The only avatar you can have is the generic picture. This is to avoid possiblities of bad stuff being put in, lol.

So.. there is no way to put something bad in a sig then? Perfect Plan!

Forum avatars don't portray your in-game character at all. They're just a template to distinguish between classes.

ninja'd >.<

Then that option is pretty pointless.
Why not just make option to put custom avatar?
If somebody put some bad picture then just give him temporally ban and remove avatar.

its 1am here what taking them so long?

I think the forum avatar changes as you level up, not sure about this though.

I just auto patch it and still servers are offline.

That it does Cun. My tiger barb picture looks nothing like the original one, because they attempt to pick some of the armor from the level range you are in and put it on the avatar.

Untamed have different avatars depending on the "animal" they choose, why can't archers have a little frog or something? >.<

Spartan females do not do battle, their place is at the home to make the Man Spartans dinner. I think, it says something like that in to movie. It's either that or they are there to give courage or idk.. their only job is to make men spartans?

Servers are up! Thanks for waiting!

Someone said that 2x drops does not mean that there will be twice as many chances for an item to drop, specifically the Red Mat "Heart of Nature". While this is technically correct, the increase is so close to twice that it hardly makes a difference, and the implication that "rolling the dice" more times makes no difference to the chance of a drop is simply incorrect.

The drop rate for Heart of Nature is 0.0042% or 0.000042.

The number of times the "die" is rolled when the boss is killed is 24. It is ALWAYS 24 for this boss.

The Probability of Heart of Nature dropping is therefore 1 - (1 - 0.000042)^24 or 0.00100751. This is the "real drop rate" mentioned in the PWDATABASE.

When the 2x drops event happens, the number of dice rolls is increased, from 24 to 48 in this case (2 x 8 x 3).

It is correct that the standard drop rate is not increased at this time, but the real drop rate is determined by the number of dice rolls that occur.

Deterimining the real drop rate again, it becomes 1 - (1 - 0.000042)^48 or 0.00201401.

This is 1.99899249 x the original drop rate. Not quite 2x, but pretty close.

Another way of looking at these numbers:

0.00100751 is 1 in 992.54 Boss Kills.
0.00201401 is 1 in 496.52 Boss Kills.

So, when the 2x bonus starts, try very hard to kill the boss close to 500 times before the event runs out. That should give you a decent chance of getting your mats.


Good Luck!
