Voidwatch Drop Rates
I also hate how the destroy all option was moved :(
Im goin to wear perle set doin Kaggen anymore... 0/700+ isnt fun really.. thats sad to hold ppl that long on ugly boring things to kill... ugliest part to shout over and over so where is the fun and sense, the new form of balance?! its true the game balance changed but not the right way puting a 1% droprate item in and make ppl cry about how long it can take to get et... maybe impossible by a lil chance to get it anyways in the next years lol

VW drop rates on good stuff= suck. On crap like logs or other junk = very good.
0/36! I remember those days. They're far, far off in the past now...I think Pil alone is getting close to 0/152 now?
Agree with the comments about dwindling pool of people who will do the NMs. Aside from the biggest problem of the ridiculously random-based drops, this is the most pressing matter, as no-one who has gotten a Toci's harness or whatever wants to do these NMs again. The exception would possibly be Kaggen, which has a nice accessory drop but still, I hardly ever see shouts for this NM now. Can't remember seeing an Akvan shout for several months. Not sure what SE can do to fix it, to be quite honest. I remember one guy at Pil, was white mage. Complained at DDs for changing equip because he couldn't target them. Few days later saw him with Heka's kalasiris...heh. Always happens. Bismarck.Bloodbathboy

Point system for not taking your lot that can be used for items you do. May take forever. But atleast you know you would get something down the road. 0/100 on anything is just wrong.
They need to make it like Neo-Nyzul Kill 25 NM for a chance for 1 piece of equipment or something similar.
I have given up on Pil 0/god knows how many... I have this strong feeling the game hates us more n more each day. Offline

I just hate how you can't transfer drops to other people. I've gone to kaggen a total of 8 times(1 run for clear, the other for boredom) and I've gotten every single drop from him which of course...I don't have any jobs that can use the body...but would have been nice to just hand it over to someone who was 0/9001
On the other hand, all the things I really want(Toci's and coruscanti would be nice...but I mostly do VW for plates these days) continue to elude me... I would like to get into voidwatch but these forums are pretty bleak.
Took me 6 months of work in a dynamis LS with a fair point system to get D-chap back in the day. Pretty sure in that amount of time (just counting stones it would take etc) a dedicated alliance could get anything they wanted and a few would complete their lvl 95* emp. Is that not true? Is there no way to make a point system that would keep people coming? wtf is a point system going to do for vw?
Well seems like the biggest complaint is attendance.
They could make fights scalable depending on the number of people participating. Although it doesn't solve the main problem, it would ease the time wasted gathering 18 ppl, which can now take hours for certain NMs.
Set a "lvl cap like" difficulty so you can still fight the mobs adequately with 18/12/6 ppl. If they allowed drops to be added to alliance pool it would favor Merc businesses, but it would surely get those unused drops to a new owner. When you see someone go "Oh, woop de doo, my 3rd Mekira body, /toss" it gets really frustrating. Offline

This would not be too bad if not for these facts: LS mate got Ace's Mail 2/4 with no stones Random pickup got Heka's 3 times from 12 fights. LS mate got Toki's twice in a row then got Dilarams fight after. 34 member LS I am only person now without Toki's apart from mules 34 member LS I am 1 of 2 people now without Ogiers Legs. Momumentally stupid drop system is monumentally stupid. Barleycup said: » LS mate got Ace's Mail 2/4 with no stones I thought you didn't get a chest if you didn't use void stones. Or did you mean cells? Personally I dont think cells do anything, Ive done over 100 Akvan trading 3 rubi each fight and have yet to get one, friend had done 12 with no cells and got his on the 4th kill. Offline

You can't get the chest without voidstones.
Anyway, am I the only one who doesn't count how many times I've fought a nm? Most of these x/x seem so arbitrary lol. Bahamut.Kujah

This may just be superstition but I think having x2 periapt of glory is making a difference. Ive had 4 glowy bodies since update, 3 of em in the last 2 days, tho I have been on top of all VW nms since its release - picked up 2nd mekira , tocis, hekas and anhur all since i got 550% red per kill. Not just me noticing either, alot of posts on BG about similar happenings.

0 / random very high number I just made up on Aliyat Chakram just to fit in. (Chatting ***, we all know it drops all the time just like Ace's Mail)
For all the people that post about their bad luck I'm sorry you've had bad luck, really I am. I'm sure the amount of time (in months) it takes you to get a Toci's is way, way longer than the 2+ years it took your average Rdm to get pimp hats from dyna. As for farming HMPs and only getting 27/900+ from VW I assume you've never spammed a Zilart T3 or been one of the people who have gone 0/200+ on Toci's? I'm well aware that people have had horrific luck on VW drops especially bodys but I think it's ridiculous that people actually come out with crap like "It's obviously gonna be the pink person who gets the good drop" Why do people troll themselves? Fact is, if that person attends the NM and has a voidstone on them they have as much right to a drop as you do wether they've never done it before and you've done it 700+ times or not. VW is what it is and the proposed implementation of a ticket system to prevent obtaining dupilicate items is awesome but when people post with massively skewed numbers depending on their mood crying all the time that they can't get an item and think they're the only one it's ridiculous. Toci's Harness, situationally the best body piece in the game for a lot of jobs and because people haven't obtained it within 3 months of solid VW the game is broken.... le sigh i feel ur pain tbh 1/322 on mekira
aces is a lie same with ogier legs. did 4 pils last night the leader of the group finally got tocis after going 1/574 i onno about u guys but that pretty HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. the gear i want 0/100+ the gear i dont want (lux ogier body etc) like 1/15 max its beyond stupid tbh. but i sit there and grind em out regardless as long as i keep getting plates i keep making the gils to do VW lol. I'm 0/1 on Akvan...no one ever shouts for that one.
I was around 0/455ish on Mekira, and like 0/375 for Toci's. Stuff is just silly.

Im 0/2349839047832459734598734053 on all bodies.
Could really use the body from kaggen for my pld and bst. But since SE decided to make the 90-95 trials 1500 plates(really? I can make a relic for that much!) they needed a reason to nerf the drop system for it. That as far as I can tell is the only reason why the drop rate is so low. Cerberus.Celll said: » really? I can make a relic for that much! 0/200+ on the Anhur Robe.
Mate is 0/400 >.< didnt they add something to help drop rate?
buddy got ogier's breeches on very 1st gaunab. Lol lucky ***
Carbuncle.Lynxblade said: » didnt they add something to help drop rate? They gave us another red lights KI 25% boost which is like .0000001% higher chance for your bodies! Ogier's, Rubeus, Athos's etc. are not even comparable to the rates of the aura bodies - they are significantly more common.
well i got mekira body in about 30 kills or so lol
