    People need to get off their high horses about this and be happy SE is making it two stages, rather then a single one with the same stage 2 requirements like they had originally planned.

    Stage 1 is so that everyone can upgrade their weapon and have it more powerful.

    Stage 2 is so that the super elitists who compromise 1% or less of the games population yet demand that they get 90% of the developers consideration can have something to acquire that makes them feel *special*. They already play the game like it's their job so this isn't anything new to them. They can have this then pat each other on the back about how great and awesome they are and how it makes them a better player then all the unwashed mass's who don't have a weapon that glows.

    Of course the statistical difference between stage 1 and stage 2 is very small, practically nonexistent. So in actuality these elitist players won't have anything that's more powerful then what the common joe can do. It's actually rather inventive of SE.

    You guys really arent putting much thought into anything, just rage ranting... first of all they clearly show a picture of PW in "Nyzule Isle: the Uncharted Reigon" 2nd "Leigon" is a battlefield where you will fight these same NM's and they will have a shared pool for lots. The difficulty is the shear # of how many you will need to upgrade, not the drop rate or how rare the items are... Some ppl are really gonna be pissed and ranting when the realized they've been waisting all this time farming zeni when you encounter PW on a nyzul run ROFL

    Um, you have done Nyzul Isle before right? You do know they have Khimera, Hydra, and Cerb in there too, yeah? Then you must also know that absolutely none of these mobs drop anything the HNM version drops also. This goes without saying that any of these versions in Nyzul will react in the same way. They will have drops, but they will not be similar to their HNM/ZNM counterparts as they are a totally different mob in a confined instance battle.

    Mythic and relic, yes. Emp, not really. Sphere crit+ effect would make for a decent pt increase in damage.

    Kind of unrelated but did they ever state what's the trial for stage 1? I know for a fact I won't do stage 2.

    Relic weapons 99 with afterglow- Nobody will probably do this because it takes 3 years of doing dynamis every day with 18 people to finish 1 weapon
    I do think these trials are retarded, but just pointing out-

    Can't you pop as many Arch Dynamis Lords as you have people per run (assuming you have the pops)?

    ADL makes copies of itself so and also has many very high aoe damage abilities that will kill anyone fast without Perfect Defense up. Basically you pick one zerg it hope your killing the real one before Perfect Defense is out. Killing a fake will result in another clone. Which is why people don't always win.

    Doing more then 1 per run would be very hard due to the fact you will have used your Perfect Defense for all 3 parties in your 1 attempt.

    Apparently the drop rate for ADL pop set items is terrible, further more even if you bring a full alliance to go kill him in two hours span your not going to kill 18 ADL's.

    No way in hell will you get 18 ADL's done in 2hrs, even assuming you can kill him without a 2hr style PD zerg.

    Problem with ADL is that you have a flat 33% chance of winning.
