Made some stupid purchases with Linus prior to MOD 6...now that all my boons are done in Dread Ring, 2 left in Sharandar, and 2 left in IWD...I have the LAST boon in TOD staring at me and laughing.

To my understanding, not a lot of Tiamat participants lately...so that leaves Feeding The Hoard with 100 Coffers, 1500 Dragon Coins, or treasure.

What is everyone else doing?

Personally, I skipped the last 2 boons of ToD (on PC). Seemed like too much of a grind, and now I don't have the AD for them. I do know that some people are still running Tiamat on Xbox, but not nearly as often as they were pre-mod 6.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. People are already beating Tiamat on occasion and with low Dragon's Hoard tiers. My guild did a run and killed Tiamat in two phases on Saturday: https://www.reddit.com/r/Neverwinter/comments/3nefyo/legendary_outlaws_beat_tiamat_in_two_phases/

Never fear. Those favors are about to start dropping like crazy for folks! We were making Severin look bad for three hours. The tier 1.5 (elemental alliance) gloves were also dropping, we had tier 1 unlocked.

why the laugh dread? cause people actually try?

Tiamat is picking up. Used to be WoD only had 2 instances with people. Now there are 6+. Should unlock tier 3 for the first time too. Just too time for people to get a higher item level score. As time goes on it will only fill up more. Ran dragons to completiong in instance 4 last night so you know its filling up.

i'm sure if you're patient enough you'll be able to buy the entire campaign progress completion via zen store.... lol

I think I stumbled on a PC reddit discussion about this being available for sharandar and dread ring on PC (which is why I stated t). "Only" $50 bucks per campaign; at the rate they are going they'll just nerf the campaign as soon as they put this service out so that you spend real money and don't get any benefit from it.

Yeah, I need to work on conveying my irony, and yes,campaign completion is available in the Zen store on PC, very convenient if you feel like spending...

Yeah were are running it, with many many people enjoying smores around the fire. Most people that give up have 2k or less Arp and cant figure out why the darn thing wont die lmao. Same fight and same ignorance imo. Not to mention the Blue glyph on Black Dragon....why...still is this happening. Been 0/7 so far even when I have my full guild group in same instance. My favorite is kiting a full group of adds into a perfect circle to get smashed on and having everything pushed all over hell and why am I even here helping ignorant players? Ahh yes 50 Favors. I can account for my guild fighting on but the other 20 people is a crapshoot. PvP kicks idle players why not Tiamat? You don't leave an area in a certain amount of time bye-bye. I would rather lose a hard fought battle than look at all the scrubs on the camp fire or better yet join us in the fight when there is a grasp of the concept at large. Perhaps a 1 Astral Diamond book could be bought from Wondrous Bazaar that can be purchased and all it has to do is explain the fight in detail. I also hear there is this thing called the interwebs that has the youtubes for finding videos and such n stuff on said topic

Tiamat is not the same as a dungeon in that it becomes very clear in the first 5 minutes what the outcome will be....yes i'm sure it's annoying seeing countless people curled up by the fire, but it isn't changing the outcome as at least 50% of the people have already hit the door to move on to better things.

If you want them to improve tiamat have actual loot drop from the enemies (gold, refinement stones, ANYTHING). Spending the next 15 mindlessly killing enemies and burning through injury kits isn't fun....

Before this thread derails into something it's not...I decided to pay 1 gold a Coffer or 1 Dragon Egg for 50 Coffers between farming HE and dragons.

Did pretty well...before long I WILL have that last frigging boon!

Thank you all!

Getting back on topic I can certainly sympathize with wasting linus favors early on prior to understanding the impact mod6 was going to have on gear.....However I figure it shouldn't take any longer than a month with coffers and dragon empire treasures to finish my final boon. It's a bit of a pain without tiamat but still doable....

As for new players who hadn't had the opportunity to farm tiamat in mod5, good luck finishing it ANYTIME soon....

patsfire · October 2015

What you mean "without tiamat"? You can still fight Tiamat right now.

thefiresidecat · October 2015

as some one else said, it's just a matter of time before tiamat becomes viable again. I think a vast majority of the player pool hasn't reached 70 yet. it was the best way to farm gear without a guild in mod 5 and I suspect it will be again when people gear up a bit more. It is just so hard to gear up now. I'd be interested in seeing what the numbers are for people playing this game now are. the last day or so in game has seemed very deserted compared to before.

Any ideas?
