Item Drops - At the start of the day, Karl will provide an announcement about one to three ‘prize dumps’ on the island. These prizes may be consumables, pieces of artefacts, or quest items. Consumables should be sell-explanatory. ‘Pieces of artefacts’ should be partially self-explanatory. There will be a few artefacts dropped on the island, and if one player can assemble them (each will come in anywhere from 2 to 4 pieces), they will gain use of that artefact until they are eliminated, die, abandon it, give it away, or destroy it. Drops are first come, first serve, but if multiple primes are on the same subzone as a drop, this triggers an immediate Challenge, unless they're friends or someone slinks away into the shrubs.


Next drops will land at 4:30 PM CDT today

They will be located at

B7
E2
A13

Are the primes notified of the locations of the item drops currently or at 430 when they drop?

[Karl Jak]

The tablet would notify you ahead of time.

"Hey, there's going to be a present waiting at Subzone X at high noon. Smooches."

[Odin]

What happens if 3 people are on a spot waiting for a drop and therefore enter a fight. Then I enter the subzone while they are fighting and search for the item. Do I steal it while they are distracted or is it reserved for the winner of the fight?

[Karl Jak]

The winner.

You need to be at the subzone if you wanna be in on the brawl.

The reward brackets are based on pickups. If Enel and Jon Snow, as a team, grab a pickup, or Enel, Jon Snow, Jimmy Saville, Mick Rory, SAAP-J Esquire, Don McDonald, Donald Trump, James McAvoy, and Captain Picard grab a pickup, do they all get that +1 to pickups grabbed? Just making sure.

[Karl Jak]

Hmm.

Part of me kind of want to say they each get a fraction of a pickup, in the event that people just try to roll super groups to scare people off from pickups?

Dunno how I feel about it, though.

[Karl Jak]

(if all the items on the list are dropped in the quantity I am aiming for, there would be at least 52 pick ups)

[Little Ghost]

[Today 14:14] Little Ghost : Oh!
[Today 14:14] Little Ghost : The drops
[Today 14:14] Little Ghost : Are they brought in via plane, teleporter, or meteoric impact?
[Today 14:16] Little Ghost : Crrection, should ask this in QQs

So, how are the drops "spawned in" on the map? Or are the ways up to he one that finds them?

[Karl Jak]

They drop from the sky like something in Call of Duty.

On the way down, they sparkle and spit out purple fireworks.

(this is so that everyone in the subzone knows the exact location)

[The Humble Sage]

Regarding the new cooldown on posts, Does this include posts that do not move a character? (Say two characters having a conversation for example)

[Karl Jak]

Nope.

It's just Movement posts.

If you're just posting hanging out with your pal, you guys can post as much as quickly as you please.

[Gildarts]

Is the new movement cool down applicable per team or per player?

[Karl Jak]

Per team.

Just to extra clarify, you and illidan can post as much as you want hanging out, exploring ,waxing philosophical, etc ... but you can only Move to a different subzone once per hour.

[Strazio Rockwell]

Can I choose to forfeit my after fight combat cooldown and get into another fight right afterwards?

[Handsome Jack]

Because YOU challenged, you don't get a cooldown.

[Strazio Rockwell]

Ah okay, well can I choose to forfeit it if I'm the one xhallenged?

[Handsome Jack]

Don't see why not. It's just there to keep people from bullying folks.

[Karl Jak]

Yes, just let me know that you're opting not to take a cooldown, Straz

[Gildarts]

How long is allotted for whether or not people accept a challenge or try to flee? Is it 20 hours?

[Corporal Light]

Subzones D9 to D18 are permanently flooded, with water levels up to about four feet (sorry to all you shorties out there).

I feel like this should be obvious to me, but when you say this, do you mean that the water only goes about as deep as four feet, or that the water level is, at minimum, four feet?
