Static type content like this is inevitable in an MMO. I mean how many times has Frostfire been arrested ? But when you run the arc on a character, it is the very first time he is arrested in the game.

I recently rolled a Katana/regen scrapper. Why would she be locked out of say Rikti Swords if raids were pulled ? Or my characters who has fought off numerous attacks, why would it be fair to them to have a city block levelled ?

Is a dicotomy for sure, but one you can get your head aorund relatively easily.

In my opinion coming out with accusations like this against regular and frequently helpful players should earn you a board ban.

The market forum regulars are probably the most helpful sub-population (toss up between here and the base builders) if you are actually seeking help and are willing to listen.

*nods* I still think some of them should have been in Pool B (with a low chance to drop), to encourage mission completions.

There is a reason why I have been less active in betas recently, Part of it is burn out, part of it is that my objective insight into things like rewards have been basically ignored.

My last big beta 'project' was the merits analysis and collation. Lookie whats happened there, story arcs have been 'bumped' up twice in median rewards since that analysis and discussion.

I understood it still needed to be targeted on an ally. I am incorrect in that ?

(My highbie FF troller doesn't have the power)

Yes it does and no in all honestly I doubt the Devs would do that deliberately. A bug is much more likely, but a bug with the RNG tied to specific maps has been seen before.

Bye

Can I have your stuff then ?

An extension of that thought, could certain popular farm maps be set to a poor seed (by design or by accident)?

Check drop rates on say an regular arc series, and then a repeated farm map.

Thats the exact message our SG webmaster used recently. I had to laugh

Thanks for your effort on this SP.

I wasn't aware of that little oddity. Thanks

The TF code prevented it when I tried (during the open testing of AE).

Just for giggles I tried on test just now. You just don't get the option to drop when talking to the contact

comment I got the follow (anon) rep comment

Which is quite correct, but then again 8 of anything cannot run the Hami raid. I should have eliminated specifically the Hami raid from that, rather than leaving it assumed.

The RWZ Ship raid itslef is doable, depending upon how you judge sucess.
In terms of getting onto the ship and getting merits - yes.
Defeating Ukon is likely going to limited by team juggling to ensure that you can plant enough bombs. (it takes what 3 or is it 4 bombs planted to get him out)

It is interesting just how well an all defender Hami raid goes though. A couple were run on test which lacked a little in numbers showed by bringing down mitos showed that it was a) feasibility and b) required more than 22-23 defenders to be successful without many team wipes.

Get 4 teams out there (32) and it would be a different matter enitrely

Yellow Mitos (high non-melee defence) are taken out by massed tactics (and other +tohit) overcoming the ranged defence.

Blue mitos (ranged damage) fall easily

Green would probably be the trickiest, but there are enough defenders with holds that it shouldn't be an issue.

and of course no other heroside AT has howling twilight and its ability to return a tightly clustered raid group to full strength in a single activation.
