15k knights!? i really hope its not like 15k glads helm. This should be interesting lol.
Wilhelm
So, does that lessen the chances of getting Golds when with a full party?
Hopefully not.
Hopefully not.

I wonder if they've done anything about the suicidal AI they also implemented yesterday. The armor bug is only part of the problem.
berlioz7
nice update.
-Loki-
My guess is 15k knights looks like the black trimmed set the guy is wearing in old ascalon.
AvyScott
I wonder who will be the FIRST person get the whole 15k Knight set and show off with pic here
kumarshah
What suicidal AI?
So, solo farming nerf is not that bad?

So basically if you're soloing...
White/purple item drops... game rolls an 8 sided dice and if it lands on 1 you get it.
Item on that list drops... game rolls a 1 sided dice and if it lands on 1 you get it. Or if you're in a party of four the game rolls a 4 sided dice.
Something like that?

Same as a couple of days ago but without the merchant-food which came to about 800g~ worth.
HolyHawk
This somehow cripples bot farming, and I guess it makes sense now. I guess that solves the problem; way to develop farming builds for hard mode now, since gold drops should drop often.
Btw, I'm not sure about purple itens, I was vanquishing old ascalon and got plenty of them, I mean it, 11 to be exact, with a hero party. Maybe just luck.

THANK YOU ANET..

Oh so thats why the hench were dying in Kryta......

That helmet for both male and female is HAWT. I'd definately buy it if it allowed for inscriptions. Too bad Anet is still being stubborn about this. Maybe when GWEN comes. Maybe never. Heres to hoping.
Winterclaw
I think this new change helps.
One question, are IDSs counted rares/greens for the purpose of scaling?

All those people who complained about ANet biting the big one and doing their own thing probably feel a bit foolish now, and if not, shame on you! Not even 24 hours after hard mode and they didnt revert back, but, made it in such a way that it should keep people happy now - and to be honest, i think the update today has lessened the use of bots later

The IDS is the only Blue item thats "Green-ish"
they really need to fix it and make it green ^^
Nemo the Capitalist
...........oh my
Miral
for shame... reverting the ant-solofarm stuff because a few people bitched... I was really looking forward to seeing the economy even out after the change but you didnt even give it a full day to see where it goes. I'm disappointed, arenanet. I think I'll pass on GWEN if it will still be ruled by solofarmers.

Farming unnerfed? Back to being just plain pissed.
Well, that 15k Knights is kinda cool. Sure beats the heck out of the 15k Glad Helm. I likes the gloves and boots.

Heroes are the best for 4-man missions though. I'm surprised how really effective a SS necro is in Hard Mode, especially early on when there are few real monks. :O

The good news is, because gold drops are exempt, and they are much more frequent now in Hard Mode, you'll be getting a whole lot more of them. That's good overall for the game because less gold is introduced by merching white items and collector junk. As long as you're facilitating trade by selling golds and upgrades, you're gaining gold that already exists. That was the intention.
