And then you join Pickup Raid #2 on Wednesday, you will be unable to reset until Monday, while everybody else from Pickup Raid #2 will be able to reset on Friday.
We experienced something weird in Temple last week. One of our guildmates was locked into a timer there with ~1 day left. I believe (can't look right now) the min. reset on that zone is 5-6 days? The other 23 of us went in without a lockout, zoned in, killed Selrach, zoned out. When I looked at our timers, we had a zone expiration time of 1 day, but we were min. lockout'd for the full reset. So...our instance actually expired but we were stuck with a 5 day lockout. I could have sworn we have done the same thing with temple or VS before, and killed it twice in two days. Anyone know if this changed at all?

Yay for killing 150 trash mobs with no reward! They should've just fixed the respawns so it couldnt be farmed, now we get to waste our time. Fuck SOE.

It takes an hour to clear all the trash. It's called a time-sink, deal with it. Not to mention, don't you think there'd be minions of the sub-bosses? Or are they just gimp fucks who stand around by themselves unprotected? Oh, woops!

I know it's a time sink, you just rephrased what I fucking said in my post. Everyone was happy when RoK raids came out with limited trash mobs. When SoH came out with all the trash in zone, it was nice to actually have a chance of getting something for your time.

Anyways, I'm tired of SOE not making up their fucking mind about anything. When the zone first went live, there were x3's in there. SO you had to drop a group in order to have a chance at getting loot off them. THEN, they changed, and made them x4, seemingly so it would be less of a hassle to get the loot, since you dont have to drop a group any more. NOW they do this shit. They need to make up their minds before this shit goes live so we have less to cry about.

You must have had some bad luck. Or we had good luck. We were in there the same night as you and we didn't even clear all the trash but we had 7 trash drops.

Strange we kill all those mobs and not get a single piece of loot but you did, doesn't make sense to me. Well now I can't wait for this silly zone's timer to reset to find out. Anyone else have good or bad luck in there tuesday night? Or the rest of the week even?

Edit: I wonder if the trash only drops to x3 raids, we ran a full raid cause we were there to kill names. Did you run x4?

Have you done VP and seen the trash mobs in there? What's that you say, you haven't done VP and haven't realized that RoK's premier raid zones are full of trash? Ooh yah.....
