updates to the Honor prestige system introduced back in Legion and last updated in BFA…lack of communication regarding rewards IMO. At least the mount acquisition for 10.2 has a good approach and that’s also feedback, they did it really great with bad luck protection for those mounts.

I’d like to see Reward Devs implementing more rewards like mounts on 10.2 or Time Rifts instead of really low % for a limited time event like this one or any sort of rare respawn with 2-3 hours waiting for a low % attempt.

I hope that Love is in the air change isn’t just an Hardmode without any sort of improvements to the rewards regarding bad luck protection…

Headless horseman was just a simple hardmode but the pet showed the massive RNG issue again.

@Chimes please any reply regarding rewards?

This is great, but what about the Big Love Rocket?

Respond to the questions in this thread please. Is the solution really for us to buy a second account for this mount drop chance since so many still don’t have after years and years?

Sure but… A .02 to a 4% is still a crap chance and feels even worse when there are people that have ran it on 20+ characters every year with no luck and there’ll be people that make a brand new account, run it once, and get it. Big slap in the face. Some BLP on older accounts that don’t have it might make the gut punch less severe.

I have had a second account for the last… at least 5 years? And running that damn place over 50 times each day and still don’t have the love rocket. I am up to thousands and thousands of attempts, it’s pathetic and their “solution” was even worse.

Edit: oh and the way they handled arfus with the HH encounter ‘rework’ this year was just the doubling down I needed to see. Blizzard are sticking with terrible drop rates for holiday events despite all the backlash. They have learned nothing.

Yeah I don’t have a second account, not giving this company more than my month at a time just in case I can’t take it any longer. 5 years is some dedication for a 2nd account lmao.
