If nobody got the drop during the week time then yeah, thats a bit overboard on the chances. but there actually are people getting them and i've seen a few walking around with it.

Thing is, the majority of people that have done the map over hundreads of time have not received the mask...

I think what we are trying to say is that there is a fine line between searching for something which is hard to get, challenging but ultimately rewarding and searching for something which is nigh on impossible and frustrating. A small tweak as Carapace suggested might happen and we may see some smiley faces. There are a lot of people dedicating huge amounts of time farming and it would be a shame if people were put off totally from this and future endeavours because they felt the game was unrewarding. Challenging yes...impossible no.

I wonder if u would feel the same if u spent all ur free time and spent 200k in elixers farming this and didnt get it. As opposed to ran four times and got it.

This would actually be perfect. It makes sense to reward the people making the most efforts to get the drops. Right now, the drop system seems to be all booty backwards... I mean come on, supposeably lower level players have gotten Gamer Sets to drop too. It makes no sense! Unless they're alts. O.o

not only would it reward players who actually put time into it, this would help balance the market. instead of having a crap load of shards and pink items from the same maps that become totally worthless due to everyone farming the same things. things like this cause everything to be soooo out of balance that it takes away from the game imo.

Oh, i thought it was an undead drop. I see ur point about algorythms and such, but at some point after endless runs it should drop. And since its a limited time drop, it shouldnt be so hard to get imo.

I completely agree with you. I hope future events will be much more fun and rewarding in the right way.

A friend of mine got a second drop today and gifted the mask to me. Even though Im grateful, Im still irritated at the fact that I've been farming for hours a day and still no drop. Smh. Hell Im still farming it in hope I get it to drop.

I've done Dead End all day since I was told undead drops here. I'm actually getting slightly rich just selling the greens and whites cause it costs me nothing to run it with the event buff.

The drop rate is too low I agree.

**Mrsberry** · 07-21-2012, 09:08 PM

Ive been farming for hours every day since the event started spent large amount of gold on elixirs have not even got one vanity.
Very frustrating.

same here! i even fell asleep a couple times in front of my laptop while the hoards killed me...

**Takezaki** · 07-22-2012, 02:26 AM

Wow I seriously must be extremely lucky.

Antlers dropped for me on the 8th or 9th dead end run.

I used 12k Elixirs and I got it playing multiplayer also..

Good news is : I will be selling them. Contact me in private.

**monarchival** · 07-22-2012, 03:21 AM

Its starting to sound like if u dont get it in the first hr or so, forget about it...lol

**Sorcererssoul** · 07-22-2012, 03:28 AM

It's not only the Antlers either anymore.
I've been running for snake mask for 2 days pretty hardcore and without any luck.
A friend of me got very lucky and 2 snakes in 30 minutes, I was running the same map afterwards for hours without luck.
I understand that these vanities should be exclusive but there also is something called ''too exclusive''.
But this way we do get occupied, right? =P

**YuNoEatBeaRs** · 07-22-2012, 03:36 AM

Got the same issue here, i do understand the concept of "luck" and "exclusive" but i do also believe that efforts, hardcore efforts, should and must be rewarded, i'd really love if they made it that u get a vanity drop every say 100-150 run of maps that drop said vanity, hell i could even do with 200 runs, i know it sounds stupid doing that many runs, but at least i know that there's something at the end of that tunnel.
