Looks like "somebody" was slacking last year and "they" didn't get a picture of his inventory for the wiki.




My bad... I will add it once the zone opens up.

I wouldn't really rely on the current setup to run chains of spawned bosses too much.  I know I got into an /ooc dialogue with Hate regarding spawn rates of subsequent chain mobs in 2014 and he'd confirmed that each next boss was exponentially harder to spawn than the previous one.  He never offered up hard numbers, but I'll just use an arbitrary baseline to illustrate my point.

Let's say you popped CT off of trash and to spawn SM from him is a 1/10 chance.  The chance for the next boss spawn in the chain, IG, remains static at that 1/10 rate.  So to go from CT to IG is gonna be 1/100.  To go from CT to BU ends up being 1/1000, and so on.  From BU, you get Chilled Devil, from Chilled Devil you get Arcing Demon, from Arcing Demon you get Mistress of Flame and from Mistress of Flame you get Angryface.  As the rate remains static, to get from CT all the way to Angryface would be 1 in 10mil.

The way Hunter had it set up was with the chances of the next spawn in chain being higher as you got to higher bosses.  You would pop your Skeleton or Werewolf or w/e off of trash, then the mini gods like Mini Rallos would be like a 1/30 chance.  To get from Mini Rallos to CT was set to something like 1/20, CT to SM was 1/15 and SM to IG was 1/10ish.  Again, these are not hard numbers, merely illustrating the point that as you got deeper into the chains your chance to spawn the next boss is higher...because keeping it static makes it a retardedly rare chance to keep going.  Part of the fun of the old setup was that people in T1 and T2 gear could do the Undead mini and even the mini god bosses, but if they got a CT pop and got smoked they could just ask in /ooc for someone to come and help them.  People who were geared enough to help would jump at the chance to do it and split the loot with the lower tiered folks. If they were geared out in SM pets already and the person's CT chained into SM, the lower level toon would be able to loot the SM pet because the higher geared toon was only after IG pets.  You'd have the strike5's and scepter upgrades dropping too, generally the strikes either got split or given to the lower level person because the higher tiered person was only interested in the scepter upgrade.  It was far more social and communal, you'd be farming greens trying to start a chain of your own and see the emote in chat about SM spawning and kinda stop and wait to see if someone asked for help or if they got IG to emote spawning and needed help with that.  It was fun to jump from one person's instance to another's to kill CT's, SM's and IG's and everyone involved benefited from it.

The current setup is nice though, you get a shitload of plat drops and fight level relevant mobs for decent exp.  Farming greens with jack shit for loot unless you popped a chain made my eyes bleed, but it was pretty exhilarating to run a decent chain into SM or even IG.  The current setup allows you to be able to force spawn deeper chain mobs based on the level of the mobs in zone and kill rate, so it's nice to be able to know if you put in X amount of time, you have a good chance to get X reward.  I like the quests too, you can grind them out to be able to purchase the pets even if you don't get any good chain runs.  The only thing I'd adjust about the current setup is making deep chains far more possible to run, this static setup is quite frankly lame.

Halloween that Hunter implemented in 2013 was excellent.    Going to the creepy zones and spawning boss chains was really fun.   As Dimurwar pointed out here the event was also very social.    Everyone seemed to enjoy the BU event as well. 

I've not seen Halloween on 2014 or 2015 but we can definitely see the influx of plat on the server.   Seems peeps got close to a billion plat last Halloween.   That seems a tad bit much, not sure if that is great for the server actually.

Here is a picture of the Halloween tokens.  I believe it was one token if that asshole Snow Nose McBlowjob gave you credit for candy, and 3 tokens for the Lantern/Pick/Shovel/Honeypot.  I think it was 1 token per boss kill?

That sounds about right Noot, but I was talking about a picture of the merchant window for the undead sporali. Its easier to just save a picture of it to the wiki instead of having to make a table for the pricing data.

Can someone rehost the halloween files for me? I'm in China with VPN and it still blocks me from DropBox. Wetransfer would be great.

Thanks.

Sadly I cant help but agree with Peign. We're definitely headed that direction, and we have been for decades. Lately things have just sped up thanks to two parties who seem to be doing everything they can to bring it about and an electorate too stupid to see it.

But, HEY! Howsabout them Cubbies!!!

On a different note I am sure one of you guys know, looking at Chunka =x, for the double credits, do I need to do anything special when I donate or is it automatic starting tomorrow?

I've been watching this thread from a distance, for good reason. It's like a hornets nest full of chainsaws and salty baby tears.

It's automatic...nothing special.  You pay 50 bucks you get 100 credits.
