You've been busy, I like it!

27 Million dropped in the Mystic Caves for a grand total of THREE Unforgiven Queen drops. Thank heavens 2 of them were perfect cuirass and perfect rune.

 

18 Millions dropped in the Ancient Caves for 6 pieces of the 4550 set. 5 bowls and 1 robes - none perfect.

The caves need decluttering - there's WAY TOO MUCH rubbish in there these days

But I thought that's what everybody's been clamoring for the last few years.  All I've read is that drop rates are way too high and new gear floods the game much too quickly.  Apparently, the cows were listening and adjusted the drop rates accordingly so everybody should be happy now that they've gotten exactly what they asked for.

In before this topic is deleted   I haven't payed into this game for years so no special chests for me.  Are some pvp buffs overpowered in my opinion?  Yes.  Does that make it impossible for me to win against someone using them?  Nope, just have to work a little harder.  Maybe I'm just more stubborn than most but if I want to win against someone, even if it's just to prove a point, I'll keep working at it until I do regardless of how many losses I take in the process.  Without naming names, some people bring things on themselves so my advice is to keep your mouth shut but that seems a bit late in this situation. 

I just had another thought towards the map shops. There could be high-priced but relevant potions made available. Instant stamina, but consuming reduces the armor by x amount.

  You can already buy all the instant stamina you want in the Upgrades area.

EOC stands for End Of Content.  Currently, the last level of content is 4800 so players at 4800 or above are at EOC, not anything below that.  Sorry I have to spell it out but it seems you don't understand this most basic of concepts.

for many years pre 2020 double xp would been last weekend. idk why everything so delayed now days.

Perhaps it's just to irritate the people that say an event was at this time before therefore it must always be at this time forevermore.

why is there no composing or take relics as dailies

  Relic taking as a daily isn't feasible.  You need open slots for them to take relics.  Since most guilds only have enough slots for the relics they want to keep all the time, someone has to take their regular relic first, then they could take a relic for a daily, someone has to take that one back, then they take another relic, somebody else takes it back.  Multiply that times whatever is required for the daily.  If even 3 people in a large guild get the same daily (as happens with others), it would be impossible for them to complete it since the actual logistics involved just aren't practical.

Why does it just have to be stam gain?  There are a lot of relics that could use updates to improve hunting and/or pvp stats to make them more desirable without adding stam gain to every relic.  Not every relic needs an update and some should be removed as others are updated.  There are currently a lot of relics that have never been captured (currently 11 just on the first page of relic control).  Start by removing most of those and add better stats to the ones you leave, especially in the lower realms.  Stam gain should continue to be the exception, not the rule, but that doesn't mean other relics can't be worthwhile for other reasons.

  A longer quest line is fine but NOT if it involves a lot of very expensive inventing.  Needing to buy multiple items at 1.5 million gold each only to have the invent fail and items lost is not fun for anyone.  Purchased items shouldn't be super expensive, should be bound and shouldn't be lost on an invent fail (or just make it 100% invent rate).  Dropped items can be difficult to obtain, don't need to be bound and can be lost on failed invents.  Just keep in mind the difficulty in obtaining the item when setting the invent rate.

Rather than a numerical list which would imply one being more important than another, I will list my choices in alphabetical order.

Clarechiu - Always helpful, supportive and generous - even long after I joined another guild.

Maehdros - Helped me get my start in pvp and especially in gold hitting.  I finally passed my Gloves of Mar on to another.

Mzzery - If you know her, no explanation is needed.  Super selfless and always the life of the party.

Good to hear.... I'm still getting this more often than not:

 

504 Gateway Time-out

The server didn't respond in time.

  Look on the bright side, things are progressing.  We started out at 502 gateway error and now we're all the way up to 504 errors.  Next thing you know we'll be hitting 510......lol

Relic captures and pvp combats just get the spinning wheel of no return.  Just have to stop the page from loading and go to something else to see the results.

  You can no longer invent more items than you have backpack space for.  This isn't very convenient when you are trying to invent a lot of items and want to deal with them all at once when you are finished.

  Any progress on increasing the 256 character limit on messages?  I just tried to send a 3 sentence message and was notified it was over the limit.  Seriously?  I know HCS changes servers a lot but are you paying by the word now?  I can't even give another player a decent explanation of game mechanics with the current limit, how are new players supposed to learn if all the current players won't even bother trying to help because they have to split their messages into segments so small it's not worth the effort? (<= 419 characters without spaces, 515 with spaces)
