Just wanted to make sure we didn't have an "oops" here.

[Dullah]

Way to post a "bug" that you didn't even confirm exists (it doesn't).

You just moved to straight hater status.

[Smedy]

Pretty sure you're the hater and Nigron just want to keep sever integrity intact, or save whatevers left of it (More luck than exploit)

[Dullah]

Server integrity? Please.

This coming from the same person that applauded the handing out of 8 pieces of dragon loot via /random in a GM event on a "Classic" EQ server.

Your only concern for server integrity is how much you can destroy it, how it negatively impacts Nihilum, and vary based upon how a change benefits you. (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showpost.php?p=828499&postcount=83)

[heartbrand]

Ton Po never dropped here which in and of itself is a bug because it's supposed to, I believe, drop off the first trak kill and then never again.

[Dullah]

Supposedly it never dropped except on test, which may be why they didn't allow it here. I guess it was a mistake on blue or was done only for the sake of nostalgia. Either way, we aren't boo hooing over it. Come next patch when dispell AEs are fixed, we will be able to obtain Trorsmang staves and our monks can just switch them out when they t-staff proc on peoples faces.

[Samrothstein]

Those Trors staffs are going to bring great waves of tears

[Nirgon]

I would report this all the same if you guys weren't playing here.

It's not the worst thing on the world on a blue server, but it would be on a red one.

You'd be surprised what I privately report too :P. In fact, something is sitting in petition & exploit that I could be abusing the hell out of on a wizard in Kunark.

The blue one wasn't removed last time I checked.

Pretty sure no one can confirm it, and be nature of being able to confirm it... the problem has occurred. Sit on that a while =).

[Ambrotos]

Blue has one because one dropped on live. Hence why it was removed after the one dropped. I'm sure it'll be the same way for red.

[heartbrand]

It has yet to ever drop on red

[Nirgon]

Yeah I know that.

But they got to keep the one on blue since it was never reported.

Nilbog/Kanras can verify. Thx. Evidence found and posted in the comment I linked.

god damn you make it sound like sirken was handing out COF and RBB
QQ strong in this 1

[heartbrand]

From my understanding, Ton Po is not a legacy item in that it has a set period to drop but rather a type of "Artifact" item that should drop once then never again; it has yet to do so here.

more rbb than players. id trade both my rbbs on my alts for an AoN. hit me up.

Thats incorrect as one never dropped on RZ... And if it was a "Artifact" type item one would have existed. Thing is it dropped on a few servers on Live, then they realised how OP it was for the time and simply removed it from ALL servers. So there were several servers that never seen one including RZ.

If we want Artifacts in I'd like to see BB Hammer, Prime Bulwarks also..

Perhaps if enough players express interest, this may become a reality.

[Dullah]

Of course there weren't any on RZ, we were almost an entire expansion behind on content because pvp. Raid bosses stayed up for days if not weeks.

[Nirgon]

VP and the hole are open, I believe it was removed from blue by that point.

Anywho. Yeah. Like I posted the evidence/link for blue already.

[Dullah]

Theres tons of claims that Ton Po's did drop on several servers, but I haven't seen any hard evidence either way. Which is why this thread is stupid.

If it was supposed to drop on red, it wasn't in the database because we've done trak 50 something times. 50 times, 2 items per trak would be less than 1% drop rate.

[Rettii]

I crown Nirgon king of server integrity. Thanks for all your hard work Nirgon!

[Nirgon]

Funny thing bout those 1% drop rates. Many a brave soul died camping tstaffs and manastones on vztz with 1% Searxy'd rates.

This was removed from the blue DB, and red is apparently a copy of the "working" blue at that time.

I killed Trak several times on RZ and he was killed by my raid sect many more times. RZ never saw a Ton Po's.

Awaiting official ruling since evidence is posted to put this to bed.

Blue has one because one dropped on live. Hence why it was removed after the one dropped. I'm sure it'll be the same way for red.

Are you sure that you're sure that you're sure? Wru bropal, the scum of the earth is returning to red99 and Sirken will need assistance.

[nilbog]

Hasn't dropped/won't drop on PvP server.

The only reason there was one on PvE was research that it dropped on live then was removed. Later, research indicated that it only dropped on test. So, one dropped on p99, then was removed. Was never added to pvp.

[Nirgon]

Good afternoon Nilberg, and thanks. Can shuffle this one along.

[Bamzal Sherbet]

i thought i saw someone using this on TZ.. gylen?


edit: soemone agrees...

-Hunting mortal enemies. Kamzan, Lightadam, Tzeenth, Darlana, Gylen (Ton Po's was so overpowered for PvP) and many others. I remember one time Kamzan literally chased me from Great Divide all the way to Western Wastes trying to kill me and I ended up gating, lol.

[Bamzal Sherbet]

further research led me to this tidbit:

Ton Po was the guy in Kickboxer w/ Jean Claude Van Damme

[Nirgon]

That was Tong Po.

Chong Li was a way better villian anyways.

I'll let that unfathomable blasphemy slide because you're hooking up the only classic everquest in town


Edit/PS:
From my understanding, Ton Po is not a legacy item in that it has a set period to drop but rather a type of "Artifact" item that should drop once then never again; it has yet to do so here and I know you like my claims for more pixels extra sloppy, so I made this one extra ssssssssloppy fors yas.

Heartbrand, you're scarin' us (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJf8Je5H7-k). HAAAAAAHAHAHAHA.

[Rettii]

Points for extra sloppy.

Move this one to resolved before Nihilum start talking about how server integrity is being ruined.

[diplo]

What were monks hitting for with the Ton Po's staff? like 300+?

[quido]

If research showed for a while that an unlimited charge instaclick CH item item dropped from Trak, and you guys put it in, and I got it, and it was then decided that it should never have been there.... would I be allowed to keep it?

Wizards got to keep their Blue Crystal Staves.

No one knows, because they never existed contrary to the claims on many servers that they did.

[Nirgon]

Sorry, but Nilberg already took care of this.
