Re: Why all the cursed Arties?
the arties you get from the invasion are usually cursed. Everyone is over there getting as many as they can to sell cause the drop rate is actually pretty good.

Re: Why all the cursed Arties?
(this is a SILLY theory, it has NO basis in reality whatsover)
They are dropping so many to put an END to camping and fix the economy. Lend an ear friend, for this is a twisted, tortous path in a Dev's brain. Now, how does this all FIT? What happens when you die, say in a champ spawn, or in an ML boss instance with a cursed artie? You have to be able to re-equip don't you? So you will carry a SECOND set of armor in your pack at all times, DOUBLING your normal weight. Thereby DECREASING the amount of gold sent to the bank through BOS, eventually sending all players back to the days when we prepared for hours for a one hour crawl. Remeber, PoT costs about 1K per charge. YOur profit margin starts to slip if you are sending significantly less cash to the bank per charge. Now for the gold sink. SInce you carry all this extra, unused gear in your pack, you will be charged more per death than current (2400 to 6K is the average now, watch it climb to 10K per death!). Plus, there is the expected benefit of multiple deaths per instnce trying to get your body back. Soon, you will be losing WEEKS worth of insruance in a single boss run! How EVIL, TWISTED are these dev's, to be SO forward looking?

Re: Why all the cursed Arties?
Lol. Well to the case, I don't know. Can't really see how anyone can use them for anything serious. If your dead in a kinky spot alone, your not getting em back so I wouldn't wear them in the first place. I won't bother selling them either as they have lost all value. So I guess.. deco?

Re: Why all the cursed Arties?
i had a strange other theory... i think they r passing around cursed arties like there going out of style because after the event they might do a collection like book of truth...but as cheap as theses cursed arties are and how many people are complaining about them they are still no dropping them around to be picked up by looters,,,did anyone take notice of the weapons on these monsters in event the leeches are through the roof and weapons r good too

Re: Why all the cursed Arties?
The only ones I found that area bsolutely useful are the necro braces. Saved me 20 mill getting a real pair! Now I have THREE.
WEird moment huntng last night. A guy ran by me with 4 balrons on him. I ran into the middle of em, and let loose a couple of whirlwinds w/ consecrate.Few other guys ran up and finished em off. I looked and my pack and WATCHED FOUR arties appear. (HOM X 2, Necro braces, dancer leggings). Wild

Re: Why all the cursed Arties?

Re: Why all the cursed Arties?
Well maybe there will be some sorta collection system set up after the invasion is pushed back where fighters can turn in the weapons, and miners can turn in blackrock

Re: Why all the cursed Arties?
It's more like a subconscious way to get the player to get used to not having insured/blessed items so when they DO get rid of insurance/blessings it won't be such a big shock.
Or atleast, that's why I would do it.
