Also, another note, "Liquidation Team" is a voucher, not a rune, last time I checked. Hurray for S-E typos . . .

Figures. I finally found something I can attain, and SE goes and fucks with it. I'll bet there's a level minimum now.

WTG, SE.

the husband and I have farmed our mazes for days and days and never gotten ANYTHING but marbles and the occasional rune.

Yeah SE that was clearly fubar'd

Kailea · 01-13-2009, 11:57 AM

It was not working the was SE wanted it to/the way they thought it would. Thats all there is to it, but of course now we get the "boo hoo is not easy as hell now" BS -.-

I'd still like to know why the fuck the viewer had to be taken down for 7 hours. The game servers are a given for that kind of maint but THE VIEWER?!

Yellow Mage · 01-13-2009, 04:38 PM

additional to this tweak, there was also some hardware instaltion done to the servers.

I never said "boo hoo it's not easy as hell anymore"
I said, "WTF I never got any good drops anyway, in nearly 60 Maze runs, so now they made those mythical drops even RARER?!?!!?"

Meaning I never saw one, in 60 runs, how rare do they intend them to be?

Balfree · 01-14-2009, 09:57 AM

Rare enough to make MMM worthless maybe?

Armando · 01-14-2009, 10:42 AM

Mauva - where does it say they're making things rarer? They said the drop rates are being adjusted. Unless every dictionary in the planet is wrong, that just means they're changing the drop rates, and that could mean an increase just as much as it could mean a decrease.

Hyrist · 01-14-2009, 10:56 AM

In either case, Moblin Maze Mongers is still too way farkin new for me to care much about it ether way. Adjusting it before I make a judgment call just caulks it up as just another thing SE overlooked and had to patch after the fact.

With something this gigantic (potentially) I wouldn't be surprised if there's lots and lots of 'adjustments' to be have with various things like drop rates and combination effects and what not.

Wouldn't be surprised that some of the gear and item drops are dependent on what level you show up as, to get people to level sync with lowbies more. With near-everyone approaching this at 75, if the drop rate is set up that way, it's no surprise that people are getting nothing.
