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 WillbladeJust 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 RevenorIE's are not fun, i've had about equal chance to get stuff on normal vs heroic so why do heroic? If its barely a better chance even on mythic then normal is the way to go.

what we know now is its RNG in various elements, that your desired item has the required mobs to drop said item and then RNG on it dropping from the loot table. This kinda thing may appealed to players 10 years ago, today not so much. People are less patient and less willing to chase a carrot - we are older and don't care for this as much as we may have in the past.

however hopefully this change makes it more fun.Commento di 968833This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Commento di TernelWith how hard Blizzard is pushing IEs, the fun factor seems to have been lost in translation.Commento di darkelemental1The moment you made it against another team it stops being an expedition and just becomes another race to the finish line. All the chances of it being a fun experience were ruined when you slapped on a Hurry Up and Go mentality to itCommento di ElloreIt's strange that blizz would withhold information regarding loot from anything (other than secrets of course). We get lots of info on loot and drop % from the all the xpaks beforehand, but they refuse to give us that same info for Island Expeditions other than what types have a chance of dropping loot.

I am a little perturbed.Commento di SicklyKoboldThe island expedition rewards system is absolutely scandalous. On one hand you are encouraged to run this content because there are awesome rewards to be had, but on the other hand you could be doing content that doesn't even give you a chance of getting the reward you want, and you can't even know that! I don't honestly know why the players are letting Good Guy Blizzard off this easily!Commento di Fenril7The 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.Breaking all that down you MIGHT have a 0.0001% chance of getting the mounCommento di VijoPlaysOnYTthis could be good, but islands are only a singularity in the myriad of problems this expansion has.Commento di tmptfateThe Island Expeditions drop system is the most flawed reward system in the game.

Straight-forward answer to a straight-forward question...Commento di Matt0717Вообще нет смысла...In general, it makes no sense to go on these expeditions except for twinking or hitting the weekly cap on your main character. There is no dependence of a drop on either killing regular mobs or completing quests. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a useless pet or a transmog worth a few thousand gold. But, as a rule, no luck. Absolutely non-intuitive drop system. I'm afraid to ask how much time you need to spend on expeditions to manage to mount the mount.Commento di bleuwolfeThe Island Expeditions drop system is the most flawed reward system in the game.

That's NOT an interactive system at all.Commento di hellklownI remember when Blizzard took its time to procure showing good content and game design instead of rushing and risking it as if the gold releases are public betas. Remember when the "Paths of the Titans" planned game progression was removed before Cata released because they thought it was not quite up to par with the rest of the content?
IE were cute the first couple of weeks, but they are not useful as anything but a weekly source of AP. Having their own currency with a very limited use instead of being also used as a way to reduce grinding for people that are focused on pets and loot, lacking any gameplay variety besides the map and mob rotation makes them boring very fast (another chore in a game that currently is filled with them). Even Battlegrounds feel more rewarding and fun (and they have been around since the beginning while remaining completely optional in their current form :3)
With the way the goal of the game seems to be currently focused on timesinks and grinding, I don't think that a big change is coming in Tides of Vengeance :(Commento di sbensenI thought this was a fishing rep thing for BFA when I glanced at it... :(
