Curse

In the last 3 dungeons I did all I got from dungeon chest was diamonds, now I'm not talking about some "weak" dungeons, I and talking about Catacombs of Kathandrax, Rragar's Menagerie, and Raven's Point so I really don't want to spend an hour and a half in them to get a diamond, not to mention that last two runs in Slavers' Exile also gave me a diamond from Duncan's chest.
Personally I would rather get a req. 13 gold weapon then diamond, it would at least add one point to Wisdom title track

Umm..sell the diamond to the merchant, buy un'ided golds at 1k each and id them. That makes what, 3-4 points to wisdom?

I don't think the droprate needs to be touched. Period. It's good as it stands, and seems to work. However, please don't whine about getting diamonds. They're diamonds, save them, and Onyx and get yourself a pretty destroyer weapon.

It's more like 1.4 points because diamond is 1.4k now and going down.

I'd much rather a Diamond than yet another ghetto wand or staff. At least it's worth selling. Don't get me wrong, I still think that a 1.5k diamond being your reward for completing a 1 hour dungeon is crap in itself, but it's just "less crappy" than your typical req 13 fast casting wand.

There are also pretty destroyer weapons? Surely you jest?

Four Frostmaw runs, 7 diamonds and a gold cleaver. I would very much love less of those little crappers. Greens please <3

Ahaha, pretty destroyer weapons. Right.

so many things wrong with that post I don't know where to start.

don't think droprate needs to be touched? So the grinders on for 10 hours a day have the only real chance of getting max gold rare skin items that can be sold for 100k+?

Fk that.

I'm going to step out of character here. And I'm going to tell you, that you are wrong. Drop rate needs no change, and this deserves no discussion, after all, ecto is just as easy to get. Whine about something else, plz.

A11Eur0 · Sep 20, 2007, 04:38 AM // 04:38

I'm wrong? I'm wrong that I haven't gotten a single rare skin weapon drop at all? I'm wrong that half the hidden treasures give me jack squat? I'm wrong that every end chest besides the one time I beat Murakai, I get 13 req gold wands with energy +5 when hexed? The only rare gemstone I've gotten from anything in EOTN was a diamond...FROM A QUEST. Something that's hard coded in!

No wonder I keep going back to farming and title grinding elsewhere...this "expansion" is just no fun. The gameplay sucks with the AI, I know the story already, and there's no rewards from doing the dungeons that are grossly overpowered unless you have nightfall heroes and can load up on SF eles.

blue.rellik · Sep 20, 2007, 04:52 AM // 04:52

It's luck, I've got nothing but golds from diamonds. Not that I care, I appreciate the dungeon itself and finding hidden things with Light of Deldrimor

If you really feel that way...
Go here.

Diamonds have a rough 10% drop rate from end chests, as do Onyx. How low do you want it to be?

That seems way low, it's pretty rare that an end chest doesn't drop either an onyx or a diamond for me. I'd stick the droprate closer to 30-40% for diamonds.

deathbyone · Sep 20, 2007, 06:23 AM // 06:23

Ummm guys....did you forget what "Rare" means. In lowering the drop rate of diamonds you increase the drop rate of everything else. The drop rates are fine. If you increase the drop rate of these "Rare" golds, then they are not really rare anymore.

Folken ~oOo~ · Sep 20, 2007, 06:41 AM // 06:41

Diamonds are, yeah forever, but rare too for people who need those.
So if you drop a diamond and dont need it, use it as a trade value.

Yea! I love the Shield, Hammer and Sword and Axe. I also love the details on them, the way the lava lights movement and glares.

It is a pretty weapon...

I JUST WISH THEY MADE THE SWORD WITH LONGER BLADE other wise i love the weapon.

Edge Martinez · Sep 20, 2007, 07:20 AM // 07:20

Saying more greens and less diamonds is all fine and dandy... until you get Bogroot Focus. Then you're like, damn, what a brother gotta do to get some diamonds.

How about you....go to hell. I've been playing since GW was released over 2 years ago, I deserve to have my say in this conversation, especially since I've had my fair share of rare skin drops in prophecies and the short time I've had Factions. GWEN though....fails to impress. The drops are decidedly not up to snuff.

Is it just me, or are you seeing how far to the right you can make your writing go? Align to the LEFT!
