Why are nemesis minions such trolls?

jediavatar

TODAY WAS THE WORST EVER! Over an hour this morning and they didn't show up once. I wasted an hour constantly killing prisoners in multiple zones for nothing. This is crazy, yesterday I got the minions to attack me in under 10 mins.

I'm lucky enough that the chairs are under the protection of my nemesis.

Whenever I need to find out what my nem is up to...I just "question" the chairs by the UNTIL building...and sure enough, the nemesis minions come to their aid.

Works everytime.

But think how lucky you are doing it for an hour.

And once you find the right way it's like 'SMACK CRACKLE POP!'.

There is a secret, Jedi.

When a mob drops a boost and you pick it up, there's a random chance the nem minions will attack and drop you a clue. But assuming it's been at least six hours since your last clue, if an inanimate object drops a boost, that guarantees an attack.

That's why you'll sometimes see people in RenCen destroying chairs and fruit carts and such, in the hopes of getting one to give up the orbs.

That's not guaranteed at all.

Some characters can be bigged in a way that makes orbs from chair not spawning minions, or spawning them, but with no clues at all.

It's also per character basis, not per account, nor tied to powers used. Nor cooldowns on Nemesis quests.

Such unlucky players can only hunt NPCs.

First: Is that really the proper analogy to use in this situation? And Second: To be safe, make sure you are not under the cooldown. They will keep appearing but they will never drop a clue if you are under the 6 hour cooldown. If that isn't the case, check with Defender or the Police Chief to see if they have a quest for you. You could kill minions for years and never get a drop if one of them has a quest for you.

Is this your first nemesis that you made or one of many you have already created? So we can help answer this problem better.

1. 6hrs CD.
2. ,make sure you have done Lemurian antiquities, if you haven't sometimes you get NOTHING till 40.
3. IF glowies give you nothing, se Defender or Martin.
4. IF you have had a mission with a picture clue instead of a tiket clue. ITs a paired one which automatically gives you the next mission without telling you.

My record is zero tokens to 40.
Lemurians antiquities was bugged so couldn't do and zero clues.

Huh, now I want them to add Trollfaces as a minion option.

That's a stupid solution, by the way. It makes it seem like the Nemesis is the hero, sending his knights to end your rampage.

It gets annoying when nem minions turn up when your in the middle of fighting something like Mega D.

Yeah that happened to me with Clarence yesterday. I didn't even notice the minions until they were dead already.
