Killed about 50 prototypes and not one disk. I've heard a rumor a while back that you must be capped in order to get a disk.. anyone know if this is true?

we have kiled way more than 500 of those things. yes we were on second level and, yes they were protos. doing the same run all the time exhaust us in the end so, we quit in disgust WoC disks. We also remember once, when we have fisinshed one of those runs, and went upstairs because another team wanted to try. They did, and got a disk :eek: this is not WisdomoC its LuckoC

there should be a mission for the disk "kill 30 prototypes"

not a bad idea, but not just a mission, I would suggest Either in luck OR a mission like 30-50 protos, but no more

Tbh cus the drop rate is so long, even if it was screwed up we'ed never know

Fero
09-10-05, 20:59
Drop rate needs to be increased,period.
while on subject .... woc items need to be introduced, so that people have a idea what are they wasting time for. Who cares about woc disks and overcapping if you do not use it ? More WOC stuff plz.
i got 3 chars with woc 1 req overcap. Dont care much for disks, since it gives me nothing.

You must be persistent. I've read on here that one person got a WOC disk from the first Proto killed. Its totally random and borders on the unreasonable. But if you keep at it, you'll get one.

It's either broken or another sledgehammer approach to a timesink. :rolleyes:

Why trust you torq? Who are you to trust? You are not listening to me: been there, done that already, unless something has changed and we dont know. There are some runners that simply cant accept some timesinks. Then there are others that do. I am in the ones that dont.

Well if you play on Neptune you shouldn't complain about how long it takes to get a disk, bearing in mind the XP increase.

i've got 650mil overcap psi and no disk. i feel like complaining :p

EDIT: so if anyone happens to have exactly 6 spare woc disks i could sure use them...

117 Prototypes killed and hacked and I didn't get a disc...that was enough
for me to give up.

Slightly off topic, how much hack for the Prototype Ceres Mobs do you need?

CMaster
10-10-05, 15:30
Its around a TL90 or so hack. I've got one disk after a lot of farming. Open up new ceres labs (or the redesigned old ones) so we can have some variety please.

I can tell you.

Do you know the pay-terms (cabinets) that are in the room around the right corner? Everybody of your team has to click each twice to pay enough tribute.

After that you have to use the venture warps in there. You need exactly as many people as venture warps and each must use a different one. The trick is to warp all at the same time and to be all back at the lab within one NC-hour.

You will get a WOC-disc the following run for sure. Repeat it after each run. Good luck. :angel:

Well, I don't.

And the fact that some people get many disks in few hours and some don't get any in many hours proves that something is borked.

Many of the "new" features that were advertised are either borked in some way or not implemented at all.

That and a payment plan that refuses to take your money even if you decided to play this game with all the tedious bugs and broken features is enough for a hardy fuck you and I'm moving on to something that doesn't give me a knot in my stomach.

And they wonder why the server pops are pathetic.

We have done all that as well.
WE have also took as a prisoner a nearby wabbit and a titan to feed to those pesky protos.
What we havent done so far, was to access and program those terminals in that room. Each accessing a different terminal and programming some java applet (ea a different one)

@kozmos: AMAZING sig mate lol

A question to all. What are the chances of the WOC items being changed into milky wrens or something of the sort in a patch?

It ocurred to me that after getting a disk, is it worth the risk of cashing it in?

Good point!
As if getting these things wasn't tedious enough, and then, to lose them to a bug, and not have it replaced due to the lack of the so called top of the list priority called "item tracking".

Its impossible to get one on a PE... unfair. I need one!

item trackings in already isnt it ? thats what fucked up all the runcasting by adding extra lag a while back... or was the runcast fix to remove the item tracking ? :lol:

I don't know nor do I believe anything from KK anymore.
In essence, I've given up on KK. :(

Oh my fucking God! Don't tell me you believed his mad banter!

im a bit quiet atm, im sick at home ... and no i dont believe he's mad banter cause as i told ya i always click them cabinets cause there so facinating :) and i always venturewarp outta there cause im a venturewarpwhore, its more exciting then set kill_self and you come places you havent been alot :) still the disks i got come from trading and buying, overall i spend days in there but i never seen 1 disk drop :/ the time i spend there i would of make 10 times more money on another place and buy myself the disks :)

so i yust gave up hunting there ... i got nuts when i kill the 100th prototype in a rowto find yet another piece of worthless junk .. gimme the doy3tunnels then, very exciting cause of the bezerked MK2 and practically always loot: a tech, an illegal or a bit less frequent but certainly worth it .. an ultima :)

besides i dont need a fancy xbowPE, i prefer my monkitem or riflespyitem then, maybe even heavycombattankitem ... if they would yust be introduced ;)

ok off to bed again

This is the problem tbh you get nothing for the trouble of going down there.

At least in Tunnels you get techs, slotties even if you don't get the Ultima.

What does the 127 get you ? Glass, green gland? WTF sort that loot :rolleyes:

This is probably what KK was thinking.

1. Make the mobs dam hard so players do need a team and capped/near-capped players.
2. Make the loot worthless and drop rate so low, so that players get pissed off quicker to give up hunting the mobs. This in turn means less players with WoC discs, and better balance to the world.

Yeah that sounds like they way they think with everything.
And that's the biggest problem, that kind of thinking.

It leads to LESS players playing!

actually, don't change the drop rate of the disks, just do so you don't have to hack the fuckers because that's what's REALLY annoying
