Probably the best part of yesterday’s event was the payoff. Opening that chest was so satisfactory, you certainly felt rewarded. I mean, it’s a once off battle where you’re going through a long chain of events, culminating in an intense battle at the end, why shouldn’t the rewards be great.

So then why can’t finishing Zhaitan for the first time be rewarded in the same way? It’s an big, once off battle at the end of a long chain of events. I don’t see the difference. Maybe the Zhaitan fight needs some work done to it, I mean, even the three lesser dragons felt more of a challenge, even old karka was harder.

Perhaps, let him latch onto the ship between waves of minions, then, while some keep him occupied, other players need to man cannons to shoot at him, and make it actually challenging, as in, if someone wipe, he regains health, and you need different cannon shots to have an effect. When he’s on low health he’ll grab onto the tower, and then everyone grabs a cannon to deal the final blow.

If by that you meant that a lot of people got precursors, while the rest of us got kitten. Then yeah, it was awesome and well worth the 3 hours of my life I’ll never get back… NOT!

We’ll stop to sleep when the game is the best possible game we think it can be.
We’ve been awake since March 2007! Please help!

Alright, forget the precursors. In my party, two guys received precursors, while the rest didn’t. Yeah, two people basically received 200 gold worth of items, and the rest of got about 1 gold’s worth. That didn’t feel really nice.

But forget that for a moment. Why can’t Zhaitan give players 2 exotics and 2 rares?

Blame the RNG. If you got a precursor, i’m pretty sure you won’t be bitter about it and rant on the forums.

I kitten did it twice on two different alts(80) and didn’t get a precursor, you don’t see me kittening, do you?

IMO, the first time you defeat Zhaitan, you should be given a precursor. That way:

  • A Legendary would require proficiency in the personal storyline. It’s one of the few aspects of the game that doesn’t give anything in the hunt for a Legendary (the other being structured PvP, which should have its own path to unlock the Legendary skins in PvP anyway).
  • We would all laugh at people who bought dozens of precursors to manipulate the market.

Lol. I like your idea of what a “rant” is. You clearly haven’t been reading the forums much.

Please stay on topic. This discussion is about Zhaitan.
