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 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

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.

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.

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)

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.

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??? ^^

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

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.

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.

How long can we expect it to go on for?
