Rubble...[ rubble ,boil and...........

oh no thats a different rhyme

Seriously though a lot of people have been wondering just HOW do you get some rubble.So I will post over some 'finds' for everyone.



source

Has anyone from Pacific managed to get any rubble?

No one that's been fighting that I've talked to, nor myself of course, have managed to get any. There are blackened trees everywhere (cajun style) but nothing seems to be removable, and nothing seems to be missing, at least from what I can tell. I know I've tried picking up every piece of shrubbary, rock and building on the island, but nothing so far.

Just wondering if Pac is simply doing a good job of defense, or if something is amiss here?

Edited> seems a small amount has been picked up as I've found a piece or 2 of fallen log missing. It must take a lot to turn these things into rubble, as the rest of the log is still there and it's right by the gate, which has been on fire countless times...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Probably, if there is any rubble to be found, it's been swiped by the small army of stealthers that are likely present on every shard.
Popping up and saying "Hey, dude! I got some!" isn't really conducive to keeping their little sneaky behinds un-chewed by demons.


~~~~

I haven't even seen any stealthers. Doesn't appear to really be anything missing, but then it's kind of hard to tell. You'd think the gate area at least would be cleared out since that's where the main fighting has taken place, but it's still covered in shrubbery.

~~~~

Now that I've spent some time looking around, I do see at least one piece of fallen log that has been picked up. It must take a lot to turn things into rubble, because that log is right next to the gate, and has been on fire countless times.

~~~~

would like to know how it appears on Ctl/Shift though. I've heard 2 different versions. One says it shows as rubble while still on the ground and the other says it doesn't turn into rubble until it's placed in the pack.

~~~~

doesnt help that when you ctrl shift everything shows up!! all the shrubbery and things in the buildings aswell.

~~~~

.... there is a good thread going on in the rares forum as well about all this rubble.

trade forum

Some nice pics on the second or third page. Seems to have something to do with some random explosions that I have not seen yet.

Examples of some 'rubble'




~~~~

It says rubble on the ground. Anyone who picked up one and claims it turned in their pack didn't give the item decription enough time to update with the "rubble" tag. All 5 I got were the same. All on Baja as well. I looked on Pacific but didn't find any.....yet

~~~~

Thanks Phantus! Now we know for sure. I saw that explosion that was described in the trade forums happen last night and didn't realize what it was. I'd thought it was something to do with the spawn as they popped right after the explosion. Now I know what to look for, so hopefully can find some.

we're in the early stages of the invasion, which allows the scripting weenies to have a big advantage of loot because the spawn is localized in a small area for the most part. Once the invasion spreads, I think it will be a lot easier for legitimate players to get loot.

It's amazing how much of an impact just one person running a looting scirpt makes when the loot is so localized. The fire fields last so long that the corpses are lootable to the public by the time you can get in to your loot. Then you have to compete with the cheater that's going door to door with his looting script. lamers...


~~~~

I got four peices of rubble yesturday on Pacific was two fallen logs , a small palm tree and grass all labled rubble

~~~~


Until the city is actually attacked by the main horde, where light daemons start physically attacking buildings, and the military arrives and sets up cannons, rubble won't be spawning.

The few tiny pieces of rubble that've already spawned are just a taste of what's to come.

This battle is barely begun, and it won't be won just by the fighters and mages.

Apparently it's supposed to be won by no skill lazy archers sitting in the back row with 0 risk, shooting arrows while watching TV.

Ah, so I see you finally figured out what my favorite template is! But seriously, no, not them either, not for long

I've been in mag on both my Swordswoman and my archer and let me tell you..Archers are in NO way immune in this war....not by a long shot...not when Deamons TELEPORT on top of you, or SPAWN on top of you.....

NOONE is safe...and NOONE is gonna have an advantage...not if Draconi has anything to say about it.


~~~~

Can Someone PLz verifiy what this exsplotion looks like when the rubble apears because here on lake austins sofair been here 32 hours stright we are just starting to get some light deamons in to town but there just standing around along the walls not doing anything an sofair the whole group of people thats been doing this claims they havent even seen this so called exsplotions since we been here or any rubble whats up with this can someone post a picture of this exsplotion or maybie give u some tips or even a tip to find this stuff i been tryign the shift ctrl an its not doing anytihng but show the trees plants an all no rubble an sofair 32 hours getign cursed arties which pritty much are usless to most of us because they cant be insured its geting boring when everyones here for rubble an not one person is geting any any help would be great here

~~~~


Here I am ON MY ARCHER.....Hmm....yeah I can stand back from THAT...no problem..

Please.....just TRY to stay away from this spawn on an Archer..or any other char for that matter.


~~~~

I've had pretty good luck with my pally - not to say I haven't died a bunch, but ethy mount + two kinds of healing (bandies and chiv) + not trying to melee berzerkers works pretty well for me. The archers and mages probably get more kills overall, but I'm gettin my hits in. (And looting TONS of gold )

So to sum up ,I will use the post below.Good Luck everyone searching for rubble.

Ok, listen up guys, this is how it works. There are couple of ways to get rubble.

1. Explosions that happens once every few hours and its random between shards. The explosions usually happens near the moongate. Once you see the explosion, right afterwards, start searching all over the city, but for now in the wooded areas. Use ctrl shift to reveal the names and sometime the name "rubble" will show up and sometimes it takes a couple of ctrl shifts for the name "rubble" to show up. its like how sometimes you recall to your house you mouse over an item and it just says the generic name rather with all the stats but if you mouse it over it again it will reveal the true name. There will be literally thousands of pieces when this is through. Each explosion can yeild as high as 14 pieces from the reports I've read. Now times that by the number of shards then times both facets then times the length of this campign and you'll see why thousands of pieces will be generated. One thing you will notice though that as each hour progresses, the number of shrubbery decreases.

2. The 2nd way of which only has been reported on couple of shards, involves the Dev player NPC (forgot his name) and he will spam stuff and if you talk trash to him it'll get him angry and afterwards he/she can also casue explosions. But this explosion can go as far as the buildings themselves. So if you go to Atlatnic, you'll see the north/west side two buildings are half blown up. People were able to loot the rubbles off that.

I imagine, perhaps either cannons will be brought in later or more Dev. played NPC will blow up the buildings and eventually all the shrubbery, logs, trees, buildings will be blown up and rubbles drop randomly for the pickens.

I hope this clearifys all misconceptions and good luck to all.
