They're taking my pinatas away! Those are my pinatas!

[Archemys]

I jumped right into raid when I logged in... Thought people were just trolling about pinatas.

Shouldn't the reward for lower zones be much less than other zones? I was going to take one out in freemarch last night just to see what they looked like... Got close and saw people running away from where it had been.

[Flimble]

But I don't feel bad for trying to get one in Silverwood, it isn't "lazy", it's competitive.

LOL, the 50's in the lower zones are there becuase they can't take the competition in higher zones, much easier to beat low level guys on slow mounts, new players who don't know the maps, than competing in EI, IPP, etc...

lol exactly....it is disrespectful and lazy not competive you truly want competion go fight other 50s. I hate when ppl try to claim it is competition when they are 50 going after a lvl 10 pinata and the level 10 or stands no chance.

when i was on a pvp server it was the same way the level 50s telling me when i was 20 that is was just competition and i should fight back because that is how it works right cause them at the time r6 was highest i level 20 and they we 50 resist resist resist apparently equals being competive the truth is the ones saying that they are in it for the competion but farming in freemarch and silverwood aren't really in it for the competition they use that as an excuse when others complain and again i say it is disrespectful......i don't have a problem with trying to get to just one in the low zone to look at it but the camping that was going was lame

[blazin]

I managed to get 4 or 5 pinatas last night in Draughtlands just while questing normally. Maybe the mid-level zones would be better to farm so that the entry level players can still have a chance at the prizes since that's their only option right now.

[Gyle]

Low level zones are not special. Right now Pinatas are dead within seconds in every zone in the entire game. People have not had an even in a while, they are just going nuts for the time being.

[TheSiren]

Yeah I tried to get to pinatas for 5 hours in Silverwood and Freemarch and the big kids beat me to every single one. That's just plain disrespectful of lowbies.

Yup, me too! I have a 50 on Seastone but sometimes I just want to chill out with my newbies on Millrush. It will be good when the fix goes in for this so the wee bairns (and all the new players just coming into the game!) have a chance to get in on the fun, too.

I was on a level 42 alt who hasn't bothered to get her level 30 mount yet. Still unfair? I was moving at the same speed as anyone in Silverwood.

For dragon motes, and certainly for these, I will also tend to get a few hits in and then *gasp* walk away. The people who think they need to KILL THE WHOLE THING RIGHT THIS SECOND ZOMG are causing a much larger problem than people looking outside their level range.

Don't see what the problem here is.

Last night I formed a group for Stillmoor with about 3-4 people on a high pop PvP shard (seastone).

When a balloon appeared on the map, one of us would make a waypoint. I farmed approx. 500 glass beads and receieved 3 green rarity pets, the fae hat, the skull shoulders, the barnacle source engine, the water breathing trinket, and countless other goodies.

It isn't hard. Just takes some coordination. Oh, and I have a 90% speed mount so I was much slower than most of the 50s in the zone.

[ChuckGnawris]

you also need to sort out the hit detection. Im arriving at Pinatas at 50%, finishing them off with the rest of the people and then getting the fort destroyed message or whatever it is, then getting no beads , nothing.

[Harmil]

It's ALWAYS been the case. Some level 50's are just plain LAZY. It's so much easier to grab the goodies from lowbies zones. One would think the devs would have caught on by now and set level zone restrictions on these things but, they would rather get a ton of QQ's on the forums first.

Nothing to do with being lazy. 50s zones need 4-10x more health so that they live longer than a heartbeat. When that happens, 50s will stop trolling 1-30 zones.

Yeah, you need to press a certain number of abilities. I think it's like 5 or so, and do damage. I tried just pressing buttons for non-damage abilities (radiant spores and a stun), but no dice. Damage + 4-6 abilities.

It's possible that on PvP servers, people are doing far less damage (PvP gear). On my PvE shard, they were going down in about 10-20 seconds last night. I gave up.

[Rarz]

It's not just the low level areas. They are gone EVERYWHERE in a matter of seconds. Annoying, really.

[thoroar]

Higher spawn rates please :S!

[Harmil]

Higher spawn rates please :S!

Not needed. Put up 2 at a time at the same spawn rate (e.g. 1/2 as fast, but bunched up). Maybe even 3 at a time. Then increase their HP by about 4x.

Also, it appears that I was wrong. You get credit in terms of beads if you do 6 abilities, but there's a higher threshold for doing more damage, where you get goodies. If this is true, then they need to put a LOT more health on these so that people who are doing raid-geared DPS don't take these things down instantly like they are now. Even on EI, if you go to the second closest transport and run, you'll never make it before the mob is dead. 10 seconds too late is just in time to see the confetti....
