Nier raid 2b outfit rant.

[NealSnow]

So the devs knew just how wanted the 2b outfit is... so they lock it to not only a loot table but o my 3 chests vs thousands of people who are all gonna want it so unless you get extremely lucky it's gonna take some people months or a year if not more especially once the hype dies down.

I get it's to make sure people run it but ffs, at least implement a token system where you can buy the set but say 5-10 tokens per piece or something so eventually it won't take forever. I never get good rng rolls so now my only reliable options are no life one piece of content or wait long enough til 3 people can solo it altogether.

People who are fine with it I'm sure will result to insulting or defending the choice but I'm tired of having to fight for outfits in a damn dungeon let alone against 23 other people. Woulda preferred just handing it out at the end of the saga or again a token system.

I rolled 98 and lost, so there’s that.

I don’t think it’s a huge deal. Definitely disappointing to not win but it’s literally just a few hours after the servers came up. I’m assuming that once you have it you can’t roll again? And this raid will be relevant until the next part in 5.3. I think everyone who wants it will get it sooner than they think.

I'd hope but 3 chests aren't enough. 5 would be a better number to account on bad luck

Good, there will be actual people queueing for it this time instead of going dead in the first week.

[Lacan]

the point of making rewards like these is to make people do the content. :v So buckle up and do the content if you want your glamours.

I mean, it's the same chance and getting minions from the raids. I don't know what people expected? Getting it for not doing anything?

That and since 24 man's have a 1-drop per week lockout while they're current it's highly unlikely people will always lose out on the piece they want. Gear tends to get unclaimed a lot more than people realize because everyone usually either A. Has the piece already, B. Is waiting for a more desirable piece to drop, or C. Has already rolled this week.

Mind that brings up a whole new argument about the current system could definitely be seen as wasteful if drops are being ignored, but from the standpoint of just wanting the loot now is probably the best time to get it in the first place. I personally wouldn't disagree to an in-instance token system as I feel that would cut down on a measure of the wasted drops. However I can't see SE giving us gear tokens just for participating. They want us to fill the queue and keep it going and the RNG nature of the current loot system accomplishes that.

Some tips.

Pass on all the other items you don't need, and wait to roll on the item you need untill all the other pieces are handed out (less people to compete with), then roll on the item you want.
If you still don't get it then run the ARR again.
There's no restriction, you roll an infinite times untill you have the item you wanted.

Or just be patient and run the ARR weekly.

Personally I run the ARR 2-3 times per day (on non raid days) if there's an item I really want.

Another 24 man another thread complaining about the loot system

I mean there is a wide gap between not doing anything and being screwed by RNG. Hell, I'm still missing like two of the previous alliance minions. Getting 3 instead of 1 per raid completion is a good start though.

Good thing I am only mildly interested in the set. I would be slightly miffed too otherwise.
