I believe the event didnt start yet, correct me if I'm wrong.

Tutis Evito · May 23, 2008, 08:56 PM // 20:56

it doesnt look like its started, or working correctly, I didnt think lockpicks where classed as extermly rare to begin with.

Ive done multiple raptor runs, and also tried snowman lair runs with no luck.

Either i am unlucky or it hasnt started.

Im guessing a new build wouldnt be required as it would be a streamed / stealth update

Triple Pick doesn't mean it will drop like like a special weekend event, remember that pick drop rates are bad without the triple weekend.

I believe that I have said 3x0=0 somewhere already...

Like with all events it should be server side, meaning it should activate at the designated time without any further updating from the client.

I can confirm that it has started though because I got 500 lucky points for retaining a pick. However maybe the drop rate part isn't working correctly?

izzywish · May 23, 2008, 10:44 PM // 22:44

Aye, just did some wall scraping in GWEN nm, made a good few K on lucky and and can confirm it was 500 for a keep; didn't get 1 pick from 4 areas, so either we are all very unlucky or they forgot to up the drop rate

Polgara Val · May 23, 2008, 11:06 PM // 23:06

Still nothing, maybe they will update it a bit later on

I know these usually begin at a certain time but maybe this one is starting later than usual?

R.Shayne · May 24, 2008, 12:46 AM // 00:46

Working fine for me but have terrible luck on keeping my picks, I have a 55% chance of keeping it but I am averaging 38%.

Incandecree · May 24, 2008, 12:47 AM // 00:47

I know it started at noon Pacific time. I was getting double lucky and unlucky points. I know it is just a string of bad lucky but I have a 71% retention rate outside of Boreal Station and had 7 retains out of 25, far less than 71%.

My Lockpicks drop rate was higher before the weekend event started, it currently sets at 0 drop rate after this event has started. It's always the same with these events that have a double to triple drops it always ends up zero then to drop rate blows after the event is over.

Axagoth Baal · May 24, 2008, 01:26 AM // 01:26

I got lots of lockpicks today...

kvndoom · May 24, 2008, 01:30 AM // 01:30

Cleared Plains of Jarin solo. 207 enemies killed, 1 lockpick. Screw this, I'm gonna work on leveling my PVE Assassin so I can do some Shadow Form pillaging.

Sounds like a fun even that I could have made a few bucks on. Ah well. too bad I'm on strike til the hack problem is resolved. Gl to all, I'm gonna go finish missions in gta4.

tuna-fish_sushi · May 24, 2008, 04:14 AM // 04:14

ive gotten about 9 lockpicks so far mostly from grasping in UW they seem to drop alot more often for me

masta_yoda · May 24, 2008, 04:28 AM // 04:28

rofl did like 100 vermin zones , atleast 1500 vermins slain only 3 lockpicks

**cosyfiep** · May 24, 2008, 05:34 AM // 05:34

no lockpicks, but not expecting to get any since (as its been said already) 3 x 0 = 0
however, I did get a key to drop when I was running thru mapping in the elona reach!

pumpkin pie · May 24, 2008, 05:41 AM // 05:41

erm, obviously this is a hoax. Just got the reminder to stop playing cos its been 3 hours since i log in and NOTHING. also not getting any unlucky point for not getting any lockpick as well.

extra note: drops are worse then normal as well in Hard Mode

this weekend sucks!
