After 5 hours of killing Nomads across 3 zones, I managed to raise 11 birthday items. Thanks for the event but with this droprate...only a tard would waste 100 playtime hours for a set of armor you only use maybe once.
Maybe, instead of having a fun social event, I can call 4 shades and a trader and just win loot on the Rider every time, allowing me to sell lootrights.

Just so you know. I was also there when we spawned the first rider this year. We had a full RI and won the loot.

That didnt stop us getting ninjalooted however.

I brought there a flag yesterday, it was way better than battlestation.

The paths I took to each tower site was fairly direct and definitely over desert terrain, so I have a hard time believing you.

You also state that nomads are not focused around tower sites, which is clearly a mistake because I have seen them at tower sites. So whats the story chief?

There are no nomads.

Aren't 3 spawning Nomads per Towerfield not enough to keep the fun at 100%??

More low level Desert Nomads have found their way in to the desert!
Due to an error, the lower level nomads have the correct drop chance for birthday items but the high level ones do not. We apologize for this bug, it will be fixed next year. But for this year, we have just invited more low level nomads to the party. Hopefully some low level players will also benefit from this.

Enjoy.

Cool beans! Does this also apply to the ones in Broken Shores?

I love how much testing.... why not do an emergency patch or extend the amount of time theyre around? What a joke.

Are you sure lower level ones have the right drop rate?

Killed around 50 in NLD quickly to check and only got 4 tinker items. That still makes around 3000 kills to get a set.

Yes, thank you for spawning more of the lvl 1 nomads near NLD whompa! However, most are being killed by high-lvl toons waiting for Desert Rider spawn.

Is there any chance the lvl 1 nomads could spawn in additional locations? Newland is "desert-ish"

Or, maybe they do and I have not found them?

I'm sorry, but is this the best you guys at Funcom can come up with?
You know this is just a big joke.
Last year there was an issue, this year there is an issue.
Keep it up like this and there won't be a next year....

I already regret that I resubbed...

Exactly

Whole server fights over few groups of lvl 1 desert nomads because others are pretty much useless, Fanatic Desert Nomads rot with locked loot, Desert Rider is obviously only high level raid thing.. And I don't believe even for a second this "fixed next year". We know about FC next year.

Happy birthday -_-

**Soju** · Jun 29th, 2013, 00:59:32

please fix rate on high level mobs now, or extend the birthday out 2 more weeks.

Well put, what a joke.

Only six armors to fight for at a time...... Pathetic the whole thing. The one just now the guy with raid lead screws the raid over by not using the bot agreed and the whole thing snowballs into rage and drama over six tubes of crap. On top of that we have no attempt to fix the drop rate error. All the mindless of farming in pw I cant for the life of me get a a good ql helmet,glove or pair of pants to drop. All I get are shoulders,sleeves and some cloaks.... Not only that we have to farm in a wasteland of sand. RK has some awesome zones with great scenery and secret places instead of being there we have to farm endless hours looking at sand for the small hope of a ql300 drop. Whats with a 2 minute rot time? WTF you can't even invite a friend and help them get a missing piece before its gone...

**Soju** · Jun 29th, 2013, 01:10:35

i just smashed thru 50 lowbie nomads in newland desert and got 2 tinker items

**Tryptophy** · Jun 29th, 2013, 04:57:10

Can you just let the tinker accept action figures as items? No need to mess with loot tables then if that is such a problem.

**Raggy** · Jun 29th, 2013, 08:05:07

Lol, how can you mess the same event up twice in a row?

Bwahahahahaha, yes, how on Earth can you let this happen?

Somebody better get fixing this event before even more of the population rage quits, and, who could blame them for doing so?
