Re: Huge disconnect between loot designers

But that is not a bad thing that dominant clan doesn't camp event boss day n night. Because lesser clans can now kill these bosses n get the drops which they can't get from necro n mordy. So I think otm is also trying to be more inclusive when they came up with these drops. So my suggestion is avalon stop killing every spawn n let other clans have it like what resurgence is doing.

We have 2 powerful clans on gwydion, our clan has more kills than their clan (I know that this is true for the 6* event boss for sure by 1 or 2 kills) and we have about 5-6 godly drops so far actually, unsure about the other clan.... So the godly rate on gwydion seems somewhat higher than past events..... Too bad the loot is still $#1+.... They cant have the same people making the same loot for bosses, that would be impossible at how OP some items are and how some items are total crap.... Arguably, Garanak sets are still the best and that was a year ago.. Im glad they are actually having lasting items, but im pissed that they filled a whole year up with crap that no one wants for the most part.... Shame

Garanak sets are great, many of the spider drops are great also. Obelisk had some decent rings, braces and weapons although the bosses were a bit op.

This time the loot reminds me of last fall were nothing was useful and those zealot rings still haunt me. It's not that terrible, it's ok if you missed out on the last year of events.

Btw we have a godly Mage brace on taranis it's not too bad.

Isnt this what your clan members wanted? Event bosses to have loot worse than that of the end game bosses?
There's a not so fine line between having event loot better than raid drops and having it be junk with the most rare drops equaling the worst raid drops. However based on this loot you would think that line is microscopic since OTM clearly missed it. Also raid bosses have never dropped charms, offhands, amulets, or armour (excluding helms) all of which could be added to event loot tables, along with having new boosts to items such as a percentage regen, percentage damage increase, increase haste by x (high amount) but have damage be reduced by x% (equal out dps), or other variations of this. OTM just seems to be sticking to the same old stuff though and not keeping a very good balance between lux, raid loot, and event loot.

Lots of good and varied feedback here and I agree with some of them. Let me respond to some.
Are you going to stop killing the boss after that?
Nope, we will keeping killing because we want the charms which give the reduction cooldown like Hrungnir Shadow Skulls and after 2 years of killing Hrungnir we only have 8 and no Voids.
Yeh the grand necral ring is almost just as good as the emberdrake godly ring. Except the godly ring gives you 500 energy. But still... That's crazy.
Necral rings have focus so the Grand at 50 focus gives 313 energy, which makes the godly even worse.
Grand vs Godly? I think OTM just likes to throw the word "Godly" around and believes players will think it's very good.

Maybe it is intended that way or it has become very difficult to come up with drops that do not disturb the balance. If drops from event bosses r op it takes away the incentive to kill necro or mordy anymore. Or people won't buy lux items anymore. Also there r only so many combinations of stats n skills bonuses u can give to items. That's why we don't camp the dragon in this event as fervently anymore.
But that is not a bad thing that dominant clan doesn't camp event boss day n night. Because lesser clans can now kill these bosses n get the drops which they can't get from necro n mordy. So I think otm is also trying to be more inclusive when they came up with these drops. So my suggestion is avalon stop killing every spawn n let other clans have it like what resurgence is doing.
You really think OTM's purpose of designing Godly loot for Event bosses that's the same as crap loot for Necro is to give lesser clans a chance to get them?
Grand loot from Necro almost always gets banked, besides the odd +bow or +dagger ring. Who would wear these rings over the new lux or break their Garanak sets or wear them over Spider rings?

I don't think clan dominance in a world factors in how loot is designed. If they truly want to give lesser clans a chance, they would go back to the Ythair/Summer 2012 model.
Isnt this what your clan members wanted? Event bosses to have loot worse than that of the end game bosses?
What we wanted was luxury items to be worse than boss loot. Clearly OTM will keep making their game event-centric so IMO, event bosses no longer have any distinction from end-game bosses. It's obvious event loot is no longer a "keepsake" (like Darkflame) but a source of gear to beat future content - event or permanent.

On Belenus we can't kill Necro and rarely kill Mordris due to lack of players (not lack of high level players) you should feel lucky to have your "first world problems"
Be that as it may, I think Belenus, or any other world, would probably love it more if these items are better than the worst drops from an end-game boss.

Imo event bosses should have completly different gear, that you cant get from raid or any other bosses, such as armor, charms, and maybe weps. Otherwise they are just giving us a boss that drops what we could get from any other boss, with slightly different stats...
