Blacklake Bonus AD?

dairiuschi3

So with the changes, as with a lot of people I noticed a sharp drop in my AD income... it happens, a lot of prices were lower so it kind of balanced out...? Not really but it's close.

Thing is I can't get myself to run 2 dungeons, skirmishes, and PvP on every character because it's just so slow going and I'd rather focus on my campaign stuff to get boons to strength my characters in ways besides more gear.

So I made use of a couple of my unused char slots from the last time they were on sale, and made a level 5 OP to run Blacklake Terror twice a day. It's a quick skirmish, and 3-4k AD isn't much but it's about how much I used to get from one of my leadership alts in a day...

But after running it twice I got 28 AD once, and 59 AD another time. Does it not offer the bonus daily AD? Do you not get those the first day a toon is made? Is there a requisite level to getting them?

I'm just curious if anyone else is having this problem.

They probably "adjusted" the AD gain to the character level... meaning, no more fast lowlevel Blacklake skirmish runs for some quick rAD.
And unless that is changed in the next patch, i doubt that it wasn't made intentional... to fight botters of course.
All you can do right now is run dungeons and skirmishes with your level 70 characters to get rAD for the run and from salvaging any items you pick up.

After the first 2 runs of the day, the AD earning will drop to very low. This behaviour is described in one of the posts from the dev. It does not matter which dungeon/skirmish.

Before the patch, 1k rAD per Blacklake skirmish run...
After the patch, 100-200 rAD per Blacklake skirmish run.

The Devs could have set it at least to:
+ level 11 to level 30, 1k rAD for the first two skirmish and dungeon runs
+ level 31 to level 60, 2k rAD for the first two skirmish and dungeon runs
+ level 61 to level 70, 3k rAD per the first two skirmish and dungeon runs
plus the bonus rAD acording the character level.

Basically when the developers said they will let you earn more AD playing the game, they really meant less. Less is the new more. Just look at the "new" GMOP pricing. Sure they lowered GMOP prices BUT they also introduced a new SMOP. How stupid is that? Like we need more MOPS..... They should have just gotten rid of them to begin with. All the AD sinks were added back when people were earning a lot of AD either from dungeon runs, exploits or whatever. Now that those days are gone, there just isn't a need for these sinks. Just watch the ZAX keep tanking.

Dungeon run just now on my level 25 alt. character.
- I'm not in the dungeon group itself, and i can't join that group, but i'm running the dungeon anyway.
- In the middle of the run, i get a disconnect, relog, and get removed from the dungeon, since i'm not part of that dungeon group.
- In PE i see the "enter instance again" or something like it button, i click it, and i'm back in the same dungeon, but still not in the same group with all the other players.
- We continue to fight through the dungeon, kill the end boss, and i get 0 rAD for it.

This new rAD rewarding system has some serious bugs and issues, and i hope the Devs will look at this again, and come up with some fixes.
