Me and loads of other people would like to see a permanent 2x drop, drop rates of TT mats are way too low at normal drop rate, TT is just a waste of time when it's not 2x drop, people don't go in anymore, only when its 2x drop.

Please take this great idea in consideration GMs!b:pleased

    Not a great idea and I believe this was suggested already before...

    Would make everything boring + too easy if the drop rates were always 2x :/

    I mean, double exp/spirit/drop weeks meant to be something special, or?

    Please explain how that would make anything boring?
    I think 1x drops are boring, with 2x drops there is a chance to get gold mat so its less boring (most ppl dont have time to do over 9000 runs for a gold mat).

    Also, it wont make anything easier/harder, just less time consuming.

    Well yeah its special but then they could do 4x drop as event?b:victory

    That would bring a kind of casualty to this game...
    I mean, hey, isn't it a nice feel to work hard to accomplish your goal?
    It's just the game grew pretty casual nowadays... it's not hard to level anymore etc. ...
    So why making the game more easy? Where's the challenge, if you just have to do "3-4 TT runs" to gain all mats you need?

    And with 1x drops there is still a chance to get a gold mat!
    And anyway, you could just buy the gold mat. With 2x being permanent, prices would go lower and lower... good for buyers, but in the end bad for the sellers.
    I think everything is fine (or not) the way it is now. No need to change such a kind of a thing...

    I agree with this thread.

    I enjoyed grinding while in 2x events. Now I barely do it to cover my costs for skills. And it's only going to get worse.

    I want it back. b:thanks

    Unfortunately I doubt it's ever going to happen. b:sad

    During 2x I got 8 war drums in one run. That's a bit insane if you ask me. In my opinion the rates right now are fine. I just pretty much finished my TT90 gear, without much of a hassle. Though I only get 1 - 2 antennas per run, I'm more than willing to run an instance 6-7 times to complete a piece of gear.

    As well, gold mats are supposed to be rare. It's not something you run 10 times and get.

    If this were to be implemented, it's no different from a private server. Why take a year to get any good when you can take a week, right? ... oh wait, that's how it's already is ._.

    That's exactly the point! Would be Private Server fun mode...

    Drop rates are fine, we managed before 2x, we can manage again. You just want it back because lately you've been able to slack off and still get what you need. Instead of complaining about it get in game and go run TTs for hours a day like I and many others had to before 2x was ever introduced to the game.

    Or.. be lazy and don't run them. No matter what you do though, quit complaining... Oh! and there's already a thread like this, use the search function next time. >.>

    Well, you probably never did HH3-x...
    To be honest ive ran about 100 3-2's at 2x drop and seen an average of 1 gold mat per 5 runs, which means 1 out of 10 with normal drop, thats fricking low man QQ.


    So yeah i agree to this idea.

    Like I said, I've about finished my TT90 set. Which means I've done 3-1. I don't know about the rest, but during 2x I did about 5 runs of 3-1, in which 2 evil minion's shell dropped.

    And even if the chances were 1/10 for a gold mat, I don't think that's "fricking low". Considering the chance to get a mold is what? I've run many many BH's, and I've only had like 3 mold drops from them. I don't think TT rates are bad at all.

    1 gold mat per 5 run during 2x rofl

    everytime I ran 3-2 and 3-3 we would get at least one, and lots of greens which are profitable such as masks in 3-2 and auras in 3-3. sometimes 2 gold would drop from the same boss.

    only ppl who suggest this idea are too lazy to do more runs to get the mats they want.

    with todays prices it isnt so bad idea.. every 2x event lower prices of molds and green mats, and they dont want to get up after.


    i admire all 70s and 80s running their TTs/FBs while 1x lol... for one 100-200k worth mat/mold. wth? b:shocked

    prices are so bad that even h-lvl herc venos stop to farm low TT for mats b:chuckle

    i have nothing againts doign several runs to get my TT mats...
    howver i get pissed when i tank a full TT run and only 3 green mats drop and the squad has to fight over them. No seriously that happened once 3 mats from a full TT3-1 i was so pissed since i spent 100k in armor repair and i dint get at least one mat. AT least in 2X the whole squad can get 2-3 TT mats for their armors. The problem with this idea is that there'sa lot of greddy Veno's out there who use TT for profit and dont want to see their profits suffer from the extra drops.

    I agree, and even more, barbs usually get first pick, but DDs get last -- and I burn through MP pots like crazy dammit even if I don't have as many repairs. TT is so not worth it for me, because even if I sell the mats I can end up with negative profit. b:angry

    Who the **** got the idea that DDs should get last drops? If barbs whine about repair, and rightfully so btw (I dont disagree with them), imagine the repair cost without a DD to kill the boss faster.

    Instead I blame the **** low drops because not everyone gets a chance to get a mat.

    More drops for everyone I say.

    What people don't realize is if it's bad for sellers, the sellers won't sell anymore since it won't be profittable.
