Mimic Hunt begins

[UurlockYgmeov]

But what about the concerns the players brought up?

Card storage -
many players either don't have the anniversary bag OR have destroyed it OR it is already full.

Since the Mimic Hunt loot is harder to obtain than Mabar - is the new loot going to be BtC or BtA?

Will these new cards be auctionable? (understand why last were not - but those 'issues' are gone) *knocking on wood*

The snow days have understandably slowed things down (how about making them up :D like a couple of Saturdays or Sundays? ) - however these issues were clearing and repeatably stated in the official feedback thread. However, the seemingly lack of reaction to our concerns is very disconcerting

[Chauncey1]

Because, we JUST had two event going simultaneously, one ending a few days ago....and they're starting up ANOTHER one?

you will get a new bag, with more room

no the items are the mabar items (lamma) and are btc, get ready for allot of forum outrage.

Didn't try but last time the cards where not right? so...

[UurlockYgmeov]

new bag good.

BtC - bad - and that coupled with the fact that no knowledge of what the cards make (the forumula) - torches and pitchforks oh my - at least that is what Kobold predicts.

[Lonnbeimnech]

Happy Halloween!

[Chauncey1]

Happy Halloween!

YAAAAY!!!

It's my favorite holiday!!!

Wait...what?

But Festivus just ended! And it's Halloween already?
But...but...I don't have my costume ready yet!

There was a statement early in the Aniversary card event that the Devs intended to make the cards auction able but, yeah that never happened.

Outrage? Naw, just upset it's in yet ANOTHER bag.

[Deslen]

Can someone link me to the info on the event? I can't find anything other than "stay tuned" on the chronicle.

[UurlockYgmeov]

/facepalm

not YET ANOTHER bag (won't say this about scroll/potion/mat/wand bags)

[SirShen]

i cant see it on Cannith has it started on other servers?

[moomooprincess]

If it has, I have no idea where the Mimic Hunter is inside of the Hall of Heroes.

I assume the pumpkin will become active if it has started. But that part of the wall just might always be inactive. The part where it shows Crystal Cove, Mabar, and Risia Ice Games doors.

[mudfud]

So just another reason to farm EE Haunted Halls. Few hundred chests get both remnants and Lost Motes

[MadCookieQueen]

From the guide:

When under the influence of Mimic Repellant, no mimic will spawn when you open a chest, although other members of your party who don't have Mimic Repellant can still open chests and have them turn into mimics"

This could mean a decline in pugging during the festival as mimic bait could potentially be the new "griefing" tool. I know people who will have fun with this.

Not sure how well this is going to go over as it's random Mabar loot based on even more cards.

Though I will try to keep an open mind.


Also anyone want to place a bet that raid chests will turn into mimics for the first day or two of the event??? ^^

[mudfud]

If it offers the same chance to get raid loot as it normally would, I wouldn't care if raid chests turned into them.

[Phoenix-daBard]

No bet. It was stated on Lam that they couldn't add the mimics to the raid chests because it was an entirely different system.

No, the Mimic Hunt doesn't begin until tomorrow (Thursday), probably sometime between late morning and mid afternoon Eastern time.

[mudfud]

LOL and how many times have people been told one thing and something completely different happened. If I was on Ghallanda I'd make a wager to it happening.

[Cleanincubus]

Apparently they just added a couple non-Mabar items (a Mimic creature companion being one), and messed with the spawn rate. Pretty much completely ignoring the rest of the negative feedback given. So random spawn rates, random cards, and random items from card combinations, of which are going to be useless for most characters. 34 days of just staring at our feedback, and ignoring it; same old same old from the Devs. Not surprised, really, just severely disappointed.

During the preview, a chest in Tempest's Spine turned into a Mimic (one behind the clay golem after the swim if I remember correctly.) But I believe they said before that, that specific raid has a different mechanic than the rest.

Thank You for reply.

Yeah. Great job, one less reason to pug :D

Also I don't really get why the people who don't want to participate should be the ones running somewhere (Hall of Heros...I mean common...can you even teleport there?) to get some kind of buff? I didn't bother to check it on Lamania (after seeing the feedback thread, I am glad I didn't, because it would be just a waste of time).

At least I hope that the repellant is permanent until you talk to that guy again. If it's on 5 hours timer then ok...I could probably live with that but if it disappears after logout, it's a total fail. I am really not interested in beating down CR:80 mimics if I randomly dc in EE Haunted Halls and running to the Hall of Heros after each quest.

[brian14]

http://www.ddo.com/en/mimic-hunt-guide

Any non-raid chest opened by a character level 3 or above can become a mimic! Even Champion chests can become mimics, and will reward Lost Motes in addition to Mysterious Remnants and regular loot.


Does this include chests you get in Challenges? Those usually are opened in a public space; can they also turn into mimics? And can these mimics attack people other than the chest opener?

If yes, some hilarity will ensue.

[AbyssalMage]

We get all the fun on G-Land ^^
Considering they don't test and retest their product. Someone has to be the guinea pig.

Here's to hoping they actually fixed the event. I mean, how much could go wrong not previewing the updated fixes?

[Cordovan]

The Mimic Hunt will run through March 8th.

I've been told that interacting with people is good manners. But when I ask How are you or How was your day, or when I ask your opinion on something, it's not because I care about the answer. It's because it's good manners. I will still do me and do what I want regardless.

Oy! Yes Please! swarms of mimics in House C!!!! Baracade the gates and pray to the Deities (who are busy providing Deity Dung through the holes in their garderobes) that the Mimic's don't figure out how to use the teleporter!

I did RC

[moomooprincess]

So many questions and I guess they will all be answered tomorrow.

[UurlockYgmeov]

maybe or just SOON™

[Amundir]

Please tell me they took out the cruncher turn-in in favor of a rewards list. Please!

[Ghlitch]

Please tell me they took out the cruncher turn-in in favor of a rewards list. Please!

They took out the old cruncher and put in.... a brand new cruncher! Yaaaaaaaaay!

[Amundir]

They took out the old cruncher and put in.... a brand new cruncher! Yaaaaaaaaay!

-_-, if so I'll probably avoid the whole event. Not meant to be a hostage "change it or I quit" thing, just a fact.

I repeat what I said in the original feedback. Cruncher interface provides no benefit to the game. It's slow and annoying. Even if it wasn't both of those, the only reason to have the cruncher over the rewards list is to make it "mysterious". Take into account, the whole thing will wind up on ddowiki, your creating short term "mystery" for long term annoyance.

[Dragavon]

No bet. It was stated on Lam that they couldn't add the mimics to the raid chests because it was an entirely different system.

And do you really think that will stop the bugmakers, errrh, programmers at Turbine? :p

[QuantumFX]

no the items are the mabar items (lamma) and are btc, get ready for allot of forum outrage.

I’m more annoyed by the fact that the people who want to opt out are the ones forced to go visit the Hall of Heroes. That place is a mess.

[moomooprincess]

I pretty much despise having to be in the Hall of Horrors er Heroes.

Endless running, but why? It could be great if everything was close, but nope. Just run around looking for something.

A very poor implementation of some idea involving dealing with Eveningstar and Eberron. As far as I can tell, they are not even together in this idea.

[SiliconScout]

So what about old mabar ingredients ... are they worthless now? I farmed the heck out of it for motes and ingredients but had to take off before I could turn most of it in for items.... are the old ingredients just wasted now or will they be useful / exchangeable for the new mats?

[Powskier]

oh yea;besides to big an area..the statues are the weakest artistic representation of "heroes" i have ever seen. They look almost alike, to the cheap lead figures, D&D tried to sell at toys r us back in the 80s. Not one statue has a realistic pose either.

+1

Should be off for everyone and anyone who wants to participate should be forced to go turn it on.

I am already predicting the threads coming out of this event...just like Champs...mimic's are too strong and they killed me forcing me to lose valuable XP / minute because I wasn't expecting them to spawn when I looted a chest...

[TPICKRELL]

Yeah. Great job, one less reason to pug :D

... I am really not interested in beating down CR:80 mimics if I randomly dc in EE Haunted Halls and running to the Hall of Heros after each quest.

The mimics are "immature mimics" from the videos on lamma they are much easier to kill than real mimics and although they had the animations of the "Sticky" effect, the sticky debuffs didnt seem to be taking place.

Severlin said in the round table a few weeks ago that they were immature mimics and weren't meant to be a significant fight.

[Cleanincubus]

Hmmmm, the sticky debuf and an acid DoT just apllied to me from a mimic in Waterworks. Acid damage wasn't anything. 1 acid per tick.

[brian14]

How many motes did you get?

[Faltout]

How many motes did you get?
None at the time. Encountered 2 more mimics in the 1st WW quest (1 killed me because I was trying to see if the acid DoTs stacked and they did :p). Got 1 Lost Mote from the 3rd one. I guess they reserve motes of Night for a possible halloween event.
EDIT: It seems I did get motes for all the mimics I killed. I may have not noticed it, but there are 4 motes sitting in my bag for 4 mimics encountered.

I still don't know how many damage they will do in higher levels. I don't want all my equipment get damaged because they are dealing lots of acid damage.

Btw, they apply the goo with each hit unless you block.

(Combat): You're covered in sticky goo, making it difficult to move or defend yourself. You have -70% movement speed, -20% attack speed, a -4 penalty to armor class, a -2 penalty to reflex saves, -25% fortification, and cannot jump or tumble effectively.

[zorander6]

You all are making my wife happy, no desire to fight mimics or get the mimic off buff so may not play this weekend. Now I'll have to do something like spend time with her watching tv or something. :P

Was my understanding from the preview event / livestream from Lamannia that these mimic were young mimics and therefor cannot goo you.

All chests - except for raid chests (ie the last one(s)) can be mimic. Cannith challenges don't really give chests - rather they give boxes.

[Epitome]

Just sharing some tested info on Mimic spawns from champ chests in EE Haunted Halls...

Mimics are CR 57 and although not really that much more challenging than the mobs themselves they may increase the resource use (SP for healing, etc.).

They do goo you and acid dot you, forgot the damage but I did have to fire off some heals cause it was taking some significant chunks of HP.

When the frenzy hits...the server wide event for mass mimic spawning...can someone let us know if the repellent is still working? That's my other concern.

Don't forget to update the matrix:

[Vellrad]

300 TP for bag than can't be aquired any other way.
Sure, disabling **** bag storage box is concident...

[Ra'ehd]

I feel like complaining must be seen as an art in DDO forums.

I don't visit too often, usually I only visit forums to find out what might be coming up in future updates or hotfixes..

but when I do, the amount of complaining perplexes me. For instance, the mimic festival. It's an event, it was made to be fun for players to do, but people are complaining that it's making the game harder for them to play? Why even play games in the first place, then? Games are meant to have some form of difficulty or resistance to the player, so that player can overcome them.

I feel like I should program a simple game -- Press 1 to win, or 2 to lose. When you press 1 you win, and if you press 2, you lose. That would be so fun. You really need to take these festivals and updates as the developers attempting to engage you as a player--whether or not they are successful, you should play this content, and then let the developers know how you liked or disliked it.

Other things confuse me too--like remnants disappearing after 3 minutes on the floor. Why is this an issue? How often can you say you backtrack your steps to look for remnants you missed? Many heroic quests being only a few minutes long, why would you spend the extra time looking for some you may or may not have missed, rather than playing on and acquiring new remnants? a 3-minute timer to address an exploit is a perfectly reasonable approach--yet, the players make such a fuss about it.

Just seems silly, I think i'll just stick to checking out the developer posts and ignore the majority of forums. Forums, a place where those whom wish to be loud and heard, can either be heard or ignored. I think I'll stick to the latter.

Ugh, so far, out of six chests I had two mimics. Each mimic chest gave me one Lost Mote.

I now have TWO lost motes.

Looks like an event I won't be participating much in.

You need 20 motes to get a reward. (2 cards) It's not that expensive.

[SirShen]

Yes but iv been playing now for one hour and all i got was 7 motes, so at this rate ill have to play for 3 hours if im luck to get 20 motes. Mimic rate is just too dam low. I thought last year's event was bad but this tops it. Just sad.

nah - for two cards - but to get the gear you want --- on each toon you want it on - will require MASSIVE investments of time.

Then there is this: Should be free

Should be free, or if it has to be available through the store, making it just a more negligible 50TP fee would be better.

On the plus side, at least it's BtoA unlike the all the other bags bought from the store.

[Faltout]

Don't know about that. What is considered MASSIVE? I think the card rewards are static. And I think cards are unbound. So I don't think you even have to collect anything. Just trade.

With this I totally agree. I have my old bag, don't know if cards go in it. But even if they did, it still has one of each of the anniversary cards so I can use the cards to add them to my gallery.

The formatting of the table isn't great for reading or updating. I tried to change the code to make it more systematic, but someone changed it back almost immediately.

Level 6 quest on a level 5 charater and mimics acid dot and goo, really nasty if you dont kill them fast.

[Ranidae]

As a replacement for Mabar, this event is terrible.

As added content, it is okay...
It could be good with bunch of changes.

This event needs its own loot.
Heck, can even use some existing loot (Bottle of Air, Murlynd's spoon, level 20 potions, etc.)

Then bring back Mabar. (best event, ever)

To avoid the event, I have to run to Hall of Heroes everytime I log in a character?
And then that screws with everyone I party with.
That's weird.

Event might discourage partying by making players only play with half of the player-base. (Mimic vs. No-mimic)

Mimics are interesting because they are fairly rare.
Keep spawn rate low, but increase mote drop amounts for higher challenge rating.

Mimic Frenzy ?
I played 5+ hours, never saw one. Someone told me there was one, but saw no announcement.
Bad for players in slower time zones... just make it happen every 130 minutes.
How about adding an announcement icon when it's active, so we don't miss it?

card I + vIII = Potion of Irian's light

http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Potion_of_Irian%27s_Light

[FuzzyDuck81]

I think it'd be cool if it was set up with maybe 4 different loot tables (probably coded back-end as mabar mimic, anniversary mimic, etc. duplicate versions of the event & it's just a matter of which one is switched on when the event goes live) then it'd be more like a "the mimics have gotten into the mabar treasure chamber!" or "oh no, the mimics found the anniversary loot!" etc. & it'd help mix things up a little while also being relatively less coding effort than a load of entirely new events. Also, by having different loot tables but the same cards, it'd mean that even if you didnt want eg. mabar items specifically, you could just keep them for the next event where there might be stuff you *do* want.

[moomooprincess]

not sure why you would try to do any of these things?

Because I was hoping my 53,000 motes of night would have some use.

If 53,000 Motes of Night somehow converted into 53,000 Lost Motes, then I would have had 5300 cards.

Now, ask yourself, how long is it going to take you to grind 5300 cards?

I just thought I would share with others what I tried in hopes that someone would have found a way to convert them.

To avoid the event, I have to run to Hall of Heroes everytime I log in a character?
And then that screws with everyone I party with.
That's weird.

Event might discourage partying by making players only play with half of the player-base. (Mimic vs. No-mimic)



Actually if you have the repellent but other people don't...if they touch the chest first...you'll get a mimic. I'm sorry but unless you solo or only play with friends who will respect your option to not want mimics...you're pretty much stuck with them.

oh and that is WAI (check out the Mimic Guide)
