99 totems per mount!?. Can we have this!?. | I don't want to farm primals forever!.

[SigmaOZ]

I would ask Square Enix to give us the option to trade 99 totems of a given primal for its mount since I don't want, ever again, to farm for ponies or falcons with the uncertainty of getting one someday!...

.- Drop rate is too low and RNG always seems to favor anyone else but oneself.

.- Lootmaster rules don't work because it would take hundreds of runs for everyone to get their falcons and a farm party won't run for longer than a dozen clears, if they ever get it going.

.- A static for falcon's farming won't happen easily and not everyone can get in one anyway.

So, just give us the option to trade 99 hard won totems for the respective mount, that way we can be at ease knowing we will someday get the mount!...

They eventually nerf the rarity of mounts. Ponies aren't anywhere near as rare as they used to be.

Farming keeps content alive longer though.

it also burns out people faster. Personally I might increase the count since I'm already above 50 totems and I have only seen 2 and yes the person who fell off won the mount. /sigh

And didn't the relic also burn out people for being too grindy and too long? I had to do a double take when I saw this thread.

The relic quest also had an element of randomness to it. We didn't beat a set number of FATEs to get the drop. Some people got it first try, others took weeks to get the same drop.

I meant more of the non FATE ones. You know, the ones where you have to grind your butt off for those unidentifiable items that people hated.

On the flip side I'm not going to bother dedicating several dozen or even hundreds of hours farming these mounts if they're reliant on RNG, as they're just going to get nerfed in the future. Especially when you consider that some of them come from challenging primals, and people on DF still can't grasp the mechanics of Bismarck Extreme.

I agree with any arbitrary number. Be it 99, be it 200. We're already not farming for a weapon until it drops, we're farming for it at most until we have 10 tokens. No matter how high the RNG is someone is likely to stay unlucky. Meaning who would it harm?

EDIT: for example yesterday I've farmed for 7h. IT was half static, half pugs. We didn't even SEE a single drop. It got so bad, that we decided that the moment it drops, even if it goes not to us, but to randoms we're going to cheer and screenshot it.

7h farming thats a lot of kills ...and 0 drops ?

they want to keep the content alive , but when the 8 ppl farming dont need anything from it and are there just because the mount , thats not "alive" .... u arent helping new players to kill the primal , u arent getting some1 weapon.... u are just tossing your dice against the wall...with a 2% (aprox?) chance of dropping a mount that goes 1 lucky player (of 8).
