Anarki Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I found it slightly amusing last night on our official PvE server. The old Raptor Claus came to town and decided to drop some presents for the kids but... They all fell out. Two have been particularly good to each other in recent weeks too as one had only just come to the server. 'I landed first' 'I didn't see you' 'So that's ok?' 'Its an event' 'I'm not helping you anymore, you can go **** yourself' Oh, the trials and tribulations of playing on a friendly PvE server. On a serious note though, how do you guys go about it? I'm in agreement with one of the guys in that if you are clearly there first, its yours - just like the beacons'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngrySaltire Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Always was first person to a drop gets priority for me. This incident is kinda even more sad given that it's a Christmas event. Its the season to be giving not fighting over a drop Supposed to be spreading the Christmas cheer after all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarki Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 I guess the issue is that our Center PvE official server is actually quite well populated (with also about 7 or 8 new players) and when Raptor Claus only drops around 2 presents at a time (sometimes 0) then there is a rush to get to them first. I did manage to get one yesterday but did not get anything decent but others on the server have stated that they got asc this and asc that so now everyone is determined to get the drops without a second thought for others. Out goes the window of thinking of others at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still some of us out there who stop when they see others there first. I am one of them. I don't mind not getting the drops, as I know it will happen later on, just need a little patience.

It's true, not everyone will rush head first. but majority of them have that nature, and it's a sad fact. Also some people will be a jerk and tells you to back off even if you are the first to the gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been so long since I had to share drops on my server mind you, is kinda quiet. 1 minute ago, Vaculity said: It's true, not everyone will rush head first. but majority of them have that nature, and it's a sad fact.

Anarki Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Yeah, overall our server has a really good community. Its generally the players/tribes on the server who dont speak who are the obnoxious ones and drop in and take things when they werent there first. They are also the kind of players who block the obys or caves and now I have more love of the cryopods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLLuSivE Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Glad to know it wasn’t just my server lol. So much fighting over mistletoe coal and some structures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demerus Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 personally if someone is waiting under it, I move on. I'm not going to waste my time standing around a drop with 3+ other people bickering over pixels. Drops are meh, if it is a BP (which seems to be the only thing of value in the presents) If its an ally we share those for crafting anyway, no matter who gets it.

KrackenOne Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 5 present drops every 1/2 or so 20+ players on a server.....hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absinth3 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I have noticed that not all gotcha will drop loot, Wild Card is this bugged? Also the loot that does come out of the gotcha is not really worth the trouble. And for Raptor Santa, the drops are consistent ( in a bad way) how many ascendant sickles do I need. lol just wanted to see if anyone is experiencing the same thing. I love the holiday events and wish the candy could be used for taming (like the v-day event) since you are not running 2x for winter wonderland. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absinth3 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 dang, they didn't give us much did they. I will say the ascendant equipment and gear if you get any is close to max lvls. I guess thats something, but yes asc BP's are the prize here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feed this to a tamed dino for a strange effect I'm assuming it is temporary, but I have no time to test the colors from the candys in breeding.

catnip Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Maybe WC should make it so you can only open one gift during a certain amount of time so more folks have a chance to get one. I'm sure this is disheartening for new players who would like to participate. Also, maybe Raptor claus could leave a package beside your fireplace with mistletoe or Coal so folks get something during the event. It would just mean that folks would need to set up a fireplace at their base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaprosuchus Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 actually i think raptor claws should leave a red trail in the sky so you know where he has been. ALSO the loot is only so so. i have like 15 sets of ghillie now, just giving it away to people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
