General Update Changes (May-09-11)

[Toth]

Today' s update has happened. My above post was in response to today's automaton buff.

[scaevola]

Alright, so it might be safe to say the update's happened and the new drop NMs are available. Might be worth checking some of the other Visions NMs that have atma to start with; stuff like Raskovnik or Adze.

[NynJa]

Huh. Just seemed like Ovni was a weird choice for a +2 mob. FWIW, I killed Executioner in Vunkerl the other day and didn't get any +2s, so I guess my huge sample size of one kills your little theory right there

Seriously though, Ovni could just be the fourth LTP NM to give +2 items, bringing the zone in line with the others.

EDIT: wait wait wasn't there somebody on this page commenting on post-update Armor Shatterer numbers?

You know, if you're going to come off as a condescending cunt, you should maybe check all your sources before you make yourself look like a complete fucking retard.

"Empyrean upgrade items can now be obtained from certain notorious monsters."

So your huge sample size of one from "the other day" is void because this was changed this morning.

[02:00:06EDT]----== SystemMessage ==----On May 13, 2011 from 1:00 to 3:00 (PDT)/ 8:00 to 10:00 (GMT), we will be performing an emergency maintenance on all Worlds.
[02:00:07EDT]----== SystemMessage ==----See the Information section for more details.

Misareaux, Attohwa, and Vunkerl caturae have not had their drops changed, fought Kutharei last night and had normal drops. I would expect Iratham to drop +2s, though.

You too, your kills were probably pre-change.

[Hanyoko]

Gave it a try, even with rebooting XI. Also ran a file check (which turned up nothing wrong) and am still getting stuck. Gonna have to call and see whats going on.

You can always try using a different DNS host. I recommend using OpenDNS:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

[scaevola]

it's almost like i was making a joke and included helpful italics to spell it out for you

Anyway, I was responding to Juxtaposition and took his claim the update hadn't happened yet at face value, because I'm at work and have no way of checking myself (and, as you could probably guess, was not up at 2 AM to see a system message!).

[NynJa]

And I'm sure others will agree with my statement

[Nightfyre]

And I'm sure others will agree with my statement

nah

[Chun Liroy]

And I'm sure others will agree with my statement

Nope, you're just retarded. It was pretty obvious.

[NynJa]

Really, I'm the retarded one, and it was obvious?

Seriously though, Ovni could just be the fourth LTP NM to give +2 items, bringing the zone in line with the others.

I guess his obvious sarcasm completely ignored the fact, that as Jornna said, there was already a known list of the 4 NM's in LTP that were dropping +2 items.

But nice try...

[Therin]

So, that guy who got the Accursed Belt - any information on it yet?

The parts in italics was sarcasm (his huge sample size), the second part he just wasn't aware of (especially since he said could, not knowing about the others). Normally when someone says "seriously though," there was a preceding joke, that apparently flew over your head with the sound of a tornado, retard.

[NynJa]

Of course, just like because he's at work he cant tell when a patch took place, yet he can post on these message boards...
seriously though, yup.

[Chun Liroy]

Yup, it's entirely impossible for someone to post something without reading any info regarding it. You should take off your tinfoil hat and jump off your high horse just because you got majorly wooshed. Seriously though, It's not a good look.

less raging about an exchange a healthy person would have already forgotten, more going out and finding out which NMs now drop +2s so I don't have to

[NynJa]

This conversation

Is over.

[Chun Liroy]

Sure is retarded mad.

[Malacite]

So... time to run around hitting yellow on every old NM?


Also, wtf is up with Mangy-Tailed Marvin already - claimed & gotten blue !! at least 8 times now and still no fucking WHM cape. Seen plenty of other job's AF3 necks drop though from the other NMs.

[NynJa]

yup, pissed, mad, fuming
seriously though, beyond enraged.

Gonna go get shit done instead of dealing with scrubs who dont know shit

If I'm "retarded mad", I guess the above is my rendition of you. hahahaha


Try bringing a thief? Blue isnt guaranteed...but neither is TH...and when their powers combine...

[Juxtaposition]

Sorry, I saw that SE said "May 13, 2011 from 1:00 to 3:00 (PDT)" for Emergency Maintenance and I immediately thought it would be PM instead of AM. You know, dicking the NAs and all.

I mean, heh, got all you guys riled up, idiots. :smug:

I blue+TH'd that rabbit ~10 times, no drop. I had someone else come thf instead of me, got it to drop with no blue and not much build-up of TH. Just adds to "My TH sucks ass" joke between me and the WHM friend I was trying to get the back for. Random shit is random, kill moar, etc.
