No Timed Pop Notorious Monsters In New Expansion

Timed NMs?

AAAARGUUUUUUUUUUUS.

Seriously, weeks of camping him, maybe popped about 3 times, and I got him twice, and it never dropped. I lost a lot of sleep trying to get that damn drop. To this day, I've never owned a PCC.

I actually got that some time ago from Nyzul Isle Investigation. °~°

It's also the first, and only 'non-junk' item I have gotten from any assault, and I've done them quite a lot (every assault mission at least once, and lots of Nyzul). I still don't quite believe it, to be honest.

What we need more is, monsters that de-spawn even if not defeated successfully after being aggravated, and they will very rarely 'drop' an item that you need at least 3 high level crafts to make into the 'real' item, and then use highly convoluted evoliths to make them better. With of course at least 3-7 days of re-spawn timer.

No, just no...

I never really understood how it is balanced to have low low drop-rates. Think about the Defending Ring. It has been in the game since what, 2006? And there are 705 of them (obviously some accounts with it are likely to be inactive, and due to the spawn behaviour, not too many King Behemoths were/are slain). But still, it will never be balanced because other people may work on it for a small eternity with no results to show for it, while others don't need to, because of luck.

One simply cannot balance luck!
