stealable rares plans

[funtimesuo]

I hate to bother staff for information, but could we get an update on current plans for the stealable rares system? A lot of players have kept quiet and waited really patiently and we're looking forward to some more info!

5/7/2013
"I believe that the new scripting system I am finishing up will provide the tools necessary to introduce rares in a more novel way... It's definitely on the near horizon"

6/11/2013
"we can start doing some really great stuff (more random chest spawning with lockpicker specific rares, stealable rare spawning (or maybe even just sitting there to be pulled up)"

8/22/13
"added new Rares system (with uberscript and xmlspawner hooks)"

8/23/13
"RareSpawns are removed until the expansion. We are adding an entirely new system. The new rares will not be in the same places either."

9/2/2013
"Also at the moment you can't even get the daily/monthly/weekly rares because we disabled them. We have a new rare system coming in the expansion."

10/30/2013
"With the expansion coming in, we have revamped all the rares and how they are spawned and put them into different catagories basically."

11/8/2013
"some rare system updates and fixes (for the expansion)"


11/30/2013
"- Adding a new rare list for over-world mobs and spawn.
- New daily/weekly/monthly rares (expand upon current system greatly).
- Allow for randomized spawns."

1/21/14
Keep in mind what we have now with the RDA's, RARES, BOATS, BOD's ETC, will all be expanded on in the current weeks, INTENSELY....

1/21/14
"gives us the ability to add unreal content "on the fly", and really random unique spawns, items, rares, you name it. The hard work is SOLID, and FINISHED."

2/28/14
"The dungeon is unique in the sense that it will have scripted events and encounters...as well as fantastic rewards/rares! Riches and glory to the conquering faction!!!"

4/13/14
"The Stealable rares/rares loot table was kinda on hold for the expansion as well."

4/25/14
"TRUE RARE IMPLEMENTATION(FINALLY):
(coming soon)"

it will come thats for sure. i think after Pvp / Armor etc is well balanced and worked out.. They working on Pvm (loottable adjustment / Collectiables / Raresystem ) but im not sure.. Just a guess.

I am not going to be using Alan's new system. However, I am going to be focusing on crafting/rares immediately after these pvp changes. I will be devoting the same attention to it that PvP is getting now, so expect a lot of changes/fixes/overhauls!

Sounds sexy, so what you mean by 'Alan's system' is the random location world spawning system? That seemed like a pretty solid idea. I'm curious what you have planned to take its place?

From what I understand, Alan's system wasn't really perfect either, as rares would not be located in sensible locations.

IE. a marble table placed in the middle of the street in Minoc. Completely out of place.

 

[Asan_Drakus]

Well, when they all got turned on, I actually found 100% of them on dungeon floors. For whatever that info is worth. I'm insanely curious to see what the new plan is, since I know they spent a lot of time and hype on the random system.
