Horntail pendant drop?

So do you really have to wait until the timer is below 30 minutes? The server just DC'd me at 58 minutes with only the left head to go and I could have EASILY cleared it... Is it true the pendant won't drop unless you get lucky enough to sit there for nearly half an hour?

Sure would be nice if GMS made the same changes.

[quote=nc4228]For Horntail, u must kill after 30 min has passed since u broke the crystal to get drops (unless u have a party of 6+, not sure if they changed this rule). CHT, u MUST HAVE 10 people alive in the map at the time CHT is killed to get drops.[/quote]

Do you mean the purple orb thing you break to summon HT in his full form?

This whole 30 minute wait system originates in Maple SEA, they recently came to remove the system because it is ridiculous. Now in maple SEA they don't need to wait for drops at all and can kill whenever.

I can't remember what the changes to CHT were but they changed it as well.

Nexon has this to "stop hackers and botters" from farming pendents. Though I think this is outrageous partly because ht pendents are stupid nowadays given the alternatives.

I mean... I guess that makes sense to some degree, but I can guarantee you that even solo with only like 78k range self-buffed... it would NEVER take me even close to what they expect you to wait in there. And with the AMAZING server stability... especially on a 2x day... it is just so frustrating... I realize for most it is a small thing, but that would have been a pretty proud moment for me.

The logic is so bots or what-not cant farm htp. At least thats what I think... don't take my word for that it's just a hunch.

That's such an outrageously stupid mechanic... I would have easily finished with 50+ minutes on the clock... I mean, what is even the logic behind this? If you can legitimately clear it in like 10-20 minutes as a fairly weak Aran why even bother keeping this mechanic in place?

Unless you do the PQ previously, you need to wait for 30 minutes since you entered not that the timer has to reach under 30 minutes.

yea. For normal HT, you have to wait the 30 min. CHT you have to have 10 people alive
