cheers grim shame this didnt happen couple weeks ago when the stuff was worth getting

I agree, its a little late, but improvements are better than no improvements. It is very discouraging to spend millions and get no LE drops. Rare is okay, nearly impossible to get isn't.

As for the LE selection, I don't think either one has been released in awhile, but the LEs weren't worth much before the event. so probably not scavenged too much, except for the Tarbidas Shield since its used to make Acherons.

lol no they wasnt you could buy the spider set for 15 fsp and that was counting 12 for the shield which was forged and it was 7 fsp for a fury bourne set so no incentive at all to scavenge also couldnt find either of theses two requested in an le listing

It makes sense though that they would release less valuable LE's to test the new drop rate, rather than releasing ones that are worth more and the market being flooded.

That is because nobody did. Enough gold was sunk last week, so these crappy ones were a good choice until our banks get refilled. :wink:

Gold Sink? How about some gear sink? if you look at the last 1-2 years, they have 5-7x the amount of sets. that is a bit much. My suggestion would be to add less sets and do something with the ones we already have.

composing was a good idea but perhaps build on that even more.

Thought I would switch up the conversation a bit, since everyone just wants to grill BG for making 4x drop rate on less than desirable LEs.

Agreed - there are way too many sets in the game now - they shouldn't be being added so frequently. But, the cows have to make a living - and that living is "ensured" by creating new, "must-have" sets that create donations for them.

As for older sets, a lot of them are still efficient hunting sets. OK, they're not as good as the newer ones, but the likes of Mancrusha, Deep and Rune of Decay still work just fine ... and, given the new sets, are cheap as chips now.

All that being said, composing could revitalise the game - but we'll have to wait and see how (and IF/WHEN) it's actually implemented before bringing in a verdict on that ...

As long as u can find FF LE items that sell at 1 fsp (and is costs 10 fsp + gold to get them FF ) i see no use in old LE on maps .... ... and regarding new LE on maps .... after people spent hundreds of mil gold to get them .... it will be an offense to those players ... just my opinion




best time for LE on maps will be after the Composing option is implemented so that we will haw lots of items to use for inventing potions

Well, you see I disagree to this being an improvement.

I know the whole of FS is supposed to be able to get ALL the items, potions, buffs, what have you, to then not play much because there is no incentive to work at getting anything.

I was under the impression HCS was trying to get people interested to playing the game again. I don't see there being much point in trying to bring back old players, when they left a lively game with people working hard to get things that had a value, (as well as working at PvP that was worthy of the name).

For those of us who scavenged the last new LE, the value of the items reflect a reasonable investment, with the low droprate, and constituted a very good goldsink, which was to the advantage of everyone.

3 sets, for about 140M gold, and a potion, although obviously an investment not something everyone could do, is still providing high quality items, and I think there is no reason why some items can't keep a little bit of an 'exclusive' value to them, something that has become rare in this 1-hit everywhere for everyone kind of game.

if we are going to see these items in a general LE event with high droprate any time soon, it will make even more people disinclined to take any risks going for something exclusive.

+1 to boeffie

I'm actually pretty surprised to have seen some thoughtful, productive comments this time around.

My comments tend to be cynical jabs at the real "game problem" which is simply the "I want" factor in this game. They aren't meant to change anybody's mind, but to simply provide a laugh for those that actually read and think about things... and are extremely tired of hearing players complain without thinking. And so it goes....

I've said time and time again that wanting LEs in the realms is a valid point, but it is something that has NOTHING to do with the scavenging caves. boeffie makes a really nice comment on why the recent 1600 items should NOT now go to the realms.

In any case... fine, you want LEs in the realms. That's great... the real question is: do you ALSO want them out of the caves? I think not... unless you have no understanding of the concept of a gold sink. Monkey's paw to everybody... be careful what you wish for.

PS... I had lots of smirks at a large portions of comments after my first post on page one. The never-ending paradox....

But the LE are more then just a gold sink. Gear that slowly disappears as it get destroyed or sits in backpack from players that are leaving. Nobody in his right mind will destroy that new set of the LE1600 that just came out, and the price of the set will highlight that its extreme rare. But lots of older LE sets could use a new influx. Restricting it to the caves just make it for rich people only, and thats not the way I want to see this game going.

[BigGrim]

Are all LE cave events going to have 4x FI rate now?

See how it goes and decide off that?

All of them but we'll see how this drop rate does.

Hi there Everyone.

The Legendaries have once again fled from the caves. How long until they return?
