" Insufficient stats when trying to queue for Kessels retreat ".
I unlocked the skirmish earlier today .
I equipped my 2 fully empowered pieces of armour ( purified ) which supposedly gives me the currently required 20% black ice resistance to at least queue for the skirmish and my gs is at 15.5K ( minimum is 14K ) and it gives me the above error .
Has anyone else managed to queue for this skirmish ( with either 2 or 3 pieces of corrupted or purified items ) ?
Or is there a new bug with them changing the requirements from 4 pieces to the current 20% minimum black ice resistance ?
Still no comment from a dev about wether a mistake was made with the boolean programming meant to be >=20% or if they meant it to be ( as it currently seems to be ) >20% .
This would be an easy thing to correct in the programming and therefore give a lot of us the chance to try out ( and give feedback ) on Kessels retreat skirmish .
With the limited drops seen so far of the arms , it looks like most of us will have to wait until we can get the corrupted or purified form of the armour to get us over the magical 20% mark .
Some feedback from the devs would be very appreciated ( after all they have been commenting on upcoming changes to the armour stats as requested by us ) .
Cheers .
I'm counting on the arms being a easy drop because otherwise it's going to be a nightmare if we have to rely on having to upgrade the black ice body armor , the upgrade for body armor requires either shamanic salve or beholder hide, both epic crafting materials and I'm guessing very rare drops from the heroic HE's or higher? (can't double check since I'm at work atm).
Or do the black ice accessories have resistance and do they count towards the prerequisites to get into the skirmish? if they do that will make entry a bit easier.
So far for me the arms haven't been an easy drop due to limited people on the preview servers .
Also the HE's didn't always trigger so often and with the group that I ran with , we were constantly checking back and forth between icewind pass and the dwarven area waiting for them to trigger ( about 3 hours or so) with no luck on my part and limited success for the rest of the group .
It is just strange to me that they reduced it from requiring 4 pieces down to a 20% black ice resistance requirement .
As 2 fully empowered pieces " gives you 20% " I am more inclined to believe that they messed up the boolean programming and just haven't corrected for this simple error ( just my opinion ) .
At the moment I am now about 11 days or so before I have the required 350 value to craft the armour ( don't know if I have the required craft items though ) .
I'm still hopeful that they will correct the " error " and then it will give us a chance to test the skirmish and give the feedback they so obviously " crave " .
Ok , the devs seriously need to correct this 20% trigger issue .
There are not enough people on preview to run the HE's often enough to enable a lot of people getting the arms to drop .
Also WHEN we get level 3 crafting unlocked to get a purified version of armour OR talisman they require an epic / rare drop ALSO .
I don't know HOW MANY people have been able to obtain any of these additional items .
HOW do the devs expect people to TEST ( AKA Q/A ) their skirmishes etc with so MANY hindrances in our way ?????

As dumb as necro posting.
