1.23 Imperial Event

[Punainen]

From what I've seen, lvl 50 imperials never drop hats. Only elites and the vanguard drop hats. Any elite/vanguard can drop any hat. You'll only get the hat if you have claim when the mob dies.

Did it the whole 4 hours straight, and that's what I was able to determine. Also got the tricorn. :3

Um it spawns like at 4 locations at the same time. If people would just play together it wouldn't be so bad...everyone is so cutthroat...and pushy. It's disgusting that this is the MMO community has degraded this way...

I dunno, here in Sargatanas, everyone was cooperating. The ending H-1 always became a game of tag to see who could get hate on it, but there was never any fighting going on.

Also, I saw approximately 5 or 6 hats drop to my party alone.

Haha, clearly did not play XI?

This is the norm for most of the player base. Except it doesn't require sitting for hours with a twitchy finger on a stun macro. IMO it's an improvement.

Also, anyone can go farm these at Castrum Novum at any time (Plus a bunch of other good stuff you can't get from these). There is no difference other than convenience.

Give it a few days and all the bigger LSs will have theirs then the medium LSs then the tiny LSs can team up. By the end of the week there will be shouts for it and then everyone will have forgotten about it.

People complaining about the loot system is just..... Wow... That's how it works when people leash abuse. If you hold claim then no one gets your loot/you don't get other peoples loot.

Seriously people, this event is awesome. It's multi-party content that promotes co-operation and everyone found an exploit and kills it that way with free for all loot when taking it the easy route. The devs have limits to what they can do with the content and leashing is unavoidable, period. You can even see they tried to combat this type of abuse and kiting abuse by giving them movement haste but no, people exploit anyway and then complain about it after. It's YOUR fault for doing it the easy way exploiting 1.0's faults so don't sit here and complain, grow a pair and fight it the way it was meant to be fought or exploit it, have your loot stolen and

...and the hats are not pretty and elegant enough...

Wow, really? All anyone on the forums has been talking about for the past 2 months is that they need to have some sort of huge imperial invasion where they come in and wreck everyone's shit. Well guess what, here it is, and there are still a ton of people bitching about it. These things don't have to drop anything at all, they SHOULD just be for an achievement. Who cares if the loot distribution is crap because guess what? This is probably here to stay until the servers come down, its not like there are any other hidden imperial items in the .dats waiting for us so theres plenty of time to get what you want.

Stop whining because you don't have content done 10 minutes after it's been released for christ sake because you sure as hell aren't going to have anything better to do.

My thoughts exactly (though I don't oppose the hats). People ASKED for this, and now that they get it, they're whining. And its only the second day of the event! People need to calm the heck down and try to enjoy it. I thought it was fun.

Well I dunno, there's this vid that says it goes to the person with the killshot:

Not sure if it helps anyone, I made a video of the event in Iron lake. Killing the H1, how loot works, etc: https://www.youtube.com/user/smiley7890?feature=mhee

Leashing is "cheezy" but effective for everyone involved.

I've never heard of anyone getting the Imperial hats at Castrum Novum. I don't believe you.

Then the vid lies. I got the kill shot a bunch of times and a hat NEVER dropped to me. The hat always dropped randomly to the party with the claim.

And I've killed ifrit a bunch of times and NEVER had a weapon drop to me. We're still dealing with drop rates here.

bunch of kills =/= guaranteed item
