Black Ice Main Hand Weapon drop for Guardian Fighters

Sometimes game developers get it all wrong.

Below is a logic loop on how to try to get your main weapon drop in the Icewind Dale


1. Force me to pick a side. AB or TT.
2. Look for an epic Heroic Event to get main weapon drop
3. Only 50% of people can invite me to their instance if I ever get a party invite
4. Cant swap to their instance. Why?
5. Run to Travel gate.
6. Go to another zone
7. Travel back to proper zone.
8. Race to epic heroic event
9. If it is not finished already try to join in
10. As a Tank I have almost zero DPS compared to every other class
11. Tank the controller Controller or other Epic HE Boss because no-one else can
12. Get my reward
13. Wow - check it out a whooping 25 Black Ice and an uncommon reward
14. Knowing that it is a 1%-3% chance to drop
15 Go back to step 1 and try all over again

Do this hundreds/thousands of times (that's what it feels like)

Please fix this lunacy. I have spent so much time and effort in the game only to be halted in my progress because a game developer does not get it.

When will this madness stop.

    It's all down to the RNG and being in the right encounter at the right time. I know people who have gotten multiple main hands or gauntlets. However, most have not gotten either of them. Besides the RNG, the other issue is the number of people participating in an encounter. The more people that show up, the more diluted your chances become. I have started any number of Major encounters with only 3 people and by the time it was finished there were over a dozen players. All this does is make more difficult to have a good result that will modify your RNG roll for success.

    Bad luck, I got my weapon in my 3rd beholder and the gauntlets later in only 11 epic encounters (total) on my GF main (though I was since the beginning of the encounters in both drops).

    Similar story here. My GF is my 3rd-stringer; the alt I pull out when I'm bored with my DC main or GWF alt. First visit to DV had a Beholder, with main hand drop, and less than a dozen HE's later, I got the gloves.

    My main and set have seen 3 Elk Tribe weapons total. No gloves or main hand for either. :mad:

    I have three 16k+ characters (DC,GF,CW) that have all run god knows how many Heroic Events. Only the CW so far has seen a drop and it was the MH off Beholder.
    Moral of the story is, random sucks, welcome to MMO's.
