Sephirot, Nidhogg, Sophia Mount from Totem Exchange when?

The reason they don't is your 112 runs likely meant jumping into Party Finder. If you were guaranteed a bird after 99 attempts, you'd now have no reason to touch Sophia EX. With the cross server PF being implemented in 3.5, we'll be pulling from everyone on our respective data centers. Basically, they want you to have some measure of bad luck to assure you'll keep doing the content. Once its old enough people have generally moved on, they then buff the rates to get people back in and offer an alternative method to beat RNG since it isn't relevant content anymore.

I understand they need some way to keep the content relevant, it's just an absolute bother to carry DPS only to lose over and over again, a lot of the time to players who do poorly, like dying half the fight. It'd be nice if they made it more competitive, maybe that might even help keep the content relevant (i.e. A leaderboards for fastest clears).

Not really. Thordan was added in 3.35-- nearly a year and a half following his release.

Sorry, that's not correct. Minstrel's Ballad: Thordan's Reign released in Patch 3.1 in November 2015. Patch 3.35, which allowed people to turn in Heaven's Ward fragments for the round lanner whistle, released in July 2016. That's actually eight months and not a year and a half.

Sephirot extreme released in Patch 3.2, February 2016, eight months ago. I'd expect to see a totem turn in for him at the next patch. And I really, really hope we get it, because my 99 totems are waiting.

I got to 126 soph ex clears before I decided to wait for the totem buy. Also "ensuring rarity" doesn't really work for me as a reason, since 5/6 of my fc members got their bird within 25 clears (guess who number 6 is... ;-; ). We need the totem buy now.

I would expect them to add the Sephirot, Nidhogg and Sophia birds to Bertana's shop in 3.45, if they were going to continue releasing them in three's. They likely will wait to add Sophia's until a later patch, however. It would be nice if they'd let you purchase the mounts with 99x totems right away, since I personally am against the RNG nonsense (seen way too many bad players get the mounts). Being a skilled player and having done 112 runs of Sophia and losing on 11 birds, I'd much prefer something that requires effort as opposed to something that's sheer luck.

I got the Sophia bird on my 90th clear so I'm pretty happy about that. The only bird I need now is Sephirot and I'm holding onto 99 totems because Sephirot farms have been impossible for months now. It's a fun fight and I love it but people on my server are absolutely terrible at it and no one is doing it via RF.

1ST clear on sophia bird drops i lot 91 but a 99 beat me. My rule on mounts is i like to get it but won't farm it its just to frustrating.
