Last night around 11pm est in WL the zone crashed and came back up but after that, the spawn rate of elders seemed to have deminished, i have been here going on 13 hours now and there has only been 1-4 elders spawn ever 2-3 hours and that's including the named/ph.
this may be speculation but due to over farming i strongly believe they have slowed the spawn/drop rate of the elders and beads

I can confirm before the zone Crashed, we were getting 8-10 elders spawning in the cave per hour. between 5:25am and 7:25am est we only see 1 elder in the 2 hours and the rate of strong branches have decreased as well there has been only 1 raider in the last 6 hours. This spawn has officially been nerfed. done believe me go waste your time in the cave.

/Tinfoil_hat on
ok proceed with thread
If you were seeing 8-10 elders AN HOUR, that was far, far better rate than they were on Beta.
Early beta numbers:
153 kills, 8 elders
139 kills, 13 elders
172 kills, to get beads, not sure # of elders

I camped my beads for 12 hours in the cave. They dropped off the 20th Elder. I'll let you go ahead and do the elder rate per hour math there, but it sure wasn't 8-10.
The RNG hates you. That's Everquest.
Anytime the RNG has fun with you, people come swarming to the forums to post bug threads.
We have people posting 2x loot tables claiming drop rates are screwed. How can you base anything off of 2 kills?!
Looking at you, Dald

On beta I got my beads in 5 minutes and wasn't even aware this was a long camp until I read the forums. That's the random number generator for you.

What are people thinking these are going to be worth post-nerf? Not sure if my wife would allow me to keep my balls if I suggested playing eq for 20 hrs straight.

I've got 2 posts, the Derakor one I just wanted to check on.
That aside I'm correct on the other one. Bosses are dropping incorrect #'s of loot. Tormax should drop 3+Head minimum up to 5 loots. He currently can drop 2+Head, that's wrong.
Statue also can drop just 2 items, should be 3 minimum.

Took me 16 hours in early beta.
I think your sample size is too small to make arguments.

I love how you use the term "Officially", when its just you that are claiming it.
Right or wrong, it wont ever be officially nerfed unless its announced by the Staff
Took me about 11 hrs over 2 sessions on beta and I had the whole cave to myself. Do the smart thing and trade a fungi for some beads and get on with your life.

Since WL zone crashed, FD is failing more often, and my spells fizzle more! WTF!
P.S. My fungi tunic is now "No Drop"!?!!?!?

Don't have to recharge stalking probes.

Splurt now more broken than before, bug report at the bottom of the pile below making wizards happy by putting their ports on merchants.

Uh, lack of Velious armor textures is clearly priority number one. What's the point of playing if I don't get to wear a ridiculous helmet?

23/24 hours have gone by without a drop. Elders are spawning less often as well dropping the Beads more rarely (compared with xpac launch).

10 bucks says this is a lie in order to drive the price of the beads up.

Considering I gave up after 24 hours with no beads, why would I drive the price up on something I don't have but want?
I'll take that 10 bucks. Paypal's fine. PM me.
