Now that Hallow End is over for another year,it is time to settle up.We already asked whether you got what you wanted, but according to the informal polls(and the feedback I have been hearing),quite a few people did not actually get everything they were trying for.As we mentioned on the podcast the other week,many people who said they did everything they could probably did not(did you really go trick-or-treating every hour of every day during the holiday?),but it is not too far a stretch to suggest that maybe the drop rates for some of the hardest items to get (the Horseman helm and the Sinister Squashling pet seem to be the toughest,though I heard a lot of stories about hard-to-find toothpicks,too) are a little bit lower than they should be for fairness.
Not so,says Bornakk -- he said while the holiday was ongoing that the drop rates were fine,and now that it is over,he says they are still fine.That does not mean Blizzard wont change it for next year,but it does mean that they do not have any current plans to change the holiday at all.The randomness,as he says,can win sometimes.
Our condolences if you were trying for an item and did not get it -- even on a 50/50 coin flip,there is still a chance to see one side 1000 times in a row.We sincerely mean this one: better luck next year. |
