Leave drop rates the same, but allow the final dragon in ToV, Vullaak to drop the completed drake essence. It would allow player's that are on par with the charm difficulty to farm the trash for the pieces and the players past ToV difficulty to go in, and kill Vullak. Im sure people would not mind if you reduced the number of Blood of the Elder drops to make room for 1 or 2 Drake Essences. Thanks in advance.



That works as well if not better.

Then, I would randomize the spawns so that any of the 5 drake types could pop from each drake spawn point. This would keep the intended randomness all the while creating a "hunt" aspect. I think this would give some depth to an otherwise excruciatingly boring quest.


Probably wont happen but I second this idea.
While I understand not wanting the quests to be trivial or "beatable" in just a couple hours, this quest bottle necks at this point for some people.
I was a month playing every day to finish my charms.

Gms please, raise the drake parta drop rate, after 3 weeks non stop clearing everything in tov, still miss 4 pieces for 3 of my chars to complete the aug. Today, after clear again tov only saw 1 drop and I already had it....do something, this gave us a point to never work again in a quest looool J/K but pls do something with the drop rate.


*edit* - isnt cool when in 4 ST runs you complete 6 charms and after 3 seeks in tov, you still miss 3 charms.... I start to hate tov hahaha

Your problem is you need the parts.

The coding Vaion does goes something like this:

/if (${Character.Needs.Mob.Dropped.Parts}) {
/Do not drop required parts
/Search bags for parts they allready have & drop the parts they allready have to give them 'hope' that it will drop
} /else {
/Really make sure they dont need the parts & drop them like its Christmas!
}

it's a bit similar to his Death Touch Code:

/if (${Have.I.Killed.Them.With.Death.Touch.Recently?}) {
/wait a while longer for a Death touch to give them "hope"
} /else {
/Throw in a Death Touch to remind them I'm BOSS!
}

To sum up what Farci said here is a word that should be found in the 2013 dictionnary :

Vaionised : to be Vaionised means that someone (or something! We don't know yet wether this is a real alive entity or just a ... thing) is doing his utmost to block you in any form, on anything, everytime you try, as hard as you try on a game (and some thinks in RL too).
Exemples in EQ :

1) You try to kill a mob : you are DTed.

2) You manage to kill a mob after few tries which ended up in DT : zone crash.

3) You overcame the DT and the zone crash (took you about 3 wipes and 3 zone crash) : double crappy loot.

4) You overcame the DT, the zone crash, the first crappy double loot and you hope to get an item that makes you wet at night : stop dreaming, that won't happen anytime soon when you are online, but will surely drops for your guildmates (who won't need it because they are after another item)

5) You are doing something easy for a quest and you need something specific to finish it because you have already prelooted next items : the game will specificly not drop the specific item you specificly wanted thanks to a secret code !

6) You are about to quit the game because you are furious and tired of all that : item drops on the third mob you are killing if it's a quest, or you get the item you wanted on the boss so you are SO happy that a spell is casted on you that makes you forget all the frustration.

Examples in RL :

1) You just met a hot girl in the bus and she starts talking to you and wants to see you again so you want to take her cell number...but you forgot your cell ! You have got a paper to write it on ? Good, you will lose it ! You memorised the number ? The day you shall meet her you will stuck because you caught gastroenteritis !

2) You cook something awesome for your wife or friends or someone-you-want-to-seduce. You spend hours preparing and in the end...you miss the one thing that will make it awesome because you thought you had it in your fridge but it disappeared ! You manage to buy it ? People who will eat it will be allergic to something in it !

Ok, I think you got the picture :) To come back to your post, it took me so long to do them on my 4 first toons...and when I tried doing it for my 5th toon, I spent days slaughtering every wing of the zone and I never managed to get the last part of dragon so I gave up and waited last tiers of the game to get one. But I am sure that if I go there now, the dragon parts will be ON THE FLOOR already ! Don't get frustrated and move on :)

P.S : /hugs Vaion (and others!) who makes this server so special :)

Code: Select all

Examples in RL :

1) You just met a hot girl in the bus and she starts talking to you and wants to see you again so you want to take her cell number...but you forgot your cell ! You have got a paper to write it on ? Good, you will lose it ! You memorised the number ? The day you shall meet her you will stuck because you caught gastroenteritis !



Sorry but I don't see vaion this way .

Ex 1 - You just met a hot girl in the bus and she starts talking to you and wants to see you again. You meet her up in a bar then go straight to an hotel room. and as she starts pleasing you, you undress her and find out she has a bigger penis then you.

Ex 2 - The girl with the big penis show you his paladin parses and you notice he does more dps then your monk.


Thats Vaion way of bringing people down.

:lol: :lol:
I know I was mean and perv' Firenze, but you might be even worse than me ! That penis part is so much like Very Bad Trip 2 :) Loved it.

P.S : We really destroyed that poor guy's thread about Charm 4 !
P.P.S : I don't know what is your opinion Vaion, but you are definitly loved by the french community of this server (at least two of its most enlightenend members !) !! :lol:
