Since Horn Tail is bugged and is impossible to defeat and some of the skill books it drops make some classes(DK's Xbow) unable to compete against other classes DPS wise. I was wondering if perhaps a GM could summon HornTail for a Expedition that has completed all the prequest until regular HT has been fixed. Let me know what you think. what are some of the reasons why this wont work. I have not looked into the forums very much since the search function isn't optimal so sorry if someone already purposed this idea. Let me know SeaStone
This has been brought up before (too lazy to find the threads atm) but we decided against this. HT is easily killable, there are just a few bugs to work out. Once those get fixed HT should become a regular thing!
I figured i couldn't have been the only person to think of this. I'm just curious to what the actual bugs are that are holding us back from completing a HT run.
http://royals.ms/forum/showthread.php?t=5979 http://royals.ms/forum/showthread.php?t=6128 It's primarily the party lead d/c glitch. There also might be an issue with the HTPQ timer following you into the fight itself.
I've been here exactly 2 months and 11 days and that bug hasn't been fixed yet lol. I even witnessed the bug watching Manny's stream on my first day here. Will it ever be fixed?
I have been here 11 months and HT has been glitches the whole time, but I still have hope. Considerable progress has been made on the bugs actually. And many fixes are harder than you might think. It's not like the developers spend all their time in just one thing, there are many different, sometimes more pressing, issues they have to spend their volunteer time on.
As much as I'd love to have access to all Level 30 Skillbooks, we're just gonna have to wait until the GMs fix Horntail. In the mean time, just start farming some mesos and AP Resets to make Horntail Attackers.
I'm getting pretty sick of the endless "we'll fix HT soon". They've been saying that for months, and it is unfair that Br30 drops from pap and Zerk30 does not.
I'm afraid that is completely incorrect. It is unfair because the classes that don't need HT books are already at a strong advantage even if we did have HT books. Hence, the fact that we don't have these books worsen the imbalance, coupled with the fact that they do have their skills maxed. For example, a hero > zerk 30 drk. Obviously, a hero >>> a zerk 20 drk which is our current situation and is even worse. The exceptions are of course bishop and NL. It is then not unreasonable for disillusioned players to demand that this be of highest priority then, since it is an issue of balance and it has already been raised several times.
I still find it hilarious my main attacking skillbook (battleship cannon 20/30) drops from wyverns... Im sure they will fix ht eventually. They made some good progress alrdy.
I am not asking them to hurry up and fix HT. What I think is that they should admit that it is difficult to fix, and put these books onto working bosses (e.g. Krexel) instead of being stubborn about it and insisting they are going to fix the glitches. There comes a point where programmers and admins need to not be defensive, and instead need to be willing to compromise. We are getting to that point, people are getting sick of some of their skill books effectively not existing in the server. It is frustrating for me as a DrK, being unable to max my main skill due to not functioning game content, when there are compromises available if the admins were willing.
Has any Gm made a comment on why they cannot implement some of these skill books into drops for other bosses? They could at least do this until the Ht bugs have been fixed.
I believe so, in this 7 page thread about the same subject: http://royals.ms/forum/showthread.php?t=5162
So all the Dks and Xbowman are fked until the bugs are fixed? Wonderful. Well guess ill come back and play the server once HT books are obtainable.
You know HT is 160+ (to be useful) you mean you come back when someone sells you the books??? Why not take time and grind and then when you are 160 i think HT is fixed Also there are a lot of classes needing books from HT.... i think HT is going to get priority soon and will get fixed so no need to stress it.
It takes no more than a couple months to get to 160 as any class, even f you don't play every day. The one thing I worry about as well, is when they DO fix HT someday- much needed books are going to be in VERY high demand, making their prices skyrocket. In comparison, Zakum is defeated daily and yet genesis 20 is ~900mil, and triple throw 20 is also about 350mil. Most people don't need more than one, maybe two 20 books in order to pass- Maple Warrior 20/30, TT 30, gen 30, zerk30... These books among others will be in very high demand, will very likely need more than one book per person to pass- and horntail is more difficult to defeat than Zakum. It will be a while before there are enough books for all the current 4th job players to get what they need- the longer we wait the more demand increases... Prices for these books will be sky high.
Robb how come that doesn't happen with zak, which is much easier to kill? I went on at least 20 runs and still had to buy Tt20 full price. I just can't see how people won't take advantage of the huge demand and sell it for an insane price.. If it were me, I'd be trading people skill books they need for ones I need, no matter the price. That's what I did earlier- I gave a bucc barrage in return for a book I needed
It did happen to zak, when we first started killing it. So I guarantee it'll happen with HT. Even in zak now attackers get preferences on drops free of charge.
