From the conversations with the developers I've had, I don't think the intention is to stop casual masses ocurring. I'm pretty new to PvM myself and Nex is something I'd like to do as a segway into even more challenging PvM. I think that they just want to ensure that players learn mechanics properly rather than cheesing through with big groups.

There's some tweaks in there today that should help a bit with the scaling in larger groups, and we'll continue to monitor the activity levels as well as feedback concerns. I know the devs themselves are really passionate about making sure you feel rewarded for your time, as well as challenged and having fun. They are certaintly on top of all the feedback - thanks for engaging with us.

Very naughty but we understand haha.

Thanks that's a really good point. We'll make sure this is amended soon, a number of us are taking a late lunch but it will be added ASAP!

This is actually something that came up in our meeting today (whether we'd want to extend it to other GWD bosses). We're not sure yet, we need to see player feedback and response first but it's certainly something we can look at. Thanks for your feedback!

We've got this as a question for the devs on today's Q&A. Hoping we can answer it and get the devs thoughts!

I've seen this come up a couple times so I'll add this as something we can discuss in today's Q&A. I would say that it is day two only, so perhaps a grind isn't too bad, but it's worth discussing. I am assuming the team would like to monitor feedback before straight up buffing any loot tables.

Cheers for the feedback! Sounds like you're on board with the idea of shared group instances then? We'll keep this in mind.

Thank you for explaining! I'll make sure we touch on this point in tonight's Q&A, and I'll pass this on.

We've made a few tweaks to Nex's mechanics, but nothing has changed in this regard at present.

Thank you! We hope you're enjoying yourself and please keep letting us know what you think!

I'll make sure this is brought up in our Q&A today, to get some insight from the dev team and hear what they have to say. We appreciate the feedback. :)

Thanks for the ping! I sent it across to Player Support and they're investigating.

Hey guys! We've made a change to allow masks to slightly reduce the oppressiveness of the *cough* phase at Nex - especially in masses. Players were wearing full mage gear in order to offset the cough mechanic, which is absolutely fine, but we'd also like to allow the player more agency in how they deal with this phase should they wish. So when wearing either a gas mask, facemask or slayer helm, the duration of the *cough* effect as part of her smoke mechanic is reduced slightly. We hope that this will allow players to switch gear if they wish. The previous method of using full mage gear still works though if you prefer that way.

Mod Errol ftw!

Yep! That is correct. :)

AWESOME QUESTION! :) I've added it for consideration for tomorrow's livestream! We have the Nex team on our Twitch Q&A tomorrow so hopefully can give some insight there.

Hey everyone! We'll be live on Thursday 6th January on Twitch with our weekly Q&A live stream!

Since Nex has launched today, a large focus of the stream will be on answering game update and Nex-related questions. Since it's launch day today, we're largely focused on fixing any bugs we come across and listening to your feedback.

Questions about any topic in-game are also welcomed, feel free to ask away! :)

What do you want to know from the development team that worked on Nex? Do you have any game update questions that need answering tomorrow? :)

Hi there, I've seen a couple of reports of this. At present the team believe that it might just be down to a couple things:

- Number of players in the instance. If many players' loot drops in a single tile, the tile can only hold a certain amount of items, so the lowest value items will start to get deleted.- If there's a small amount of people in the instance, loot drops underneath the boss. If there's a large amount of players, loot drops underneath the player instead.- Loot being under the player isn't what most players are used to so they might struggle to see it.- Particularly the value of Ecu Key Shards is quite low so they may get deleted first. This is something we'll look into. We can't adjust the GE price because they're untradeable, and so we're discussing alternatives.

However if it's still the case that loot is bugged, we will be interested to fix it. I'm still monitoring the situation and number of reports about it, so please let me know if it persists...
