 I have been witness to 16 different players under L25 get the Frozen Reindeer Mount from the Dragon ..

and have yet to witness a L45 get one from the dragon .. It is NOT kewl that these low level characters can get into the Ice Dragon ...

 

 I feel they are exploiting and using us to get what they do not deserve or have not earned .. I have witnessed many of them just get their 'one hit' in and then stand around not even ressing dead L45s

 

 I do hope I am able to earn the Frozen Reindeer Mount from the Dragon as I have dedicated 8-16 hours a day chasing it across all servers .. I have sacrificed my gear many many times in order to keep it from despawning .. and I jump to the other 2 servers to inform others when its spawns .. and I understand sumone will say 'you can buy it with canes' but that's bravo sierra .. I do not have alts to 'farm' canes and should not be forced into such tactics to get it .. My point is .. the lowbies are getting the best item from this event for piggybacking off the sweat of EOCrs brow ..

I'm semi-neutral to the low lvl's. I kinda like them being around as they are fun to chat with. But when the dragon comes, like Urck was pointing out there isn't really much they contribute. Other than making the dragon spawn extra adds because we have more people (from what i hear at least, this is what happens). And of course the much appreciated rezes from the ones that do.

 

So not really sure what to do about them. But i'd hate for them not to be able to complete their seasonal quest either or enjoy the fun of a dragon kill. Perhaps tiered loot similar to plasma lord based on your contribution to the fight. And only the higher tiers have a chance to drop mounts.

 

Also who the thought was a good idea to put gold bags in the treasure from the dragon.

Especially with the drop rate being like 70-80% gold bags ><

 

 

gotten gold 62 times

Wow, I feel your pain. I don't know if I could kill another dragon if that happened to me. Props for keeping trying :)

Just saying, my level 38/39 healer was in tank party earlier. I'd say he was useful, he got gold.

 

In the end, RNG is RNG. I know a couple of people under level 40 who are working very hard to get the reindeer through candycanes. A person might say that getting a reindeer through a frozen gift devalues the reindeer they got through candy canes. Sorry, but HC made it possible for anyone to enter that, and nothing can be done to change either situation. In the end, you're complaining about a RNG, and wanting different pixels that serve the same purpose as pixels you probably already have.

 

Sorry, less Q.Q about a RNG, more pew pew.

 Its not about RNG.. Coz im willing to do the dragon as many times as it takes .. but it makes me ill to see upto 2 dozen under L30 plinking the dragon for 1 damage ata time and getting prizes EOCrs killed for .. and i aint the only one .. many in game feel like this .. Period

But i'd hate for them not to be able to complete their seasonal quest either or enjoy the fun of a dragon kill.

The quest "Trouble at Icicles End", where the kill of the Frost Dragon is required, is a level 40 quest. So they don't need to touch the dragon for a quest; only to piggyback on higher levels for a chance at a nice reward.

 

 

We had this same problem at Halloween. I even saw some complaining about repair cost, so they said they took their gear off, because as long as they got that 1 hit in, it didn't matter what they did from there. One hit and get naked, or run off; they still got a prize.

 

I was hoping this would be remedied at the winter event, and with the big guy being in a cave, that it would be level restricted to 40+, but no, anyone may enter. It also makes it difficult to judge whether the gathered group is sufficient to kill the Dragon (or Wolf, at Halloween). You may see a big group of people, but start clicking on them, and you see 17, 26, 9, etc., which isn't sufficient for killing the big boss.

 

 

Suggested solution would be to have the cave level-restricted with a minimum level of 40 for the big boss. Want to participate? Level up! It's not that hard these days. Follow quest lines and you can easily gain levels just on that XP.

 

I assume though, that lower levels would cry discrimination if only the 40+ characters had a boss to kill with nice prizes, so the remedy to that would be a boss for each level range. Make each cave level-restricted (10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40+), with a boss that has level-appropriate stats. This way, all the level 20s can gather to defeat a boss together, and the 40+ can do the same. There could still be piggybackers, as in any group, but I would think it wouldn't be as easy for them to get away with it in a group of their own level; their stats would be needed.

 

 

And yes, I too am frustrated with getting the 5 gold bag over and over, which doesn't even cover repair costs for a level 45, especially if a death is involved during the battle.

This would be a better solution for future events, for everyone involved.

 

Sorry, I just see whining about a RNG, sounds like you've gotten more presents than most people, but have been unlucky, and persons who you don't think should get presents have been lucky.

As a low level i wish i could contribute more and do more domages to the dragons but i think i should have the same amount of chance than a level 45 because it's an event and it should be for everyone, but even if i do a lower amount of domages i'm still hitting the dragon from beginning to end i'm spending as much time on the dragon as everybody else and even more because i can't tp and i got to run trough a horde of level 45 and die a lot of time
