Increase Nergigante Horn Drop Rate!

提案/Suggestion

Please increase Nergigante Horn drop rate!

現状/Current Status

I fought every day in this week’s event.
Broke both horns of Nergigante every EDI.
Which means a total of 35 Nergigante slained, 70 horns broke. However, all of the EDI did not drop horn. End up this event I only got 1 horn from quest reward.
If a Nergigante’s weapon needs 48 horns to fully upgrade, then I need to play 48 events of Nergigante to get 48 horns.
VERY TERRIBLE EVENT AND DROP RATE!

Yeah the very good hunt used to give rarity 6 more often. This time it feels like a casual week in MHNow.

I encounter this every event
Those highlighted monsters of the event drop rate very bad. Turning event more like just hunt for numbers, not the rewards.

35 games with an 8-star Nergigante and not a single horn dropped? That’s really unlucky, I feel bad for you

While my friends got triple horns once or twice. So frustrating and discouraging

Also, R6 and R5 drop rate of Chameleos very bad because it is highlighted monster in new event this week.

I already beaten 4 Chameleos today, only R3 and R4 dropped.

I think drop rate “modified” during event, or other word:

“Drop Rate Cheating.”

You can thank your friends and strangers who got more horns than average for your below-average drop rate.

RNG doesn’t work like this. It doesn’t care how much a person has invested into hunting.

Even if the observed drop rate is 1% per hunt, counting the Basic Rewards only, it doesn’t mean that you will surely get 1 in 100 hunts, because there is no pity system at all when it comes to material drop rates. This is the same for any game that doesn’t have a pity system and is RNG-based.

To put it in another perspective, there is an expected average number of hunts to get 1 copy of a material, statistically speaking.

Extending this logic, for every player who got a copy of a material in fewer hunts than the expected average (i.e. above the curve in their favour), this means that another player will have to hunt more times just to get that 1 copy of the same material (i.e. below the curve not in their favour).

So, yes, you can thank your friends and strangers who got above-average drop rate for your below-average drop rate experience. You just happen to be on the wrong side of the pie and there’s nothing you can do about it than to hunt more and hopefully you can be on the right side of the pie with sheer number of hunts under your belt.

There will be times where you get above-average drop rates. You will be happy about it, but then there will be others who are not happy about it because now it is their turn to experience what you experienced previously: below-average drop rates.

If there is to be some kind of a balancer to make the drop rates true to their average, that means you have to forgo the above-average drop rate experiences too and there will be no more talks of “I have gotten all I need in 100 hunts” because everybody will have the same predictable average drop rate so that there will be no talks of “I have not gotten all I need in 500 hunts”. Are you willing to forgo the former?

I think always someone claimed that this is only possibility.

But it’s not true for software development because no real random generator existed.

Maybe it’s the good timing to introduce a pity system during events ^^
With so many elder dragon incoming (~70) and the lack of spots it’s going to be a real nightmare to hunt the parts.

their pity system is that “ONE” R6 in every event’s quests :joy:

It’s worth mentioning that the Nergigante R6 item will only drop from the second horn break (unless I have been misinformed). This is likely due to the relative ease of getting the first break.

Well, in my case I don’t have to complain about the current rates for the actual game dynamics. I’m doing my little walk and 50 hunts everyday and I try to do the HaT or elder dragon when available nearby and so far I’ve got my 10/2 or 10/5 elder dragon weapon and 6/1 armors for the skin but what I’m afraid of is about the future. At this rate I don’t think it will be possible to complete all the sets and weapons to max as the elder dragons come out. By the time risen crimson glow valstrax will be released we’ll all be in a retirement site if not in heaven already…

Future is not promising especially if there’s a rotation at one point and kushala, teostra etc won’t appear for a while anymore. I personally dislike having uncompleted stuff in games that I can’t achieve anymore. Like a few of my irl friends it might be a reason to quit the game.
