My fellows irons. THIS is honestly even better than the update we asked for. Is it pricey? Yes, a bit. But mage bandos, range bandos; they are options to lessen the cost. By the time you want to grind out 1k bandos KC, you will have money from shamans and Hydra. Gold is expendable eventually. This price is NOT the hill we should die on. If we keep complaining, support will fall. This is likely our only chance at getting instances, and in a way that legitimately helps all players. This is an instant YES from me, and I hope from you all too.

Glad you agree, GP has very limited use for irons and I don't think it's unreasonable to either ask you to grind some GP before grinding bandos if you want to avoid regular/non instanced bandos, or even grinding for some dupes to dump in the coffer.

It's kind of what the gamemode is all about, gather your resources, then use them.

Middle ground: Scrap the gold requirement on GWD instances and make it only payable from Deaths Coffer. This way, Irons have an incentive to not drop trade shit because they need to sacrifice duplicate pieces to the coffer to pay for instances.

No one can complain about irons dropping dupes anymore and irons get an actually decent way to pay for their instances that isn't dipping into another one of their scarce resources (GP).

It has been changed to offer the ability for all accounts to use deaths coffer to pay for all instances in the game, as a separate question.

It feels like not that much has changed outside of Instances. Will anything about the new offhand and its balance around the Avernic be addressed before the poll? Going from +30-28 to +40 is quite the leap, especially for Pures who go from +8 to +25. On that note, how is the Offhand obtained? Is it free to reobtained, making it no risk for PvP?

It would be free to obtain yeah.
It's a lot of accuracy but provides no strength, in most scenarios avernic will be better dps, where this offhand would shine at very high defence monsters.

150k down to 75k for a solo instance in bandos is still insanely expensive.

Poll Question #12

Should players be able to pay the coins fee for private instances by taking it directly from Death's Coffer, should they have the available funds? This would apply to all current and future private instances throughout the game.

So yes, you can "sell" stuff for the instance, assuming it passes.

Kraken, GWD bosses and most other boss related activities are all instanced. Is there a reason why Cerb hasn’t been given this treatment? It’s especially tough going dry at Cerb with people just walking into a world you’ve been into for an hour and taking the boss.

The bosses that were instanced for leagues were because the bosses would have been nearly impossible to do without them.

Cerb is definitely possible but I do agree it can be frustrating to get crashed, however the content is definitely still completeable without it.

Instancing things is quite a big job so I don't expect it to happen mid league, sorry but good luck on the crystals!

Did you have "Large raids" checked on the scouting board?

It's also possible third party clients haven't updated yet to handle the new maps and display correctly.

The CoX layout change question was a bit confusing, so I'm going to summarise the way I interpreted it. My understanding of the CoX generation question is this:

  • You want to add a toggle which lets us choose whether we want large raids, or medium/small ones.

  • If medium/small size is selected, you have an equal chance of getting (4Combat, 2Puzzle) or (3/4Combat, 1/2Puzzle).

  • If large size is selected you always get (5Combat, 2/3Puzzle).

Please let me know if this is correct.

This is correct, however we'd be proposing that large pool would only consist of 5 Combat 3 Puzzle raids, under the impression that if a player wants a large raid, they want the largest raid possible.

Tip: Use inventory tags to quickly determine what seeds are junk and what seeds are worth keeping - works great for pickpocketing, birdnests and opening seed packs

Kraken generally behaves as normal, the only issue was that if there are multiple people in the room it behaved incorrectly.

Thank you Mod Arcane for proposing Boss Slayer

Comment

I appreciate the kind words, I had a lot of fun fleshing the idea out and I was happy to read through the thousands of comments about it, it was really cool seeing you all so engaged and passionate!

I didn't take any of it personally, I know a spicy meme at the end of the day is just a way of getting your opinion across, which I value highly.

I'm looking forward to the next project, I hope you are all as engaged about this one too!

You would not pick your quantity no, the expected quantity for each task should be 2-3 hours of PvM unless extended.

All previous requirements for boss tasks will still be enforced.

How is this supposed to work? because unless we can spec it down it probably wont end well

There is a solution to this, where we can make it so when you open said private task instance, it remembers and re-applies the stats of what corp had when you left.

So you can still spec corp down, although you wouldn't be able to drop food and have it remain there.

There was a tree that made pathing when trying to kill some monkeys in karamja to be a pain, we removed it.

It'd be great for tob indeed. DCs are sadly unavoidable but I can think of several HCIM (oispa, golden axe, muts) who DCed in ToB while their teammates' connections were fine.

I'm happy that new content like tob and gauntlet is dangerous for hardcores but the risk of a DC make alot of content less enjoyable/viable for HCIM. Theres no perfect solution but what you mentioned would definitely be a nice start :)

On a somewhat related topic, I know you werent too interested in the idea of being able to use the teleport crystal as a 1 click tele in gauntlet but there as well, it just becomes so much less viable to do the content on a HC if you have to right click a door in a chaotic fight like that which is unfortunate. Its essentially the only fight aside from deep wildy bossing where you dont have a 1 click teleport

Again, all this affects very few players so I realize its not a team priority, but it'd be a great update for those few <3

I'm happy to hear that.

I'm not strictly opposed to the crystal acting as a teleport out, once you're in the fight. But i was mostly just thinking if the difference between right click->left click a door vs clicking a teleport is that much harder, considering the door does have a much bigger clickbox than the crystal, too.

It's very possible i'm wrong on that, as i've never experienced the stress of a HCIM, but that was my view on it.
