EZ credits.. like small chance for 1 credit to drop.

So, no talk about the Ez credits being taken out of VP? What are we doing about the lack of donations during the events? People are wondering how to get Reward items like warband summons and group cures. I mentioned before, make a small chance that an ez credit can drop during the halloween events and with some steady, dedicated grind... you might get 25 during an event to get something. Multiple events would require getting enough to get a 75+ item.

Maybe I missed the note on the fix for lack of donations for Reward items.

24 toons

one/Test A - 2 mins

Was going to try for 2 / Test As but somehow I had 3 Test As up... and I lasted 20s. Raid wipe and I zoned back in.. rebuffed and was trying to repop the zone.... but I started to go LD on all toons and now I can't log them back in unless I do the character move to nexus on all 24. I guess I crashed the zone, possibly the server but definitely my desire to continue testing tonight. Will try more testing later this week/weekend.

Unfortunately, I missed this one and really wanted to see another event. Was in travel from Japan. I will just have to catch the next one.

We still need to do some minor polishing on various things as well as properly balance and test the zone. I will do this myself once it's ready.

Great... Sarthin brings his leet-sauce crew and tests.. "Zone is ready!"

Mixlor attempts the zone... goes splat on the the first cockroach he encounters... which is not even considered an actual NPC in the zone.. just a zone prop...

Hell yeah!!! Bring it on!!! I am ready for dis!!!!!!!  

*Seriously... I am pumped for Kael Drakkel!! Been a long time coming!*

Summoner Bag Quest Alternative location - Skyshrine

" (this will be moved to the pool behind Yelinak in Skyshrine once T12 development requires locking access to Kael. If Kael is locked, go to Skyshrine - Draca)"

Lies!!!!!

I have been to Yelinak spawn location and swam in both pools on either side of his room.. nothing "behind" him. I even went down to the bottom right of his room and went skinny-dippin in the big square pool of water with not update to the quest.

I think when the server code changed that messed up a lot of stuff (wings, raid exp, etc) at the beginning of the Christmas event also put this part of the quest out of whack. Kael is locked now... so Skyshrine it is.. but the pool or pools are not working as originally intended to chill the Heated Summoner's Pack.

Both Wurwarr and I have been trying to figure this out since we have some toons that need this stage of the Summoner Bag quest.

Thanks in advance

We, the EZ server community appreciate all you do and can't thank you enough for picking up where Rent left off. If you didnt step up, there would be no T11 nor alot of the fixes that you implemented on our behalf. So I am pretty sure when I say "You aint gotta explain nothing Draca..." the rest of the community stands with me.

Take all the time you need. RL comes first and T11 will happen, when it happens.

This is still an issue with mob aggro in Sleepers that happened after the "oopsie" when adjusting aggro in T11 that affected all zones. Mobs appear to not 'assist' each other if one has aggro and runs by others -not of the same mob type.

My testing:

Entrance hallway, I am able to walk up to the first 2 Iridescent Caretakers and immediately aggro both of them. The next mob is a pestering annoyance, pulling single. The 3rd pull has a Pestering Annoyance and Iridescent Caretaker close to each other but if you pet pull either one, the other does not come to assist because they are not of the same mob type. The 4th pull, I pulled a Pestering Annoyance -again... close to a Iridescent Caretaker and the Caretaker did not aggro but the Pestering picked up another Pestering that was in close proximity as it ran by.

Maybe this is an issue with mobs 'inheriting' aggro from another of a different type as it runs by....?

Please look into this when you can Draca. Most folks just do the Warder grind but for those of us that dont fear a few dirtnaps from time to time... would like to have it back to what is was before your "oopsie"

Thanks!

**Update**

Continued down the hallway into the big room and tried some different mobs there.

Vigilant Custodian + Little Axe Wielder (G). Both aggro'd when one was pet pulled.
Ancient Caretaker + Iridescent Caretaker (B). Ancient did not aggro when Iridescent did when walking through doorway and mobs on both sides.
Ancient Drakonine + Iridescent Caretaker (G). Both aggro'd when one was pet pulled.
Opalescent Sentry + Ancient Drakonine (B). Ancient did not aggro when I pulled the Sentry right by it.

I don't know if this has been brought up before but what do folks think about making the mana necklace useable by Shamans and clerics.. or at least shamans? At the moment, it is only useable by dru, mag, nec, wiz, and enc. I still use my shaman (only cuz he has a UW) on the Tunare expedition and he drops in mana fast due to casting Golden showers (cuz someone likes getting pee'd on) during the long phase fights and it could be beneficial for shamans to be able to use the necklace.

Let's hear your thoughts.

In short order, Sarthin had a zone selected, and a good gameplan on what he wanted to do, and he got after it. Using his own server, he was able to learn and execute all of the NPC spawning, boss and quest scripting, a few items created, and generally pulled it out in an amazingly short period of time.

And great job Sarth! Now make me a zone with Giants in it.. tired of fighting lesser beings....

So... this is what you been working on instead of T11.... /looks around for his whip ......

So T11 is closer to release than ever before and while there are tons of work left before the Tier is live, I wanted to get a discussion going regarding the EZWiki and T11.

I certainly make mental notes when testing content and I don't mind spending time on adding some general information about Dragonscale once it hits live. However,  I know there are difference in opinions regarding what some would call spoilers and others would just see as a useful place to look up information. So I wanted to get a thread going so we can get an idea of how everyone feels about it, perhaps even put it a poll at some point.

My personal perspective is that the Wiki is a place you can choose to visit, or not. Certainly most questions can be asked and answered in OOC, and they will be. General information about quests,  boss names,  loot, faction and how to progress in the tier are normally information that could be available for those that wish to seek it, in my opinion. Tips and tricks on how to beat this or how to more efficiently do that may be information that has not historically been added at all or at least not in the beginning. Personally I don't have any strong feelings either way,  but that's me. I am already ready for T11 and will most likely have many chances to be one of the first to try out new stuff. Things may feel different for others.

This would be nice and you hit upon something about the wiki being a choice to use or not use. You can tell those who use it and those that don't from /ooc (me being one of them that don't use it like I should).

If T11 will be not included from the wiki... then I ask that all info/tips/tricks be given to me. I don't mind the spoilers....

The wiki is needed but can be over explanatory.. giving away the feel for figuring things out on your own. But case in point.. alot of the old recipe books on the Crafter Guild vendor are out of date. i couldn't have create a mana necklace without the use of the Wiki because the recipe book is wrong.

Interesting how things will turn out.. but one thing NO ONE can escape, whether they have a guide that points them from A-Z, is the RNG monster. Good luck getting what you need, even if it is spelled out how to get it in the wiki....

My main point here is you are going to have people (when T11 comes out) changing their party makeup....this content has been out forever and is not part of the
"Holy Grail" of O.G. content so wouldn't hurt to change it some...but of course I am also in favor of removing the perma root from corals in abyss too lol

Spoken like a true "OG". I hear ya brother and stand beside you too in this injustice! Well.. on the T5 issue... get more resists!
