Thread: Gauntlet Information Megathread

    Gauntlet Information Megathread

    The machine hums softly. A display reads: -Needs Novictalized Crystals-


    all it says, i made raid group to raid pande, someone found a mob with key to enter. but hes not spawnign anymore.. so what we do? funcom wanna piss us all off by try get us wait there for houers since its unknown on how to do this atm

    ok so now we got some more info. thou i wanna ask kintaii for this insted, atleast consider this!!

    make this gauntlet spawn each 12 or 24 houer. he has to spawn ont he same time each day i think.. becose it makes it allot more easyer for evryone to set time to get there.

    when each time evry 17 houer... it makes random time. i just gues now but maybe 50-60% of the people here has irl work, and the rest dont. so the people who dont do much irl gets the best benefits to get stuff before evryone else. i know this a big whine.. but seriously... please consider a spawn on each 12 or 24 houer or so, or make a vote on front login page on when that spawn time should be set that fits the highest % of the comunity

    anyways i beg for a 12 houer spawn, that makes evryone get the chanse more or less atleast 1 time each day

    From what i've read on a few fwm there is supposed to be 3 ways to "continue" some sort of ladder, so i'm guessing there are 3 of these mobs spread across pande that you can kill to go to stage 1, other than that i'm currently hanging in pande looking at TSS, we'll see if some1 find more of those mobs or something.

    Yes,

    Vizaresh
    Level: 300
    Danger level:
    Trying to kill this alone will almost certainly result in your death.
    Might attack you on sight.

    One of the portal mobs, quite near the incarnator on the ledge. I belive others are in similiar nooks...

    One mob (Vizaresh), on a 17h timer - When he dies, he drops a portal which will allow entrance for the next five minutes. We have a 'broadcast' feature ready for announcing when the mob spawns, but it didn't make it into this update - That will be in the next build we make. =)

    Aye, there'll be a 15m10m delay between when the broadcast announcement and when the mob becomes attackable. =) The short time exist on the portal is intended, but if it becomes a serious issue as people figure out the instance/timing/etc. etc. then we'll look into adjusting it.

    Spam 30/15/5mins before pop would be kinda usefull.
    And hey, it would be nice if you popped a few of those mobs randomly so we get to try it out, just for a few days or so

    I don't wanna clog everyone's system window with a lotta spam announcing mob spawns, but we are looking into a slightly better solution for letting people know when long-spawn mobs are getting ready to pop. =)

    well 1 thing.. make sure you tell 1 houer before spawn then and then 30 mins and then 10 mins..

    becose we need time to gather etc.. also if anyone likes after sometime. people can log there and ruin for evryon in ao by camping that guy and gank him before peopel reach gather and 5 mins later... people have to try agein in another 17 houers

    i dont like how this works at all to be honest, a little dumb thing.
    it be better if the gauntlet was a little easyer and fair to enter than this. thou if funcom wants more ingame drama and petitions.. well this is the way to go.

    The main problem is the 17h respawn on Portal Mob

    The 17 hour spawn timer is intended. There is absolutely zero difference between a boss mob that is on a long spawn timer and... well, a boss mob that is on a long spawn timer. The only difference here is that the people who kill, say, Tara get to loot Tara. People who kill Vizaresh get to loot stuff inside the instance. People have been asking for a reason to go back to non-instanced Pandemonium for a while now, and there really isn't any difference between this and, say, any other mob spawning on a long timer. So the long spawn timer is very much intended. =)

    a window, similar to lft window, might be interesting. people can search locally, by level, or even globally, and "name", "spawn time," and "level" could be the columns. or, you know, instead just spam people constantly.
    wtf happened to my avatars eyebrows?

    I used to listen to Dubstep in the 90's... every time I connected to the internet.

    True, also, back in the days before ipande we used to have bot(s) with timers on all mayor mobs like zods/tnh/beast so this is not different, just that the rewards are further ahead and you have to kill stuff on the way (i'm guessing)
    Tara is also a good exaple on a timed mob, etc etc.
