Stats cap are :

94 for body/legs
58 for head/hands/feet
44 for belt + accesories

This is maxed, can get anything from 0 stat (not showing) to the max here. Although there might be a minimun, never saw a piece with a single digit on them, so probably can be 0 then if not it start at 10 I think.

We know the single caps, but what about the other 4 slots. Can you get a 94 Det,Pie,SS,Crit body? The assumption was high,med,med,low were the slot caps.

Does it make it any better if I actually main SCH and will actually use it?

Yeah, I more meant whether or not there is an overall limit on the number of secondaries available. Doesn't seem like there is.

The dream is dead.

Welp; thanks Yoshi. I didn't want better gear anyway.

[Rocl]

I couldn't get accuracy anyways so now you all have to deal with shit drops too =)

First impression: this is pretty bad. 2 gold coffers with a 7-man party at dino island at a seemingly normal pace/# of people at dino island.

They probably want people to split their parties up, then make the call when the * rank spawns.

Yeah probably. I went in with the idea that the best first way to test the change is to do what you did before and check the change in results. Establish a comparison then try different methods.

Should try out Triceratops Island if possible. Been getting 12+ NMs/gold there consistently before the change.

Just split between the two. They are a short distance from each other so you can go if a star mob is called.

Except that if a star is called and you arent already there, its usually dead by the time you get to it, Lol. Or at least that has been 99% of my diadem experience.

I was talking about a scenario post patch where groups split up to get their "Fresh Tracks" counter up quicker, so less DPS is on the star rank initially. If the majority of groups are split up, then there should be enough time for groups to get there.

The problem is that isn't going to happen with non premades, and its still going to be slower than what it used to be anyway, and probably going to be as boring.

I did a couple Diadems like that pre-patch where a couple groups split off to Dino Island since parties weren't getting credit on Triceratop Island (we need to rename Dino Island for real....). We ran into the issue where one island of people couldn't fly to the other due to fighting a pack of mobs so it wasn't really smooth.

That is a good point - you could be stuck fighting a pack of mobs and not get there soon enough. I like this idea that was posted in another thread:

Really wouldn't give a fuck less about much more uncommon 210s if the event was actually meaningful. Make the objectives more valuable and reward people more richly for completing them, have them refresh when you complete them, etc.. Even Dynamis had more depth and that's sad as fuck.

This is my biggest gripe with it. I lost interest pretty fast,struggling to get people to do the objectives, and when they do, it's over pretty fast. There should be rewards more directly linked to objectives, with constantly new objectives coming in as you do stuff, the farming being a "good" bi-effect of completing these objectives. Make it more goal-objective oriented, rather than purely trashkilling. Spawn items, maybe pop-items upon completion of goal tiers (say 5 goals gives pop item for a special NM, maybe something znm'ish?), add significant incentive to do goals and keep them coming. Put them on a rotation, if you have a couple of gatherers, have a reason to send them out to gather, but also a reason to come back on combat after they're done (such as upon completion of a gathering goal, replace the gathering objective with something to with the gathered stuff => something combat related).

It's all going to be a massive grind anyway, but let us at least _pretend_ to have some diversity.

Just ran a diadem HM post patch... wasnt pretty. People were bickering they didnt want to group up "cause patch notes" and "Yoshi P said not to group" and so we ended up killin one NM in 90m....

/RIP DIADEM.

THANKS YOSHI

Shit event with great drops at a decent clip 10-15 per 90 minutes was tolerable.

Shit event with great drops at a low rate will not end well for Yoshi.
