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

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.

Are the minions, music scrolls and the nier 2b-glamour even on loot-lockout? Isn't the "once per week" rule only for the gear and the coin?

[NealSnow]

Yes but here's a excellent example of my luck. Just finished a second run. No roll got higher then 18 on anything else. Minion, chests, and scrolls included.

You say this as if its an example of an actual trend and not just random rolls. Just keep running it as much as you feel you want to until you do get a good roll like with any of the raids we've had since the beginning. Sometimes you don't win a minion for years (dun scaith minion for me) and sometimes you win it Day 1 (ramza).

From my understanding this isn't possible. There are 3 coffers and if you rolled a 98 then you would get one. Only a 99 would beat you and there can't be two rolls of the same value.

When you roll a 98 that number if taken out of the pool of possible numbers. No one had rolled a 98 before you rolled and anyone rolling after you can't roll a 98.

I lost twice on rolls of 99 and three others rolls in the 90s, then won it on a 58. RNG is random.

I always assumed each Alliance had it's own chance of rolling a 99. At least on those. Release day I rolled a 97 and lost. I got mine today though. The dress looks weird on gray skin. XD
