Great job Activision !! You have managed to take another group of people completly off the list of potential customers who enjoy the game for different content. This RNG is absurd. Less then 1% drop rate on a pet come on.

This is asinine. 120 runs and not a damn thing. This pet needs to be 100%

 

 

EDIT: Finally after about 200 runs it dropped today (Oct 31st ironically) for me. My initial assessment still stands. It's asinine that this pet isn't cageable or a 100% drop. Especially in a limited time event.

This is Crazy. I've been pet collecting since 2008 and this is one of the first times I failed to get a pet. Im getting older now so its alot tougher to keep up.

16 kills per day, nothing. And the end of the event is approaching. This is not cool for anyone, let alone hardcore pet collectors like me. Having to wait a full year for a pet that STILL might not drop is not cool. Useless time-sink.

280 Runs here and nothing, not even the supposed "2%" saddle.... this is not right

 

 

Edit: finally dropped and it was my (roughly) 315th kill (no curses on that run), that is actually disgusting. Drop rates like that for a limited 2 week per year event means a vast majority of players won't see Arfus. Blizzard need to stop with these kind of rubbish game design decisions. It's not fun and just leads to disappointment and frustration on the players/pet collectors ends.

This is ridiculous. Every day running multiple alts and ZIP.  Multiple squashlings, rings, brooms and masks.  They really need to revamp the whole thing. The fact that you can't sell anything either is also irritating. You have to destroy them one by one AND type delete for the others.  Really Blizz? This could be a great holiday thing to do but no, instead you're just pissing everyone off. Vent over

This is utterly stupid on Blizzards part.  Once a year events should not hace such low drop rates, whether it be a pet or a mount.  This is a good way to piss people off and lose subs..

That's totally unfair! This pet should be cageable - you can get it only two weeks a year and with an extremely low chance. 45 kills so far, nothing for me...

50 attempts now with buffs and no buffs. Still no luck. It appears the drop rate should be higher for the pet collectors or anyone with a time limited event. I would hate to wait until next year to try again. 14 magic brooms, 11 sinister squashlings and 58  attempts, I was fortunate enough to get Arfus. Good fortune to all that are still trying. Should definitely be a higher drop rate! It would be nice if they would make this available through the Trader's Post for all that were not able to obtain.

Not as many toons as others, but yeah, 8 toons a day and it didn't drop. Neither has Headless Horesman mount to be fair, and that's been years....

200 kills, no Arfus but this is how ridiculously low his drop rate was in comparrison to other items:

 

50 x Magic Broom

37 x Sinister Squashling

14 x The Horseman's Sinister Slicer

7 x The Horseman's Horrific Hood

16 x Seal of Ghoulish Glee

15 x The Horseman's Ring

14 x Band of the Petrified Pumpkin

9 x Wicked Witch's Signet

 

23 years of loyalty and they've finally broken me and driven me away as a customer :(

I ran it 20 - 27 times a day on my semi legion of 60-70's and NO Arfus. I think the game knows I'm a cat person as I'm missing Bakar and now Arfus! I always ran first one of the day in hard mode and a combination of hard mode and normal throughout.

After about 120 attempts, I got Arfus with 4 minutes left before the whole event closed down.  This was the first time that I DIDN'T use the curses, I only had the burning man buff and it was my first toon of the day.  Curses suck.
