Bringing back Nadia...a poll

[j-Xiti]

Who's Nadia? Where was she?

[Seranthor]

Yes, Bring her back because it is still completely unacceptable that all the tech comps that are required are not on the loot tables and/or are on mobs that dont spawn in sufficient quantity to reasonably hunt your own comps.

[Tympest]

My vote: Yes (at least until [1] all the components are in game--e.g., myloc hairs, brains, etc., and [2] the drop and spawn rate for such beasties as zombie ogres are increased).

This is my vote as well

[Aamer Khan]

No.

But instead of bringing her back, just add the comps that dont drop to any mob you like so that we can be done with the lot of those thieving crooks!

Death to the Vielo!

[Lumineux]

No- We managed to surivive before she showed up. Just get thoes comp drops tweaked out.

[Kwinn]

Near as I can figure it so far its 14-10 in favor of yes

yes does have the proviso noted in replys. I agree with the part concerning the comps not yet in game. I do not agree the part concerning the so-called rare or hard to get comps

I will say this:the hard to get comps are just that...hard to get there are plenty of mobs and the drop rate is fine I got 6 red fringes, 12 blues, half a dozen aboms, couple of kwellans and ZoTs plus several comps ranging from dire wolf fangs to mithril golem frags in numbers from 2-30 in 3 days. It's all in knowing where to hunt, how to hunt, and how to get where the action is. Spawns and drop rates are fine. IMO, we've gotten lazy. Does anyone here remember pre-merge arbotus gullets??? or Imbued Armor Splinters? We've survived before Nadia, we'll survive without her

[evilkarl]

No

But make all the comps available in game

[Seranthor]

Yes, Kwinn, I remember pre-merge, many of us remember it. It was possible to get 20 arb gullets in a couple hours of work. With regard to all these fantastic claims (not attacking you) that have been made by so many folks here by all means do share the location or sell them to me, I'm happy to subsidize those that want to hunt for them, I would rather give my money to someone else and not the Mafia.

[Barnaby Gump]

Yes, bring her back, I would prefer to get shafted by an NPC than by a farmer on the impossible to get drops.

[Phillip]

forget it Kwinn...

this stuff is easy yes,but not for the children of a lesser ****.

they want convenience, equality, carebear on prozac ect...

not sure man.

i remember running accross people like Zodias, Carinde, Ash, yourself and quite a many others who interestingly were able to get these impossibly raredrops...you guys earned it. i don't consider it camping or farming. i'm not a crybaby. not anyone who rightfully EARNED something is a camper or farmer. you guys were simply hunting for comps. all is well. and yes, i usually light you guys on fire while you were AFK, then move along find myself a nice spot to hunt.

and it's possible to do while having a few Coronas.

Unfortunately Phillip, it appears you may be right. It's sad really, and it will be sadder when the servers finally shut down because no-one wants to play a game where everything is handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, they will blame that on someone else too... :/

Naaaa, now it's still the time for those who are leaving because of the mithril change....as soon as those are gone, it's time for those who are leaving because they think everything is so freaking easy.

[imported_Ssilmath]

Bring her back with the unavailable comps...

Time to start weaning the kiddies...

P.S. Farmers go after Fyakki and Necroflies, I've never heard of someone farming Zombie Ogre Toes or Mighty Aegror Pus Packets en masse

Ok lets hear from the high and mighty, where did YOU get your zombie toes and the like for YOUR armor?... Hmm, time to call the kettle black I believe it is.

And you have a better chance of keeping players if you dont make things unattainable. Folks aren't quitting cause its too easy... :) You WILL see people quit when you make things overly hard without good reason.

[IndyMan]

YES

looks like 2 to 1 for yes so far

[belezar]

Yes

[imported_Twelvebagger]

My vote: Yes (at least until [1] all the components are in game--e.g., myloc hairs, brains, etc., and [2] the drop and spawn rate for such beasties as zombie ogres are increased).

Can't say it better than that.

She should go at the same time the above happens, then and only then.

[imported_Twelvebagger]

I will say this:the hard to get comps are just that...hard to get there are plenty of mobs and the drop rate is fine

Agreed in thatsome comps should be hard to get, but define hard and define plenty.

I got 6 red fringes, 12 blues, half a dozen aboms, couple of kwellans and ZoTs plus several comps ranging from dire wolf fangs to mithril golem frags in numbers from 2-30 in 3 days.

Sure, that's 3 days, and how many hours of farming/comp hunting? Also consider, that whatever time you come up with, you're still not ready to make a suit of armor.

It's all in knowing where to hunt, how to hunt, and how to get where the action is. Spawns and drop rates are fine. IMO, we've gotten lazy. Does anyone here remember pre-merge arbotus gullets??? or Imbued Armor Splinters? We've survived before Nadia, we'll survive without her

I know several people that are accomplished hunters, and most of them agree that even when knowing where and how to hunt, the drop rate should still be upped a bit. I can go out there with my biped and enjoy the same luxuries you do (and perhapsa bit more efficiently, no offense,since everything drops in 1-2 hits) and it is still a very, very long grind in attaining fringes and toes.

Should it be that difficult? For the most part, I don't think it should. I would like to see one of the following occur to some degree, perhaps both:

Increase in spawn number, or increase in drop rate. Leave them in a nasty spot that mandates a strong player or a strong group, no objection with that. But I've killed plenty of vexators and sure haven't scored many fringes.

To be more specific however, I AM in favor of having certain drops being hard to get, especially at a higher tier. I think it's reasonable that a strong player should be able to get enough comps for a full suit of armor (1 type of comp for 1 tech) if they spent a full day hunting said mob. Currently the setup is that the majority of mobs take only 1 hour to get 24 comps (or less than 1 hour spawn depending), and the rest take days. Just seems imbalanced.

IAS were very easy to get, it's just that there weren't many people pre-merge (not on bounty, on other shards there were) that were tough enough to pull in the big pulls of those humanoids. That pit near harro that was full of the humanoids was a gold mine if you could pull the whole spawn.

[Zarcharien]

Yes.
