Suggestion with regard to the new raid loot mechanic

[narizue]

Just as an idea(which may have been mentioned in another thread, but which I would like to make the focus of this thread.) with regard to the new mechanic for raid loot end rewards to be implemented in mod 5.

It is my understanding that if you have completed a raid exactly 20(or a multiple there of) times prior to Mod 5s launch that you will not receive a raid loot end reward until you have completed 20 more raids.

It is also my understanding that mod 5 will also have a command line or something similar that will let you check your number of times completed on raids.

Is it at all possible to have this second feature hotfixed into the game a week before the Mod is launched just to prevent discontent from players who would be negatively impacted?

Or they could just have it reset on the day of the release... that way people won't be struggling to get their 19/20 done prior to that day...whenever it will be

I would like credit for the numerous raids I've done. I'd prefer it not be reset. If you have more than 20 (and Turbine has kept track) then give everyone over 20 the reward, and reset their counters to zero after that. If my historical counter reset at 20 in Turbine's records, then at least give me credit for what is on record. I don't agree with Aesop.

Well, the "reward after 20 raids" goes hand in hand with the new loot mechanic - so, in my opinion, the 'reward counter' should start when the new mechanic goes live.

It has nothing to do with giving or taking away credit.

Seriously...I'll be a little ticked if I have to rerun those raids X number of times, when I've been farming the heck out of them 30+ times for a couple peices of loot.

Put this in a website, you log and check your raid count of your account.

C'mon, one junior web development guy will lost 2 hours doing a simple webpage with this infos removed from your DB:

server name / character #1 / raid name / # of kills
server name / character #2 / raid name / # of kills
server name / character #3 / raid name / # of kills
server name / character #4 / raid name / # of kills

make the community happy.

Assuming they've modded in the command when they bring Risia back up with the character merge, you can check then. They should say what day the characters are from, so you can extrapolate how many more raids you've ran since then and figure out the math that way.

Didn't think anywone would.

Doesn't change my opinion though. Having people going crazy about it then due to a delay no one is running raids for a month I could see it now. "Oh no they pushed back the release now I can't play for a month." A fresh start would leave eeryone on level ground... of course that's just my opinion and in no way shape or form means you have to agree I understand that you want to have a faster shot at your raid loot

I was going to start a similar thread myself, but since you already did...

Either give us a raid counter we can see before Mod 5 hits (the sooner the better of course), or give everyone who's over 20 completed raids their pick of the raid loot the next time they run it.

I don't agree with your post nor your tone one lick...but, ****, that painted a funny picture. Couldn't help but laugh.

Wow, just wow.

I've been here since the first day of headstart, and have been running Titan raids since it came out a year ago. I don't run one every week, or with the same character, but it's quite possible that I've run at least 20 so far, or am very close to 20. I don't run near as much as I could, and run it more because I like the quest and the people I run it with.

However, I have put that time into that raid, and other raids. Why should someone who's run it less times than I have, possibly because they haven't been playing the game as long, have to run a raid less times than me to get a guaranteed chance at raid loot?

All we're asking is for them to make a quick patch so some of us that have been playing the game for a long time can know where we stand when it comes to these raids. It would better if anyone that's run a certain raid more than 20 times would get their raid loot end reward, but if they can't do that, we should at least get some forewarning of how many raids we've run so far.

everyone is entitled to their own opinion and im glad though you disagree with my view I made you chuckle

So have I in case you think Im some recently joined newb trying to keep all the "head starters" down. You ran the raid in the past, and you had a guaranteed 2 drops on each of those raids, you didnt have a 1 in 6 chance, and THAT is why you should get no special treatment when the new policy goes into effect.

Everyone is on equal footing with the mod 5 change, no one will have access to 2 guaranteed drops, they get a chance at loot, and the "tally" should start then.

Fur, thats it, I am telling on you... eating all those Big Mac's. We all know the real power is the Hot Pocket.

What do I look like I am Anorexic. Man if I get a cup of noodles I want it the size of the bucket on top of the local Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Frankly, there's a HUGE difference between being guaranteed 2 pieces of raid loot per run distributed across 12 people at times, and being guaranteed a choice of half the raid loot items for yourself alone to choose from. Plus the fact that the raid loot ratio technically isn't changing for the individual in that you still receive raid loot 1 in 6 times.

It's funny how some people go with "Lets all be on equal footing and have nothing" when really it's not what's truly fair.

I am going to need a beer before I try to figure this post out.
