November 18 for Rise of Tiamat!

damnataanimus · October 2014

Yay.

I killed tiamat on test server and its a lot of fun. At least I think we killed her - it was telling me to loot the chest, not that I could. And I cannot wait for artifact offhands, though I think I will just drop a few stacks of those opals on it and get it legendary that way

I thought that maintenance's and module releases were always on Thursday , the 18th is a Tuesday , I wonder why they are releasing it on a Tuesday this time? or is that so that it fits in with WotC timetable?

My guesses:

1. That's when WotC is releasing their update, so Cryptic is bound by contract to follow suit.
2. They want to allow themselves to make a follow-up maintenance that Thursday, if needed.
3. They want to use the following Thursday to add new fluff items, (lockbox, Zen store items, etc).

WotC is releasing Nov 4th. So, exactly two weeks later.

Nice, it would be nice if I could, but I've:
1) messed up my sleep pattern for now so that most people are asleep
2) am unable to organise enough people ):

You need the special key for the chest btw, though I assumed you'd get a HE claim reward button too. Of course they did say that the reward rate wasn't finished.

valencay · October 2014

Mod releases (and other massive updates) are usually done on Tuesdays - this way they still have Wednesday to fix any emergency bugs, and the usual Thursday (and Friday) for any others that crop up and need fixing. That way the Devs can still (usually) have their weekend.

just 3 words....

WAY TOO SOON

But the trend is clear, 1 mod every 3 months... 1 every 5 would be more appropriate

Kind of disagree. I'm out of stuff to do. Though I expect mod 5 will also quickly give me nothing to do too.

Seriously, how much did you play? ...

I'd rather not answer that question :P. Lets just say, too much. I would've agreed had they made LoL rewarding instead of feeling like a giant waste of time though. That's been the trend since mod 1 though :c. I've been levelling up toons 19-28 to level 20 leadership to get my progress I desire. It's not quite as compelling or fulfilling...

johnperq · October 2014

Three weeks? Thats pretty close by.
I just hope they are almost done with the main content
and properly calculated in enouph time
to go through all feedback they got.
If not I would have no issues at all to wait another month
for a polished version.

we had around 10 players with 18k+ several players were 20k+ - I was on my temp warlock as for last phase you just protect some people and kill heads and stuff idk I was just killing the packs of mobs near the people and healing people while others did other stuff but yes it was several minutes of intense fighting dodging huge insta kill attacks from heads and stuff but it said wed completed it and told us to loot the chest (even had the icon on map) which is why I said I think we did xD

wow only 10 ppl? for "the last part" i mean the last time you approach the head before completing it, how much health had each head and how did you killed them?

Nah, it's Thursdays, actually.

But if this will also include the TR and DC updates, I think it is far too soon. I'd prefer them to spend another month getting the overhauls correctly balanced before releasing even MORE RNG grinds.

Twelve characters at level 60 - four DC and two TR

And I STILL have no Black Ice Gear, never mind even touching ToD yet.

They should release it December 18th, 2014.

Then I'll have something to do on Boxing Day when the Christmas Tedium really starts kicking in.

As I said I did not attack heads myself. I was defending the npcs in that phase of the fight - that said they seemed to go down pretty fast. And yes 10 players or so, but we had probably 6+ with 20k gearscore plus so that likely helped things.

So the "nemesis of the gods" died from 10 guys -.-', good job cryptic.

I remember reading an official WotC-Adventure, where a small party beats her. But usually they had help of some sort.
But maybe my memory tricks me here.

But whatever, it is just a boss. Cryptic proved more than once that they cannot implement the lore properly.

damnataanimus · October 2014

10 guys (and at least one woman

) who can probably solo most t2 dungeons xD

As I said though its not just you. You are protecting npc's who weaken her for you. It is actually really well done, do not knock it till you've tried it.

No-one else to blame but you for rushing through the admittedly limited content and before you reply let me give you your own response to the question 'how much do you play?'...

Mod 5 is gonna be here before I get my artifact bow to legendary to even acquired an artifact belt. Hell, I don't even have one of my three artifacts at legendary yet. I agree that Mod 5 is being released far too soon.

there's really not much to rush, 19 days of campaing. if then you get lucky while doing elol or esot you drop a belt you need and you have completely finished mod4. LUCK is key word for this mod

It's not my fault at all, I've done hundreds of CN runs because it was worth my time, it still gave me progression. The fact that I can''t do that with the dungeons released since mod 1 is a problem and a huge cause of me being bored with nothing to do. Am I really expected to do hundreds of LoL runs with probably no boon and still no belt and bound gear that I already have? Yes that's totally my fault. You really think that me making most of my AD passively instead of directly playing is a good thing? Why does it make sense to progress the most by not playing the game?

Also considering mod 5 is an extension of mod 4, you can't really say it's coming too soon. Not as much work was needed to make 1 zone, 3 solo instances and one closed off fancy HE. You're not going to fall any further behind, all you have is the potential to speed it up. I'd say that for the other modules they should have taken longer to fix issues and make it worth it, but it's too late now, they've done it for too long.

Plus there's no challenge anymore, but I suppose that's not their fault despite them releasing 4 artifact equipment in mod 4 and 5 to go on top of the artifact gs inflation.
