    Honestly months later i have not touched Chult and i have been very "On and Off" on the game, more off than on. I used to spend multiple hours daily in this game and now i barely play 1 or 2 day a week, i do some weeklies for a bi of AD and some guild stuff to help my guild but then i realize what is the situation and i just turn off the game.

    Not being able to earn those achievements is extremely disapointing for me, as i love unlocking achievements for my favourite games but i simply refuse to waste thousands of my time on this stuff for maybe RNG giving me 1 or 2 rings at most.

    Give me a concret way to get them, like zen market, AH, campaign store, and ill grind my HAMSTER !! I don't mind. But RNG ... NO, just NO !!

    When i consider i never saw a Brutality +5 Ring and i must have ran Demo/Edemo hundreds and hundred of time, with getting only ONE +4 Brutality, i know this system is flawed.

    Im ok with RNG for items, its kinda like the goal of the game, playing to get new items and get your character better, and eventually if new rings come out, the old ones get outdated and if you never got them... oh well you move on and try to get the new one instead. But tying achievements to this is just WRONG, so wrong.

    Right now im kinda like between 2 planes. I mean i still play older content and kinda do some river district a little bit still to get aboleth weapons... but im not touching chult and eventually if new content come out than require playing chult first or stuff from chult, ill just have to pass and quit the game for good.

    They could definately fix this, they just refuse. The worst is the PS4 didn't got them !!! What they got is at least doable.

    I don't agree with Master of Svarborg. Having to depend on other peoples skill and build to win something is wrong. I would had been ok if it was not dying yourself, wich i did several time. I shouldn't be responsible for the failures of others.

    But those rings achievements are a whole new level of "Hamsterery". I made a lenghty post on my own thread so i won't start over another here but yeah they should really do something about them.

    Maybe that precisely why they don't answer. Some of us are in limbo right now. I look at the game and i think about how many hours i put into it (3347 hours to be precise) and i don't wanna quit it... I still have "fun" playing the game even if some parts of it feel like a routine. But then i realize how those achievements will be impossible for me to get and i just want to stop playing the game altogether cause i feel betrayed by the devs. Honestly until Master of Svarborg i tough they where very fair with achievements. Throne had a problem for a while but they ended up fixing it !

    Then Master of Svarborg is uber cheap but i always kept in mind eventually in 2 years or so, this would be old content and could be done in the end !!!

    But the rings RNG is just over the limit. It won't matter if my character(and my friends) get stronger and can melt Chult. It will still be an insane grind.

    Honestly im still hoping they will do something. Making the rings available in boxes, or in a campaign store, or removing the "bound to account" thing so we can at least trade for them. But if i hear they won't fix them at all and they will remain as they are forever, i think ill just quit and call it the end.

    My main motivation for the game was always to get stronger so i could keep up with the new content and be able to do the new achievements. Doing FBI for instance was not an easy task when it came out. But when the achievement poped i was happy and had a sense of acomplishement.

    But waiting hundreds if not thousands of hours on RNG is not a sense of acomplishement.

    Hell i would had been less insulted if there would had been an achievement call "get a legendary mount" at some point , cause at least if you are not lucky with boxes you can save your AD and maybe even put some real money partly to get one, wich in counter part would be usefull too stats wise. But the slayer ring, RNG luck if your only option...

    I guess you are "lucky" but i can't speak for you but 700 is still a damn freaking huge number. I had to do Gyrion 40 times to get my weapons restore in mod11 and i was getting sick of it at the end and couldn't wait to be done...

    I know some peoples will be crazy enough to go for it, some peoples only play this game... I personally play other games as well. Im fine with grinding to a reasonable ammount but at some point... like cmon.

    So you spent 52 million AD to get this? Yeah I don't think that's how it's supposed to be...

    52M ad is nothing and it only took like 1 week 8 h a day

    "Nothing". Most people are starting to get their first legendary mounts finally. I have 8 on two of my characters and 52 million is <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> ton of money for me. Sure it's nothing if you've been praying on 100 characters and doing leadership boxes for two years and buying off the markets and selling more expensive and other stuff the richest of the richest in this game do.

    Or if you are lucky to pull a few legendary tools then you're good. But saying 52 million is "nothing" is just basically saying <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> you to all the casual players.

    Wish I had 8 hours a day to play video games. But between work and sleep I just can't do it.

    I have farmed and ran 100s of hunts and no +5 :(

  • Even farming for the lure trophies is growing tiresome. The drop rates for many of the t1 hunts is inane. Additionally, lore doesn't pop after fighting the t1 hunts for me (Despite doing Spli-Ti at least 10x now). Agreed though. The ring achievement is ludicrous. It's not skill based at all.

    Wish they would change to 1 ring instead of all. So far only 1 legendary ring I got in chult.
  • mathnotevenonce#2925 mathnotevenonce Member Posts: 34 Arc User
    I've now done 70+ Spli-Ti hunts and countless ones of the others. Still no +5 ring. I'm growing tired of this. Who adds an achievement that has this HAMSTER RNG? Look it'd be one thing if it was one ring, fine. But having to do this for +5 rings?

    I have friends that pull the +5's regularly. Meanwhile, I've had less than 4 +4 hunt rings drop in the last several months of hunting. Whoever added this achievement is an HAMSTER.

    If you have to choose... give up work! It ain't ever gonna get any better.

    Anybody know if mod13 simplifies this stupid achievement? Being able to hoard more lures is nice, but the drop rate was HAMSTER. Still no +5.

    yes, we need a fix for achivement........
  • mahburgmahburg Member Posts: 598 Arc User
    Well with all the talk of QOL improvements one would have thought this would make the list but I guess not!

    This issue is being discussed weekly but no specific decision has yet been made regarding the ring availability.
