Have done proving grounds twice while this was happening, Half or more than half of the trash mobs have ungodly amounts of HP, The named have normal HP and drop np, i decided to just drag all the bugged mobs around til i finished killing all the named and dragged them to my group to chew thru, not a single one of them dropped anything no plat bag no ess no anything. Both times this happened i was running Dminor. This last run i got an entire 2 essences and any time besides these last 2 times i've come out with atleast 5 if not alot more than that. Something is for sure broken.

i wasn't so much replying to you directly and more replying to the discussion on buffs in general going on in public channels at the moment.

if buffing lower tier people is such a issue and makes the game so much easier then what of higher tiers grinding out UWs and basically giving away all the loot they generate to a lowbie, if you wanna stand on the soap box that buffing them makes it to easy then you should probably refocus on giving away entire tiers worth of gear.  Unless of course thats not the real reason you have issue with it.

I can confirm this loaded in a alt level 70 shm targeted my MT casted a 98% buff got the emote about knocking it down to 50 and nothing actually happened.

add a big plat comp to any new UW augs poof goes all the top tier people's plat

another broken ish thing is the xp mask rebuff thing, sometimes it doesn't trigger at all and you get the full buff, witch i might not be saying anything about if that was the only thing, but just as often as it doesn't rebuff you with the right one, it doesn't rebuff you at all and just leaves you with nothing.

*edit: Have had 4 300%+ buffs casted on me all of them gave me the recast msg none of them actually stuck

i thought proving grounds only required 3 people its telling me 6

The pal epic click warmth of light is not affected by healing focus charm focus and does not crit. Not sure if this is intended, i hope not.

Couple things.

Selo's works on and off with no seemingly apparent rhyme or reason, and the entire time it is running any pets that are up spam this is not a valid target every time the song lands.

I keep getting booted to dranik when i try to make instances not everytime but so far its happened on a guild instance of the hole, a raid and guild instance of hohonora, and it happened a few other times with instances i do not remember.

Most the time i was able to create the other kind of instance and work around it but this time hohonora just wouldn't have it.

so take the donations and setup a zone server just for instances of T10? id be willing to bet a real cheap server could run 20+ instances of just T10 all by itself. Seeing as how i setup a server that ran 80 people in the arena all in combat while i was running eq and firefox and whatever else you run on a normal computer with no lag for anyone.

could you just run a search on the db for any same item id's that happened within x time in common item hand in zones, remove any items looted instead of handed in remove one entry from each dupe and handle refunds or bugged stuff via petitions and emails afterward as i feel the amount of legit times getting 2 items back from a npc is close to nill

there isn't a way to check and see when/where dupes happened and just roll those back?

totally just got kicked off with like 3 triggers spawned in abyss QQ i'll never finish this zone first time i've logged in to play in over a month aswell le'sigh
