What if there were no drops in Nirvana? Instead each character got a quest that awarded mats once it is finished. How would that affect the nirvana scene?

    it would make doing nirvana during 2x drops pointless, kinda like how doing gv for exp during 2x exp is pointless

    Well..

    No 4/5 aps squads spam WC while double drop


    i Hate the nirvana "drop" system anyway..
    why drop such stupid chests instead of just one item at all?

    here you have a HUGE chance, that the banker scamms you and when you see, whats got dropped, its a way lower chance.. i mean cmon

    run nirvana w/ friends to avoid scam, but ya im not sure y the boss doesnt jsut drop the actual item (w/ the appropratie % chacnes of which item could drop) instead of a chest you have to open.

    true but sometimes i run with a wc squad, nv run is pretty smooth but when it comes to the drops we got.. hmm b:embarrass

    sometimes its just weird, when the banker only got 25~ cannies after 5 runs and other 35+

    call it unlucky guy, call it scam, i have no idea

    but i do know, that the guy, who thought:"gee we should drop a chest instead of the actual item from the bosses except the last one" should be slapped in the face.

    There is NO reason, why the last boss drops the actual item and not drop a chest too (maybe Shining Chest? lol)..

    what were they thinking b:shutup

    The chest thing is completely stupid and I think most would agree on that. What I am thinking about more than the scamming is squads vs solo/duo. If there were a quest rather than drops of any kind, then more the merrier right? Because everyone would get their own quest and own drops so having more would just make the runs go faster and the players still get the same drops regardless of the number involved.

    The game is so solo/duo focused now. You can not get anywhere if you do things with a full squad. I was just thinking of a way that having more with you would be more beneficial than going alone (as it should be in any multi-player game).

    the scamming people is why i only run when most of the people in squad are friends that i trust that i run with regularly and an I'm Skype or vent with. if you don't want to be scammed make sure you know who your running with.. and if your thinking that 2 squads having radically different drops from same number of runs... consider the luck factor... or the unlucky factor. did 14 runs 1 day. and got 2 raps in total.

    i personally would love the bosses to just have drops instead of chests though. or make the quest that lets you enter nirvana be timed so that it can only be completed every 30 minutes or something like that. would make it so that people would be more likely to take spell casters since them finishing in 5 minutes wouldn't matter.

    I support this idea. Bosses shouldnt drop chests, but just have implemented in them the % of what a chest would give and make it 100% chance they drop something from that list.

    A timer would also be nice on the quest. Repeatable each 30 mins isn't that much of a deal I think and would incite people to invite less OP Melee/Casters.

    I don't go to many squads and very few people I actually trust with chests.

    Another idea, like it was suggested, would be that everyone should get a quest upon entering. Give , I dunno, 1 dim and 1 gold chest when end boss killed. And let end boss drop what he is dropping now (all can see). If afterwards people want to talk to each about who got what, deals could be made. It woudnt really change the runs in 2x either , as last boss would still drop 2 raptures or so and everyone would have a chance to get 2 craps or 2 cannnies.
    Proud supporter of the new expansion. Sure it has it's share of bugs, like any games. But for a pure farmer/grinder, that's a whole lot of new mobs to go beat up b:chuckle

    I think the original INTENT was to keep chest random, and that person just keeps whats in it. Therfor it was also designed to control fthe flow of cannies to spacific people for spacific reason. The last boss was a bobby prize for those of us <poor>. who never seem to get any boxes during the actual run.

    anyway thats my opinion
