Bug report: No +4 tomes dropping in Epic Chronoscope

[maddmatt70]

Yes, this is a bug in my opinion. +4 tomes should drop in Epic Chronoscope as they do in the other two epic raids. There is no reason +4 tomes do not drop; hence, this must be a bug.

+4 tomes should drop in there I agree! Though I am still better then you norg!

[Bodic]

Uhm it is not a Bug.

they should chance drop +5's actually as they are all lvl 23+ quests or raids

[Shade]

Agree.

tho they should also put other things epic raids, or just end game raids in generally have in there..

Like a lockout (aside from the epic one, which never prevents you from just switching to an alt and going again). and more severe penalties for death in the boss fight. Like a soulstone teleport, boss hp regen, extra adds.. Something to prevent ppl from just rezzing thru it.

Because the challenge now is on the lvl with lower lvl raids like hound/vod/shroud given a reasonable group layout ( well more like vod then hound, sinces there zero tactics required, and zero skill for everyone except maybe the tank).... Spekaing of hound, id put +4 tomes in hound elite, its challenging enough to warrant em. Which only drop +3 tomes. So as is, i'd say +3.. Add some more severe penalties for deaths or failure and maybe it should warrant +4s.

Or +3 BTA as BTA seems to be a common theme for the stuff in there.

they should just get rid of BTA imo

BTA is no consolation to some of us out there ;P

Though I managed to make sure my $60 went a long way, only buying during discounts and that.

throw a brothel in the harbor while you're at it.

There's already a brothel and its called the Lobster Pit.

/end derail, sorry

I have never pulled a +4 tome and I do many many epic raids and tod hard/elite. Stupid.

[Palantyr]

Yeah, the raid you can skip the 3 day timer on should drop +4s. That would be awesome.

[Slink]

lol.

And the droprate for +4 books would be small in comparison to the already arbitrary scroll droprate.

Over 110 runs for a epic Elyd.
Near 200 for just a scroll and seal of Gloves of Claw...

Someone made a great comparison earlier in a Hound run:

"I killed 20 hounds to get what I wanted."

Sound vaguely familiar to another MMO??

Since strategies for eDQ2 have improved, Epic Chrono is the hardest of the epic raids (and by far the longest). It should have the best tome chances.

I also agree with Shade - HoX is the hardest raid to beat on Elite, it's silly that ToD elite is easier and has better tomes (as well as better loot overall). That said, the highly desired HoX shields have a very high drop rate on Elite, and most builds should aspire to owning one of these for situational use, so there is some incentive to run it on elite occasionally.

When pugging, Von6 is the hardest for me. Many people just don't react fast enough if the bard happens to die. Or thye recall out at first sign of trouble...

Epic Chrono, myself and 2 guildies can pug 9 spots and complete. The end fight of Chrono can be hard or very easy depending on who is doing CC and tanking. Just my experience.
