Anyone complaining about this because they got it pre nerf: Just stop, you're being whiny for stupid reasons. Don't wish the same level of unecessary bad RNG upon everyone else just because you endured it. You chose to do it, and for that you also got to show off & enjoy the mount earlier, and while it was more revelant. I'm just happy more people will get this mount without hating the process as much.I've done Breaching the Tomb and Balance of Power on 9 characters. When those are made easier, I'm just happy for other people, not angry at blizzard for improving stuff that was very anti-fun.
Some of the mechagon drop rates were buggy as hell.It was faster to restart the vinyl achieve on another character. The first character never got the one it was missing and I did rec rig A LOT.Also soooo how about a change to soundless? Like a significant drop increase
Note for everyone playing this game. Procrastination absolutely pays off in this game. It has proven true countless times.Rep gets easier, achievements get easier, gear gets easier.My advice, when an expansion launches take 9 months off, come back and things will be super easyI've done that the past 3 expansions and I'm very happy with that decision. Heck I still haven't completed the Skinner building garrison mounts
I'm one of those people who just had one thing left for the meta - however mine was the 'craft a bazillion things' achieve :PThe only thing I remember being particularly hard for the Nazjatar one was the uh one elemental spawn? The... Amalgam one? Otherwise that was comparatively easy in BFA imoI wish, for any meta achieve, that rare spawns would get upped a bit, though. Once things become one-shottable, it's very hard to finish off a list unless you're willing to sit for up to, like, twelve hours for the spawn. Coughs at Timeless Isle. Anything longer than an hour spawn should be reduced, in any zone, two expansions since it was current
Yo, Timeless Isle meta achieve. Getting some of those drops when the isle is no longer as active and the spawns are potentially tagged and killed by a single player per spawn (rather than multiple players getting the opportunity when it was done at level) is quite insane. E.g. Monstrous Spineclaw's drop Spineclaw Crab.
I just wish this had been done soon after 8.2 came out... it's not like we were being silent about these issues. Crazy to think it took them about 1.5 year to get to make some of these changes.
This is a good thing for all the people who want to start this achiev !But deep down I'm a bit sad I didn't know this earlier, because I've been spending several hours a day for weeks now because of some ridiculously low drop rates, and today I just needed one more thing to finish. If I'd known it was going to be changed, I'd clearly have waited a bit x)
Can we also have a buff for Most Minis Wins?. The drop rate for Azeroth Mini: King Mechagon is insanely low. I have been farming it on 4 characters almost every week since 8.3 and have yet to get it to drop.
I just finished this after waiting for one daily quest for FOUR MONTHS! I'm glad they've reduced the rng etc but on my journey I've met people who has farmed Steel Singer Freeza for months! I've had good rng so didn't need that but it doesn't feel fair to them. It's still a rough achievement though. Now do the Nazjatar one....Edit to add: this is most likely happening thanks to the increased frustrations from people here on wowhead, since we all repeatedly contacted blizz during these last months about playtime's over etc. On top of previous complaints. So our labor bears fruit, but it's always frustrating to complete something right before it's fixed.
Vinyl: Triumph of Gnomeregan – Now a guaranteed drop from the Hard Mode version of the Reclamation Rig event.Effin' finally. Took them way too long.
These changes should have been made when it was current...It wasn't hard to get back when it was LIVE, there was no degree of skill involved, all you had to do was play the zone and participate, at the end of the day you just had luck with RNG whether you got to complete the META or not. The vinyl drop rate from the Reclamation Rig event and Steel Singer were ridiculous.I spent the expansion trying to get that Vinyl to drop and gave up leaving it the last vinyl I needed for the achievement.With the amount of complaints when it was LIVE, this is more than welcomed now.
I farmed hard for this and got it when it was current. I "paid" for the mount/achievement in time (and no, I wasn't lucky, I was persistent), and now other players are going to "pay" far less to get the same result. This is obviously not good for the time-investment economy of the game, and if changes like this became widespread, you better believe the collector-types (which seem to be a pretty significant portion of the consistent subscribers) would start losing interest in the game.
What about the drop chance of the the statuettes for Most Minis Wins?
Usual reminder that hard =/= time consuming. These are good changes.
I just spent months completing this. This feels like an insult.
