  • Pawain said: Other than spawns it seems the large guilds do not control much.  You would think they could get together during the Castle design contest and make a Guild house Castle specifically for their use. That has not happened yet. Our g…

  • I have seen this bug happen in the past.  Sometimes it's for an unexplained reason and other times there can be a tricky captain that is stuck somewhere that you almost can't see (i.e., in between a wall).  Some pods are worse than others for this. …

  • Voting mechanics should be left alone.   Each account should be able to vote once on each shard. 
  • Thumbs up on the blue print idea.  I really wish I had the design eye that others due for house customization.  I'd gladly pay a fair sum for nice house blue prints.   
  • My understanding was that Luck does not affect the likelihood of a drop, but rather the mods on the drop.  Although, I also feel like we've heard it every which way at one point or another. 
  • For tinkering, I think the sweet spot is in the 30's.  I don't recall too many repair fails if you get it before it dips that low.   If you wait until is less than 10, there is going to be a high chance of multiple fails and lots of durability loss.…
  • Choosing the town bonus is about the only advantage left to being a governor.  And for that matter, voting in the elections.   In my opinion, that should not be changed.  In the event it did change, I would suggest that each city should have a speci…
  • Overall, many of the changes from a few weeks ago have made the event more feasible from a playability stand point.   The one remaining trouble I seem to find is that just about every other day is that there will just be an enormous amount of par…
  • Please leave town bonuses alone.   There is no need for these to be purgeable. If there is any alternative solution here, make the town buffs available in Fel.  
  • Ordovicia said: I was curious if anyone had any thoughts on what I should get to sell to make a few coins from the event item trader since I have all the items for my self now and have accumulated more points. I really only see the earrings a…
  • keven2002 said:  Have you used a whip with Bushido vs without; if was the difference that much or just a couple of damage points? I haven't tested with/without Bushido for these new Fey event whips just yet.   However, I have done th…
  • With my sampire, I have found the key to killing paragons at these events and being able to leach back life is to group them up with another bunch of non-paragons before hitting whirlwind and rotating targets.  Also, Bushido Confidence is your frien…
  • keven2002 said: Does anyone with a macer find much use for the whip (forget which one it's called) using whirlwind (maybe @ Merlin or @ PlayerSkillFTW can chime in)? I hardly ever see anyone using a whip ever so wasn't sure if that was kind …
  • I concur that Vendor Search has been working great since the last time they put in a major re-work for it.  Fingers crossed it stays this way.  
  • Glad to have you back.  Lots of good groups and guilds on Atlantic.   I'm an EC player too, so would be glad to help with any questions.   Happy hunting! 
  • Please leave Parrying and Bushido as is.   
  • + 1 on different colored EM gates

  • The spawn rate is still really funky on Atlantic.   Last night, the top section of the main floor seemed to be clear of spawn for more than 40 minutes of the potion I popped.  The respawn timer really needs to get a little quicker. 
  • Greater Dragons are fine as is.   No changes are necessary. 
  • Battle report:Yesterday in the early afternoon, I was able to sneak in some play time to finish out the last 20 minutes of potion time that I had left on my thrower.   There was a fair amount of people in the dungeon, but surprisingly, not alot of s…
  • Battle report:I had a much better experience late yesterday evening than I did the day before.I was fighting around the main level, used a potion and got 30+ drops.  There was decent amount of people in there at the same time, so it made it alot mor…
  • Merus said: IMO Destard needs more low/mid level critters than what I saw yesterday.  Far too much running around just trying to find something alive.  I also think they need to somehow limit which mobs that have fire breath can spawn as para…
  • They nerfed Hail Storm a few years back.  They should return it to the way it was originally functioning. 
  • Some general feedback after playing on Atlantic Tram side tonight: -  Lag was fixed compared to last few weeks.  Kudos on that.  -  Spawn rate is so-so.  A little slower than before, but was relatively enough stuff to kill.   Some areas, like level …
