What mimic cards?

And you trade 10 motes for 1 random card. Then you can Combine cards like in the Anniversary card event.

what are you talkin about?

...Did the event already start? I thought it was a few weeks/months away.

So you get rewards from mabar.
You can buy mimic bait from ddo store. lol

are the cards same as anniversary ones?

Oh btw TRed in Lamannia and guess what.....Mimic in the first fucking quest of the game.

Sahuagins were little bitches but that guy kicked my ass hard.

New comers wont be opening chests for a long time

We replaced Little Gamer's treasure with a mimic! Let's see if he notices....

lol

There is nothing random about it though

They promoted RNG cards instead of skillful grind (mabar to some extend) and at the same time they say they tweaked the system to make higher level cards more rare...

So lowest chance to get higher numbered cards and they make it twice as hard with their BS reducing drop rate after an ammount of Motes collected add the ransack factor to the quests with many chests and you have a recipe for disaster.

Fuck logic right?

It will prolly be recipes like the anniversary cards since Jerry`s 3 and 4 card gave him Robe of Shadows lvl 8 but...

As long as devs aren`t spawning motes for Lama players to figure out the combos before the event goes live we are screwed.

Imagine this scenario:

I want a Cloak of shadows

Grind grind grind on all my toons to get motes->turn them into cards->get multiple trash cards (by trash cards i mean less than card V) -> Scoring a card X after 1000 motes turned in,in 1 week running non stop -> Try my highest cards combo lets say VIII and X and getting a Docent in return......on a fleshy barbarian

Dont give me but you can wait till other people get screwed and figure out the turn ins (since devs stated they wont hint the combos for us because it will be exciting to try it ourselves)

From the moment an event promotes failing as valid strategy to get rewards you know its doomed.

Most of us are that close to quitting this fucking game its like turbine is yanking our chains to push us at that option with their crappy moves.

Btw i am not beta testing their shit,the last 2 days i spent on lamannia i hardly logged in the live server (actually learned that the winter event was on live from general chat in Lama) so far noone seems to give a fuck about the mimic event and just tries wierd builds for free and i cant blame them.

They seem to think people had fun figuring out the GS combos, back in the day.

1) Maybe some folks did enjoy unraveling the GS combos. They don't fucking want to do it now.

2) If the principle could apply at all, it would need a new loot list.

3) Implementing a "discover the combo" for an old loot list = Multiplying the cost of old loot.

4) "Fuck you, players; we hate your fucking guts and desperately hope that you stop playing our game."
