That awkward moment when you have God armor and Sword but you still die from the blizz... Only happened once but still.
Well, there is a very good excuse for that. After all: if both Krysyy & Aikar have had issues with trying to defeat the Blizz then surely it should be a challenge for us players as well! That's what you get when custom code goes AI on the server (holiday season conspiracies I tell you! )
If I have a mini boss spawn for me, does that interfere with my next blizz ard spawn or is that a totally seperate timer, like the turkeys? Also do they spawn at the same rate as turkeys?
I believe they're separate. I'll look into it if you don't get a definitive answer though! Not 100% sure how blizz spawning works.
You'll do better if you don't use fire aspect or flame bows. I believe it takes into account actual player dealt damage when dishing out rares. The fire damage is not counted as player damage. At least that's what I've heard.
I certain that each has it's own timer so if you have mini bosses turned on it's possible to have them all spawn every 2 hours (or whatever the timers are). So that means voter's sword is out? I got 7 full sets of blizz parts last year with it lol
Again ThaKloned, that's just what I've heard. I have a smite 5 sword without fire aspect for Momo for just that reason. Marlix is immune to fire, so I use his own bow against him!
Looting and non-player-dealt damage end up somewhat negating one another in my experience, i.e., I don't notice a difference really between a Fire Aspect/Flame weapon and a non-Fire-inducing weapon. All depends on how you wanna go about it. I tend to use fire-inducing weapons to shorten the battles. Still was able to get a nose and an arm last year even though I didn't hunt that many.
https://empireminecraft.com/threads/super-turkeys-and-1-11-client-support-11-20-16.68782/page-7 Got two of last years, before the event stated. So I guess it is time to get some new blood from this years crop.
Tried it out and I'm not sure they are taking fire damage. I have a damage indicator on and when I wack it, it lights on fire but the health does not go down after the initial hit. Other mobs normally do take fire damage.
Ah, that makes even more sense. I assumed they did because of them seeming to take damage from it, but I too have the damage indicators mod and I'll check it out too. In that case, no wonder I noticed no difference, lol. As for thinking the fire made battles shorter... placebo effect?
I can't confirm this either, but I can say that using a voters sword (which inflicts fire damage) can be used to get something good from a Blizz. I killed one earlier today and immediately got a nose from it.
IDK....Last year I only was getting the body parts after the event was over. It seemed like the Blizz Ards were like meh, just give it to him. lol Maybe it just is really random in when the drop happens.
