[0.98] Cake vs. Pie

Why would anyone want to solo Zak at your levels though, other than for fun? The exp is horrible and the profit mediocre.

I solo zak for potions.

I don't really mind the system so long as they IMPROVE IT. 30 people per channel per SC is fine, but once the quota is filled they should make it so only the people on that list can run. Not only those people can solo. Also get rid of 30 minute drop timer. That was stupid to begin with regardless of how much it was hacked to death.

Trust me, all that would cause is controversy. We used to wake up after every SC/patch and fill it with mules until D/C hackers started popping up. It's not worth the trouble.

All the HT timer's gonna do is make it a living hell for all of GMS if Nexon doesn't fix the glitchy system. If they fix the system, then we're golden, otherwise expect the number of HT kills to drop dramatically =/

Nexon won't fix the glitchy system. I'm totally game for the number of HT kills dropping as that means the htps i'll be bringing in will be worth more ^_^.

Probably due to Hurricane vs Blast, which is a massive DPM difference already in itself, even not including SE lol

Entirely possible. I also have better gear. Do you have mw30? I stew when at zak because it's funny.

I minded the hackings. But they were essentially at cht. If they drop the timer of how long you have to be in the main cave to get reg ht drops, i'm game for that, just so long as they leave A drop timer at cht. I'd prefer they decreased it to 30 mins though.

Well, I can boss all day but I have a lot of difficulty actually grinding for even just a couple hours. More importantly, I help lowbies get free zhelms sometimes because i'd rather zak than grind, even with the exp difference. I consider zakking with some low level characters to be essentially soloing.

Shhhh, I solo random stuff for the sheer boredom. I still do Papu runs off and on for easy exp and Pinks / Powers D:

Yeah, I like the powers from zak too, used to be more that dropped though. Pap drops pink scrolls? o.O'''''''''

Plus what about when Chaos hits? Easy "Secret Mastery Books" and then there's the "Dark Angelic Ring" recipe.

Ahh yes, recipes will certainly draw more bossers, or at least add a new element to bossing that gives us bossers more money, which i'm all about lol.

They should just remove the entire goddamn system itself lol
I mean who the hell is gonna HT once Chaos hits and the books change to "Secret Mastery Books"?

Imo the whole Secret Mastery Book is a complete and total scam. Absolute garbage. Harder bosses SHOULD drop more valuable books. That makes sense! But killing a zak and having the potential to get mw30? That's garbage.

So, Fiel, there's really nothing good amongst the 600mb? Why is it so big then?

Fiel, there are apparently Strawberry and Blueberry Shoulders for 400 and 350 insignias respectively, do you know what the stats are on those?

The stats were posted in the gMST thread when it first re-opened, but I can't seem to find the thread anymore. I believe the 350 insignia one gives 3 W. Att, and the 400 insignia one gives 1 W. Att, though not 100% sure.

Unless their time-limitedness was changed I wouldn't care to get them anyway.

They fixed it.

Blueberry gives 1 watt and 1 to all stats I think, and Strawberry gives 3 to all stats and 2 watt.

For the thrill of fighting a big boss. Hell my guild runs 15 or so people in Zakum for the hell of it. Yeah it takes only 5 minutes or less but it's still fun to do. HT would be no different.

Still no m.atk so w.e.. Only reason for me to do this then is to simply kill time and nothing more.

They might still be time limited as well which doesn't make it even close to worth it.

Fail. That is all.

Looking for another comic on how we loathe and abhor Time-Limited event prizes, in particular if they're difficult to get.

So, Fiel, there's really nothing good amongst the 600mb? Why is it so big then?

LOL. NO WONDER WHY THE PATCH FILE IS SO BIG.

Nexon fails. I mean... really. Fails. It's beyond failure.

They included a file called Mob2.wz - completely NEW FILE. It's 680 MB which is zlib compressed at level 9. This means that the patch is over 300 - 400 MB higher than it needs to be.

From another thread

If those shoulders are time-limited, that would be such an epic fail.

There's a part of me that wants to give credit to nexon to not time limit items that require such an obscene number of insignias, but I also know it's Nexon we're talking about.

What is this 30 minute drop timer? I remember killing ht with my group and we killed in around 20 minutes and we got drops.

If you kill it too fast, you get no drops. The system is a tad random though, sometimes you would get the drops even if you killed it faster, but that is rare. It's been like this since Big Bang.

Is it just me or did the game go offline?

Edit:**Update** We are sorry for the short notice, we have experienced some technical difficulties and all game servers are currently offline.

Additionally, it's not worth risking no drops by killing it faster when you can just hang on a rope and take 1 damage and sed from an arm for however long is left until drop timer is up. It's supposed to get rid of hackers so they can't farm ©htps.

EDIT: Not just you. Thank goodness someone else noticed.

The conditions for HT to drop items are either
A) Defeat HT within any time frame with 6 or more surviving members
or
B) Defeat HT after the required time frame if you have less than 6.

Since the ticket system is glitched after 30 people have signed up, you have no choice but to do B.

They need to just get rid of the ticket system period and get rid of the drop timer period. Both of them were implemented to reduce hackers. Neither of them did its job as hackers still kill HT and get drops.
