Can we bring back “ambush farming” or some type of exciting thing to do while exploring as group? I think it was abused and then was nerfed into the ground while I believe it’s healthy to have something like this in the game.

For those of us who have not been here since 2007, what was ambush farming?

People would re-run Ambush objective for drops, basically one person would not complete this objective, make another game for the other players to rejoin with Ambush being spawnable, this was also done with NMNM... I would hunt NMNM solo, and then create game to let others in to help kill all and leave catacomb leaving 1 monster remaining... only problem I found with NMNM, you are basically level 70-71 and have to MQ and start from scratch again.

Edit:

You mean this?
- Recipient Heal Mastery now adds into the bonus to the amount healed if someone else heals you

Maybe I forgot to post it. (New feature for this version)


Like this idea, can you clarify the difference of the usefulness of HM on a recipient vs the healer?

same concept as farming shamans... create on a character that needs the quest and just keep spawning the quest for drops. Only done with ambush

I'm thinking about doing two phases of beta testing. The first would be on the clean dev server with the goal of getting at least 1 (hopefully more, like a full team) to master quest.

The second phase would be copying the live data to dev, doing a fake ladder reset, then having some groups do some climbs.

This will let us first double check for last minute bugs, and finally for any balance issues related to these new buffs.

I'm hoping we can start this Monday. How long it takes depends on how many testers we can get playing as much as possible to make me satisfied that any and all bugs are fixed.

I still need to wrap up the guild vault transfers, and the master quest code. The latter shouldn't take long, but the former is surprisingly complex.

There are more things I want to get done, so if I decide to start them, the start date will be pushed back accordingly.


Is there a way to sign up for the beta testing?
