pumpkin pie · May 24, 2008, 06:10 AM // 06:10

blah! purple,! i get whites all whites and crappy iboga petals.

i think i'll think of this as my very disappointing vanquishing weekend

Mad King Corn · May 24, 2008, 06:41 AM // 06:41

Slightly over 4 hours and one lockpick! Unbelievable!

KZaske · May 24, 2008, 07:09 AM // 07:09

I get more lockpick drops without the triple drop rate. What is going on? Did they reduce the drop rate instead of increasing it?

Onyx Blindbow · May 24, 2008, 07:11 AM // 07:11

done the vaettir HM and rezoned 4 times this morning, 2 lockpicks lol

triple drops is probably about right 0.000001% drop chance x 3 = crap weekend

maybe if they made it x 3000 u may see more than 1 lockpick an hour

Gen Saver · May 24, 2008, 07:21 AM // 07:21

7 lockpicks in about 2 hours & 50 minutes of farming, i'm not complaining

Ranger of the abyss · May 24, 2008, 07:32 AM // 07:32

in 2 hours of uw i got 8 lockpicks last night so im not complaining either!

FengShuiDove · May 24, 2008, 07:52 AM // 07:52

Well I got pissed off with Raptors in both Normal and Hard Mode so went to farm Fissure beach HM. No lockpicks but 3 Obby Shards and a max gold r10 15^50 old school Shadow Bow.

So... better than a couple lockpicks I suppose.

Pleikki · May 24, 2008, 07:59 AM // 07:59

mm Meh Farming picks is waste of time i just farm lucky/unlucky. soon 100picks used allready

4thVariety · May 24, 2008, 08:12 AM // 08:12

Playing hard mode without trying to farm something, my drops are now three times the nothing they were before. I guess you really have to be a highly specialized lockpick farmer to notice a difference.

Garsty · May 24, 2008, 09:24 AM // 09:24

While farming on Thurs I got 2 lockpicks since they have tripled the drop rate ive got none.

roguey · May 24, 2008, 09:48 AM // 09:48

what a bad weekend event! only had 1 lockpick drop (probably would have got without the so called x3).

Ive also noticed that in the past day or so, nearly every one of my lockpicks breaks. I had like 4/5 in a row break on me on the first time. I used to open a few chests before breaking my lockpicks.

Pleikki · May 24, 2008, 10:13 AM // 10:13

Mm Opened 100picks now sofar in hardmode with 28% retain rate.
Retained 36 times so i opened 136 chests

got
13 Elite tomes
8 Normal tomes
41 purples and 72 golds :P and Most important 5k Unlucky and 18k Lucky points. tomorrow another 100picks i guess

BlackSephir · May 24, 2008, 10:17 AM // 10:17

Not complaining. It's not exactly raining with lockpicks but from their rate I can see that it's been increased,

obsidian ectoplasm · May 24, 2008, 10:28 AM // 10:28

Well GG Anet for making a bad weekend for most of us....MAKE A GOOD ONE NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DOUBLE ECTO DROP RATE!!!!! lol GG GW economy

make double glad or HB

Phoenix Tears · May 24, 2008, 10:29 AM // 10:29

I personally see no increase in the drop rate, the double poitns for unluckyx/lucky work, but the drop rate for picks sucks as if it wouldn't work correctly.

There you have now really the feeling, that alot more picks dropped, before the event started, than now while the event is running...

Before the event, I farmed frost wurms in hardmode for example and every 5th run statistically or so a pick dropped for me for sure. Now I do countless of runs still in HM and get NO SINGLE pick.
Thats just weird, as if really the rate got decreased instead of increased oO

I hoped really for a real difference in droppign picks to see and feel, but it doesn't happen and this lets this event suck for me and I'm sure for many other people it still sucks alot too, people which farm countless runs even at much better farm spots *cough* raptors, those poor ones *cough* and still get after x runs even there no single pick, makes this whole event suspicious, as if it would be a little bugged und not working correctly

Steboy93 · May 24, 2008, 03:18 PM // 15:18

I'm just sitting here hoping that the pick price doesn't fall, if it does i'll be gutted

Yep this type of weekend is the worst of them all. You farm and farm and farm and I get MORE KEYS the OLD way than I ever do on these triple weekends. I'd rather have triple drop GREENS cause at least I get a load of them. What a waste for a memorial day weekend.

The lockpick price won't fall, mainly because the lockpicks themselves aren't falling.
