Assuming you don't get kicked out of the instance, lagged, bugged and other assorted possibilities. :)

they are lv4 vamps which take me roughly 1 min some odd seconds to place essence in the box and kill the vamp at 1.5 min x 170 = 4.25 hours of continuous killing it would be tight but not difficult :)

Plus double crits, crashes, ammo/repairing, lagging, taking a piss... Also risking keeping 5 hours free from your overall time to do the vamps, right at the end, with the knowledge that any essence you don't use will be useless in the future?

Naaaah :eyecrazy:

I've been working years skilling up and buying gear to be able to do cat 5 and be effective at it. I was excited because this is my first time really being able to go for it. I have 23 runs in so far. It's turning out to be a very expensive endeavor. There has not been a lot of return to keep me cycling without a regular external injections. I will be interested to see how it turns out. Thankfully I haven't had the crashing issues that I have seen being reported and so far my ISP has been behaving. *fingers crossed* ...

Good luck everyone! :wtg:
 
Curious if you need to be on Calypso on Monday in order to collect reward, an ideas?
 
Im bummed.....HM has ALWAYS been my favorite event in-game. This year, though, has been tainted by the hoarding of evil essence. I thoroughly enjoy the landscape, theme, and features of HM and one of those was killing the Count. I have done several hours now and no essence dropped. It takes the fun out of participating for me even though I am able to virtually hunt for free as I do fairly well ped-wise. The hoarding has driven me away and now Im headed back to Ark to do GR, where it hasn't been ruined yet.

This truly saddens me.....Hope it will be better next year....:shots:

I'm curious what you mean by hording? Are you saying some people are looting them and holding them for some reason? MA said themselves in the initial post that they could not be used after this MM? Why would someone want to horde them, I am not following the logic. Are you assuming there is only a finite number of essence to go around and if they horde them then others won't get the opportunity to try? What's your source? :scratch2:

I've been tracking my progress on lvl 5 back on page 13 when someone asked before, currently I've gotten 11 in 27 cat 5 runs. I used them as soon as I got them so I could try to loot something off the Count, so far only candy... but w/e. As a player, I want to play and win something. I can't imagine going through all the work of trying to loot an essence ( 11 in 27 tries ) off a pumpkin just to sell to someone else, or put it in storage for who knows what reason, its not worth it to me.
 
on the time again

I'm assuming when u get over 40 hours u'll get discqualified for the event prizes (like the first 15 places) but not for the bonus ammo (10k, 15k, 20k points) at least that sounds the most logcial to me as otherwise I don't see many people finishing the 20k one. I just nearly got it done in 40 hours (might be a little over since there is no actual timer and I dc'd 1 or 2 times).
I grinded my way through the dogs in lvl 5 and just nearly didn't finish it in 40 hours. That being said my dps is way above the average dps of people doing the mayhem (not counting in the rings and pills)
I hope I'm right here cause I don't wanne see my 20k points reward going to shit for maybe exeeding the time by 30 min.
If it is so well it's their fault for not orginazing it correctly and I (together with many) will be quite pissed...

I and many other have found it to be very worthwhile in the past years. I usually make several K ped for the duration of the event. This year is a lot more work but still profitable. The stupid low caps were put in place by MA so people don't horde hundreds and then bitch about not being able to use them next year. Sucks but oh well.

Didnt you only just "come back"?

Anyway, hopefully I'll get the 30hrs I need this weekend.... Working 15hr days during mayhem is not helpful

Hold on a second,

Weren't the ped prizes the reason for 0 CLD payment?

I know people were doing it multiple times, but still it proved ped prizes come directly from the revenue share.

But wasnt the problem rather that the drop rate for snowflakes was totally off? Almost everyone was able to make atleast +/- in the beginning of that event?

Yes, but they always have been. The big issue was the amount of times people were receiving the UA, not the initial prizes.

Prizes are paid for by calypso profit earnings. They paid out far more than they realized because

1) The prizes too good.
2) People had previous year missions that also got compensated while doing the current year. So double bonus.
3) Trading stars for UA got exploited with alts and it exceeded revenue

So, should this event be a failure, CLD owners WILL suffer because Calypso will have earned no profit.

4th lowest CLD payout ever.

Still think ped prizes are a good idea?

Better than UL spam, and although I can relate to CLD owners, I dont feel sry for them, they can now sell for more than ever if wish to do so. Some kind of consumnable prizes would be better imo but thats just my thought

I don't own any CLDs, so yes, I do. I find playing the game and receiving a PED prize more enjoyable than holding a deed and receiving an un-earnt ROI.

I assume you refer to this weeks cld payout.

Is it so strange that this week had a low payout? Wasnt that due to the fact that the prizes were payed out this during the previous week and gold rush started on arkadia?

I don't think this is at all like the situation during Merry Mayhem 2015 if thats what you're trying to say. The UA bonus this mayhem wasn't at all like it was during MM 2015.

Strange game within the game that motivates people to play at not playing the game :laugh:
