    You're going to be more disappointed when you realize Legion=WoE with only boss monsters and new gear/no chests.

    I think the event wasn't scaled perfectly, but has a decent tier system. While 20-40 might seem worthless to most of us, there are some mediocre players that might actually benefit from that gear, and some players that might be struggling to reach floor 40 and getting +1s.

    Then there are those of us fighting to reach floor 100, even though the feat is incredibly difficult. Many of us will fall short at floor 60 or 80. We'll get a slightly lower reward for our efforts. The best players, with a lot of luck, and dedication may eventually get the +5s, even if it's going to be unlikely and painful. This event is pretty difficult in a weird way, granted, I still say it'd be much easier if there wasn't the time limitations lol.

    Sometimes you get unlucky and go 0/30 on n.hands like me, or 0/300 for toci's like most. 99% of people won't get the +5s, but unlike Toci's, the full perle bst won't be the one getting it, because there's no way he was good enough to reach floor 100. The event may be insanely difficult due to the random number generator, and the best may fall short 99% of the time, but the worst of players, even with the best luck on ??? floors, will still never get the +5's that everyone is striving for, because even with a lot of luck, there is still no fucking way that guy is capable of completing 11+ floors and an HNM floor.

    So again, imo, this event isn't as bad as everyone is making it seem. It really is what some people were asking for, gear that isn't obtainable by the average player. But I have a huge boner for removing the time restrictions on all events, especially this one >=|

    The best players? Please. People already admitted openly that they'll be using Clipper to pass through walls and ApRadar to locate lamps. That cannot be considered "best" in any way, shape or form. Hopefully Nyzul bans of 2012 happen!

    I'm really enjoying this event, good teamwork really shows for this kind of thing. You can't fuck up at all, and obviously you need a good amount of luck too. This event pretty much fucks pickup groups though. Was able to get 60 twice in a row, would have probably been able to do 80 if people didn't die/order lamp floor.

    delicious tears.

    So far, the pics I've seen of people reaching Floor60/80 have been the same people that you would expect to rape this kind of content. Plenty of luck for sure and SE is lazy and fucktarded, but a good group is going to be able to farm this and shitty groups will not. At least for the love of fucking Cthululu I won't see retards running around with the shinies.

    Tears of what exactly? I've not been banned, and I've obtained all my salvage gear the hard way. However, I will not show remorse for those who cheated, and even claimed that the exploit was known to "those who deserved to know". They really did get what they deserved and I couldn't be happier about it and will take every opportunity to express it. If you cheat you need to be punished.

    You don't need clipper to get to high floors, but I'd say you need fillmore for sure.

    Nah, Remnants Permit is only 500 Assault Points now. One RvB would be enough for 3 runs, so even if you wanted to run Salvage almost daily you'd only need to sacrifice 2 tags a week.

    FTR, not a single pic posted has had GMtool activated and I've heard wizbot was down last night.

    People are saying that flee hacking and crap will really help in NI, and it's true. This is going to become a haven for flee hackers, no clipping modes, etc. You have 6 people and you're facing a very difficult objective. GMs are impotent and as long as no one in your group rats you out there is very little danger. It's going to turn into a flee-hacking circus.

    Still, afaik it hasn't yet.

    I feel like this is one silver lining, and will hopefully keep the rage in the gimp thread at bay for a while. Even the best groups can't carry a gimp through Nyzul as it stands now. If all 6 members aren't on the ball, 60+ will be a myth.

    Just leave your token idiot at the rune every floor. They can't fuck that up.... or can they?

    I would think that GMs might be watching new content for such activities, but that's just me giving them too much credit.

    Considering I GMed people for fleehacking, and was in viewing vicinity of said fleehacker while I was talking to a GM and nothing happened...I dont think SE gives a fuck anymore.

    That's what was said about Salvage, Nyzul I and Sandworm bans - that no one would be watching. Then SE napalmed a huge segment of endgame.

    I'm sure SE will be observing who gets the 100 drops as they are currently something only those with extreme luck and coordination will obtain but it goes without saying that the content is designed poorly when you need to Clipper or Fleetool to reasonably stand a chance at getting to the top. Plus we all know greed will kick in eventually and some group will try to sell 80 drops.

    40 will be the average groups goal, 60 for a skilled set of untooled players, 80 with some luck and/or tools, 100 if you strike gold and tool it to the win.

    Oh and I'm sure you can overshoot 100. This is SE we're talking about. Cleared Floor 95? Go up ??? floors and... welcome to floor 2. Thanks for playing.

    So you are basically defending a poorly designed system on the base that it encourages elitism? Bravo

    Well if the balance was a bit different and ppl reaching 80 would have reached 100. Might be a good play on skill. Kind of like how a Full Silversea clear was really nice to do back in the day when everyone knew their shit. Also the one time ppl killed EVERY mob in Arrapago in order to try and pop the Qiqirins lol

    I imagine if you took the current NeoNyzul and made it like 40minute timelimit the balance could be just about right.
