Is this going to cause a server reset? POL's website is blocked where I work.

 

[Aangeliceus]

Does not indicate a server reset. (i.e. Maintenance)

It seems if anything, they'll bring the zone down for 10 minutes or so and then bring it up again.

It seems if anything, they'll bring the zone down for 10 minutes or so and then bring it up again.

According to the chat log via my mules, that's exactly what they did!

 

[Lexa]

Hee hee, I feel for those poor suckers on Leviathan.

 

[Tarnak]

Why? they didnt listen to the npc.

 

[Eticket]

lol

they can just farm another Pandy set... easy prey right? right?

 

[Benny]

The GM is giving it back to them, it's not the end of the world, and I think everyone kinda wanted to pick on them anyway for going 1/1 on all 3 fkin pop items, lucky assholes.

I wanted to pick on them for being idiots

NPC said to go to Aeydeewa (sp)... and they went to Wajaom... it seems pretty black and white to me.

 

[Tarnak]

I love their arguement. "we assumed that it would teleport us" yammer yammer yammer "anyone else would have done it" i just thought to myself "NO I would have thought "HAY NPC SAYS THIS maybe he's onto something"

 

[Benny]

I don't have a beef with that. If the shit doesn't work, it's understood you don't lose your item, and then you just go to Aydeewa like you planned all along. I honestly think we woulda done the same thing, just because it's closer, which is pretty much the reason it sounds like they did it too.

[Eticket]

I seriously hope we wouldn't have done the same thing. I agree that it sucks the pop 'worked'... but no one in their right mind can make any kind of argument that Aydeewa Subterrane = Wajaom Woodlands. Again, the npc conversation, the DATs and the pics of the ??? are all pretty clear.

I'll grant there was a fault in the system. They got damn lucky that's what it ended up being though. What if it was a ??? for a Goblin Archaeologist type mob? Would we feel any sympathy for them then?
