Welcome to the feelsbadman meeting along side us Hunters who havent seen Rag bow entire last patch, we know ya pain n struggle.
Making it completely RNG with no bad luck protection on top of only getting 1 chance a week makes it even worse than the Legion Legendaries, I'm not really surprised that they haven't learned anything since then though
Make it a guaranteed drop from Mythic and that's it. A legendary weapon for those who beat the hardest content in the game is totally fair
A triumphant roar echoes from atop the Seat of the Aspects as Nasz'uro, the Unbound Legacy is formed.
A big difference here is that Evokers are new, their story is being told, the xpac is ABOUT evokers period. The legendary and everything with it, feels like a smack in the face. Im sure most of the people here saying its fine are either the few evokers who got it already or bitter folks who want a legendary for their own class. Making this a detailed, lengthy quest chain that tells more of the evoker lore and story would be great. Similar to how mages had to do Firelands back when they were questing for their staff. A storyline with raiding, questing, etc. Why couldnt this be the same thing since this the evoker xpac? Another tier or two and no one will give a damn about the legendary anymore anyway.
I don't mind the drop rate, I'll get it in a few expansions, but what in worried about is the material cost. Older legendaries are relatively easy to do once they're redundant for the story, but this one requires materials that will be a lot rarer in the future, impossible to solo since you can't teach your alt's the recipes.
One of my concerns, on top of the drop rate (really more so Blizz took 6 weeks to clarify there's no point doing lower difficulties), is that the item to start the questline drops off the last boss in the instance. At that point, your progression might be done and the Legendary is worth nothing until the next tier. So you cleared Normal and are on to Heroic? What are the chances you get a drop off of Normal Sarkareth before you clear the raid on Heroic? What are the chances you clear Heroic and get a drop before clearing Mythic? Most players want the Legendary to help get their raid new kills.
Man, I'm just so damn tired.. will anything in this game ever be done right the first time again?
This article nails all of the feels. Item doesn't feel legendary just because of some vague/low drop rate, and the region-wide announcement seeds nothing but resentment for the evokers in our guild. There's nothing to work toward; might as well go to Vegas.
Mythic kills at the very least should remain at 100% drop rate. I'm not a mythic raider but the item being 100% drop for only the World First on such a hard difficulty that barely less than a few hundred guilds in the world have cleared? Yeah Blizzard, come on now.Also the fact there is no bad luck protection and Blizzard were vague about how the item dropping even works... its really frustrating and sad situation.When the solution is to level new Evokers with LFR gear to try roll more dice for such a grand item... yeah the design process failed here...
What good does this leggo even do for healer evokers ? Since we use a damn staff anyway ?
I stepped away from retail cause I couldn't take the mental abuse of that constant emote & how long I had to wait just because I play solo and need the public que.
Frankly after 15yrs them openly admitting to using random check boxes to get an item to drop how do we trust anything now, far as we know they can change anything to cause or not to cause something to drop. There's no trust that RNG is REALY rng
"you don't feel that excited, as the excitement is diminished and what many players have described when they get this Legendary is relief, not joy" ive been saying this about the drop rate for mounts for years. things that are this rare go from having a chance to feel joy to the relief that you can stop farming for something. that sense of its finally over. getting anything rare in this game is the definition of insanity but we still do it. i would be less annoyed with the low drop rate of this if i didnt have to then sink so much gold into building it. i feel like blizzard should have picked 1 either a rare drop or expensive to craft
I think the drop rate is fine. Maybe not everyone is going to get one. I think that is fine. It's not like everyone ends every tier in BiS. A legendary holds a sorta special place. But I think it's fine if not every Evoker has it next tier or beyond.
Considering that even if you get the item, there's still effort to craft the weapon, I believe it should have a higher drop rate. I doubt every lfr evoker would be able to craft it, since many people do not understand how the crafting system and order system actually work. For this reason, and the incredible amount of gold you need to sink for it, there's still much effort to be put, past the drop chance itself.
