[quote="ENIMEEZE"]Yes this is my moaning, Grim bows seem far too rare in game. I almost suspect it's easier to get spirit powder on hsoma than it is Grim bows now[/quote]

[quote="SH1VS"]Always been the way pal. But weps do drop more often, seems to be swords/handed axes, it's just because everyone is thinking archers will be good after patch so people will be holding on to them. I remember someone saying before the combine that epic+grim bows had been extinct for a while haha [/quote]

[quote="THEHOOD"]Got my first epic bow (bought) at lvl 92. Had one drop day after patch at hogs. Had nothing since. Sad thing is if you're lucky enough to get a drop it's still probably untag. Only reason I came back was the promise of drops getting attention. I've hunted enough to know it's a waste of time. Conti map has zero value. Enough with this attitude of magmas drop everything - fix it for the people actually leveling.[/quote]

[quote="SH1VS"]I'm to that, spent a few lvls at conti wbm Had predominantly swords and axes. Been told that magmas don't actually drop the bows. Only the xbow. Personally I prefer the speed of the bow more then the damage of the xbow. Gms could you guys please add grim bows to the magma dropfile? maybe look at the drop rate of wbm? Not to the level of lb, but maybe match with the kl? [/quote]

It would be really nice to see these weapons in the drop files as they are needed as sometimes preferred to the 2 handed versions. I guess the thinking was that the mobs would drop top tier weapons and the 1 handed versions (or less damager + quicker) were not considered top tier. Loving all the recent changes tho, its brought back the love for soma. Thanks to all the staff! And Merry Christmas to you all[/quote]

[quote="SEROCEE"]lul feel strongly enough about it to delete your char like thehood has though? ;/[/quote]

[quote="ENIMEEZE"][quote="SEROCEE"]lul feel strongly enough about it to delete your char like thehood has though? ;/[/quote] See what happens with the new patch, and the "re-balance" humans are already getting a free stat as it is [/quote]

[quote="SLAYER"]It seems as though the drop rate/distribution at conti lizards has changed as well, anyone who has farmed them before for grims knows the area, but i've had Mals drop in that area now...and the drop rate for grims seems lower than before? Admittedly this is only based on like 10 hours of farming but I only got a couple of untagged grims, whereas before I would seem to get at least twice as many? May be wrong but it appears to of been lowered. GM confirmation would be nice on this.[/quote]

[quote="THEHOOD"][quote=SEROCEE] lul feel strongly enough about it to delete your char like thehood has though? ;/ [/quote] Okay m8 so I completed the game, helped a ton of people in my time, hunted magmas awhile, didn't enjoy it, quit. My character was in a guild called retired before I deleted it. Personally I've played Soma a very long time - it's a bit ingrained in life - we are all addicts to an extent - I'm lucky now my life is busy and therefore it didn't bother me too much. I do however like to be told the truth and treated with respect. I think what Dan has done with this server is amazing and I think the support Finito continues to provide and even the active eye of Ghost is a real testament to the longevity of it. I deleted my character for a variety of reasons mostly personal and trust me the 2 bows I had were absolutely mint to me - bro I done 92 levels on rares and ended up a +3 intense from this patch. I had a bad day and was overly thinking of other people leveling up and wanting to keep new players. If my downfall was being considerate of new players then so be it, was certainly nothing selfish. For me deletion is about moving on - it's a rash decision but ultimately maybe sometimes it's the only way to be rid of it. I hope the game continues for years to come, I don't think the team behind it will ever really be beaten in terms of dedication and genuine love for the game. For me the danger comes in where people say and do all the right things but in reality shouldn't be trusted. I had a true blast and I met some really good friends that I will totally endeavor to keep in touch with for the rest of my life - how often do we get to say that? Enjoy the rest of the seasonal holidays everyone. [/quote]

[quote="SEROCEE"]can't be assed to read that, just an irrational thing to do.[/quote]

[quote="THEHOOD"]Maybe dude but what's rational about Soma? Not much when you think about it. It's not like it isn't retrievable or whatever but it stops a habit of logging on to see how things are going, getting embroiled in stuff. At the moment I can gather up anyone on here I want to chat to I'm pretty happy about it, I'll miss it but I think 17 years or whatever it's been is probably long enough for me really and I'm glad it's gone. Doesn't mean I wish the game any harm - hope it totally thrives especially with future patch.[/quote]

[quote="ENIMEEZE"]Anyway enough derailing can one of the GM's add some comment to this?[/quote]
