15k knights!? i really hope its not like 15k glads helm. This should be interesting lol.

So, does that lessen the chances of getting Golds when with a full party?

Hopefully not.

I wonder if they've done anything about the suicidal AI they also implemented yesterday. The armor bug is only part of the problem.

nice update.

My guess is 15k knights looks like the black trimmed set the guy is wearing in old ascalon.

I wonder who will be the FIRST person get the whole 15k Knight set and show off with pic here

What suicidal AI?

So, solo farming nerf is not that bad?

So, will the 15k Knights be the next 15k Primeval? ^^

thanks to Spawn!

Hardly even a nerf. Solo farmers will still get the same amount of gold items and ectos from before the HB update. They'll just have less junk whites and purples and less gold coins.

impulse buy

It doesn't look all that bad actually. But I won't get it.

I'm wondering the same thing......

So basically if you're soloing...

White/purple item drops... game rolls an 8 sided dice and if it lands on 1 you get it.

Item on that list drops... game rolls a 1 sided dice and if it lands on 1 you get it. Or if you're in a party of four the game rolls a 4 sided dice.

Something like that?

here's female 15k knight's undyed..

well at least it somewhat fixed hench, i wonder if they still stand around taking hits, cause so far thats all their doing in hm

The 15k looks like the same one you press to log-in.

Oh, and are Heroes and Henchies fixed?

Anet... You've continued business with a 2 year customer . I really appreciate the update. Thanks again.

Exactly, except you get all rare materials, dyes and greens etc. I tried 2 Uw runs there and got very gold and hardly any white trash (excuse the phrase).

Same as a couple of days ago but without the merchant-food which came to about 800g~ worth.
