nerfing loot based on calodan is a bit like increasing the difficulty of the balor based on M3nt's ability to naked solo it with a commoner...

Quote of the Year 2017 goes to Chad.

That is epic!

Problem is that if a boss drops less gold, that affects looters less than those who visit rarely and need a party :S.

There's ways.

You can not fix my availability of being able to kill a boss 20+ times a day bruh.......

I am sure they can fix the output of gold after x amount of hours/reset/day/etc

Maybe I am just not picturing your particular situation correctly. How do you kill a boss 20+ times a day, what does that look like?

Are you staying in the area for hours on end? Are you logging on and off? Using multiple characters?

I just dont see how it is done in a courteous way, but I admit I have never tried anything like that.

I don't break the rules at all and I generally don't screw with others either to do it. There are off times where one can easily repeat a process and farm a boss. It is not hard to do. Right now as a matter of fact with the timer off on teleport I could go from epic boss to epic boss round and round like merry go round. However the best loot process is not farming. I farm on my laundry days. Kill boss. walk out rest. Fold laundry. Walk in kill boss. Repeat. Not hard.

Is this why it is so common to do a dungeon, reach the end, and find that the boss isn't there? Cause someone else is farming it repeatedly? Not fun, and making the respawn timer longer would just make that worse.

It would be better then to make it so that every boss could spawn once per 6 hours for every player, just like a chest.

Ive been running into that a lot. Especially in the minotaur caves. Gone there like 5 times, two horn is always gone.

That would be good. If technically feasible. Just one problem... ...what is to stop them from waiting for you to spawn them, and killing your bosses too?

He killed my orc chieftan, and i had to wait about five or ten minutes for the chieftan to respawn after the boss farmer left. (when he saw me watching, just standing there, a big old genasi in armor, standing in the door, I didnt think he was exploiting, it was when I looked in his campfire and saw he left 1200 gold items.... There was a +2 CHA item in there, and a couple other ones, IIRC.

Perhaps there should be a flag set upon looting the boss the first time. If you try looting again you get nothing. I don't know if that's possible. If it was it would allow a group of 3 for example to farm a boss 3 times too, which seems fair.

So you want to get what you put in when you lose and keep what you win? That's

Standard setup for a gabling slot machine is to return some percent of the money back to the user, and not eat all of it. Say, 15 %. Likewise, they accumulate money till certain amount and only throw jackpots after that.

That's because the idea is to make the owner rich, BUT to make the user think that they can win and ensure that the user comes back.

Either way, I haven't been in gambling area yet, so I don't know what's availbale there.
