Do you have a rough release date for Carrack addition? What I mean by rough release date is for example << insert month1, insert month2>> or to be more specific for example September - October. This isn't to say that if you say a certain interval, no matter how big or small, I will say oh but it didn't come out then your talking trash. I am just looking for a time, which I understand can be met with delays.We have a more detailed post coming later on today which will be replying to all of the other questions, but I'd like to comment on one in particular before hand:
Background: The looting system evaluate multiple pieces of information, such as weapon levels, quest history, and random numbers. We apply each piece of the data in the form of a "weight". The loot calculation server code gathers this information, processes it, and returns the final loot result. The server then will make this information available to the player, which would be in the form of dropping a loot container from the enemy that you can interact with.
Damage dealt and/or player health is not a metric in used in the looting system.
We purposely decided to not use this as a metric early on in 2015 or 2016. We believe that our players are stronger together; and that there is no "I" in team. If we want to keep our community strong and growing, we need to keep them working together, helping each other, working to achieve the same goal. If we used damage dealt as a metric, it would be self-defeating for the community.
Therefore, the only qualification to receive loot is whether you participated at some point during the battle. Your quality of loot is not impacted by the amount of participation either. A player who dealt 99% of the damage will have their loot processed in the exact same way as a player who dealt 1%. I believe this also extends to healers as well; because even if they never attacked the enemy itself, they still assisted in battle.
We will be posting again later on, feel free to drop more questions and we'll see what we can answer.
