    its a bit off topic, but since people talk here about the event dungeons and the loot....
    does anyone know, what the rare drop from the final event instance is? portobello fashion got completed with the 3rd dungeon, and i hoped for a funny easteregg in the 4th instance

    Yeah, I saw a drop announcement, but I think a lot of people had moved on to the new instance as well, judging by the amount of LFG for it. (And people saying they needed a certain number of runs... no idea if that was just reference to hitting the final accreditation cap or some other new objective.)

    I'm not sure if there's any truth to the beholder glitching if your bag is full, or if you're stuck holding a crystal. I do not think either is true as I've had little trouble interacting with it despite encountering both those issues a lot. I know there was zero connection between it and waiting or not waiting for the group-up at the door. I didn't run the Workshop a lot though because I just don't like it that much. The carrot isn't worth the stick.

    For my part, I've got a character who's behind in accredation and needs lots of runs, so they may as well be Artificer's. Otherwise I wouldn't bother; I'm sure the chance of the drop is astronomically low.
    @Venture-1 @Venture from City of Heroes if you remember that far back. Yes, *that* Venture. Yes, I probably trashed your MA arc. For me it was Tuesday.

    well... isnt it funny how not 1 Beholder mount has dropped since being back live...
    must be even lower % on drop now ... like it wasnt bad enough before

    NW... 500 runs and gave up... because that amount of runs is just stupid

    hours wasted

    Thats right ... make us quit ! you know you want to NW....

    @strumslinger @terramak

    Okay seriously, wtf is up with the beholder mount drop? I ran the event now like more t han 150 times and 0 mounts. I havent seen a mount message all day in the chat.

    There are 70 instances at any given time meaning beholder gets touched 350 times every ~6 minutes every hour you do not see a massage means 3500 failed runs.
    Don't expect it to drop in 150 tries imo :)

    on the other side something ppl pay money for has a 0.05‰ chance did you expect a better drop for free i did not and skiped the event.

    I'll wait until they add Mythic mounts in lockboxes and put legendary mounts in the Zen store. If I wanted to gamble, I'd go to vegas, and if I wanted to waste time grinding on the same limited bit of content over and over I'd play Neverwinter. wait. what?
  • eion311eion311 Member Posts: 338 Arc User
    Yeah, I'm at about 160 runs and I haven't seen anything. Ive gotten about 120 Walter coupons though, could we flip a switch and turn those into a mount drop please. At any rate I stopped farming for it. After so much time wasted I give up.
  • agilestoagilesto Member Posts: 516 Arc User
    Drop rate seems definitly broken now, haven't seen any admin warning since yesterday afternoon, despite the thousands of runs all the players did. What a great communication job again from the dev, they unlock the mount one week after the release of the instance, they don't fix a broken rate, gratz
  • two30two30 Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 1,168 Arc User
    The Beholder Personal Tank has been really anticlimactic. After the devs' childish taunting "Haha! ♪ WE know something ♪ YOU don't know!", I expected something more interesting.

    Basically, it's only a small giveaway? Only a couple are chosen based on an RNG raffle.
  • wildfiredewildfirede Member Posts: 886 Arc User
    yep, now question is if this week's RNG s even worse than last.

    Accreditation isn't needed to get the Owlbear Figurine. That takes 120 Dice best picked up from Respen's Game at 3 per run. Accreditation gets you the Wand, the Intern Gear, a Staldorf Companion and, ultimately, the slightly dubious Apocalypse Dagger.

  • ph33rm3ph33rm3 Member Posts: 549 Arc User
    Sorry. I meant the dagger.
  • wylonuswylonus Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 2,376 Arc User
    that mindflayer, echoed the words, "I hate you", sound like it was from devs team, they hated us.

    man, that cold.

    just saw an admin drop message
  • gankdalf#8991 gankdalf Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 930 Arc User
    There is 56 instances of workshop atm, so if each instance has 5 players and runs it 8 times an hour u get what? like 50 000 chances of a drop every day and maybe 2-3 beholder drops a day?

    Love the RNG.

    the RNG is that insanely low just to make sure the AH doesn't get flooded with legendary mounts, so they can keep the legendary mount economy in balance.
  • demonmongerdemonmonger Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 3,350 Arc User
    Every 300000 games played it drops

  • mentinmindmakermentinmindmaker Member Posts: 1,492 Arc User
    Most likely the lowered number of drop messages is because people do Artificer Workshop a lot less after the initial storm and after chapter 4 was released.
  • relkindxrelkindx Member Posts: 77 Arc User
    I know I guy in my guild who bought one on the AH. He didn't do the buyout, he put in a bid and won. However, the item is listed as expired with his winning bid on it. Currently, he's out those millions of AD and he hasn't gotten it in the mail. He opened a ticket, but just got a boilerplate response.

    He'll get it after next maintenance. Winning things by bid is not behaving properly at the moment, but it all seems to come out in the wash, so to speak.

    right...

    I have done over runs from when i wake up 12pm to 4am GMT pretty much everyday to try get a beholder mount...

    Now i have officially burnt out my need to do any event that conjures up
    For the simple fact of i just wasted a whole month of my life.
    well i could most probably set up a homeless shelter with the amount of useless food i have thrown on the floor..
    and i'm not talking about the odd lliira's or veins or HEY if WE are LUCKY!! we get a whole rank 5 if not a SPECIAL Rank 3 lol.... im talking about 100s of stacks of them constanly dropped.

    the dice is good for more food i guess....

    tbh a prize better than the food or rank 3s would have made this ridiculous grind alot easier to bare with.


  • wylonuswylonus Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 2,376 Arc User
    classic case of grinding burnout.

    should have collect for 50 or 100 crystal blue dices to buy beholder mount better than trying to beat RNG, not everyone is that lucky. since devs are "hating us" since they used mindflayer quote "i hate you" when we look and check mechanical beholder. to us, it doesnt seem exist except seeing "admin messenger" broadcast.
  • volgeravolgera Member Posts: 34 Arc User
    seriously I find it ridiculous that everyone thinks that "I hate you" message from the mindflayer is a 'hidden' we hate you developer message :/
  • wylonuswylonus Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 2,376 Arc User
    RNG really need to be put down and put to the grave for good, forciblity retire.
    give us another means to "BUY" if we didnt get a "free" prize from adventure in dungeons.
