Feedback Release 223

But you get half your progress from the secret layer. Not doing it is not really an option.

 

well, the good thing about this patch is customization of gear

the mortis set is bugged, but it was intentionally made in such a buggy state, because they think that we're all cheaters and bug users

 

Anyone has got Vargulf's long bow? Since the customization-release it has disappeared. Is it still in the game? Nobody seems to get any of it...

 

I have it
You can't get it because you are playing with a hoaxbow

 

It seems that the drop of those items is bugged: for example, the old book of vargulf doesn't drop either for the mages.

 

So, you suggest that if I would use a simple longbow, I'll get Vargulf's?... This I didn't try ... so be it. I'm so hopeless

 

The sarcasm in the "taunt" is just dripping all over the place.

trakilaki is messing with you. You realize how utterly rediculous his statement is? And it's meant to be.

It's no different than if he told me that the reason Sigrismar's weapon adornment hasn't dropped for me in a year of trying is because I'm not currently using Sigrismar's weapon adornment.

*rolls eyes*.

Everyone reading this, please go to "Creative Corner" and vote "yes" on the Locker Expansion. We need more votes to get it.

 

Of course I know, that these "tricks" to get some unique items or anything, are ridiculous. But like I said, i was (am) hopeless. Anyway I have change some lovely letters with our beloved support team, and I've found out that this item's droprate is that miserable (or they don't know either )... so keep trying...

 

Update to the "no drop Sigrismar"...

Last night it dropped on Fatal and was crap. Tried to refine it and 1st attempt turned to glyphs.

Running with group this morning, on second run of Inf 3 it dropped again. Was crap. Tried refining and got different crap. Tried refining again and got glyphs.

Twice in 12 hours. I'm now hopeful that I might this week actually be able to get one that is useful.

 

Rather jokes.

Well, unique drops are incredibly unstable, that's the problem.

 

Your analogy is not correct
Items of choice do have impact on drops. You were not getting the adornment because you were probably neglecting the Fatal difficulty ... which proves with your next post

pro players play fatal then upgrading items to T8 ... noobs are playing on infernal 3 or 4 hoping for a cheap deal.
All my items with 3x golden base stats were drop on Fatal ... including my Sigrismar Torso.

Well yes and no.
Here is why. For a start, that longbow should have never showed up in the customization window because it is a 1H Longbow ... and they are using 2H weapon. That is how the customization items and their display are working. You can only see items from the slots in which you have equipped item ... but also you can only see items of the weapon type you are wearing. In this case equipped 2H should never display 1H skins ... and also since the offhand slot is empty you can't see of hand skins either.
If you remove all your items you will be able to see exactly 0 skins ...
Now ... there is a bug (at least we think it is a bug) Vargulf offhands are not dropping.
I don't have the offhand item on any of my toons from all classes. Actually I do have the weapon and the shield on my DK


BUT ... I have it only because I am keeping both the old unique shield and weapon.
Offhand not dropping is probably a bug for all classes.
However ... rangers have double bug. First the quiver is not dropping ... the second the weapon is not dropping because it is labeled under wrong type.
That skin (the old Vargulf longbow) is 1H longbow and as I have explained it shouldn't be possible to see it wile having 2H weapon equipped. But with 1H weapon equipped it is not showing up at all. I can't see that skin with 1H weapon equipped.

Just to make it triple bugged ... if I equip 2H and apply the skin on it ... it would never appear in the slot.
That means that skin doesn't currently exist ... or it does exist but it is bugged and the game is not recognizing it ... therefore not dropping at all. I will take a screenshot later.

Now you know what I meant by "you can't get it because you are playing with a hoaxbow"

 

I run a LOT of Fatal.
PvE Leaderboard: I have Bronze or Silver in all 9 maps and all of it was run on Fatal (didn't start till the last day of DtU).
I've been solo'ing Fatal in PW since r220. In scaling world I run either Fatal or Inf3 to get gem ingredients.

And by the way, I've way way more than thrice the number of Fatal runs than Inf3/4 totaled together (which in PW only gets runs as groups.. and I've only 1 bronze in Group PvE LB, 0 Silver, 0 Gold).

The DtU was most efficient on Excruciating. As such I have a T2 Amulet of Death, a T2 Herald Staff, a T2 Herald Gloves. I tried to get Sigrismar's Adornment from there but it never dropped.

Currently I need some 10,000 Augment cores, 6000 Materi Cores, and I've now got the Dragan Cores I need, but my upgrade priority shifted. None the less, I'm grinding for the Materi cores via Fatal. And occasionally doing the Fissure farming (it's an intensive hour that I can't do very often, but when I can it's quite productive for Augment cores).

 

Getting augment core with draken is a much better deal

 

Not until I get all the ruins I need from Knob... Till then all draken goes there.

Just like I don't buy Infernal passages with Materi Fragments cause they all go to Augment cores.
