Uber: Kim|Calypso dropped the loot! [2856.70 PED] xD

Sub-Zero said:
That's all well and good, but next time don't be so freaking lazy and split the loot into smaller stacks so at least a few lucky souls can get it, not only one.

Yeah.

With hindsight, probably better to have

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

than

:yay:

However, LC was the lucky one (what's in a name?) and no offence to him, it could have been any of us.
 
If the problem can't be corrected then why spawn those mobs. I know many enjoy hunting them but if they cause these sorts of problems why bother especially if people were happy hunting the smaller ones.

The only solution to crashes would be if these mobs had their info backed up every few minutes so that if anything does happen to the server the players only lose a little time and ammo rather than everything up to that point. If players are expected to spend a few hours attacking a mob then backing up it's state every few minutes would help.

Backup the state of the mobs on the server and when the server restarts it reloads them, if it's limited to certain types or to max HP levels then it will reduce the resources required.

Yeah that's extremely screwed up to be going out looting mobs and handing the loot out to whoever you feel like rather than deleting it from yourself or compensating the major mob no-loots.

That was indeed the case in the past however it has been possible to loot creatures killed with this gun for a long time now.

saying one thing; then changing the rules on a whim is a fantastic way of destroying the fragile trust in this enterprise :wise:
 
No comment! please read sig :proof:

ps. sry Kim couldn't resist.
 
That the employee should be able to kill the mobs quickly that i can understand and if the mobs standing in the way and they have a work to do in the game but why should they be able to loot the mob, there i cant see the point of it.:scratch2::scratch2::scratch2:

It was a shared loot mob and more people than Kim shot it - though he told them not to. So I assume he had no control over the mob looting. He wanted to remove it because of the previous no-looters (on the same maturity) and spawn lower maturities - thus wanting to save players from a further loss.

Likewise I doubt he could have shared it out fairly - there was 100 people or so stood around him, and quite a few of them just spectators who didn't even shoot any of the mobs.

So they can drop the loot on the ground for their alt or their friend (or friends alt) to pick up.

Throw something shiny on the ground for them to talk about, and they forget the real issues.

Wait? what just happened here? :wise::dunce:

There were many players that lost PEDs due to several server crashes as well as no-looters on creatures that quite frankly shouldn't have them. I decided to remove the biggest creatures by killing them myself and spawn smaller instead and I tossed the loot on the ground.

Well, any timeline on getting the no loot bugs on the big mobs fixed now that it has been clearly demonstrated?
 
Fuck him.

Really. Not literally, but... fuck him.

Imagine a boss at a casino playing craps, or roulette or whatever, for his "free chips". Then when he hits a big one he yells "I'll just drop these here" and drop a bucket of them on the floor for anyone lucky enough to be where he was at the time.

It clearly displays that MA (as this fucker is not only representing Planet Calypso AB, but MA as a whole) are in severe violation of the lottery inspection's (Lotteriinspektionens) rules and regulations, and most likely also violating the law.

If anything, he's displayed the same kind of intelligence that seems to run in the family, and should IMNSHO be fired by the board. Immediately.

Assclown.

Sounds like a good promotion.

Also I think it wasn't his free-time activity with "free chips" but part of the work. Hardly he uses a "v.Marco" for personal entertainment.

I haven't read the whole thread, just the headline and felt compelled to comment.

Is it verified he used the "Marco gun"? Wasn't that supposed to never give any loot?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

As he "removed" L4190 Purgers, it definitely wasn't whatever he uses in his leisure time.

Edit -Ah well, Svarog got in there first :p
 
Gz to the looter but this whole event has been a huge cluster f#$^ Giant boss mobs no looting again and again! Remember the no loots on boss mobs before? Still not fixed. Free spawn of the hussk just to screw a few more people for good measure.

Anyone defending MA is in serious denial.

(end of rant)

Thanks.
 
By now it is quite clear that Kim-Calypso should have handled the situation differently. But I believe a lot of us have been in awkard situations before and handled them poorly, and while reflecting on them discovered that we could have done a lot of things differently-better.

I dont't doubt the sincerety in his actions, nor do I think there was any bad intentions but that he honestly wanted to provide a fun event for those around him and didn't like ppl to leave dissapointed.
And I am sure that next time something similar happens he will take the time to spread the loot in smaller stacks and thus make more players happy lol.

With that being said, I also have to agree that spawning the Hussk was a TERRIBLE idea. Since that is a very special mob that requires a lot of effort to spawn, you really can't just spawn it out of the blue,it doesn't-shouldn't work that way, even with the best intentions in mind.

However, the real issue here and the biggest problem is the no-loot bug on the high hp mobs, this should be corrected ASAP.Imho the chances should be not 1/10000 but 0. Mobs with a lot of hit-points should always give out loot, and I don't mean novas lol.

Bear in mind that what pissed off a LOT of people and 'forced' Kim-Calypso to make the mistake of spawning the Hussk was the occurence of the 2 no-loot purgers. If that didn't happen, things would have worked out smoothly, I presume.

P.S. I wasn't on calypso that day so my knowledge of what transpired is limited to what I read on forum.

I agree with your analysis (but only Kim can really confirm this).
We all make mistakes in life (assuming too, Kim was taken by the moment of two no looters).
I guess all have been said about this 'event'
 
Since there a lot of different kind of weapons used, it would be interesting to see what
would happen if only weapons with really high damage and fast reload were used.
If we look at ordinary mobs, its way more often crap loot when using a weapon
with low stats, than when we use a "balanced" weapon for that mob.
My guess is that there too many with weapons that do incorrect (=inefficient)
build up for loot... but who knows, just some thoughts of mine. :) ;)
 
Yes the hussk is a special mob but when is the last time anyone organized a summon of it? Pretty much too long ago if you ask me. But there's the huge costs to arrange it all. Wish I had been there when it spawned lol. Must have been fun. It probably won't get spawned as user controlled mob anymore after this introduction.

As for the lucky one to be at the right place on the right time I can quote this from my chat log:

So he gave a heads up of what to do if there was going to be a hof, although he did not expect this to happen clearly. The element of surprise probably influenced his decision combined with the fact over 100 ppl were present to drop such a large stack. In no-time people started gathering around him and yes this included me; I ran right up there lol

It could have been 15 ped for everyone too, in which case people would complain about dps and how to split, but now it was more like a lottery. We were all warned in advance at least. It was my lucky day though! ;p

Sorry I posted this thread a bit by now though because of the negativity around.

I don't think anyone is blaming you Gally. Grats on your good luck but there is no way this should have ever been allowed to happen.
 
Kitty: jealous? me no. I agree with Tamlin's example so read what he said few posts back.
Luckycharm or anyone who looted items from kim i congrat and have nothing against. It is how the situation was handle.

Kim, you are a 'boss' or a person with highest authority for MA/Calypso but look at your action. You casually tossed thousands of peds on the ground so anyone can pick it up without a single regard.

Imagine a typical office staff with low morale. The boss walks in for the first time all month...sets $300 on the ground for one person to pick up. Everyone in the office is totally happy now right?
 
This is bullshit!!!!

How the fuck wasnt it a WSS member picked up the loot? Kim you made a mistake :D

Gally best go to soc terminal to correct this mistake and apply to WSS asap
 
I think what concerns me most is, just prior to this ground drop hof.
MA said "we operate these user controlled mobs under a strict set of guidelines"

apparently somewhere in those rules, its ok to drop hof level loot, on the ground for your "random" buddy to pick up.

im just saying if ND had done this with a kong there would be a witch hunt right now.
