omg. Thank you so much for this

stellariodragon · October 2015

I got my aura~! ^______________________________^

draogn · October 2015

The ghost ship is a waste of time, I got some useless lowlevel gear and no tokens.

avianos · October 2015

The ghost ship melts withing 20 Seconds, and only gives tokens to the highest DPS (even people who score #3 get 1 token)

I got zero tokens and a pre-alert gear

0/10 Not going to bother with this one!
But the rest are quite nice

guyhumual · October 2015

I'm happy that Vibora Bay gets some Bloodmoon love this year, I think the event will need to be tweaked somewhat, but I appreciate the effort.

bazodee · October 2015

~~Ah man, you guys removed the endless spawning pit from the crypts..~~ No, they didn't.

avianos · October 2015

People are already Griefing Bloodmoon villain fights as Onslaught Villains
They jump in to get hit by AoEs and then attack non-stop the tagged players
I got a Grond yesterday who kept attacking us while fighting Amazing Grace

eiledon · October 2015

@ladygadfly just completed vigil's crypt, got 5 turakian coins (according to log), and also one from a treasure chest. However none showing in inventory or currencies or overflow. Main inventory was full, however other 4 bags were empty.

Emptied first bag and did crusher's crypt. again log says I got 5 turakian coins for the harbinger and another 1 from another treasure chest however still nothing showing in inventory or currencies.

Dwoemer's reward of 25 coins not showing anywhere for me either.

Edit: 37 Turakian Coins showing when i visit Dwoemer's store but nothing visible on my actual character to indicate this.

My coins show up with my other currency. Mind you I'm farming with a character that doesn't have a lot of other currencies so you might be experiencing a problem where too many currencies mean that no new ones can be added, but for me I don't have a problem.

jonsills · October 2015

Look in "Currencies", not in your bag. It's a Currency, like Snakebucks or Drifter Salvage, not an item.

beezeeze · October 2015

I got 3 tokens for coming in 5th place after battling the ghost ship yesterday...

it appears the scoring for that fight is not as cut and dry as it seems.

Guy, i think you are probably correct - it is on my main Rook who has pretty much every currency imaginable so most likely just a UI issue.

I placed 5th on a run and got 1 Tcoin.

Apart from that, it's pretty uneventful. There is nothing drawing me back to the Ghost Ship really. Which is too bad cause it looks nice. Maybe a piece of special pirate costume drop would have elevated the event.

im with you here T_T

OTOH the loot from the Until Boxes has improved a lot. Occasional R5 mods and purple gear.

Thanks for that!

It still outlevels the character (by up to ten levels!) unless you're 40, though, so for me it's still just vendor fodder. Hey, guys, any chance you could make the gear from UNTIL boxes match the toon's level? Or at least only be one or two levels higher?

kallethen · October 2015

IMO, the drops from the Harbinger of Woe need to be changed to be given to all players in the mission instead of just the team leader. If I'm teamed up with somebody, I never end up getting the coins because of the current method. This is actively discouraging teaming up.

kyastral · October 2015

Hmmm...it is nice to have changes within the Blood Moon event; however one thing still hasn't changed:the mystic-bound turakian that appears in one of the crypt maps. Why is it still there when players cannot unchain it? I think the devs should have removed it from the crypt when they made their upgrades since they have decided not to do anything about it. I have asked some veteran players, and none of them seem to know what it is there for or if it even gives a reward if you succeed in releasing it.

pantagruel01 · October 2015

It's a cosmetic feature, like the other ghostly figures. No need for it to do anything.

On the flip side of this it took me and maybe 2 or 3 others like 20 minutes to beat this sucker late last night!

No uber tanks, just a bunch of dps with no real effective AOE, I must have gotten squished by massive mobs of angry ghost pirates a dozen or more times! We got it done though, I got 2nd place and 5 coins for my trouble.

These super tanks who solo these things PTS are not such a good judge of challenging content.

Not saying it should be any easier! I just got a chuckle thinking back about everyone who said it was too easy...

pantagruel01 · October 2015

The ghost ship would melt if anyone bothered to do it. However, given the reward table, no-one bothers to do it.

Unless they have the name in a different colour and the GM title before it. You have been on the receiving end of a copycat. Just like the copycats who were making use of Lucidity's reputation.

also when they are on, they are simply listed as Navi with the GM title before it.

I also notice they your chat is very like Keeper of the Lights, including your comments about recording. The only accepted recordings are from Report spams, screenshot.

So you talked crap in PvP, and got ganked; in short PvP happened. what does this have to do with GM Navi other than you are sore that PvP happened and people ganked you?

Reality is the person above is trying to frame Navi out of spite. It's another one of those "I'm mad because things didn't go my way" approaches.

What's funnier, looking at that page, I see no evidence that backs up the postersclaims, not to mention, isn't it against Facebooks rules to make pages like that? So far the evidence is a handle that isn't GM navis, but someone impersonating, which again is against the TOS and a perma ban offense impersonating someone from Cryptic.

I think the most amusing part is they even show them filling out an internet crime report... because they got beat in PvP in a game.

It was pretty pathetic. I always knew some of those PVP players were...special, but I just never realized just hot bat sh!t crazy they are.

There's just 1 (maybe 2) that are like this. It's not a reflection of everyone in pvp and very unfortunate that it appears that way.

I'd probably PvP more if I could have an alternate build for PvPing, but since I can't well, PvP and my current build just won't work out well.

themightyzenith · October 2015

We have one GM and he has to spend his time looking at stuff from time-wasters like that

chaelk · October 2015

tried reporting the post but the report function is borked.

chaelk · October 2015

Bingo, thought that chat looked familiar.
Watched the first video. GM Navi was offline.
second video his complaints list and it's a long and familiar one.
The best one is Navi part 2- where it lists HIS insults to others. and guess who the others.

Then there's the one about him being banned with a list of his comments ingame to the same people Messiah kept losing to.

This person has a string of complaints about people.
Let's see,
objects to people attacking them.
insults others and complains fi they get it back.
tells others recording chat so can report them.
Keeps calling people racist with comments listed.

hmm who does this sound like
