People harvesting the shinies for the nexona encounter... if they happen to be killed by anything they can no longer harvest said shiney's.Can any member of the development team chime in as to if this is intended to make Nexona even harder than she already is?

Nexona is challenging, leave her alone! K thx

Had this same problem on unrest as well. Shiney clicker dies on nexona they can no longer harvest the shinies. Sad thing is we did rotate clicky folks, yet even when a person dies period on that encounter, they can no longer click shinies until after the mob is reset. Just wanted to see if devs could confirm whether this is intended or not.. It will give palys more raid utility thats for sure...

OH, then please explain why? And don't just say some lame "well it makes the fight more difficult!" crap.

Or is this just some attempt at a troll on a topic you have no clue?

I find it an interesting twist. Its not that big of a deal you just have to switch out collectors.

saying "shes challenging, leave her alone" is rediculous. this HAS to be unintended, and it really doesnt change her difficulty level if you fix the ability of harvesters to keep doing their JOB (notice, nothing fun about it, its one of the most rediculous ideas the dev team has come up with, along with spam clicking.) hope the they look at this and figure out some way to allow harvesters to continue harvesting even if they die.

We had one of our harvesters die realize they couldn't click and switched in another all in the span of 5-10 seconds, it made the encounter more exciting.

Greetings, While I can't say whether this is an issue or not (because, I honestly don't know), I highly recommend sending in /bug reports of this incident if you have not already. Please don't take this as a canned Halfling response, I read these and while I all I can do is help point this towards a Dev's attention, I also just wanted to post about /bugging this issue as well. Hmm, canned Halfling...not sure if I like that ><

MisterE · 03-17-2008, 03:47 PM

ty for the quick reply umee, I hope you can bring a dev on here to just say that the dying=no clicking is intended thats all or that they are gonna look into it something.... I know that i did a /bug last night as did most my guild, its not a video deal but the client errors and the dieing no clicky are weird and dare i say not cool....

Oh as for the canned halfling thing.. Think of it as more like the spring loaded gag joke cans.. ya thats it.. not the troll snack idea...

This is a bug caused from the fact that you have to have to be on the aggro list of Nexona to be flagged to harvest shinies.When you die you are wiped off that list and even when rezzed you are able to climb back on the aggro list but you are no longer flagged to harvest shinies no matter what you do.An obvious bug from this obvious fix to what some guilds were doing, having out of raid people harvest shinies.

This should be fixed in the next hotfix.
