Will we be seeing the return the purchasing mounts with brewfest holiday currency like back in '07 ?

Or will it be another grind Coren and hope a mount drops ?

You mean 5 chances, since a 5man group can summon him 5 times.

Also last year i saw 4 mounts drop during the event. IMO find 4 friends, do the 5man everyday untill you each get one. It takes the randomness out of it since your pretty much garenteed one. If they even increase the drop rate a tiny bit.

would be awesome if they upped the drop rate slightly, last year i was farming it on 3 characters and only seen 3 rams and 2 kodos.

It seems like they should either bring back the purchasable mounts, buff the drop rate, or remove it from the meta. Last year I killed Direbrew over 100 times (I paid people to tag along even after my summon was gone) and only saw two mounts drop. One of them was near the end, so if I had only been doing it 5 times a day with the same group, only one of us would have gotten a mount.

I realize that it is random and this will not be everyone's experience, but if the drop rate is not high enough to practically guarantee 5 drops in about 65 summons (that's one for each member if you summon 5 times per day for the entire event) then the achievement really needs to be re-examined.


edit:
Also, by way of a disclaimer, I DO have the achievement so I'm not whining because I'm afraid I won't get it. I just think it's unfair and needs to be changed.

Probably this.

Glad I saw this topic. I had just started another one with the same question. I just want to know if they plan to either increase drop rate or make in purchasable some how. To make it part of the meta would suck if it was just that low drop rate like last year. They didn't require headless horseman mount for Hollows End so i don't see why they would make this one so hard to get.

Have your friends level up your alts

I do believe that would be a violation of the ToS.

---

Q u o t e:
Currently there are no changes planned to the mount drops. Have your friends level up your alts and be ready to beat him up for the mount you deserve!

---

These words will keep me warm when it doesn't drop. Like the 6 days it took for 1 helm to drop off horseman.

By the way, the warmth is from seething hate.

Well that certainly is one option, there is a downside to it. Say you have your main toon that you are trying to get all sorts of achievements on, and you have your spares. Since everyone has a once a day summoning ability (even if it actually looks more like aggroing Coren), you and your friends will have about the same chance (in theory) to have a ram or kodo drop on your mains (which is what you want) as with your alts. So you might grind on the whole day until you and your buddies are all on alts and you finally see a mount drop. If you won the roll, well... you got the mount.... on the wrong character. Bummer.

As far as last year went, i think most of us saw between 2 mounts and 5 mounts actually drop from the whole event, assuming you did the 5 summonings a day.

Killing Coren does require skill, but looking at this at the moment, im thinking that lady luck is gonna pwn us again come Brewfest.

How about we split the difference blizz, to save everyone time?

Just have the RNG directly generate who gets the mounts and have them mailed to the winners? It'll save everyone a butt load of time.

It'd be nice if there was some way to "earn" extra summons for these holiday bosses.

This is worded poorly.

Should be:
Have your friends level up their alts.

Since having your friends help you PL your alts won't help you because if you're looking for the item for your main, you need their alts to get you extra summons.

Though it could work both ways, since if you have a lot of alts, your friends would be willing to cycle through theirs for you when you cycle yours for them. Which is how I got my rams and kodo. Last year I had 7 toons that I could cycle through for summons, so others with alts used their summons for me, and me for them.

So, alternate suggestion: You and your friends should level up alts to get more total summons

The so-called friends who lose interest after they get theirs, right? :P

Will Direbrew receive any changes to reflect the new max-level? Will the min-level to summon remain 65?

Why not only 1 person bring in an alt at a time, while the other 4 play mains.? This seems to be a non-issue with even the smallest amount of planning.
