@Mesanna @Kyronix Is there a reason we have to wait till the next maintenance when you shoved the one yesterday out in the middle of the day, this should be done ASAP as it fixes a major problem with your player base testing this.

It's not scheduled to hit the remaining shards until the 10th, I think 4 days is plenty of time for testing.

 

[Lord Frodo]

It was just the fact that they had to push it out in the middle of the day yesterday and it really is totally hosed but they will wait till tomorrow to fix it. It is funny the push, push, push to test shards but wait, wait, wait to fix.

I wish it didn't take so long to find out for sure about arties not dropping, hunting with larisa made it semi fun lol

Not fun: pressing the levers when you get killed the second time.
Not fun: walking the maze when using the mouse will kill you because you repeatedly try to step on the tile that hits you then backs you up one pace so you can do it again
Not fun: Hearing others talk about getting ... the automaton part ... when you're not getting any
Not fun: walking the maze while being attacked by nasty area-effect blobs
Not fun: spending several hundred thousand gold
Not fun: not getting artifacts while killing Kotl and Myrmidex
Not fun: hearing someone in General Chat say that her dragon did a bleed attack on [use your imagination to combine "Kotl" and "Myrmidex" into one shorter word]

Would everything being handed to you in surplus for little effort be fun? How long would that be fun?

Speaking as someone who just ground 200 iron beetle scales to get to tier 3 of the Zosilem quests , I feel what you're saying. HOWEVER, somd kind of time/activity requirement is needed so content isn't completely pointless a few hours after its released. That being said, the grindiness level is inching up again with the overly long zippy/queen quests (specifically the population report/salty sea )

A better balance just needs to be struck.

I don't man I thought it was cool.

When i first started doing the levers they were a pain and figured out that waiting for the text to disappear didn't result in instant monochrome when pulling another lever.


Rest fell into place there, the drop rate seems to be okay for now, though wish it was a little higher.

But for the item costs seems to be appropriate I guess, aside from the boots. At the rate they dropped it'll take me 10 hours to get a set.

Going to try luck next time and see if it helps any.
