Are all instance drops no drop or is there like 1000million CoFs floating around eventually?

I don't recall any changes to the items, if the item is lore or no drop it will retain those properties.

What are the server populations like at off hours? I work until midnight eastern time, am I going to log onto a ghost town? What about raid targets and such?

Packed and raids pretty much can happen all of the time. We controlled the open world timers and basically ensured their repop outside of EU hours when we wanted. It will be up to Zaide if they want to play the timers. We for example kept Trakanon and Vox purposely alive if they spawned early until 12pm EST daily and has one officer watch them. If someone came we'd batphone but otherwise it was just like any other scheduled raid.

A lot of haters on Phinny and Ragefire got real worked up about our batphone. As an adult with a family I'd rather get a note on my phone when something pops and decide if I want to take a 10-15 minute break to raid it or if I'm busy I don't raid. We raided for 15 minutes at all hours randomly outside of PoSky and on top of that had the instanced raids scheduled for those who prefer it. For simple minded children its too much to handle for a guild to have a batphone and to be able to choose when to raid.

Didn't we say Vox is instanced? I'm confused how this works now.

The normal open world spawns of the original game are still in place and are a source of competition. The instances are extra dungeons that are spawned from and entered through a NPC outside the zone. For example, the Vox instance NPC is standing around outside permafrost near the ice giant camp.

I am not sure which thread to put this in, so I will ask it here. It seems that there is a bunch of confusion about monk fist damage tables and that the OP tables for monks won't be in initially? I don't know what I am talking about here at all, but something about fists always being 38 speed?

My real question is in regards to weapon upgrades. While leveling up should I only ever use fists until I get a weapon upgrade at 50 (ie BIS Monk thread) or are there other points along the way that an upgrade makes sense for a few levels?

We're not using the busted Fippy/Vulak damage tables. Monks got a quiet nerf before RF/LJ launch, that's why the Sky fist was actually BiS for us during classic.

A lot of people list this damage table, which is what we had for Fippy/Vulak
Lvl Skill Dmg/Delay
# 5, 34, 5/37
# 10, 64, 7/35
# 15, 94, 9/34
# 20, 124, 11/33
# 25, 150, 13/31
# 30, 175, 14/30
# 35, 200, 16/29
# 40, 220, 17/28
# 45, 240, 19/27
# 50, 260, 20/26

This is the REAL damage table
Level(skill) - Level(skill): Dmg/Dly
1(0) - 2(14): 3/38
2(15) - 3(29): 4/38
3(30) - 5(44): 5/38
5(45) - 6(59): 6/38
6(60) - 8(74): 7/38
8(75) - 9(89): 8/38
9(90) - 11(104): 9/38
11(105) - 14(119): 10/38
14(120) - 17(134): 11/38
17(135) - 20(149): 12/38
20(150) - 23(164): 13/38
23(165) - 26(179): 14/38
27(180) - 30(194): 15/38
30(195) - 34(209): 16/38
34(210) - 38(224): 17/38
38(225) - 41(239): 18/38
42(240) - 45(254): 19/38
45(255) - 50(269): 20/38
50(270) - 55(284): 21/38
55(285) - 60(299): 22/38
60(300): 23/38

Once you get your epic it lowers your H2H delay to 26. Also note that Iksar have 39 delay instead of 38.

Went the same as Ragefire we were alone in there before the 2nd place shitters were even close to keying. A big chunk of our seperation is our keying strategy for Kunark, we have a plan for 2 of the zones which guarantees the keys go to our crews 99% of the time no matter what.

VP is fun though in classic gear, those dragons in the bank IMO especially when dual wielding are some of the hardest dragons in the game.

I mean they still use Hoshkar's AE in PoP for that giant croc in PoE. It's pretty brutal in Kunark.

Is Iksar H2H with epic also 26?

Sky fist I assume is Wu's Fist of Mastery.

Even 21/38(39) seems like it puts fists really high on the over all list, outside of BiS.

I think the epic just globally reduces it to 26, so Iksar have no dps disadvantage at that point, I have not personally confirmed this however.

Historically when have these servers gone live? I.e. what time and day of the week

That's something I am curious as well. Is it a midnight launch or midday type deal where your waiting around for the server to go up like back in the day expansion launch...

Phinny was a 2pm (PST) Wednesday release I believe. All of the ex-packs have unlocked on Wednesday afternoons as well.

Wednesday is such an odd time to release content. But it works for me. Thursday/Friday are my wife's days off and she has already agreed to take baby and let me have at least 3 days completely responsibility free.

You guys are correct, its normally Wednesday at 5pm EST. Let me throw out one caveat that 80% of their releases except for Phinny in classic have had some kind of issue though. Maybe Lockjaw didn't? but not sure I was on Ragefire which was a wild mess.

How much lead time do they generally give us here with the announcement? Will I have 3-4 weeks in advance to coordinate with work or do I have to go in and tell my boss that I need to take the rest of the week off to farm elf pixels?
