#MillionReasonsToPlay IC is a nightmare D:

Alucardo

OK, so I'ma try not to rant here, because despite everything I was with some cool people which made my bad time a little more enjoyable, but this is what's bugging me.
I don't like IC. Never did. I'm there purely for the poly.. 44 boxes later and my inventory is full up with green crappy armour. I was at it from around 5:30am to 2:30pm today, pretty much non-stop. Nothing.

So my group was all like, "Hey, come and check out Molag Bal". Alright, never done it before so sounds exciting. After finally soloing my way there (they were already in the middle) from the base, we just ran around in circles. He never showed up.
While we waited, we went through some rooms to clear the areas, and ohhh a chest. Then this happened:



Yeah, stuck in the wall. Couldn't do a damn thing except spin around. So I missed out on Molag Bal and a chest, and had no other option to but to /stuck
This sent me back to the base, but I lost 10% of my stones, putting me just under the requirement for at least 2 lockboxes.. I had enough before the 10% was deducted for something that isn't my fault.

Can someone please confirm the poly drops from the 600 tv boxes, or am I wasting my time?

I'm so drained.

If you're not enjoying the time spent in IC, then you're wasting your time. As for the poly drop, that's for the RNG gods to decide.

Oh that sucks.

I still need to do the IC stuff. It's a bit of a pain. I'm enjoying Wrothgar too much to go through 20 minutes of load screens for it atm.

I am interested to hear where the poly drops from too. Is it the Imperial lock box from the vendor?

Actually the load screens have been pretty good and non-existent in IC. Well impressed.

Yep, it's from Imperial rewards you buy from telvar vendors. There's 3 types

600 TVs - VERY small chance at a poly drop
3k TVs - Much better chance at a poly drop
6k TVs - Pretty high chance at a poly drop

The 3k and 6k ones are reserved for VR16 characters though, and I'm VR10, so limited to the crappy ones.

as far as I know the son of Molag Bal event in the middle of the sewers is still glitched out. Has been like this for close to a week now. No word on a fix that I have heard. The outer portals spawn but that is all. Nothing at the inner portals for a few days

Ah, someone did mention it could be bugged. Yes, the outer portals seemed to be spawning fine, but nothing was going on in the middle at all.

Khenarthi

Yes if it's any consolation the Molag Bal event is bugged (at least on PC EU) so you did not miss it.

I consider myself a mostly solo pve player but I am enjoying IC tremendously - mostly going up to the districts to fight mobs which are harder than the Wrothgar ones, with the added thrill of being careful to avoid other factions' players.

As for boxes... I never bought any as I do not care for polymorphs, but a few guildies have been awarded with their polys so it should just be bad rng luck.

Necrelios

Ah yeah... the 'ol stuck in the wall problem. Happened to me a few times. Sometimes if you log out and log back in it fixes your placement in the world... well mostly.

Draxys

Not enjoying our content made specially for nightblades? Sounds like a personal problem, not our fault we designed an entire zone to cater to one class.

Happened to two of us. She logged out, and logged back inside the wall xD

Oh there's no doubting the exp is awesome. Guess it's just the RNG letting me down. It feels like I've spent an absurd amount of time in IC with little to no pay off except for a few vet ranks.

Xendyn

If you want to get an idea of the rng on the boxes...

Too bad. IC in my opinion offers the most interesting and exciting gameplay. Spend some more time down there. You might find yourself actually enjoying it.

glavius

What I mainly make money from is selling tel var stuff (10g per tel var) and the deconstruction mats from vr15 gear.
Get a bunch of the new Orsinium loot BoP loot also that I can't really use and the willpower/agility/endurance trophys.
You can also get Hakeijo rune from trophy scamps if very lucky.

Can make atleast 4-6k stones per hour farming with a good build which is quite good money.

Personofsecrets

I get stuck so much it is unreal. Molag Bal was probably broken btw, so you may not have lost out on it.

Catblade

Molrag is broken. The arena boss breaks all the time too but support trolls me with responses like "Log out and back in" or "delete and redownload the client" Yeah no thanks it's a multiplayer game with the boss bugged out for hundreds of players how is me relogging going to help?
