nef or bug - the vamps in the warren

OK - either this was a stealth nerf or a bug with last update.

I sometimes trap the vamps and thought stealers at the start of Urgoz Warren.

It's not the best farming place for me anymore - I have found other places that yield a lot more - but it was usually good for some steel salvaged from zodiacs.

Today I trapped several times and no drops.

I don't know why they would have nerfed this - it is no easier to farm there than most other places. It is no different than trap farming anywhere else in the game. And the Zodiacs aren't worth that much since the inscriptable ones came out anyway. And, anyway, I doubt there were more than half a dozen of us that trapped there on a regular basis.

but it was nice to go there when I only had a few minutes to play and pick up a little bit extra.

so, was this intentional or a bug?

In any case, I'm getting pretty tired of having to relearn the rules every time they have a new update.

Did you not notice the update two months ago?

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Game_updates/20070524

"Fixed an exploit where creatures successfully using suicide skills in Urgoz’s Warren still gave loot and experience."

no these are dying from traps - not suicide - I've been farming them off and on for the last several weeks.

They don't give drops AT ALL NOW, nor do they give experience (to be exploited by survivors). As Curse_You said, this was not "stealth" at all. It was in the update notes and happened 2 months ago to stop the abuse of this "farm".

SUICIDING didn't give drops/exp.
TRAPPING did give drops (exp?)

The OP is saying that they have now stopped giving drops when TRAPPING.

Reading is fun.

Well they managed to mess up the game rather badly with the updates on Tuesday.

Quick list

• The duration of Weapon Spells is bugged, the duration cannot be affected by Spawning Power after the update.
• Fast Casting no longer decreases Signet activation time.
• Vampirism no longer scales with Sunspear rank, and now does 10 life stealing independent of rank.

And there are some other weird things that they've apparently changed. This might just be a temporary bug.

Well I just found that the recharge time for Reaper's Mark is bugged. So check your recharge times on other skills. It seems that this past update bugged a shit load of stuff.

I DID READ. You are the one who doesn't understand. After that update, they stoped giving any loot, no matter how they were killed. This was DESIGNED THIS WAY to prevent easy farming of zodiac weapons. They stoped giving loot no matter how they died two months ago. Trapping farming didn't work with them either after the update. What you DON'T understand is what the OP is complaining about was nerfed months ago. You missed the boat to complain about your inability to use an exploit to farm nice weapons anymore.

That's not a bug.

This is definitely a nef.

Care to explain? It says it's recharge time is 15 seconds when it's supposed to be 12.

Ever heard of a stealth nerf? They also buffed Necrosis with the same update.

The reread the update, it states that if they SUICIDE (meaning they kill themselves not you killing them) they drop no loot & give no XP, if you can kill them before they suicide then you can get loot & XP. I know this for a fact because some warren groups I've been in try to kill the suicides before they can kill themselves & when successful we've gotten drops. know what you are talking about before you make a fool of yourself.

/agree

some people are just retarded im afraid

i like Ninja Nerfed better

Level 10 enemies shouldn't have been dropping prestige weapons in the first place.
I'm assuming this is a fix to something that was never intended.

Sorry, dude, but you didn't. Check the update again.
