SE, what gives with the low drop rates on the new cards?

[Neridine]

Even the new 1 and 2 star cards have ridiculously low rates. If all the NPCs didn't have very strong decks, crazy rulesets, AND timed availability I probably wouldn't complain so much. 300+ wins with above restrictions with no drop is just insane though.

It's too much.

Thus why most people on Balmung have given up on Triple Triad. Myself included. I've got new raids to prep for and a shit tone of classes to level. I just don't have time to chase an NPC half way across the real only to win one out of 20 matches and still get no drop only for them to go "Sorry, maybe later" when their window times out.

ill tell you the reason for it : SE loves RNG. these new npcs totally proof that true. on top of that they decided to lower the card droprates even more which were already crazy low for some cards before so that with these new super low rates we have to fight horrible RNG based fights witch require no skill to win only RNG luck so much until we either give up or start loving RNG ourselfs.

thats why. bit over the top comment is on purpose but on the core this is the sad truth behind it.

most people on my server have abadoned tt by now. tournaments still reward less than before HW and are no longer worth the time aswell. basicly means entire saucer can be closed. its nearly dead now. no suprise. this happens always when devs go overboard with RNG based crap. and they definitly did with these new npcs. sadly they wont patch it like swift back then.

I actually love the difficulty of some of the new NPCs (bring it on!) but the card drop rate and timed spawns are just too much. The MGP rewards don't really even make up the difference.

We won the battle against swift but lost the war against rng npcs.
Swift had it planned from the start.

Have fun doing Dragon's Neck / Big Keep on HW btw.

I'd be more okay with it if there wasn't so much random. I get random sooooo much and random just isn't random against NPCs. It's a hand of one star cards against 3+ star cards and that isn't fair. At all. And I'm convinced they all know what your hand is regardless of the rules. Some of the plays just don't make sense until you consider what you have in your hand.

Still, I find myself more frustrated by the trial drops than the NPCs. I think that's because I've never seen a card drop. Ever. I do Mog, Shiva, and Garuda HMs multiple times each day and have never had them drop. I've never had any of the trials give me cards but at least the others you can get from NPCs. I am so sick of Mog. The repair bills from groups that don't understand not to attack the King is so high. /sob

The amount of RNG associated with the NPC cards is atrocious. Whoever decided that having insanely low drop rates behind an RNG ruleset with a times lockout should be ashamed of themselves.

The new TT NPCs are not fun. And it's not fun to play a game that's not fun.

I figured the low drop rate just was because of how few cards their are to win from NPCs in heavensward compared to the first 80 cards.

It took me some 600 wins to get the 2 star cards from Mogmill(only 2 drops total). It's too much. I'm ok with a 5% drop rate or so. Or at minimum increased MGP rewards to make the new NPCs worth spamming. SE please balance out the rules:difficulty:reward ratio...
