Reaper and Champion Lamannia pass

[jakeelala]

I think this a false premise, and does not likely represent the view of even 5% of hardcore players.
Hardcore players are already out of bank space, and twink gear is frankly not even needed.
Many of us do not wear gear until level 11 or 12.
Why bother with a special +6 prr item so that we can use it for 3-4 levels? lol

Agreed. Most of us hardcore players don't even really TR that much except to make a new optimized build. When we do, heroics are such a joke that basic crafted gear is more than enough to get through it. Serial TR train riders are the only ones who will do this.

Agreed. It might encourage me to hit some content for a named item I want that I'm missing, with the added allure of Reaper bonuses, but other than gear I would already farm for the only reason Reaper would change what I play is perhaps Reaper XP (when we know more about it) and any changes to heroic or epic experience that also take place, not the chance to get gear with a paltry bonus that will be obsoleted in two levels on a character that, because of past lives, already burns through content with ease.

Can confirm.
This life ran with stuff from chests/end rewards until level 13, when I get to equip some decent raid gear (Abbot, VoD, Reaver, ADQ stuff). Think I haven't done a heroic TR in the last 3 years on that toon (just iconics, so most twink equip I had left is level 14+). I have over 250 BTC items in my TR cache nonetheless.

No

When you open a chest that can have a named item:

Rolls for the chance to get a named item
If you get a named item - Rolls for the chance to get a mythic item instead
If you get a mythic item - Rolls for the chance to get a higher level of mythic item instead



When you get a named item, whether it has a mythic bonus or not, it does a side roll to determine if you get a reaper bonus applied to the item as well. There will be reaper bonus items that don't have mythic, ones that have mythic, ones that have the higher tier of mythic. There will also be named items in reaper that do not drop with the reaper bonus on them.

Thanks. That's quite a lottery, but long term this is a good thing I guess.

It seems to be a point of pride even not to change out Korthos gear until as late as possible. Only the weapon matters

(And less stuff in the TR cache the better...)

So What time are they going to open Lamannia?

[Cocomajobo]

So What time are they going to open Lamannia?

Not a specific time. It will come up after we finish verifying that the build we are using doesn't have any major issues that would prevent us from opening. Rough timetable estimate: Early afternoon EST.

[Cocomajobo]

Update on the tentative timetable from earlier: Will be later than early afternoon as we've had to pull another build. This sort of thing is common with Lamma builds and why we've held off on announcing timetables as specific as this ahead of time in the past. =P

[Vanhooger]

Can we get release note at least please?

[Gannicus]

This ^^

I get that you cant release specifics on reaper but I see "champion changes" added in there and after googling, wiki'ing and foruming; if those are words......I have found no information on this. What are the changes to champs?

Thank you

It sounds like the stars will need to align for best in slot gear. What does that make the chances for getting the higher level mythic bonus and the reaper bonus to coincide? One in ten thousand? Or worse? Or is the reaper bonus supposed to be much more common that the mythic bonus?

It sounds to me like the chance for reaper bonus increases on higher difficulty, perhaps to the point where on 10 skull it would drop pretty frequently, so... who knows? We'll see when the servers come up.

[PsychoBlonde]

Hmmm... so what are some good recent helms that would be so much prettier with mythic and a +2 attribute bonus?

Executioner's Helm
Hardened Hide
Pansophic Circlet

[Jetrule]

Executioner's Helm
Hardened Hide
Pansophic Circlet

I dont think executioners or hardened hide will work because they are slave lord craftable items that add a slavers set bonus. Not sure on this of course.

They already drop with mythic bonus on them, so why not reaper bonus?

[irnimnode]

Ready to play as soon as they open.
