Title: Unicorn poops Post by: Raygan on July 08, 2014, 01:17:46 pm Just another thought to throw out there. I have been noticing that it is MUCH easier to get aa crystals to drop in lower tiers (HoH/Anguish/etc) and the inability to pull massive trains to increase the drop rate in higher zones is a result...how about making the tougher zones drop better aa crystals (t8= 10k crystal and t9- 20k as an example). I know I could just go to HoH and look scary at the giants there and get a few but I much prefer to experience in higher tiers. Just something for you to chew the fat on.

The Hit Points of the trash is simply too high to have that happen. You can spend hours in those zones with the top 5 DPS teams on the server mass pulling, and still have any warrior with some anger 6's and a uc killing many many mobs much faster in HoH. That's another reason the AA feels lacking as shit above tier 6. The HP of the trash goes up by a HUGE amount, and the AA goes up by 0.

Exp per kill is pretty much the same as it is in T5 or T6 (6ish AA per kill with my bonus). And yeah, virtually no rainbows because of comparable kill speed.

What does that mean? :P On a serious note, the current setup is fairly good for the economy. Folks that are lower level or are so inclined can farm the lower zones mentioned and sell their rainbows and gsoas to those that are primarily farming T8/T9 etc. Seems to be a fairly good tradeoff. It is nice to have some semblance of an economy. |
