I guess for most of us it is all about loot.
Many want more TL/DL, Foxy Augs, AAs
Almost everyone needs more earrings, shoulders, masks, gorgons .. that is what it is all about.

Dont forget for many players it is the first, second or third time only to participate in that event.

I mean there could be special loot in other events but loot from HOS is closest to end game loot so most useful for the players.

Thanks for all the information. This is very helpful to imagine what VP will be.

What I still dont get: of a guy with 27 toons that are quite well equipped cannot complete the zone how is this even possible? Or are you holding back the information to not spoiler stuff?

I like the fact that more toons will get involved but this also leads me to my main question: how many toons will be needed?

Anyway I am hyped for VP like many of us. And I am sure Draca has done a great zone that we will enjoy for a long time

On another thread dimur (I guess) posted some stuff to prevent from going LD. That sums up most pf sarthins tipps.

I only go LD (sometimes) in SR and Tofs aswell. And it is all about how mich data/information gets in at a time. And the more toons you got near you the more data comes in and the more likely you will go LD.

Try ZP in Tofs with Tankus only, looking at the bottom and you wont go LD .. bring some toons with you and you will likely go LD. Same goes with SR… try some scenarios… also try that viewport thing and you will get better results.

In SR I always start with my warrior and after a while I let my other toons join the fun. Works like 98% of the time.

On the other hand. Going LD while ZPing in SR you wont get knocked back from juggs ;-) so it can be helpful lol

See you on January 3rd .. hopefully with some days of HoS fun (left)

Depends on how you want to play that zone. U need a rogue with coh clickie and thats it …

You can clear warder area or kill aby over and over and over and over again to get specific loot

Thats about it

I see it the same way as sarthin …

And another question: if t11 doesn’t require UA and people with little to no UA can survive/manage/kinda farm t11, what will players with many full UA do? A walk in the T11 park? :-)

Anyway now that I know how many GSS could drop in VP I will get a strong team ready for that and farm my GSS there and not in T10 anymore.. thx for the info draca

You have to keep in mind that there are many types of players.
Many will be ready for VP when it goes live. (6+ toons with min. 4/5 UA parts)
Some will be semi ready (1-6 toons)
And some will have no toons ready for VP

For group a and b it is good that GSS drop more often in VP because they can farm them there instead of T10. But for group c which will be a big group of players, they will still have to grind many months in T10.

Depending on play style and playtime this can take forever and will be frustrating as hell. Many will quit at that point for sure.

I dont have a problem with grinding the same zone or boss or camp over and over again. I am not in a hurry to get thru all the content in a few weeks but I think there are many players who are not like me. Many play in their free time and dont want to waste it in T10.

Dont get me wrong. I am against increasing the drop rate but I would like to see an additional way to get some GSS.

After all the stuff we wrote today about GSS drop rate I was thinking and IMO there should be a fix regarding GSS drops when 10.67 or at least when T11 starts.

It would be wrong to let people farm T10 for months, many months, many many months just to be able to get into the next zones.

Maybe the PB 2.0 quest idea could help out. Or maybe increase the numbers: 1 GSS for another 1000, 2 GSS for another 2000, 5 GSS for 5000. something like that.

For now the drop rate is ok. Hard for some players, but you cannot male everyone happy. But for the future the current drop rate would not be good anymore ..

Mongo

Lol funny post

Zerker can use ID aswell

Not broken per se but what are the chances of making the caster version of the EoBA a worn effect rather than a clicky, not sure why the melee one is worn and the caster is clicky..The amount of times I forget to cast it on my necro is annoying..

Tank

oh this is good to know... I will add the clicky to one of my standard hotkeys so I wont forget to activate it.
But making it a worn effect would be great aswell

thank you. this looks promising. will give it a try when I play again next week

Will this batch file open the game windows always in the same order?

Good thing is that you get used to it .. it becomes a routine .. the knockback I mean .. the rampage just sucks. At least my other toons still can use ID so some of them can contribute to the fight and dont die from standing too close.

GSS drop rate is ultra bad but it should stay that way.
Abyss sucks but it should stay that way

Nice update on the wiki chief. VP looks promising. I hope many of you can explore it soon :-)

I will try your loot macro on monday aswell.. or try to add the count to the one I use … thx dim

Edit: does this work on non stackable items also?

Tank, exact drop rates aren't released

-Draca

I only ask because I got ucv4 on my first Kera and then never see one again 

Understandable that actual drop rates aren't released

Tank

Well and you wonder why u only get shit loot these days? Haha
