Scrolls, math, ... and bad planning by the devs

  1. What's more bs than the drop rate is there stats and that I have 9 extra talon ring scrolls and 3 Mesmeric ring scrolls. They are already upgraded , could have acouple others upgraded by now if I didn't have so many dam duplicates ....
     
  2. OP . . . . that was nerd-tastic. And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Nice work. It simply reinforces the belief that the scroll drop rates are abysmal--which we suspected--but we had no idea HOW bad they were. Cheers.

    Here's hoping the Devs actually look at this and adjust the scroll drop rates A LOT.
     
  3. don't think you factored in weighted drop tables. this data is flawed, and since you didn't show your work I can't tell you where you went wrong.
     
  4. Nice work op.

    Hopefully DEVS will read.
     
  5. Well that certainly puts the record straight!! And thank you for such an in-depth break down of exactly how horrible scroll drops are!!! I really hop the devs take notice and fix this. What good is it to drop equipment that will take you a year and a half to enchant, based on doing the bone dragon eb constantly? I mean really? Who the hell got time for that?
    Again thanks for the in-depth reality check and description of an exercise in futility!!!
     
  6. THIS IS THE WORST MATCH UP I HAVE SEEN DEVS U NEED TO DO MUCH BETTER 8 OF MY CLAN CANNOT EVEN PLUNDER CUZ THEYRE TOO SMALL WTH
     
  7. So theres an issue with devs wanting you to play longer? Whats wrong with devs! First they want money to keep the app/updates going. Then they want people playing the game for years. Devs are cruel people
     
  8. I generally hate bumping old stuff but come on devs, make a change. I saw the dev post in another thread saying that you're preparing the next Bone Dragon eb. Soon we'll be up the "2 years of constant bone dragon to get scrolls" mark. Just do something simple like double the drop rates from completely horrible to just pretty horrible. Anything.
     
  9. I havent done many ss/ts..however all kidding aside i have gotten a scroll drop in all but 2 i have done...10 total scrolls lol
     
  10. Yup, the scroll drops and flag bit drops suck. It's pointless (as you have alluded to) to hunt for them. That's probably a good thing you posted this. "hey, I'm going scroll hunting, see you in three years", lol

    Part of the issue is that the game has morphed with the addition of equipment. BFA has taken less meaning and carries more liability than equipment.
     
  11. 1st off only 1 EQ from each of SS TS n AFF is needed to be enchanted for use on subsequent Bone EB's. They r used to hit eb's n not about stats for warring merely a tool.
    2nd they r random drops n the devs made them harder to acquire intentionally. The TGL Bow n Abyssal Sword r hard drops to get as many know.
    3rd many ppl play eb's over their clan size n use bigs to help them finish.
    4th when i was owner we played EB's we could finish in 25-50% the allotted time.
    Eg 12hr EB finish in 3-6hrs max.
    Starting eb's that get too close to losing is not advised n many clans do it.

    Summary: ppl expect a lot n playing overlong EB's means they should trim down their EB Rotation n grow n then proceed upward as warranted. Also Ignoring the Bone eb's pay well n grows ppl is a glaring omission.
    KaW is not a race.

    GL n Enjoy️
     
  12. @ nighthawk.

    What does any of that really have to do with he drop rate of scrolls? The stats in the original post are pulled from large clans that do the eb's quickly. It's not a complaint that the eb's take too long....it's that regardless of time, the equipment is almost impossible to get.

    The abyssal blade or electric storm bow don't take 2 years for the average kaw player to get. They are the "hard to get" equip drops traditionally but they don't even compare to the time to get the bone dragon stuff.
     
  13. News Flash....
    EB noobs claiming EQ is useless whilst having a non war build crack me up.
    U do not use them so why the rants?
     
  14. Haha, this account sure....I have some accounts for all game styles, eb, osw, ee, etc.

    How's that war build of yours? Those are some very nice OWWN tags you have on while sitting in an eb clan and watching from the outside while OWWN get stripped in OSW.
     
  15. Doesn't take 2yrs to get scrolls to enchant for each subsequent eb. My alt n I took much less time than 2 yrs.
     
  16. FYI Jr i have assorted acc's for all types of needs. U wanna talk trash in forums then spew ur ignorance.
    FYI I opened OwwN a war clan n 15mths later n very lil interest i left eb only clans.
    My mistake posting on whiney EB forums n my last time making sense to ppl chasing eq to collect n polish.
     
  17. Just do like the other 99% of kaw pretebd scrolls dont even exist. Scrolls has been the 2nd biggest epic fail besides sh exploit in kaw.
     
  18. I play them for the gold n the ppl that make cc etc enjoyable.
     
  19. Now mate, don't take trash talk personally. It's a joke, it's fun. That's what all of KaW is for, having fun. I loved all of the WDGAF/RCA osw threads discussing the reasons for the osw. There needs to be reasons? You can't just osw and strip because it's a kick in the pants to do it?

    But really, you kinda missed the point. The original post isn't about enchanting the necessary single piece of equip to do the next eb. It's the math regarding time necessary or to be expected to enchant ALL of the bone dragon equip.

    And yes, it's not necessary to get it all enchanted, but there's also no reason why it should be darn near impossible.
     
  20. Gotta love this math. Many thanks. :)
