As dissatisfied as I am with blizzard, this is an important design point: it was wrong to make galleon, sha, nalak etc. 20x easier after 10 years, they should've had a 1 in 100 drop immediately instead of 1 in 2.000, then 1 in 100 after a decade, so now the fact another 1 in 1.000 drop (this cobalt) had appeared was bad, but now with this hotfix it means they indeed understood 1 in thousands drop rates are bad and draw the line at 1 in 100-200 or so, which is good imo because it makes grinds much more reasonable even in cases of extreme bad luck; if you got extremely unlucky on mounts that were 1 in 1-2k drop it could take years despite doing them with a character capped account every single week, which is way too much, you shouldn't get significantly older while farming a single mount, and a 1 in 100-200 drop prevents that, as long as you use enough toons obviously.
I wonder if the person setting the drop rate thought they needed to set it at 1% by putting in a .01, when the /100 was already being done somewhere else. Overall this was the best news drop all day.
Better late than never. Was gettin' a bit yawn farming it on 2 full accounts every 4th day to no avail (even worse when it reset every day). I'm on the wrong side of 1000 kills at this point.We will beta test the new droprate on it today in EU, it starts spawning from 06:00 AM
Early indications this morning looks like 1/100 drop after the hotfix here in Europe.Seen 3 drops in 12 groups so far. Mostly 20-25 people in each raid group.
Hows about drops from Caverns world bosses? Still havent seen anything for anyone, ever.
I got this on the second week, I didn't even know there was a mount drop and it was in a green bag not even a epic bag.
That is the mount from Researchers, not the same mount we are talking about here
Inline with other drops like what - the toys hat have an abysmal droprate?
What a complete joke of a "hotfix" as of this moment I killed him on 35 characters in raids with average 15 players and it dropped 1 time! Please get a grip jesus christ, 35 x 15 = 525! 1 drop in 525 kills. No get back to us when you really up it to 1 % minimum and dont ever put anything below 1 % we had enough
