Test Server Findings

[Atoreis]

For SD drk can equip full jse and kubira bead neck, pop diabolic eye and it could make a normal mobs hit provide a larger boost if doing something like woe and are fighting the smaller mobs

Also equip -HP gear I'm screwed as Galka with hp 12/12 :D

Because you know what's in flux 8-14.

It's a dumb idea regardless.

[Colenzo]

I don't see how its dumb. Looks pretty awesome to me.

But dude, Once every 20, 30, 50 runs or so, Someone somewhere on some server might accomplish something in less time than it took someone else.

The game is fucking over man.

[ronin sparthos]

Did you guys get the droprates direct from SE to draw conclusions that they'll be rare? At this rate, I expect Voidwatch/Dynamis to be giving out brews by the Jan/Feb patch.

[Julian]

Eh.

I think it's a pretty neat idea, as long as like, it only shows up once around every 7~10 runs or so. (If even that often)

Did you get the drop rates to draw the conclusion they'll be common?

Do you even know they'll be in the new rooms?

Is it possible They'll be exclusive to the older confluxes?

Just saying, We're running in fear of the sky falling a bit prematurely. If its only available in the older confluxes.. Who really cares? you could 3-4 Man most of them at 90, by 99 They'll probably be Trio-able. some less.

If they appear in the new fluxes, I'll probably share your "wtf easy button" sentiments, right now, we know nothing outside of a single screenshot of a brew that dropped so late in a run they couldn't even use it properly before timing out. Lets wait out for a bit more confirmation on this.

Also remember some of the better brewers aren't the best in WoE. And brews loss alot without atmas to boost there dmg by 40- 92% lol. And I'm sure we all have stories of some ls without good atmas or good brew ws going out and wasting 3 brews on 1 mob

[Neisan]

6+ if it's a Rani!

Im not making claims moreso just voicing my general annoyance with the easy button being taken outside Abyssea. Sure, it's possible that these are 1-7 exclusives but it's also possible that it could be a random handout across WoE. They did just add perma-RR afterall and that's 1/2 the golden combo that makes Abyssea what it is today - a RR zombiefest topped off with brews.

I'll be more than happy to fall on my sword if it turns out im wrong but SE loves their extremes. First it was years of virtual fuckyous and now we're moving towards the opposite extreme of Oprah giveaways.

Omg I think I'd die of laughter. Seriously should be more like 6+ ranis for a brew if you know what your doing. Hell last 1 I solo'd I wait till 30 sec left of brew to kill to get more th in after blue. Forgetting of course that my alt that is only going to be whm didn't need epona's ring lol.

I'm kinda happy for since hopefully it will encourage more people to get WoE weapons leaving empyrean super camped crap more open

I don't mind brews too much, But i would be rather, irked if they moved out of Abyssea. They made sense in Abyssea because of the lore created around it, moving it outside of Abyssea would simply raise questions... Walk of Echoes void or not.

However, I do more than see where your concerns come from. I'm okay with toning down content to be a bit more casual friendly, But putting what is essentially the equivalent to a 99lives/maxstats cheat from old games into several events... IDK

Only solace i can offer is that it'd be random,and thusly, cannot be purchased on the fly by nubs >_>?

[Byrthnoth]

It kind of makes sense to have Brews drop in Walk of Echoes. It just means that even if you're solo you'll get to win a chamber sometimes.

A wizard did it.

[ronin sparthos]

Odin did it.

[Fievel]

Maybe, but a wizard made him.

Therefor, a wizard did it.

[Septimus]

The only sad thing about Brews in WoE is that it didn't come before when the people who did the most damage got extra chests.

Because imagine how much fun it would be to pop a Brew on WHM or BRD and finally get to be the top dog point-wise. It would be some sort of karmic thing.

[NynJa]

Brews could be random..means nothing atm. U dont keep temps in woe either so its not like u can hold n use next time.

sorry, wrote this from my phone, and I hate writing long messages.
