    I'm saying that in a logical sense, some things I understand need time to get. Relics (minus the RNG parts of it) and leveling are two of the many that make sense.

    I'm talking about events in a game that only last a specified set of time like this one. Don't try and turn my statement on me. I know what I'm talking about and plenty of people will agree with me.

    No thank you. I also know my brother and his gf trio'd the elite set and got a hat lol. If every single mob had a chance to drop it that'd pretty much cause the same issue as atomos: The entire server farming the easy to access zones which screws up everything else.

    Did you try doing guildleves in Atomos pop spots? Or trying to teleport around? The even is pretty easy to do and if you were trying the leesh strategy you probably didn't have actual claim on the mobs when it died, the drop rate isn't that bad.

    >< I want your luck, honestly... I am not lying about the no hat drops, maybe in your servers the rate is higher, I have no clue, on Excalibur, I just haven't seen any hat drop while I was in the party, and people are just losing interest and saying it is not worth it.

    If I could solo it, I would grind it all day, so it isn't laziness...I just cannot do it alone, or force people to come with me!

    I'd support a 100% token system or a exponential % growth on failures..

    Got to be careful with just a basic RNG though - but they're stupid anyways so hope SE changes events to a more predictable and reliable system. (We need systems that make everyone work a similar amount to get an item, and that work is similar to the quality of the item - a basic RNG does not do either of these).


    Seeing how changing a whole loot system for the last month is a waste of time, I support this drop rate suggestion IF this event is impossible in 2.0. (Tokens probably wouldn't take long to switch to, but they should spend their time on 2.0 - so just boost the drop rate and call it done)

    Ya know, If there were elites that were not tied to the vanguard spawn i don't think this would have been an issue.

    I support this idea.

    I'd much rather work together with everyone than fight for claim/kill to get the drops. That's how you make new friends and grow your circle of allies. Or go solo/duo/small party the non-elites to work towards a drop for me and my ls mates.

    We're all working hard to get through the list of things we want to accomplish before server shutdown, help us out a little SE?

    I love the official forums, they tell you to use the search for thread about what you wanted to talk but when you use it they judge for necro a thread.

    its a bad event, and sadly its one of those things that gets less and less interest in it as it goes on. Less people wanna do it because they have what they want. I have the tricorne and have said screw that event, im never going back because of its piss poor design. IF I have legit group trying to do it, others try to mpk by getting hate and leashing h1 back to respawn zone. The event is a poorly designed mess, I my sympathies to anyone who is still stuck doing it.

    I am by no means a hardcore player and I dont have a million hours to invest but I have spent several hours a night for over a week and no drop.. so even though I am putting the time into it, its possible I wont get it before the servers shut down.. Im all for challenge but "luck" playing as a factor doesnt pan out.. sorry... they need to change it so that everyone can get the chance to get these items before they are gone..

    It is possible to do with just one party. I spent at less 2 hours with a full party. We got one drop which fell in my inventory, then of course I had to pass it. :-p
