Event Farming Diary: Day 3
Left hand recovered enough to play. Got in 5 hours. Got a handful of Ts, some E, and 2 Rs. No As at all. The good part is that I'm extremely proficient with Gunner now. I know exactly what I can do with it. Obvious gaps in the movement rotation are irritating. The game encourages you to use the Rocket Jump after rolling to get farther away. Don't do that. That cuts your usable escape/movement skills in half. Gotta use each on their own to double your movement capabilities.
Did get several thousand gold worth of super rare epic armor drops. But no A letter. Damn you A letter. Damn you to hell. I see other people riding around on the dragon mount. Stupid dragon mount. Stupid event. My right hand hurts now. I tell myself its for science. I really just want to punch my monitor. Will try again tomorrow.

Event Farming Diary: Day 4
Got in a good 6 hours. Still no A letter. wtf
I got the next level Avatar weapon and fully upgraded it. I got a full set of level 47-50 epic gear for a warrior from drops so I guess that's what I'll try next. But no A letter. I have 32 Ts, 22 Es, and 4 Rs now. But no As. Goddamn you A. My hands don't hurt anymore. I assume they've gotten used to the abuse. I don't know if that's good or bad. I also got 300 campfires and 470 res scrolls. Around 300 fashion coupons. But no A letter. Why do you do this to me, A letter.
why
Edit: Oh yeah. My gunner is 51 now. Started the event at 33. So much killing omg.

Event Farming Diary: Day 5, Final Day Was able to get in several hours today when something happened. No, it wasn't the A letter. Across my screen an achievement popped up. An achievement for killing 1,000 BAMs. Yep that's right. I killed 1,000 BAMs and no A letter drop. Wow. That was the moment that everything hit me at once. So...that was it. I decided that was enough. Total event farming stats: -20 hours total of killing BAMs spread out over 5 days -19 Levels gained -1,000 BAMs killed -2,000 gold earned -2 Avatar weapons, fully upgraded -Full set of level 50 epic warrior gear from drops -500 campfires -400 res scrolls -300 fashion coupons -Broken hands And no *censored*ing A letter. A glowy dragon mount just isn't worth this. The game has all kinds of other cool mounts you can get. I'll just get one of those later on. In the meantime, I think I'll roll up a warrior since I have tons of crap I can use for it from all this farming. I'm sick to death of looking at gunner for the time being lol. Might be a nice change. Besides, even if the event is *censored*, the game itself is pretty decent. This has been an Event Farming Diary brought to you by Lantesh. For SCIENCE! at the cost of my sanity

Me think Lantesh need a break of TERA, or better, games Seriously are you sure this "A" letter is not a drop from a specific mob or area? Devs love to do things like this

Yeah I'm sure. The event made every single BAM in the game, regardless of level or area, drop the letters. Each letter seems to have a different drop rate, but it's all RNG. So one person on the forums got the full letter set in around 3 hours. The next person got 4 full letter sets in 6 hours. The last guy I read took 52 hours to get the A letter to drop.
I had been getting plenty of other letter drops. Got 33 Ts, 28 Es, 4 Rs, and 0 As. So I know I was on the right track since I got all the other letters. I figured that 20 hours and 1,000 kills was enough effort for a glowy dragon mount. RNGesus just wasn't with me this time around.

Uhh...
That's actually pretty sad. Kiiinda makes me even less inclined to try TERA. But I'm happy with blowing up things in Marvel Heroes anyway, so...

This was an interesting read but at the same time disgusting to say the least
