Dungeons Mythic Gaining Change

Spoiler: Disclaimer

Disclaimer: I'm not saying this will be easy, nor does it need to be added right now, or at all.
That's why it's a suggestion.
Also this is my own spin on someone else's idea, that may work better.

Spoiler: Actual Text

Step One - Remove mythic drop chance from normal mobs/loot chests.

While mythic drops are great and all, from a lore/backstory perspective it makes about 0 sense.
"Oh look at this weapon of great power and legend only told in tales of great fiery destruction dropped by this single mob that I've been killing millions of for the past month."
Rare item drops in other MMO's make about as much sense, yes, but usually items of that tier are stored in instance based PvE, generally protected by powerful bosses.
While in most other MMO's these are accessed by just joining a que, instance based doesn't work like that in Wynn.
It also doesn't have to work that way for mythic dungeons.

Have dungeons for each mythic based on their lore, (and add lore to the mythics without because they should have done that anyways).
Create a key guardian that spawns in the area affiliated with the mythic, which will drop a 'key shard' that you have to get 5 of and bring to the forgery.
Once you have the key you go and complete the dungeon for the mythic drop.
The entryway to each dungeon should be an NPC that teleports you when all requirements are met.
(If possible).

The key guardians should all be passive mythic leveled mobs to prevent lower leveled players from dying to them or killing them.

I WILL BE PROVIDING EXACT POSSIBLE LOCATIONS JUST LET ME FIND THEM FIRST.

Spoiler: The confusing part

The chances for these guardians to spawn should be -
If solo only.
7T/(3/5)SM
Where
T = Time in any form.
S = The current amount of Wynncraft Worlds running.
M = 10^6
(10 to the power of 6), (Sorry couldn't find the superscript).

All in all it will average to about 70 Mythics entering the server per year.

tl;dr - Mythic Dungeons instead of mythic drops.

 

This would make mythics a lot easier to access, because you know you can pretty much get one guaranteed if you do this. Mythics are rare, not something you can just gain if you do something and it shouldn't be that way otherwise it'd take the rarity out of mythics. (even though a lot of mythics, mostly wands, have been duped a shit ton to my K N A W L E D G E)

 

This presents the same issue as the suggestion I'm guessing it's based off of. A guaranteed mythic drop cannot be included.

I will say that these are pretty good, though "somewhere," "something," and "warmer" are a bit underwheleming

 

All this does is puts mythics in a fancy room and runs the RNG through the server and not the players.

________________________________

I couldn't find a proper synonym and the somewhere and something are for dramatic mysterious effect.

________________________________

Synonym for warmer*

________________________________

Why not.

 

... Hotter? For proper mysterious/dramatic effect you need to use words that aren't simply vague.

As for why not; it'll just make mythics more common. With places people know they'll get mythics, there'll end up being tons of people constantly there, server-hopping until it opens. Not only will that ruin a part of grinding, but it'll probably just create conflict between players.

Trust me, the mythic system right now needs no changing. If anything, they need to be rarer.

 

The whole of Mythics is that they are

RARE
​

And you need no skill whatsoever to obtain one, no hard boss fighting, no puzzles nothing, it takes no skill just luck. Some people find fifteen Mythics, some find two, doesn't matter, (this is turning into a rant on Mythics) Even if the dungeon opening rate is very low, it will still increase the amount of Mythics in the economy, also, a dungeon for EACH Mythic, bro, the content team aren't slaves for salted you know...(or are they) What I suggest you do is put more ideas into each Mythic dungeon, to save builders some work. Cyo.

 

While this is definately a cool concept that has been suggested before. The recurring problem was the constant grinding of a dungeon, and like the current corrupted dungeons, the system sucked. How would this be less grindy?

 

They aint rare, they are on the verge of unobtainablity. you can't balance an op item with insane drop chances.

Coz right now getting mythics isn't grindy?

 

please no

it will only further disencourage people that havent even found a single mythic


and for the people that havent found a mythic in ages

cough almost 7 fkin months cough

 

For the

Tbh the internet and american culture have ruined the word hotter for me, which is why I didn't use it.

Set the mythic dungeons opening chance to 1/(3*m) (where m = all the different kinds of mythics), of the current mythic drop chance and statistically there shouldn't be any more mythics entering the market than normal.

Oh and on the 'it takes no skill' thing.
That's actually my point.

 

Oh but the "it takes no skill thing" is the thing I want to the keep. Lol. It's a good suggestion just I don't like it.

 

...?
You won't be going into these dungeons all the time only as they open?

OH btw the most important members of the content team are Salted's slaves, (Grian and Jumla).
I'll be adding lore for the non lored mythic and their locations and descriptions I'm just doing research first.

 

Mythics are easier to get than the old Endgame were, or around the same. Maybe there were just less players, but there's way too many Mythics for items that aren't supposed to even exist lore-wise.

So 1/87th of the current chance, or roughly 0.000008%. That's 8 in 100,000,000. That makes sense in a server-wide kills circumstance, but not really dungeon-wise. If we wanted to keep the same amount of mythic inflow, the dungeon would have to be the same rarity or higher. But keeping the same amount of mythics coming in isn't really a good thing.

I'll admit some things I've said are probably wrong, but the mythic system doesn't really need changing. Anything other than what it is now will just result in more issues.

 

The same rarity is technically wrong since there will be apparently 29 dungeons each with the chance per server rather than 1 or two players per server grinding/lootrunning.
The 1/3 is for the drops at 35% damage per person for it to drop one to them.

 

Chance per server isn't a thing. Thanks for bringing up a point, though; where will we find space for 29 separate different dungeons?

 

There's lots of unused space.
We can even teleport them to the dungeon if needed.
It's not like there isn't plenty of space in the void.

 

Sure, but we can't really just have random entrances crammed all over the place. Not to mention that you still haven't answered the technical side of "chance per server" not existing.

 

I'm not really sure what no chance per server really implies.
If the chance to spawn isn't server specific set the numerator to s where s= number of currently active servers.

________________________________

Also it's not like they need to be Llevigar or Time Valley sized entrances.

________________________________

OH I would like to clarify once the dungeon has been beaten it closes, adding closing and closing messages now.

 

Just saying there's a chance per server isn't a thing. Is it a chance per minute? Per hour? What time period does the chance take place in? It makes more sense for it to be a chance for it to open when somebody is in the vicinity, like mobs, problem being that that can be abused.

And sure, they don't have to be massive entrances, but lore-riddled great beings won't have piddly little caves as locations.
