LG beast drop changes

[Atropos]

Hawt update, what about pet drops though :|

Yet another patch total contradicting previous statements, to accomidate those who complain the most. This is getting old.

You said those who have taken the time to invest in crafting skills will be among the richest in the game. Players who currently have "monopolies" on said LG's have invested hundreads of millions of gold to get in their current position, did so based on that information.

Now, based on the NoD lottery that is the LG beast, NoD will be flooded with LG masters and any schmuck can obtain them.

This patch underminds the most elite, dedicated and hardest working players in the game, and deminishes what it means to be a "legendary" player.

I agree, I can't see x3 masters dropping helping with the problems you mentioned you wanted to rectify

[Underkid]

I am also curious to see how this goes...

We're not doing anything to harm the current monopolies that players have established on LG items. It does not undermine anyone. 3 master plans in place of 1 LG a couple times a month could hardly be called a flood.

Calling the LG beast system a lottery is just whining. There's a combination of luck and skill involved in killing beasts. If you look at the distribution of epic and LG kills you can only come to the conclusion that skill plays a huge role. The best equipped players with well-rounded tank and destroy strategies get the majority of the kills but occasionally some lucky teams catch a beast on its last legs and get a kill. What's wrong with that?

We absolutely make game changes when players make complaints. But only if those complaints are rational as opposed to emotional and will result in a better game play experience overall.

Is intresting change . Dont see it affecting the few crafters to much . They will obviously get opprutunity to craft 1 of these items no matter what now .
They can instantly make a master after that craft .
The 3x masters will have less value then the original LG beast drop that was usable by all without crafting needed cause people that wanted it to have the only1 in game will no longer bid crazy amounts on said item and drive up price.
I muched prefered how it was if u wanted to compete or mess with lg market thats where u spent ur gold like i had .

I made masters of weapons others had got just to drive down prices . The economy should be player driven not for glitch to put in changes like this cause u dont want to spend ur gold on it .
I made many armor masters to ... Canthe beasts start dropping these too so people wont have to spend $ to obtain a master?

1 person could just buy the other 2 masters thus establishing there monopoly, as 3 people having masters this would only ensure everyone gets a cut, its is sad for people who dont want to destroy there items however

[Trojan]

1 guy and his alt ended up with 2 masters ..... 3rd guy wanted all .... didnt get all sold his cheap and went afk......i ended up with 2 masters dont think this is going stop the monopoly glitch ..... just make people madder that the beast drop can be useless if cant craft said item .... at 1 point 3rd person was even going to offer free tps .... enjoy the new drops guys :P

[paulodjohn]

I consider you a monopoly trojan since you have a big percentage of legend weapon masters and you can out do everyone in price :P and it has happened just as i said. 3 masters would make it easier for these people to continue to obtain the masters. and it didn't take you long either

The old way is much better imo

[Trojan]

Yes i kinda did it to prove point didnt really want the master .
Maybe i sell none .
But i like crafting and taking the gamble .
But i got 2 masters much cheaper then i ever gort 1 for in past

[Master]

/wrist I feel robbed

[Trojan]

soon will be free crafting of tps and lgs lol @ those like myself that took time and got dragonsorrow shield to craft weapons .
Glitch any plans to do this with items that already dropped and people have held on to the only 1 thus making the item unvaialble?

[Master]

I would like to know if beast will ever drop repeated weapons....
Will it drop the kraken again?
Will it drop the quiver with stats?
Will it drop ebony staff?

I don't think knowing the answer to this will hinder anything on the game. Please give a answer to this

[Trojan]

It dropped beguilers blade over so i would assume is a chance he can drop whatever he wants over ...
This is by far stupidest thing to happen to crafting so far .
I would even propose a rollback and this idea scrapped lol.
But hey soon all lgs will be free crafting and rest of nod will be happy other then thsoe that invested into crafting at the start .

[Master]

yea im pretty upset but I think the blade dropped because master was lost due to a ban.... Im hoping im right... Glitch please answer this.

[Trojan]

i still had a tp and some 1 else had 1 taht was made could have been another in game if we choose
him putting so many masters i game is going kill crafting
Was a good gold sink the way it was before if u wanted to make a master to get in the competion .
Now masters will be cheaper then ever and highly competitrive to point they can be driven down to nothing

[Moordenaar]

I don't think the old ones should be forced dropped. They were dropped before the change and should be forced out there.

[Trojan]

so in your opinion is ok for monopoly of old items but new 1s shouldl be free to craft?

[Glitchless]

What do you think legendary beasts will drop after they've dropped the full list of legendaries? Obviously they'll at some point drop duplicates just as they have dropped duplicates of pets.

And Trojan, your lack of understanding or purposeful misleading of people about the implications of the new LG master drops is getting tiresome. Nobody is going to spend millions to buy a master only to produce copies for free. Right now there's just posturing between those who own them (you being one of them) where you're trying to psyche out the other person and convince them that their master plans have no value. Master plans, mats, and LG crafters are needed to make LGs and LGs are the most valuable items in the game. The fact that master copies are now going to be lowered in value only increases the chance that there will actually be some competition between multiple crafters. You or someone else may make a handful of free copies out of spite, but it won't continue that way for long, buying master copies just to produce copies for free.

[Master]

so are you saying after all LG weapons are dropped then you will start dropping the old ones or that you will just drop the ones now when ever?
