Alexander loot systems sucks :/

[hagare]

So, how do you like the new savagemode alexander loot system then? its exactly same what we had...


I cant find that in the patchnotes, we will get the token from chest and thats a very bad idea!
SE pulled again the LOCKOUT trick... are they just stupid?

In savage gears will drops and tokens too. Patches? None so far but they will on Monday night. We are just saying what SE told in the last live letter. Alex normal will get more drops too when Savage comes.

look in news: patchnotes are already out... (preview notes)
Checked in japan text - it may be a translating issue, still it says it comes from a chest...
true only once each floor and each week, but if you go in with 4 who already beaten it -> no chests...

There are many possibilities how they implement it, its not what i think they will do, its just confusing what they have given us as news!

After Tanaka in 1.0, Yoshi-P modified primals and released a good system with garuda, why they changed back to tanaka system with 2.0 and ongoing they have never said.

There was no primal fights during Tanakas time. Or do you mean the Leve NMs with their tokens?

- Players in the party who have yet to complete a given area in Alexander: Gordias (Savage) prior to the weekly reset will receive a page of the Gordian Manifesto.

it means u will get a token even if theres no chest.

Ifrit & Garuda were in 1.x

they also dropped weapons & tokens to trade for weapons, pretty much the same as bis & rav today.

SE switched Tanaka with Yoshide during november 2010. Ifrit, the first primal fight, came out 1 year after. Time enough for Yoshida to change what was already finished. Nobody outside of the dev team know how Tanakas plan for the primal fights was. We players only saw Yoshidas primal fights.

Except you can't farm it Alex Savage will have what many of us already asked for. We just wanted to feel rewarded if we're unlucky. In my static, on 2nd coil we had our monk who never dropped gloves from T8 (when he needed accuracy) until lockout was removed. On FCoB, I never saw healing pants from T11, healing choker from T12 and ring only dropped once. Feels really bad being excluded simply by RNG, no matter how well you're capable of completing a suposedly challenge, for months. So yes, savage loot system is the best we could get. We won't have full set in one month, but we at least know we're getting rewarded, slowly.

You should check other languages, not the first time SE does have translation issues!

Edit: Ifrit was a finished fight back then, yoshida changed the lootsystem based on players suggestion. It may be true, that ifrit wasnt released when tanaka was still there but it was already programmed.
Somehow nostalgic to have every year same discussion as we had in 1.x

Besides, the token system for Ifrit was garbage, since the tokens themselves had a really low drop rate
