After our earlier tweet, we are working on a hotfix so that the Coldlight Surfrunner can drop when ANY murloc type is present on an Island Expedition. Furthermore, we're simplifying this entire system in Tides of Vengeance. More details on that soon. https://t.co/JpWmdO8NnC

There are different Murloc tribes in Azeroth, and so far, the kind of Murlocs that could drop Coldlight Surfrunner have not appeared on Island Expeditions. https://t.co/Fg0sOn2I2J

JF: I can't really give you details on how exactly loots are distributed in Islands. But know that for us, it's a very interesting experience. It's something closely linked to the Island Expeditions. But I can't answer the question "how to obtain item X?". We are thinking about some ways to answer this question. You'll know more really soon!LATAM Content CreatorsOne problem I see in Island Expeditions is the lack of perception on rewards. How do you plan to fix that, so that people might want to do harder difficulties?

PW: So one of the little known things that I can spell for you here, is that on higher level difficulties, you do have a higher channce of obtaining loot from different creatures. Although, I don't show up to your house with the game and explain that to you, and it is a deficit of the system, the obsfucation of how difficult it is to tell what drops loot and how difficult it is to get the loot, especially with all those mounts and pets and transmogs, and all this awesome. It ended up being an experiment for us that did not really work out like we wanted it to. We're looking at ways to better target loot in the future and get what you want from the system.

Commento di OrferVanYeah, I only wanted the pets from Island Expeditions. When they first came out, I heard of people doing one-to-three hundred runs and only getting a single pet. I did five runs and got frustrated. Definitely not participating in this until after 8.1.Commento di yossarianYeah, I only wanted the pets from Island Expeditions.

Straight-forward answer to a straight-forward question...Commento di AnubishamanGive pets to the people! I do enjoy IE because I like to roam around killing stuff mindlessly, but the rewards should have some non-rng way of obtaining them, even if it is medium-high grinding.Commento di papaQTI believe the whole IE thing to be a social experiment for a new AI game they are producing. This is why they wont say how the back end mechanics work.Commento di HoploweThe Island Expeditions drop system is the most flawed reward system in the game.
Take the Craghorn Leaper mount for example. In order to have a chance to get this mount, you need to overcome several rng chances. First, there needs to be Dread Chain active that week, second, you need to actually get Dread Chain selected from the three random islands, third,yeti enemies have to spawn, fourth, among those yetis, a yeti Rare has to spawn, fifth, you need to find and kill it before the enemy faction does and sixth - you just earned yourself a 1%chance to get it.

That's rng layered on top of rng. That's NOT an interactive system at all.Commento di ED209I've seen deep sea murlocs before, but I guess it has to be a coldlight tribe that needs to appear or something? If so, it should just be a generic drop from them, not limited to a rarely-seen tribe.Commento di Mailiin7I think it would be great if we could buy a special item that triggers specific invasions or something. Maybe we could use dubloons for this. And we can only use the item on specific islands so we still have a rotation.Commento di XardasOficialThis expansion sucks and I don't even know why... It just sucks... and I'm horde, lol...Commento di TombsvSo the pet I have been trying to get wasn't even possible to get, lol.Commento di WaDa

You forgot the last layer of RNG - if you have a group that wants to target the rewards or just zerg the island.Commento di nikolaivelikovvYou know an expansion is !@#$ when its main feature isn't even remotely polished. GG!Commento di ladynaginiMy least favorite part of doing Island Expeditions is desperately trying to convince my groupmates to not kill the azerite elemental and instead focus on rares. The second least favorite part is a 20 minute search for an PvP island group followed by a 10+ minute que for Island PvP, because they generally take longer and are more difficult to win than a mythic IE equivalent. Blizzard, you normally don't have to spell out stuff gives reward because we can tell that if we kill boss A X times on one difficulty, and then kill boss A X times on a higher difficulty, the difference shows. Islands have so much rng that the underlying system is completely obscured (whose going to farm 1000+ PvP wins to compare them to normals?)Commento di Draconic1The most annoying thing to me about Island expeditions, is that if you do your job right and win by a lot, the invasion event never even begins.Commento di MelancholyRoseJust make them random rare drops from completing specific islands, FFS. Even if people know they can get rewards from targeting rares, they never go after them, and they never cooperate for this. People just rush farm the islands. They had to know based on the current "go-go-go" way that people do dungeons these days that this "special loot" farm wouldn't work in this game. I haven't even bothered doing the islands since I learned of this silly loot mechanic, knowing that no one else would share my interest in rewards, thus making them impossible to obtain anyway.

You know an expansion is !@#$ when its main feature isn't even remotely polished. GG!Commento di IceWolfDKBlizzard simply misjudged the potential interest in island expedition. They are too much of a chore to do, and the rewards could pretty much be nonexistent. Simply no reason to do them. Chances are just too low.Commento di GrortraughI think people understand how loot works on the islands, for the most part. It's just that there are so many impediments to a loot focused strategy: Your teammates not cooperating, the other faction tagging rares or winning, your team winning too quickly.Commento di GrundlesmooI have found nothing of value in the Islands. The entire system feels like such a cobbled together afterthought.

Hope for the right island, with the right invasion, then hope for drop from targeted rares or mobs. 3 levels of RNG to try to target anything? LOL no thanks.Commento di DraccyHave a protection system in place like legendaries and what not. The longer you go without a reward from Island Expeditions, the higher chance you have of getting one. Unless it's too much to have it in place for each enemy type.
