You underestimate the neckbeards on the server. People will keep camp and just load up accounts full of masks.

It won't be and everyone will have one

But the problem is everyone can see all the patch notes and can see when items either got banned or got nerfed. So this will allow players to farm the same camp over and over...

Probably the best thing to come out of it is these items will over flown on the market and won't be worth a damn...

You sure about that? I was here from P99's day 1 and the pre-nerf guise was decidedly rare. The Serrated Bone Dirk was the common drop at the time. Yes, I know that was backwards from correct era-appropriate rates--but that's how it was on P99 at launch. The community would like it if the prenerf guise has its correct drop frequency on "green" but I don't feel that should necessarily be assumed until proven through observation. Might be better to make plans under the assumption of it being rare. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

I think they mistakenly thought it was the rare drop back then. Even when it switched to the Mask of Deception the dirk was still the common drop for awhile until I submitted a bug report for it. If they keep it classic and make it the common drop then 12-15 a day is probably a fairly accurate number which means we are looking at around 2000+ guises before it gets removed.

I'd be surprised if the guise was made a rare drop due to it being pretty well known that it was the common drop now.

Divide 2000+ by 8 for the alts for the amount of people who might actually get it.

As an owner of 2 prenerf CoS's, I think there's going to be hundreds of guised characters on the server this time around...good luck <3

Dark elf master race anyway, just play one and enjoy the best faces 100% of the time [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I want a dark elf Ranger more than anything but I have a feeling that Rangers are going to be the hardest class to get a mask for

I never cared about guises on live, and I don't now. Totally useless item. The best way to skip a stupid camp is to not be stupid. Manastones are marginally more useful...but not that much. While you guys are all fighting over those two items, the rest of us will be camping stuff that actually makes a difference. Like an FBSS. Now, that's actually worth a bunch of nerd drama.

Everyone's operating on the assumption that Green99 will 1. be a new server, 2. be a classic timeline server, 3. have a classic loot table and loot drop timeline
