About bloody time. Wish I'd farmed as much as everyone else did, I only have about 30 to cash in on.

Meh. At least I can still overcharge for south shiverpeaks runs

Why when you can just do the missions and it is free and it adds to your title.

I don't mind the change to SF maybe it should be 40% but I don't like the change to The UW as to those who would like to get a party of 8 together and explore it.

Kerwyn Nasilan · Jul 02, 2008, 09:32 PM // 21:32

Well I just logged into GW and it says nothing in the skill discription about -50% damage, is this fake or skill not updated yet?

Yup

Terra-Tanks are effected too, but I dont think it will have too big an impact on UW clear groups because they'll just send in the clowns...err, Ursans...to clean out that area, allowing the Terra-tanks to go clear pools, pits, etc...

You talking about Ursan not being nerfed?

if so, then its because Ursan only makes the entire game rediculiously easy IF you have an entire group of ursans, one ursan with H/H does not make the game easy because it still requires thought (ie flagging heroes when needed, making builds, etc)

SF makes SOLO (the key word, solo) farming EXTREMELY easy, if SF farming required an entire group, it probably wouldn't have been nerfed so soon (if at all)

(just my opinion anyway)

SerenitySilverstar · Jul 02, 2008, 09:35 PM // 21:35

Maverick - one problem at a time.

Hmm, this is going to take some creative thinking. I don't farm for the sake of "OMG moar ectoz plx!" (no, not everyone wants Obsidian armour or Chaos gloves ya know). I simply farm for a little cash.

Ah well, the GW Mantra - move on and adapt.

The previous SF buff was clearly to make farm easier and to directly devalue existing holdings. That's a targetted change directed to a specific group of players revolving around commodity pricing. While one camp might not have argued for SF specifically, they've always wanted get-rich-quick.

Ultimately, my point is that you can't argue that nerfs are just to "appease the QQers", but buffs are not. Clearly, both nerfs and buffs are made to appease somebody.

Lol ecto prices are sky rocketing now.

Well not sky rocketing....more like...Segwaying uphill

Jensy · Jul 02, 2008, 09:38 PM // 21:38

It's not fake, there just hasn't been a build yet. Give it time.

Yawgmoth · Jul 02, 2008, 09:38 PM // 21:38

pfffffffft lame

it's still imba and there are still tons of viable ways to farm with it after such a 'nerf'

they just saved the ectos and eternal blades

/meh

You're right. And I will be one of the first to start it up lol.

The Arching Healer · Jul 02, 2008, 09:41 PM // 21:41

Update isnt there yet so we got some time left to farm ecto's ^^ (oops, forgot that favor will run out pretty soon). Hmm WTT 2 zaishen keys for 1 ecto plz.

But it will impact the timing immensly and add 10-20 minutes or more to the time since the group will have to wait for the Ursans to clear Vale, Twin Serpents and Plains, or Ursans will have to clear Twin and Plains, then go back to vale

suprised that they went up so quickly in a short time, curious as to what they will stabilize at.

Going to go farm the Tombs then, may not be that much ectos in one run but I tend to get enough ectos to make some cash in a short time.

and if i want to farm UW, I'll just look for another farming build after the update has happened and learn it

Kerwyn Nasilan · Jul 02, 2008, 09:44 PM // 21:44

Ok, well I think that just the UW buff is enough, I personally liked farming Greens for heros/other toons on my ele (don't try and argue this is over powered) but oh well. Acually the best nerf would be to make Mindblades not drop ectos. Simple really.

Psyko · Jul 02, 2008, 09:46 PM // 21:46

i do agree that the whole SF, UW affair had to be nerfed in some way, but all this together seems a bit... extreme doesn't it?

granted we still have to see how these CRD spawns work, and even at 0 dom. magic on Mindblades in NM, that is the end of the >100 hp trick...

Rhamia Darigaz · Jul 02, 2008, 09:48 PM // 21:48

lol, over 300 people viewing this thread at time of post xD
imo forget about ectos, zkeys are where its at. cant be overfarmed and people will be needing them for quite some time.

What, they can't explore it anymore? Adding Sig of Disenchantment suddenly makes the area oh-so-harder?
Look out, now when there's a counter to enchants in UW others will cry. WAAAHmbulane inbound.

Lest121 · Jul 02, 2008, 09:50 PM // 21:50

Globs already at 4900g.............the QQers must be happy now.

optymind · Jul 02, 2008, 09:51 PM // 21:51

this nerf kills ALL SF farming builds... so gg. extreme update. just remove shadow form who is gonna use it? seriously.
