Blackeye, if you'd like some solid info just shoot me a PM, i have ironman'd both maps now and have it quite down. Also, check out my new statuette in the trade forum!
After all the hard work the staff put in here day after day, week after week, month after month etc etc and yet people still throw the toys out of the pram over a few pixels, dat trammel. Yet there are posts like this http://uorforum.com/threads/trammel-outfits.9884/ If you posted in here and complained about trammy pixels then you are a hypocrite. I agree they look out of place but then so do linked houses in my opinion and all those almost-neon event sandals, masks, character statues etc but I don't whine and blub like a spoilt brat who has lost his fav toy. Yes to constructive criticism but a big NO to child like whining; I think they look a bit too big and need their hue toning down a little.
If you honestly can't see the difference between "existing items in a new color" and "totally new items", the world must be a harsh and confusing place. What are you guys so fired up about? I just looked back and the thread is a bunch of people saying "eh, they look kinda weird IMO". Seemed pretty civil to me.
@Jupiter should get one of those for the crystal maiden. That'd make a sweet center piece in her pond!
So far the things most concerning to me are the drop rates for the supposed "rare" drops. I mean these maps have only been run a handful of times and already there are 3 of these crystals everyone is crying about, at least 2, possibly 3 "stings" (rare hued sword) and one boss statuette. Seems like the drop rates need to be looked at.
I feel like the concept of these crystals came from The Realm (old online game) Here's a pic http://www.oneluckybug.com/Realm/graphics/starfuryhouse.jpg This brought me back.. way back lol
Sounds like, "I've got mine, now let's control the flow." Lol All kidding aside, it seems like a lot was overlooked. Drop rates seem extremely high, unintentional green weapons, alien crystals, etc.
That might be a semi valid point, if I actually had any of those items. Since I dont, I'll just suggest to wrap your tinfoil a little tighter.
I've talked to @Chris about drop rates in the past, and he explained that when there is a small number of iterations, weird things can happen. In the long run, I'm sure these rares will become truly rare because their frequency will decrease dramatically as the attempts/completions/kills grow.
The elemental instance is down because Telamon needs to fix the regioning. Doesn't have anything to do with the rares, or this weird thread.
