Got both drops today after a looong farm, so yes, it worked.
If youre gonna quote me, dont remove parts of what I said.
I think they should also increase the spawn rate of Rotfeaster and the drop rate of the mount that it drops. It's horrendous ...
Sharpbladez is right. I don't understand why are people attacking him...I am farming these 8.3 things on 17x 120s (+2nd account 110 level trials for extra chances)Corpse Eater is probably the easiest 8.3 (Mount) Rare to farm.Yes... RnG is always RnG, I am not complaining about % chances on X things. I am just killing things over and over, until i drop what i wanted, without having any (or just minimum) expectations. You get used to that after 15 years of playing WoW...BUT at least literally anybody can SOLO Corpse Eater (and it is up most of the time) >.< Now compare all the effort (and spawn rates) for Rotfeaster, Ishak, Rei Lun, Ha-Li.(I've been there... Missing only Rei Lun Mount)Also...Meanwhile no changes/hotfix for All-Seeing Eyes Toy... Whoever farmed that one, knows what I mean (otherwise just don't bother commenting, please...)That Toy is the true NIGHTMARE. You can kill Tentacles for hours without the spawn... and even if somehow you manage to find the Rare, the drop % is super low.If somehow you drop that one, then you have to kill another (super strong) Rare in Pandaria, and PRAY for the 2nd part of the Toy......ON THE SAME CHARACTER... Because both parts are BOP, so you basically can't farm it on alts.One character -> Once a day -> No luck? Now you have to wait for those 2 particular Assaults to be up again ^^So yeah, this hotfix is bull$%^&...I don't often write here, but i got triggered by RagnarokEnd ignorance, so i had to react >.< (My apologies everyone).You can quote/attack me now ;)Just leave Sharpbladez alone (and for the record... i don't know the guy).
Arachnoid Harverster next? Got 2.5k kills on that !@#$%! :S
Thanks Evilpony. I dont think the people arguing with me are even collectors. There are many drops from the same zones with longer spawn times and low droprates. I was going to list them all out, but it seems pointless to post it on here. The toy with 2 halfs to collect being a major problem. I dont believe toys should even have droprates as low as mounts or pets, because they are so rarely seen by other people.Also, since Ive seen it mentioned, Arachnoid Harvester's mount has a much lower droprate than these 2 hotfixes have, with a 30-60 minutes respawn time. Thats been around since June 25th of last year, yet no buffs to it? Ive seen many people reporting 1-2k kills and still no mount. Just be consistent Blizzard.
Drop chance checks out, got the mount on the first kill after the hotfix.
Why do people complain about the drop rate for non-essential collectibles in the first place?
Corpse Eater's drop rate isn't horrible; I got the mount on the first kill the very first week it was open. Now, you know someone who needs their drop rate buffed? Rustfeather. I have seen the wheely thing drop exactly twice since Mechagon opened, and neither time was for me. I see the Ishak mount more often, sometimes as many as three per kill (although again, never for me, lol).
What about the King Mechagon mini figure?
8.2 rares need buff too
I am happy with drop-rate increases on any mount. Even if I already farmed a mount 'the hard way', I wouldn't want to wish some of the grinds I did on my worst enemy, let alone on some casual who just really wants to fly around on a vulture or something. The droprate on many of the items in 8.3 seem very overtuned. Previous 'rare-rich' zones (arathi, argus, timeless isle) all featured many "rare" drops that were 1:50 chance or less. Especially pets and toys (looking at you, eye toy that requires 2 rare drops AND has rares with spawn conditions) have much lower droprates in 8.3 compared to what we've seen before: "normal" droprates for toys/pets were historically between 1:10-1:20, with one or two exceptions at 1:50-1:100. What I am curious about is specifically "why these two?". It feels to me like the droprates must have been bugged, even though the droprates seemed very consistent with the other mounts blizzard introduced in this patch. Or is this a prelude to more droprate increases?
