Bloodshade Harbor doesnt drop Pirate Accessory

[Hongmoon]

It's easy to say do the dailies, but then no one does those anymore especially when they keep refusing to reduce the number of bosses required to make mm spawn.

Nice it's been noticed, any way to bring it faster to the ''higher-ups'' (CM and Ass.Producer ?) even if they just entered Work since they are in EU :C (I think) ?

The problem is pirate, not siren...

 

EDIT : More specifically, Pirate belt and Bracelet are the main problems.

1. I am talking about pirate, not siren.

2. For belt you wanna start with siren, its the one you can upgrade. The pirate belt is a belt, but its an evolution piece...it cannot be upgraded.

3.The pirate belt and bracelet are available at the trader next to the dragon trade emissary(where u access your vault and storage) and I'll say again - google. Nobody spoon-fed the info to me. Geez.

Which belts and bracelets can be upgraded like our hongmoon  weapons? (:
I've heard siren belt can be, but I'm not sure, unsure about the bracelet though..

Thank you ma'am/sir.
The said 24 dungeon runs also are now ghost town, hard to really progress to pirate now since there are few to none doing it.
Hopefully there is a tweak on drop rate of evo/break weapons and/or emblems, some alternative not pay to win or cash shop alternative.
6-man is pretty alive though.

ANOTHER THING: Naryu reward box doesn't drop any soulshield anymore. Is this also intentional?
Now it Naryu SS will only be obtainable by bidding which sucks when you're poor like me T.T

You want to get Siren belt and Pirate bracelet. Those are like hongmoon weapon/ring/earing/necklace.

 

On the other hand - Siren bracelet is only used to breakthrough you Pirate bracelet from stage 5 to stage 6. And Pirate belt is used for evolution of your stage 10 Siren belt. Hope this helps.

While on the topic of things being missing from loot tables. Pirate Princess no longer appears in Poh6 (previously poh4) is this a bug?

Likely. Merging 4-man with 6-man loot tables had other side effects too, like making Pirate Bracelet a rarer drop in Bloodshade Harbor. There have been other topics complaining about that one in particular.

 

And just now I learned of Naryu SS not being dropped by reward chest... yet another side effect that just sucks for those going for mixed set as their BiS instead of full Yeti.

@Rukkirii

 

could you please also have a look at the box from the endboss in naryu (daily?)? It doesn´t contains soulshields anymore.

[fruitie]

It's funny how people throw p2w at pretty much everything.

Ooo. It isn't on the list of things that drop from the dungeon so I assumed they removed it. Thank you for confirming it is still in the game ^_^

Hang tight there Cookie Smiles! The drops are still under investigation. ^^

[ElectricPotato]

Its sweet that NCSOFT staff replied to this post.  Remember, they forward their(your) issue to the Team Bloodlust, located in Korea if I'm not mistaken, which is a big timezone jump.  Then time to investigate, when/if something is found, a change implemented.  Then that build sent back and distributed to NA/EU servers.  I would expect a 2-4 day wait if things went super smooth, depending on how the business hours intersected, for an non exploitfix/ gameplay breaking issue like this. Just a tad close to patch day to fit in the update methinks.

Why do you think they put emblems in nc coin shop only? That's what you get for falling for their "not p2w" lies.

Anyone getting that Deja-vu feeling from how Trion managed Archeage  "no tricks, no traps free to play"

Well NCSoft is very firm about not going Pay2Win  : We skipped Soul Pirate for that very reason since it was impossible with what we had without it being P2W.

 

I think them making sure there is no issue and investigating the same day we were worried about having a big P2W element introduced in the game (intentionnaly or not by the devs) shows they are as concerned as us and stand firm on their P2W position. BnS may be P2W in other regions, but they still have control on the cash shop and can ask for Loot% Table tweaks to compensate.

 well, Siren and Pirate Emblems now in the cash shop and less dropping in the game and less Pirate accessories dropping makes it pretty clear the opposite, it is quite obviously starting down that road. also dont forget the new Gem Hammer situation, cash shop items randomly can be removed while evolving your weapon at certain stages.

 

 I know our business model is different but coming from 4 years of playing CN servers I can see lots of things in the cash shop which normally dropped in game over there and they we never 'altered' after new updates or content, they still drop in game. 

 

Anyway apart from that and what I see as the obvious route this version is going,  My biggest issue is the appalling performance and servers, I am in the UK, EU servers are 600 miles away and this version plays like its on 'Dial-up' internet, while CN servers, exact same game, servers 5000 miles away plays perfect, no issues in any part of the game, some times notice very very slight delays , which is understandable and easy to compensate for but game does literally play perfect.

I know this is more about the bracelet and belt but as you can see the earring dropped at Bloodmane. I'll update if I run into a bracelet or belt drop, unless someone else has already done so.
