[dev1007] Voidwatch: Obtaining Spoils

The drop rate in this game for top tier items has always been shit, and that's exactly what we're talking about for VW, current top tier items. Are you some sort of modern day Sherlock Holmes being able to release this golden nugget of information for people? See: Salvage, Kings, Sea, basically the entire end game for the games long history. They're meant to be rare, you're supposed to be extremely lucky or extremely dedicated to get them.

It's actually one of the best loot pool concepts they've put into this game. It does away with the need for people to manage DKP, avoids ninja lotting, avoids drama over items. It's very elegant really. People being butthurt over drop rates doesn't make it a bad loot system. You also have to prise your minds off the vapid concept that you somehow should be entitled to something from someone else's loot pool, when it's clearly been designed as an individual system.

If drop rates suck, they suck, SE will adjust them (like they said actually) if they feel it's the right time and it won't change the game balance too much.

I fully agree with you. I have seen my LS get 7 guns from one t4. I don't think it is that terrible drop rate. 1% of the time for a rare item? Okay, I can spam this NM a whole lot in a week instead of, say Niddhogg who only spawned like one a week and with crap drop rate. Also, the fact that multiple can drop at the same time(different loot pools) means if it does show in my chest, I don't pass it to someone else. A 5% drop rate /6 ppl is <1%. assuming at least 6 ppl want.

You realize that the gun isn't the rare drop from caelano right?



In about 30 runs my LS still hasn't seen one of these bodies.

My LS has never seen one either. Probably in the ballpark of 30 runs as well.
