SUPPORT your opinion thanatos....the scroll drop rate is the worst invent of the devs...and worse that you can have a lot of them from an enchanted equip and you cant change them for others that you havent
What does it matter anyways for ppl doin eb's only. I'm guessing many ppl hunting scrolls r fortunate to even play the large eb's. There was a day when min cs was the rule of the day for EB clans. That bar has lowered a lot. For those of u in that category be happy n keep hunting.
Nicely put. Support. But I'm sure this will be ignored because this is not the money grabbing part of the game.
Great work op nice informative thread ... That being said u obviously don't know using analytics and facts about eb's and the dev's ineptitude is against TOU .. So enjoy your ban and silence Jk but great work ...
I suspect the drop rate is completely intentional. Prior to the conception of HTE new EB (series) were released on a regular basis. Every new eb has a higher plunder rate associated to it. This horrible drown rate in the bone dragon series effectively puts a brake on the 'need' to develop new EB's which at some plunder rate point make HTE obsolete. That would be very inconvenient. Instead of new ebs, the devs now release hunts and PvP events...
I agree that drop rate in these ebs suck.But once u get big these r the best ebs to earn decent gold; which helps all of us to grow.
Nice analysis. I'm not shocked by the numbers, they were around what I would have guessed. A point to put things in perspective: First, I don't think most ppl want all the bone dragon equipment. As you point out, by and large the equipment sucks. The main point of the equipment is to be able to move on to the next eb. So you only need one piece of equipment from each eb. So it's not really that bad.
Thank you op for the very good mathematical analysis. Your raw numbers and conclusions match my experience for almost 8 months doing dragon bone ebs, mostly spent in a few clans other than those you analyzed. The most disheartening aspects to me are that many time only one scrolls drops for an entire clan in a given eb; and that you will likely earn many useless duplicate scrolls once you get an item enchanted. I currently have 8 extra talon ring scrolls and 7 extra mesmeric ring scrolls. Some of the items have decent stats and are worth pursuing (ss helm and boots, aff trinket). support for your well documented opinion that scroll drop rates need a substantial increase.
The whole dragon series has been 1 big failure - taking too long to achieve and equip out dated so quickly. Additionally the whole smithing is a joke....enough said - waste of peeps time and dev time...means waste of valuable budget by ATA.
Why would people chase events equipment if they could get equal or close equipment for free from ebs that are not pay to play. Drop rates are working as coded. They suck to entice players to spend chasing pay to play equipment. Better profits for devs. No need to over think this one.
The relic eb's pay well as well as unique as for using eq for the next eb. IMO there is no rush or need to increase drop rate. 1st off those that earned their drops n opened eq r ripped off. Forums continue having ppl want things easier n ignore those who earned it. Whats good for one is good for all. Promoting discounts or easier progress has happened enough as is.
Too many scrolls for some useless equip,the only good part of the equip is:gloves,armor,boots and trinket,the rest as rings,dragon minion and helmet now are worse than new equips released in promos
Yeah, isn't 2% drop rate public knowledge, you did about 3days of work to figure 1.75%. My hat is off to you sir. That said 1.5yrs is crazy for equipment
Wow drop rates are crazy bad Ty for doing the math, how about devs let us double enchant and cough up a plunder bonus for all the useless scrolls or swap each one for a build token
