This really should be in rants/flames at this point. :-P

And again, personal pissing match started. Locking thread.

On the SPECIFIC loot issue, that can potentially be addressed. I'll review the script tomorrow to see what I may be able to do to assist in that area.

Just to add my observation to the mix, after many clears and getting a total of nearly 70% less tokens than the non BP/Leg type on Splitpaw (legs) and a little over 50% less on H1N1 I started instance bouncing to just farm those areas (Skies for Splitpaw and Underworld for H1N1), and saw no improvement on drop rate for those 2 types. A guildie was handing me all his loots from another instance and the numbers were pretty similar, and some in GC mentioned they had the same issues. It seems completely random now.

Ok, it's actually a weird issue. All mobs have the SAME chance for any token, but there is a separate roll I overlooked that is the "token specific" drops we're referring to in this thread. I have just added this to the quest script. New instances should result in those missing "specifics".

Yea, plus scripted or not, token drop rate is still terribly low. Or at least it has been for me since the change. A full clear of HoH last night netted me all of about 10 tokens. And I believe 4 of them came from Shadow.

Heh this has been somewhat "cleared" as not particularly true. I had a few people get decided vocal about it. Spawning 400 Avatars, I earned ~4 tokens more per 400 avatars, three sets of 400, five runs of three sets. All said and done, it's the same or better.

Sorry for the lack of double loot, there is an issue still pending and I don't want to give another disappointing weekend. I'll figure out a weekend somewhat soon and announce it ~1-2 weeks in advance again, like we used to do. :-P

Thirst of Muram rank 2 have Duration set as permanent instead of 0.3 like 1st and 3rd rank.

Resolved.

What is the upside to "scripted" loot?

Double loot on literally at the drop of a hat and it's 100x easier to maintain. I could enable right now, shout "DOUBLE LOOT CREATE INSTANCES" and all instances created at that point would have double loot. No reboot needed. :-)

[Hate]

Add T5 to that list. With that, I believe all custom/tier zones are DONE!

Cleared Anguish and OMM's chests didn't have essence at all. Isn't he supposed be always giving one essence?

Testing moving away from the "guaranteed" model. The upside is now ALL mobs can drop essences (up from the one dog-like mob type alone, or ~33 mobs per Anguish clear). The downside, there is no guaranteed essence per clear.


TOFS now on scripted loot as well.

Thats very nice to do it now with the UW I just did my UW XII yesterday and cant use it now anymore ? I am working in T10 have done all the quests except kill 1000 Plague ( have done 700 now ) have all armor but cant get the next lvl 79 ? When will it be to get lvl 79 ? I thought the plagues are for epic and not to lvl up. Some further information would be really nice and not just going ahead to make the game some people which really working hard on it unplayable. Or go and give me my 100 essences back and give me my UW XI with all the augs Hatstomp IV, Ultimate Protection IV, and Epic 9.0 :p

As explained in the email, converted it back down to XI and added 100 Essence of Sunderock item (quest result) in your claim bank.

So should I spend 500$ on some new gear (Motherboard, processor, ram) OR should i drop 1k on a new system and just call it good?

best bang for my $$...

Misc Updates/Notes/Things!


Firstly, I am not dead. I was in and out of planes last week to get hired. Yaaaay! I'll still be active, just not literally logged in all day anymore.

Second, UWs now have level limits in place. Yes it sucks, yes it was unexpected, but it's in place to address too many issues and discourage newbies from STARTING into the UW grind instead of playing the bloody game. The UW is basically tier + 1 (i.e. XII is obtainable AFTER T10 [L79], XI is obtainable AFTER T9 [L78], etc etc). The lowest level is 71 for UWs.

Finally, the turn in "safety net" will not be coming back. Akkadius wrote a @#%@ing awesome tool to save people from themselves, but in the end, it was abused during lag. Since Hunter and EQ live was all about "you lose it, you fix it", we will be returning to that policy. If you hand in your UCv3 parts to wrong NPC, not my problem. If you hand in 100 essences to your pet/banker/merchant, not my problem. If you accidentally hand in your class augment to the Newbie Vendor, again, not my problem.

• My Problem: Server failed, server ate it, quest failure, lag-based deletion or out-of-sync.
• Not My Problem: Literally everything else.

Double loot not working in any new instance, all zones I have checked. Is it turned off or some kind of error?

This is because we only enacted it for scripted zones. This was my call as I just wanted a temporary  bit of DL to help ease the undoing of the previous day or so of lost time. :-(

With it being scaled to highest level, it's already take me 2 hours to complete it with Projections and Pain smacking serious ass!

With it scaled on HP and trash destroying tank in couple rounds isn't "making it difficult." It's just dumb and only reason it really exist is to combat against low level with high RoA/UW/T8+Buffs.

And before anyone say it, my RoA is only in level range 250-330 and I don't have UW. I made sure that I don't have the buffs either.

With UW level limits, HP scaling may disappear this week.
