[Discussion] The mechanics behind lockouts

[Axidrain]

well it seems that u guys are not familiar with loot drop systems. okay. so basically if we dont have lockouts we will have RNG % drop rates. right now there are CONFIRMED loot drops from every dungeon. The only ones having lockouts currently are the higher tiered instances. now, let's talk RNG % drop rates. let's say we have 10% loot drop chance from an instance boss, thats a 10/100 chance something will drop. and lets just say that in that instance, weapons will drop for all classes. that's a 10/100 chance to get a drop from the boss and a 1/9 chance it will drop your specific item on top of that. i dont see how this will be more fun.


so now currently we have myth gear, and we have a chance to get allagan drops every week and on top of that, CONFIRMED loot from CT before locking you out. i think those numbers are much better than the the % drop system. this system is much much more forgiving than having RNG % drops. i swear with no lockouts with the current drop system we have in the game right now, i would probably get every class of mine geared in ilevel 90 in a month. or probably even less.
