Server acting wonky, zoning 18 toons into stonehive. 3 or 4 take around 5 minutes to zone and another 3 minutes to synch up with rest of toons. has 1200 ms

All this talk if building PC's makes me want to build a new one. This is my next project when I do.

Here's a weird one:

Was gearing up a couple buddies in t9 and theres a little faction turn-in snafu.

The toons still needing faction for their armor were, of course, looting hg eye, bp page, zerk chestsplitter and then gating, re-entering to zone in to turn in to shady.

Here's where it gets weird.. If they are raided up, the entire raid gets credit for their turn in.... except for them. No faction hit, no xp msg. /raiddisband and turn in, xp msg, faction boost, the whole nine yards.

Might be a coding deal in raids, might not. Just makes you giggle when a half dozen maxed toons get xp/faction they dont need, and the only one you care about gets zilch. lol.

This would happen if the toons turning in the items were in group 1, group 2, or group 3. The only way we were able to get any faction boost  at all for the person turning in was to raiddisband them and re add them after.

Had the same problem myself. Would quit raid to get faction.

Perfect you are very skilled. Keep those coming!

In all of my runs, I have learned, if you don't get a TS with in 4 or 5 clears, delete the instance and recreate it.
If an instance has bad RNG, it's always going to have bad RNG no matter how many times you run it.  Don't run it over and over and over, you won't get anything out of it. 

I have found this true myself. Statistically speaking it's not supposed to be possible but ever since the instances were implemented, that's been my experience.

He has a Rogue in his first group, it's number 4.

Are Shaman a substantial DPS increase? I currently run in T5:

UWIII Warrior
Pally
Zerker
Rogue
Monk
Cleric

I'm thinking of what to replace the Cleric with for the time being as healing isn't much issue right now. I was thinking of trying out a Necro since I've always been a fan of the class and my AoE damage is lacking but I also have a shaman I could bring up. Looking to optimize my best with 1 group for now until I finish up T5 and feel more willing to run around with additional characters.

Acute,

I have gone through T5 3 times now, 1 with my original 12, then I added 6 more and I am just finishing up another group of 6. I am done in there just need some gear to move on.

Before finishing this last t5 run, I basically got my group of 18 through T9, War max UW SoA (no ear yet).

Let me tell you that this last run is as painful or maybe even more so, than the the 1st 2 times. Its far easier, I can pull the entire zone, one shot corals etc but it is still a huge time sink and boring after the first time.

This leads me to my second point, figure out how many toons you can load at one time. if that number is 10, then figure out what 10 toons you would like to have and then get them to T5. You can do it a few toons at a time but when you get to T5, load them all up and get them the gear and kill credit.

If you do this, you can pair down to a group you like or mix and match the toons to find what works for you. And as you have time or get bored, you can bring a different toon up to your current level quickly as they have already passed T5. You will also notice as you move past T5 that you want to pull more and more toons. You will look for ways to have your tank accept more damage from those additional mobs and for ways to quickly mow them down for farming and progress.

To do this you would max your SoA, use drake and regen from druid and the melee mit buff from cleric. Then you will start to want to add more AoE toons until you find a balance between single target DPS and AE. These are typically your War with UW, Rogue with UW, a monk and then a few zerkers, and a Paly in each group to keep them alive.

For those trying to min max their group or trade out one for another, I will say this, just add another dps toon, its added dps will be greater than the dps found by mixing your group makeup. Even on a crappy computer with the info on these forums you should be able to box 10+.

Personally I never found the backup tank useful. If main tank is going to die it's usually due to over pull or desynch and typically your second tank is not going to be of much help there.

So looking at your group id nix SK, ranger and bard, put extra pally as back up tank in 2nd group and add 2 more zerks. I've parsed bard and ranger in t9 with xi ninja augs and the dps is meh. Bard epic is nice pluc ac song and stuff, up to you.

[Hate]

TOFS (new instance or reboot) will now port entire groups (in range, each character MUST have key).

Pet shenanigans almost rebuilt. Worked long and hard today, got a LOT cleaned up. Pet stuff should be not only faster, but flawless, by tomorrow evening. :-)

Super cool thanks for the hard work

This zone sounds exciting:) wish I had time to play

my refunded AA's did not show up in the AA window. I cant buy any AA's on warbash but when I say"aa" it tells me 68k AA. any suggestions?

Hi Hate,
Anything on this? Have several char effected.

Just want to say thanks for adding raid summon reward item, works well
Just wish i could trade in group one now its obsolete, but nm

Thanks again Akka and Hate =)

How much is the summon raid?

I could kiss you Hate

Let's not forget the ability to remove augs directly without the sealer. I wish we could just fix the duplicate aug issue all together. I have like 6 char with full sets of T9 gear that I need to aug then equip and I can't bring myself to load up UF and flu through the dummy aug /aug thing so many times. It's like 30 minutes per set to do .

RYMO I cant even comprehend what you are asking.


can someone break it down for the less rymo in the group?

Lol I love Rymo, he cracks me up.
Balidet,
I'm translating here but I think the top post was parse from last week, with the bottom parse being today. Shows a dps increase from post vt change to reversal?
