Drop rate of +5 Underdark Rings

bvirabvira Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 385 Arc User
in Player Feedback (PC)
Problems:

The drop rate of +5 rings is abysmally low, assuming that they have a 1% drop rate (possibly less), it would take me on average 700 runs to get Ring of Brutality +5. Plus very few people run Prophecy of Madness and Throne of the Dwarven Gods now, it makes getting certain +5 rings borderline impossible.

Proposed solutions:

1. Increase the drop rate.
2. Make them bind on equip.
3. Create some sort of coffer donation system where you get +5 rings from donating rings of lower ranks.

    Really this is terrible. I *still* do not have 2 decent +5 rings on my main and the number of combined CN/Pom/Throne/Demo runs I've done... it's gotta be wow.

    +5 rings are mythical gear that other people wear, much as my legendary mount must appear to some players.... Had a variety of +4 rings, but prefer RG.

    Same. Yet to see a legendary ring. With mounts y at least can buy of ah. Seriously would be nice to see rings at campaign window. Would make ichor useful again for ppl who got their armor or twisted sets long ago.

    Yeah, all I'm using my Demonic Ichor for atm is the AD task in the Underdark campaign.

    It's not a problem, but a feature. Drop rates are exactly how they want it to be. The fact that we disagree with that sentiment usually interests nobody else.

    It has now become a problem because very few people are doing skirmishes, just like how very few people are doing siege and they had to lower the banner requirement.

    The problem is the game is extremely easy, so content gets cleared extremely fast, which means that to keep people playing, they have to make drop rates for desirable items lower than 1%, because they want you to play the game a lot, get frustrated, and use your wallet somehow. So you can either ask for something that won't happen (higher drop rates), or for harder content that takes longer to clear on average, or for a change in their economic model.

    I've gotten to the point where I run Throne or PoM maybe once a week for the Cleric.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    Maybe something like... +4 r refinable now, u need 10k rp, demonic ichor is 2, twisted ichor is 100?

    Just free thinking.

    How about being able to upgrade lower tiered rings in Jewellery Crafting...?

    Or devs could make +5 rings selectable. Like blue/purple gear in T1/T2 chests.
  • klangeddinklangeddin Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 882 Arc User
    Just making those rings BoE would go a long way of fixing the issue and improving that content.

    Pls add an NPC which will exchange one red ring for another! or make a box where i can have a choice of all red rings if it drops to me...

    I have never got a single +5 ring to drop for me nor have a got the shard of orcus to drop either. Either or both would be wonderful, but I really doubt it will ever happen.

    This is very common in MMO. Drop rate for any of the best gear is really low.

    Now if you buy the Dragon Key it should increase your % odd of getting a +5 ring. So if the normal % is say at 1%, it should go to 2% or even 3%.

    You also should be able to use multiple keys on one box to increase your % chance.

    It's funny seeing a character with a sub 2k ilvl sporting a +5 Brutality ring. Either they have a 'rich uncle' or they got lucky in their first few skirmishes. This RNG is really out of whack.

    Back when the mod first dropped I suggested an npc that would let you exchange a useless +5 ring for the ring you wanted. Still waiting....
