Kraken Club Update

[Gaar]

0/40 on peacock charm

2/25ish on PCC, 0/4 on kclub. Haven't heard of one dropping yet on carbuncle.

Welp, from everything I've read so far it looks like new kraken clubs are going to be insanely rare, because the only people who are going to ever do this BCNM are those who are willing to deal with insane odds. Personally there's a snowball's chance in hell I'll ever blow seals on trying to get one. The drop rate is way beyond unreasonable and the BCNM requires too many seals. SE fails on this one imo.

Who the fuck really cared about LOO anyway? If they really wanted to slap RMT upside the head, this type of "fix" should have been applied to Simurgh, KA, Roc, Bune, and every other NM those shitheads rotate through. Crossing only one off the list doesn't do jack. Of course, this completely ignores the one NM that SE should have focused on: Ulli.

They could instead have GMs sitting around LoO and these other NMs when these mobs pop so that when the bots go off people are hauled to jail and banned thus choking a major source of RMT income and improving the server for everyone. But I know, my zany logic...

[shihei]

they really need to throw a rare/ex club on Lo0 now
and yea don't say OMG BUT THEN YOU CAN DUAL WILED 2
attack rounds cap at 8? so it would be silly to do

This just goes to show the HNM system is failing when you combine alot of newer higher level competition along with the 100's of gilsellers per server. Lets face it 21-24hr NM's are no longer viable, you can also see why people resort to "unfair" advantages as SE puts it because you have one shot a day on these items. Think about it, all it will become is worse and worse as more people attain 75 and more gilsellers appearing.

This won't stop with the kraken club, It will move on to eventually KA then it will trickle over to thf knife when the number of "unfair" advantages goes through the roof. I think mainly the krakenclub change happened because of all the RMT that was banned alot of them sold multiple clubs.

Personally I'd like to see all items of this caliber rare/ex.

Congrats! But what a waste if that WHM doesn't have DRK leveled.

If he's anything like me, he'll end up letting his LS-mates borrow it, and 3 months will go by since the last time he actually had it in his possession. >.>

[Indalecia]

It doesn't take 3 months to cap club. What the hell does he still have it for?

[Sykes]

lol, it's not just 1 person ... it's pretty much everyone in my LS. If it isn't someone leveling club, it's someone borrowing it to help get BLU spells (dual-boxing with a job that can use it), or a DRK who needs it for a a LS event.

I don't even bother asking for it anymore, I just ask person X to give it to person Y when someone else asks to borrow it. I'm way too trusting >.>

Someones here was fake...or SE really fucked something up.

This screenshot has 10 items in the pool, one of the previous ones had 11 items in the pool.

[Cyrelius]

Unfortunately there's nothing I can do to really prove it besides my word and the shots I provided.

LoO doesn't drop (as per the update) it anymore and my LS mates are all casual players so it's not like anyone saved up 20-30m to buy one just for the glory shot in there.

I'll take the latter option with SE is fucked up.

I know I am just adding to the complaining, but 60 seals for a 1% drop rate is kinda.....bad. It's not like people will easily be able to get 60 seals to try again, they should bump up the drop rate a bit if they want to consider this as an "easier way to get kraken clubs."

I'm pretty sure it was some measure to stop the 50+ RMT that would show up for the club, and how the hell do you not have stacks and stacks of beastmen seals with three 75 jobs? 60 seals seems fine considering it *is* a kraken club after all.

Uh... I have 4 75 jobs, and I've always been really low on BS. I don't spam BCNMs either, I just never seem to get any *shrugs*.

Oh yeah :3 4/25 or so on PCC, never on my orb <_<; 0/59 on Thief's Knife! (Somebody drew a parallel to LoO as far as drop rate goes) and like 0/40 on LoO.

FF hates me. (Now maybe I should level BST and get some crazy seals)

Congrats. These seem to be one of the rare SS from NA's.The others have been in JP. Someone posted a SS with 10 items, but there blog posting for it has been removed. Yay! Need a few more SS's before I head and try this out for myself.

How is it a waste if they dont have DRK leveled? HNM aint the only reason to play the game man. Play the game for fun because by now everyone in a HNMLS has beat the game already.
