So, some people have mentioned some concern because I haven’t written in a while! Sorry! I will say I still adore the game and still log in everyday… I’m just discouraged, I guess is one way to put it.
Besides having to work a lot of extra hours in order to raise money due to a lot of bad luck a couple of months ago, there’s just a lot of things I have been waiting for since early this year all coming at once.
Similarly, as mentioned, previous discouragement. I will put it simply with that I hate depending on people. I love helping others, but I hate asking for help myself. One of the top reasons I dislike operation pets is because:
1. The sucky drop rate
2. Lock-outs so I can’t keep trying
3. I would need 7-15 other people.
And I hate that.
And as silly as it seems, I am really paranoid that the Deep Wriggler’s drop rate will change in the upcoming patch. Also, the fact that it has 100% drop rate but chances are I won’t get one for months has a really negative effect on me as I feel like a failure, honestly. It’s like “oh hey, the only reason you can’t get me is you’re not good enough to do it”.
And if it wasn’t for the fact that there is a pet (100% drop no less) and it is officially clarified to be the only one I need (and really, what kind of good pet guide maker doesn’t have all the pets immediately), I wouldn’t even care that I may not have HM done yet. Yes, I need the codexes eventually, but it isn’t a big deal.
Essentially, it goes in this order:
1. Pets
2. Codexes + Speeders
3. Gear
4. Other items (Example: Karagga’s Helmet) – if these kinds of items can ever be placed to decorate your ship, this becomes #3 moving Gear to #4.
And being both a perfectionist and a completionist, having a lockout just sitting here stinks too.
However, a big thank you to a certain someone who is helping me at least stay somewhat calm by helping me earn credits for one of my first big goals: Getting the ship Legacy Stuff.
Then, the only other priority credit thing is getting the rest of the speeders I need.
But yes, that is why I haven’t written too much~ I’ve just been kind of down and don’t want to drag other people in it. Regardless, I still love the game and am still determined over cave mysteries–just kind of feeling like a failure.
I feel your pain iam in the same band as you but I haven’t got past the third boss on HM yet

I doubt the drop rate of the pet is going to change. I really believe that the cave requires all the 16 players to have the pet, didn’t a dev state it would be a while? To me, that explains the 100% drop rate, and it’s a cave, doesn’t the boss the pet is based off of burrow? 😛 Just a theory, but honestly I really really doubt you have anything to worry about with the pet droprate.

That was the basis of my theory on that–however, nothing is stopping once 16 people have the pet to just go in together and check which would be a lot sooner.
But yeah, just paranoid, honestly :/

Yeah, but how often is that going to happen? There still aren’t that many guilds getting the pet. I haven’t seen but 1 on JC. It’s still going to take a while.

Drop rate isn’t 100%, at least not on 8 player HC.
Done two times, dropped not a single time.

You are the first person I’ve heard from who has not seen it drop. Which could mean my initial idea of it having a very high drop chance, but not necessarily 100% could be right. That must suck though :/
