Cherdakuru.5841 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 A few thoughts. What if Arena.net make rotational loot on boss encounters? Like week 1 - fancy miniature week 2 - fancy armor model etc etc etc And they can remove super RNG and super rare items from bosses and make them a reward in hard challenges Like they can make REALLY DIFFICULT HARDCORE MY KEYBOARD IS BREAKING HARD jumping puzzle, in the end of which you get the Chak Egg Sac.

New loot every week on rotation If you think about it, they can do rotation quests associated with boss encounters Like for Chak egg sac: Stomp 200 spores Revive 30 players Avoid all the AOE Etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phs.6089 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 that is the only thing that keeps TD meta alive for 3 years, the hope for chack egg sac drop. Why would they make it into another Serpent Ire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I feel for this game your proposition fails. Having said that there is more than challenge and RNG. There is also grind or repetition that is not based on RNG like this game has plenty of already. The solution may lie in having people work for it rather than it being subject to RNG. I'm not a big fan of RNG in general because it's not about challenge and it's not about working towards a goal but just being lucky. There is a saying that goes like this: _stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results_ My view is that RNG is closely related to this saying.

I think having <1% chance to get the thing is more then an argument to people not having the item. Actually i'm pretty sure more people can get those super rare items if you put it behind the VERY HARD wall. That also means that the price will drop eventually, and those that can't complete it at least will be able to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why would you be more right than me? Besides, have you ever considered that ArenaNet actually wants some super rare items in the game and that making it more readily available would be contrary to their goals?

I'm pretty sure it sucks to farm one item day after day and never getting it. And even not knowing when you get it, knowing that it is nothing you can do about it. It is not skill, it is just pure gambling aspect of human biology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made some research and i have an experience in different games, that's probably why? They do it only so players keep playing their game because of illusionary chance to get that item. If i wanted to play lottery i would buy it in the nearest shop, and still it would be better then spending months on that super-rare item. Even financially.

However, I have not seen enough facts to support that this would be a good idea. > They do it only so players keep playing their game because of illusionary chance to get that item. A small chance is not an illusory chance. Extremely unlikely sure, but it's not an illusion because there is an actual chance and some people have been lucky, but yes this why they do it, so it meets their goal of keeping certain people playing (not everybody cares enough about chac eggs after all). And that's my point.. it serves a purpose. This is not your purpose but running a game isn't about individual needs but group needs and overall goals. > If i wanted to play lottery i would buy it in the nearest shop, and still it would be better then spending months on that super-rare item. > Even financially. Well playing the lottery probably has a smaller chance of winning and it costs money every time you participate. The interesting thing though is that you say playing the lottery is better, even financially and yet you play GW2 and not the lottery. Something is not adding up here...

It's just a luxory item. You tired of gambling for it? Don't. Not the Egg Sac directly, but the method of acquiring it. It would still be deluxe if it is behind the hardcore wall if you are somehow bothered about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would still be deluxe if it is behind the hardcore wall if you are somehow bothered about it. It is what it is. RNG drop, proven by years method to keep players busy. It's a bonus drop, you get your fun in meta (if you do) , you get the loot, reward. Meta was never about 'acquiring sack'. Meta works, players do it and hope for bonus. This takes us to my previous question, Why change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I feel for this game your proposition fails. Having said that there is more than challenge and RNG. There is also grind or repetition that is not based on RNG like this game has plenty of already.

Extremely unlikely sure, but it's not an illusion because there is an actual chance and some people have been lucky, but yes this why they do it, so it meets their goal of keeping certain people playing (not everybody cares enough about chac eggs after all). And that's my point.. it serves a purpose.

I still don't see how replacing 1 super rare reward with different not-so-rare rewards on weekly basis will somehow kill that game. I see more options here, why do you think it is bad?

But i don't want GW2 to die. Alright, that's fair enough. That explains that part to me. > I still don't see how replacing 1 super rare reward with different not-so-rare rewards on weekly basis will somehow kill that game. I see more options here, why do you think it is bad? Now don't start exaggerating. I never said it would kill the game. What I am saying is that doing this will serve a smaller purpose than the one it's serving now. So I do not see why ArenaNet would be interested in making the changes you suggest. Because what you gain will be a loss to others and that only makes sense if more people win than there would be people who lose out. I'm sure that the people who did get it so far would be ticked off when this item would become more reliable to acquire and I also suspect that players that aren't so skilled that have been killing the chak gerent many times in the hopes of getting this drop will also be ticked off.
