    Quote: "So it is our hope that the player base might formulate a plan to improve the event, and give the proposal to the developers." My comments are just personal suggestions. I'm sure Efi would have had some input if he's been invited to your meeting, and I'm sure he will comment in due course.

    A good start may be to look at several of the previous conversations on the forums. I can summarize a few of the thoughts.

    The Warder could be a triggered raid. Keep it rare, perhaps an expensive credit-sink, or rare item. It saddens me that the same people continue to hog this spawn and use the loot to trade up, and not allow mere mortals to even glimpse this spawn.

    The raids can be very stingy. Things like DG seem to be rarer than necessary. You turn up with 12-15 toons and there are only 2-3-4 items worth rolling for. Add more devices, random AAs, ammo samples, rare comps.

    Bring back the old Halloween raid in ABG as a permanent thing. It had a nice range of beams and devices that dropped. It can still be rare - limit the pumpkin spawn to random (BL spawned?) locations and restrict figurine drops.

    Review the respawn cycles. I'm fortunate to be in a guild that raids often but I am lucky to be on at the right time and sometimes go a week or more without a raid. Make them 18hr, or random 12-36hr, or triggerable, or purchaseable. This would also make more space for public raids.

    Review the drops on AV, Bunyip and Zenrei. Same comments as the stingy raids.

    Evermore has done some great work on making the rarer items drop in more places (though I have seen little evidence that the rare drops becoming more obtainable despite systematic searching). Can we review the items that have fewer than 30 builders and spread the love. Many of these builders are not with us anymore. I can list off most of these items if need be.
    Some of the L8-9 devices are difficult to come by.

    AAs are just too rare. I rejoined the game a few months after live (eye ops) and unfortunately missed the free-for-all when AAs seemed like confetti. I still mine a lot and still have just one AA despite years of searching. Can these be added as rare drops in raids.

    I have no issue with items remaining rare, just that they become more obtainable with dedicated work.

    What Strettch says - totally agree - many of these items are fill-in items which are valuable if you have nothing better. Not everyone gets to win the best stuff immediately.

     

    I also think the quest for more and more damage actually makes the game more boring. If you can kill a L66 with 2 toons in a few minutes without any real effort what was the point. You may as well shoot scuttlebugs. The degree of difficulty makes the game more interesting, not the uber goober super potatoguns which can slice through Desash or whoever like a butter-sauced fillet of trout.

    Ty ty ty for doing these.  I can't wait for the next patch.  This will give me a whole new project to keep me busy for the forseeable future.  It's these small things that have been difficult or impossible to find.  Thank you Evermore, for making them achievable.

    I have been tidying my Agrippa file and was checking off what I could/couldn't build.

     

    The DB can find most stuff with a simple search like 'flechette" but the following were NOT found.  Very odd?

     

    Auctorius Remoror Quinque

    Seco Secare Secui Sectum Quinque (say that with a mouthful of Captain Crunch).

    Stage II Electronic Authorization

    Multiflorus Multiplico Effervo

    Aspectus Limo Quinque

     

    However you CAN navigate to them if you know what components they use.  eg. Vortex Titanium Barrel leads to the Multiflorus.

     

    Maybe its just my stupid Firefox.  Can anyone else replicate this?

    Yes, I can't wait for Healing the Shear and MCP to come.  Some lovely items to work for.

    I'd also suggest people relax and enjoy the game. 

    Explore the missions, find all the bosses including the minor ones, help others, do Agrippa, do raids as much for helping others get something nice rather than with the sole aim of getting the best gear within weeks of getting L9.  I have been going on guild raids forever and I love seeing people winning something great even though I still haven't got things like a Hellbore or a glare of Devastation.
