  • Bumping the resists on the Visage was step in right direction, but feels like this still needs one more mod. Keep the HPR and Hit Points, and add Strength.  Would then be an item that could be used by just about any template, and isn't outrageously …
  • Keven, I did not attempt any Fel hunting yet. Will try that tonight hopefully. Void Pool was already above level 30 when I joined in.  I will give that another look to see how it works at lower levels. Regarding mods on the Visage, one of the thing…
  • Some thoughts on spawn rate:- is anything being planned to handle server load for the Void Pool area when this goes live on Atlantic?  I can see this being a major lag fest.  Drop rate was decent on TC with medium sized group, but it's going to be d…
  • I have a Mace and Shield Paladin Warrior which runs the following:  120 Mace Fighting 120 Tactics 100 Parrying 120 Chivalry 090 Healing 090 Anatomy 080 Resist Spells   I run with slayer sets of Barbed Whips and Hammer Picks for weapons. Human race. …
    in Macer Builds? Comment by Merlin March 30
  • Bots are going to show up regardless of how many events there are and at what times.  This proposed change (from a troll) will create yet another situation where a change ends up helping bots and hurting actual players.
  • +1 on the concern that so many events are being held on a major holiday.  I get it that it's the usual end of the month rush of EM events for shards that haven't had drops yet and Easter was very early this year, but seems excessive that there would…
  • EM Mayhem said: Greetings Merlin! We do apologize for missing this months meeting. Sometimes life gets way out of control! At our last event on Monday, someone did mention it was Easter Sunday, realizing our folly we agreed on the spot to po…
  • EM Mayhem said: Apologies, due to unforeseen events, Sunday's (the 24th) Royal Council meeting has ben rescheduled to Sunday, March 31st. I'm sorry but that's not fair to everyone who attended last night. We stayed the full hour waiting fo…
  • I can speak from experience as a moderator on Stratics that it is a thankless job.   Do not underestimate the non-sense that forum moderators have to tolerate behind the scenes with nasty PMs, obtrusive personalities, and always having to deal with …
  • popps said: Merlin said: Overall, thought this was a decent event.   In terms of drop numbers, I was averaging 50-60 drops each night the first month of the event. Generally playing in the Winter Spur icy area, using a sampire with 800…
  • Overall, thought this was a decent event.   In terms of drop numbers, I was averaging 50-60 drops each night the first month of the event. Generally playing in the Winter Spur icy area, using a sampire with 800ish luck, always using a potion of glor…
  • Weren't the Yukio's glasses already offered twice in the last two years including the Counterfeit Commodities event that was super easy to get drops?  Are there none reasonably priced available?  We need more unique items, not repeats.
  • Mayhem Hail and well met!  Considering Sunday is the end of the holiday weekend and will be quite busy, would it make more sense to do your first meeting after the elections in early to mid December?  I think there will be more motivation for turn…
  • OK - so not the biggest or best decorated - but maybe the coolest location! Within the Moonglow Graveyard in Trammel on Atlantic - passed on from generation to generation of Pendragon's - welcome to The Tomb of the Dead! Location and coordi…
  • In consideration that this is a Fall Dynamic Event and this post is still stickied... I figured its fair game to post some results here.    So far I have run a fortune potion on three separate occasions with my sampire.  Before eating the potion, I …
  • MinocMiner said: Couple people in this feedback have some massive Main Character syndrome going on.  Does typing in constant bold mean you think your opinions are better and more valid than everyone else here?  Or the constant need to say th…
  • There is a problem when one single short-duration event will produce three items that will be "best-in-slot" and make thousands of other items in those slots instantly inferior.  The Mempo is one of the strongest items that has ever been relea…
  • Bok would benefit from lower splinter so more mods could be imbued - OR - including some randomization to the elemental damage done. 
  • Been doing some more testing on the spawn...Friday night - 14 drops in about 1.5 hoursSaturday night - 8 drops in an hourSunday afternoon - 6 drops in hour fifteen This is using a high end sampire with 250 luck.  Mainly playing on plains of of Isamu…
  • One thing that's good about this discussion being led by Kyronix is that he knows what's what and who's who.  I had the pleasure of meeting him at the 20th anniversary party and we had a laugh about the topic of forum trolls.  He was clear…
  • keven2002 said: I can see the argument on the mempo being OP but I don't think the gloves are that OP given they have -30 Necro. I actually think it's a very smart thing the Devs did with this item to make it a best in slot type item while a…

  • Kyronix said: There's a lot of back and forth on some items being to OP, while others are saying they are right on, while others are asking for additional properties.  That's usually a good sign we are right where want to be. Finally down…
  • My understanding has been that luck had diminishing returns somewhere in the range of 2000-2400 (confirm?).    Having said that, when you try to maximize luck on your suit, you inevitably give up other stats and mods that you could have used to be …
  • Vesper on ATL also did not have anyone run  this cycle (I was governor there last term).  
  • I concur with Yoshi:  Reversing the effects of a charge back can takes weeks, if not months, of back and forth with EA to get accounts restored .. and there is no guarantee that they will.   Contacting support or emailing Mesanna is best course of …
  • SnakePersn said: I mostly play a tamer or a fisher, never really got into melee. My first ever character has been sitting idle for years. I think I last played her pretty shortly after AOS and then switched to mostly taming. I am pretty sure …
  • Grimbeard said: Again tram town buffs should not work in fel... Yes they should.  
  • Leave the election process as is.   We do not want or need “one vote for one account”.   It is a bad suggestion that will only decrease involvement in the elections and cross shard participation.   I currently have 40 accounts and voted more…
