[quote="FOXOSAURUS"]This thread is to just start a discussion around the crystal activation of Negamare. The same "couple of people" run the crystals in and get no benefit for doing them and only when they are activated do then a lot more people turn up. What would boost negamare being done by the community generally? Is this something that needs to be reviewed? Would a activation quest make it worth doing e.g 200 crystal activations (divide by 5 - thats 40 solo runs)? Or should there be an buff to help the negamare fight for doing them? Or nothing at all? Discuss. [/quote]

[quote="N00B"]I put this in the ideas section on the 2/11/19 ATM there a handful of us doing this .. and only a few with the gearing to manage the kill. Then u have the lazy ones who only go if someone else done the effort.. Could there be a quest. ( Human + devil ) Activate 10 neg crystals for a (rare + ) neg wep Active 15 neg crystals for a neg tear On a repeat. So the runners actually get something out of the run and may encourage the lazy ones to pull there fingers out. That way there is a benefit to the runners. ( Thinking 10/15 a tad low tho) And accessable for both races. Soz forgot on my n00b - the_d0n[/quote]

[quote="SOMCHAI"]I propose they should be given colourful capes or distinctive little bowler hats (much like those worn by the cholita in Bolivia) to signify they are stalwarts of the soma community and fearless negamare Crystal runners. A discount on jerkies should be bestowed upon them in order to aid them in their continuing and terrific deeds![/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]imvho.. There was obviously a lot of thought gone into the nega boss... cleverly thought out and implemented to probably try introduce a little more rvr etc... Don't think there's enough hi levs/ geared up ppl to have the inclination to do it. Personally.. i'm always levelling new guys... i wouldn't even know how to 'do the crystals' ..ye i could ask ..maybe 1 day.. but always seems to be something else to do. There's a few regular ppl that do it... a few regular ppl that do the dung bosses.... camping or otherwise... majority of ppl just don't bother. Maybe laziness... wotever u wana call it... or just think whats the point... some1 will be there...either b4 me.. or with better gear... why bother... So... for months and years, this has been the case. Where do all these drops from d4 go? China must have/had gazillions of stuff.... Is there a record of where they go/ get traded to/ etc? Personally idc..... but when all these rare, desirable items are just for a few ppl.. that many only log on for maybe 15-20 mins a day.. to harvest their wealth..... when other players are putting in 5-6-7-8 hours a day with no chance of getting these items...it seems a bit .. shit.. in a word........ So possibly.. another means of obtaining some of the hard to get stuff could be found? Seems a reasonable request. [/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]If there are to be changes to the Negamare routine ... could this also be considered; I have been advised (by players) that my character (capped) does not have enough STR to do any damage (or any more than min 1 damage) and that it is pointless turning up. Assuming that is true .... is there any opportunity for capped characters with anything less than a marvelous amount of STR or INT? No worries if not, I do accept that is a choice when building a character. Jac[/quote]

[quote="PAPAPILAS"]Imo I think a good idea is to only let characters in nega chamber that have taken part in the run. You would be able to touch the crystal for a second time meaning you could now turn back and be able to take part. Also think there should be a repeatable quest for let’s say hard-epic nega wep once you get 500 crystals.[/quote]

[quote="ROCH"]My only concern with quests regarding activation, especially if its first activation, is that they will be camped by China chars so no-one will ever get a look in. [quote="PAPAPILAS"]Imo I think a good idea is to only let characters in nega chamber that have taken part in the run. [/quote] Think this is probably bang on.[/quote]

[quote="KAELTHAS"]Why not try out making the crystals give out a tempory attack / defense buff similiar to the potions for like 30 minutes to all players near them if the issue is the runners getting no benefits. Also free full stamina recovery.[/quote]

[quote="PAPAPILAS"]Can’t camp in IC Only camp at IC portal[/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]* headache* [/quote]

[quote="SOMCHAI"][quote="LUPISCUS"]* headache* [/quote] Can of worms this one ! Please consider bowler hats. So many crystal touches will give you a hard - intense nega wep. Nice option for those who often take part but deal low dmg also. [/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]maybe you could have to wear green underpants irl.... have them photographed at ur local police staiton for proof... run to the local Gregs for 3 cornbeef pasties and 3 latte coffees..return them to the police within 30 mins for a stamp on ur passport...... wait for home office approval.... and boom.. ur into the nega! mayb x Or.. could just put negas in vod ..and wait for bigger uc to get adventurous with new bosses x Maybe im just lazy .. but nega does seem like hard work. ( the Greggs option does seem easier tbh)[/quote]

[quote="MBB_STORE"]No to increased attack buffs for clicking crystals... Maybe some kind of repeatable quest which rewards a rare nega wep for activating 15 crystals[/quote]

[quote="SEVENTH_SON"]t6 IC Portal opens Runners Activate Crystals Once All Active they change to Nega Portals Which you have to touch to get into Naga Chamber t7 stays the same . you didnt touch crystal your gone Do away with t8 . Gets everyone that wants Nega to participate . Just my idea not sure if doable ty[/quote]
