DARKLIGHT GEARS ; ;

[Geo]

Darklight Breeches are best in slot for WHM and the Caligae are arguably best in slot for DRG and BRD.

It makes me sad when people get the rare stuff but don't know the worth of what they're getting.

I was going to post this, but I'll keep the flame on low.

Don't wanna get bannedx2 (unless I get to flame diplomats again...kk sorry for the derail).

Just to mention since we we're here talking about this... We've had days where we go 0/20+

Other days where we go 4 DL in 7 runs.... All dumb luck I tell ya'

out of about 120 total SR5C across AV/CC since patch day (600 chests) we've gotten about 25 pieces of Darklight. Only 4~5 body pieces in total.

REPETITIVE BULLSH*T - LOVIN' IT

I guess it amounts to game philosophy

RNG has been used in A LOT of games...
so has being guaranteed the item.. and so have token systems where you can easily predict how long it will take you to farm a certain thing....

I guess it boils down to preference...
Do you all prefer RNG vs token vs epicly hard fight for guaranteed drop?

Why can't we have all? We already have a token system for items (see: GC, primal weapons), we have RNG for drops in the recently released dungeons, and honestly I'd rather them stay away from "epicly hard fight for guaranteed drop" until 2.0, because the game engine is shit and they can't make a decently hard encounter without QQs over lag.

Good post... I'd enjoy having it all...
Although, to be fair, the Primals are a hybrid RNG/token system, as the tokens drop based on RNG
With that being said... do you think we'll ever see straight token? Like 40 wins and you get an item no matter what?
Do you think at 2.0 we'll see something so hard that it guarantees an item?
Technically the end dungeon bosses (Batraal, Miser's Mistress and Chimera) are guaranteed drops... just most of it is "meh"
Maybe Odin's hardest form (After he's been beaten a certain number of times) will guarantee a certain drop

Drops were never meant to be easily obtained in MMO...really though this game is easy mode compared to most of the other MMO I have played. Like the Lineage II noblesse quest...

[Sfarzoso]

Loots drops rate are definitively problematic. But then again there is nothing else to do as of right now so might as well keep trying.

[illriginalized]

SE doesn't know what play value is.. they figured, make this a rare drop so that it takes weeks if not months to get the drops, thus they pay us each month just trying to achieve rewards.

100+ runs?!?! Don't you people have to work and pay bills?!?!

I prefer epic hard fight...repetitive stuff bores me after a while as it loses its novelty fast.

True, primals are that way, but with them diminishing the amount of tokens required it's not that bad, it took me no time to collect 10 totems for my final weapon in pugs. I think we'll have to see what other systems/content they hammer out, though. Maybe the Crystal Tower will be different, and who knows how Hamlet Defense will work or what kind of drops/system will be used. Unfortunately it's one of those "too early to tell" things, but I think all can be incorporated in some form or another to appease everyone.

My personal favorite would be the Disney World of content
Content so vast and epic, you can't see it all in one day
