If you can't complete these raids with the wealth of information and higher dps/hps/tps available to you now, flasks aren't going to help.


You're missing what is the real issue here. There isn't enough black lotus spawning each week to supply for 1 flask to each main tanks in every raiding guild per week at the moment. This is a systemic problem, no matter what the current available raids are.
That being said, the spawn rates will remain the same if nothing is done while the population and the amount of raiders/raiding guilds as well as the amount of gold sellers and chinese node campers will keep going upwards.

I can confirm he is a fat dwarf on a fast tiger. If you don't have the 3 mount speed boosts you're pretty much out of the lotus race now.

Well met.


Yeah they stack for sure. Even with the 3 speed boosts, if you're up against a good mage its over. As a rogue I sprint 5 seconds before the gate opens to try and be the first on my mount. Have also seen people use their skull for the same purpose.

Awesome D2 reference lol, my single most favourite game ever.

Yes the lotus still spawns, but it seems to only spawn in one location, the closest one to field of strife. This is a problem because horde will get it 100% of the time. Nost please fix.

You do realize that running around EPL for 30 seconds and not seeing a lotus does NOT mean it sin't spawning and seeing lotus spawn in the same spot 2 AV games in a row does NOT mean that's the only place it is spawning, right?
