Also noticed yesterday that at 9a.m. (gametime) I ran to the open portal (near the waterfall by ramp up to old orc #2) and entered it and Sharpclaw spawned....not sure if time had anything to do with it or not but felt was worth noting.  So he spawns just not all the time just very very rarely. Also to note I was not killing ANY bandits when he spawned heck I didnt kill bandits for a week or two.

Kinda funny but...I have now completed all 3 factions and have 6 of 8 UA pieces (chest,legs,hands,1 wrist,arms,feet) and sitting at a PB kill 960/1000....seems the epic count is still too high to have all 3 factions a majority of the UA complete and still be S.O.L. on an epic.....On a positive note I have all the esse's/Master esse/EoN required for the next UW once I get done with 40 more PB kills........

Of course I still think that level restricting buffs is a sure fire way to make content more challenging and not steam rolling it.

T10 buffs should only be able to be used on t9-t10 toons.

t9 buffs on t8-t10.

t8 on t7-t10.

t7 on t6-t10.

t6 on t5-t10.

t5 on t4-t10.

etc, etc.


I see too many people asking "buffs available any time soon" far too much.  The reason being it allows people to run in and cold smoke the content!  Then they hit later tiers and are like OMG this is actually challenging!

I like the idea of making mobs harder if you use teleports....how about making them T10 hard?!  That way people in zone can still have the option to do it "the old fashioned way' and it challenges those people who are farming t10!

Only problem Godtank, they arent as hard.  With all the uber buffs that are available, almost every hour, the content is rather laughable now....so to say that you need to see big hits....maybe I can see this if we were to level limit buffs DRASTICALLY and then look at upping white damage and retarding strike damage.

no this affects everyone, from T1 on up.

With appropriate UC and strike augs the content is pretty easy as is?  Are you asking to have white damage upped and strike aug damage reduced?  There has to be a give and take here...you can't have both.  You also don't know if there is something else lined up further up the pipe that may change things later on.....once again i don't see where there is anything to complain about IF you are keeping up with each tiers strike augs and ultimate charm....unless you just want to smack the crap out of a mob and see HUGE numbers for each hit.  If that's the case...get an UW

I think your damage should come from strike augs...if you want white damage go with UW. Strike augs (with the UC of appropriate tier) add a WHOLE heap of damage.  What I see here is someone wanting to reinvent the wheel.


To be honest what I do see is someone who wants to increase white damage because they are in t10 and dps is slow because that person didnt take the time to do something as simple as a UCv2 (which is the EASIEST upgrade to heal/spell damage you can get!).....your lack of motivation to appropriately gear your toon is noone else's fault but your own.

Yea it was not t10 really.


I have a new job and lots of Meat world stuff to borrow the term that is a priority over game time....

T10 doesn't care about the myriad of reasons, it only cares that your soul has been reaped, looted and is now in it's bags awaiting turn in.

So that's where all those souls come from on the mobs......

Thanks Dimurwar.....I thought maybe my mind was slipping.....for fuck's sake! 

Have been going through all posts regarding t9.....maybe I was wrong and my memory is just going....I could have sworn before it was nerfed it was MUCH harder...but can't find the proof to back up my claim......


Still looking so far best I can find:

You should only be tanking 1 trash at a time in this zone.

This zone was designed for breaking into camps, trying to get single pulls.

So you'll need lots of HP, single pulls, and healing.

Not too many mobs cast spells, just the Shamans and such.

Undead come out at night, tunnels are safe spot, guards will protect you there. There is merchant in tunnel with ring to click port yourself directly to tunnel. Succor now fixed to port you to tunnel as well. You can get faction up with tunnel guards if needed by killing mobs in the zone.

The night time undead are sort of slow, with lower hp, and higher damage, to give it a zombie mode feel like in CoD zombie maps or something. Should be able to kite them or just run away to tunnel. Their range has even been nerfed now.

Trying not to spoil too much, but the zone is a good challenge to attempt SINGLE PULLS and keep your main tank alive with enough healing.

Edit:

I like to make final zones max difficult to begin with, and then make them easier after a few more tiers come out.

If I make it too easy now and harder later, then the slackers complain the earlier players had it easier and got their gear easy while late comers got nerfed.

Hope that makes sense.

It was nerfed because people QQ'd about it.

The only thing that was ever nerfed was the spawn rate of the Hill Giant, which did need to happen, but that's not a nerf to the laughable difficulty of the zone. The design was terrible, the mechanics behind the bosses were ever worse. I don't there was any enjoyment whatsoever out of that zone for me from start to finish. Most of us try not to think about the time of that place being the endgame of the server 

When the t9 first came out and the mobs were ramping and killing EVERYTHING! That was nerfed.....I remember making a druid because skin was the only thing that would keep you alive.....that zone was VERY hard when it first came out....this was when Hunter was still alive. I am not certain how soon it was nerfed after it first came online....Hate nerfed it more later

....considering t9 offered almost no challenge whatsoever to the players that were hopping in it on day 1. The only difference between the crews was how much of the zone you could pull at once and how fast you could kill it all.

I agree with everything but this line....when t9 was introduced it was hella hard! It was nerfed because people QQ'd about it.

Krucial, I have heard that he still spawns through open portals but it is a VERY rare chance of him spawning.  I have only had him once (and I did run through a portal to get him to spawn) I had been killing bandits previously so I don't know what, if anything, one had to do with the other.  I have had Rokki and Little Jaugn plenty.....but in all this time just ONE Sharp. 

The blood token quest is based on the players level. Similar to you I did death 1 & 2 when i was in OC, which i had to do the TOV quest. then i just did Death 3 & 4 but had gotten flagged for T10 and so i got the sunderock quest for both of those.

FYI the T10 quest is really not that bad. The hardest are the spectral sarnaks, and they arent really that hard. If you are just breaking into T10 just take the sarnaks slow 1-3 mobs at a time and you should be fine to get your 10 spectral sarnaks.

Damn, should have worked on this before. Thanks for the info!

It's really not that bad to kill the stuff in T10.....the worst part about spectral sarnaks is that they ONLY spawn at night....other than that it is a cool game mechanic.

Ok got everything up and running!This thing is like lightening! Just have a few more things to work out to smooth things out but......if ya'll aint got a SSD you REALLY should get one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
