only the problems mentioned above...especially the group loot problems...

I kinda agree with the whole "no special loot" idea if it's going to be 1 item per group. One thing that might be kinda fun would be an award that everyone in the group (or involved in the action) could get when the boss died. Not a finished item, but some sort of crafting ingredient or something. A material that would help make super armor or weapons. That way you could either make it into something yourself, have someone make it into something for you, or you could sell it to someone that wants to put more of it into their item. It would add a small boost to the economy each time a group managed to kill the boss, but it wouldn't cause the friction of a major item being distributed unevenly.

Does this make any sense?

I was under the Impression that the RAID engine was a mob and npc driven ballance to counter players no matter what the size of their force. Less resistance vs small amounts of players and greater resistance vs greater number of players.

Must have gotten sick over the holidays

i take great offense to that! but I just got a brain storm, so I will let it slide this time I got a nice little event planning in my head, but it will require a lot of logistical planning, especially between the top foragers/crafters...

FYI, Aen has been defeated on Aniro on new year's eve by a group of 10 people:

well, to be fair here's what actually happened:

They splitted in 2 groups. One group took the guards for a run to Dyron, where the city guards took care of them, while the other group fought Aen.

To their credit they ALMOST killed her, but still, she won. And then she did something incredibly stupid: she ran to help her guards in Dyron where she got killed by city guards.

Soooo, nobody will get this armor on Aniro, because we lost the ability to loot Aen. Some people are quite pissed right now. Some others think it's for the better.

Anyway, I hope you guys won't do the same mistake and we get to know more about this armor.

I feel so sorry for them, however I can't help but laugh at the irony of it. We've had thoughts of seperating hte cloppers from clopperketh as well and I can see what would happen if the king crab decided to help his minions - lol

Best of luck next time...

So, Aen is a 1 time event, interesting.
And no one got the bounty from the booty.. very interesting...
Good tactic.. cept.. maybe.. you need more than 2 groups with this tactic.
For some reason I don't think the devs thought of that, guards to city, and solo the leader..

Why on earth did she go try to help her compradre's that were dead? Was she upset at the guards in general?

She probably started when the guards STARTED killing her minions... just an opinion

Hmm... then maybe a group of 18-20 for Aen could get it done...

oh wait. I'm just a lv.62 Tryker mage... I'll leave it to the people with the bigger, sharper sticks.

I seem to remember reading that the bosses could take quite a while to respawn again (ie days or so), tho i cant find this info now.
