Initial Holiday Feedback: 10.28
Now that the invasion is finally in full swing and Plaguespaces are open, I would appreciate any feedback that can be offered about this event during it's duration.
Please keep the following in mind before you post; the invasion is still becoming progressively larger, Exploding Rat Kittens are not working properly at the moment, and Sol is not the only Plaguespace.
Your feedback will help me make alterations to the invasion as it progresses as well as give me ideas on how to make next year's even better.

Re: Initial Holiday Feedback: 10.28
In 10 minutes in Sol I got 2 ghoststreams, a shades cloak, a haunted house and a load of kittens. In 1 hour in plaguespace killing the deepest level I got 1 zombie bite. Seems worthwhile to me. Why are the undead broodmothers so much weaker and drop so much worse loor than the lesser broodmother? Whats with the weird resists? Space rat invaders have better resists than the broodmothers? Please put a decay time on the Undead Rat Kittens, you know how tedious it is killing fighters with the thoraxes I take into the dg?
Apart from that I enjoyed it, the lesser broodmother spawn was a great addition, shame for everyone else that I camped it and got 3 out of 5 spawns in one day. I was present for the 4th but I let OP have it.
And make the exploding kittens into missiles.

Re: Initial Holiday Feedback: 10.28
While understanding it's still underway, thus far It's far to easy . . . I'd like to see some rats later on that are comparable to MF pics/forgones/bgs in difficulty, preferably who also give some decent drops

Re: Initial Holiday Feedback: 10.28
more stuff dropping from the brood/horrific undead rat no keys dropping in "boss" level make the bosses harder
well that's kinda it. apart from the above, i really enjoyed camping there. i was camping for 3 hours in there and got phantomstream, 3 werewolve bites, lots of candy tweaks, 2 broodmother squeaks and a shitload of (exploding)rat kittens.

Re: Initial Holiday Feedback: 10.28
the drop rate is somewhat less then impressive..but it is an improvement on last unis. less camping and there are some you can get to and just be alone and enjoy yourself. but the drop rate is atrocious! lol

Re: Initial Holiday Feedback: 10.28
Yeah the drop late on loot in plaguespaces is incredibly low. Much lower than that of the roaming rats.

Re: Initial Holiday Feedback: 10.28
Great event so far, but what I definatly miss is an AI that takes multiple players to kill, like an uber or something, that would've been fun

Re: Initial Holiday Feedback: 10.28
Less Rats, harder Rats, increased drop rate. Put those in and it'd make everything alot better P.S Please move Alby from Emp Bio.

Re: Initial Holiday Feedback: 10.28
keep the amount of rats as it is, it is an invasion after all.
spawn harder rats, i dont know about the difficulty of picks but atleast BG's.
the drop rate is absolutely horrible, as Stooch said, I can spend less then 10 mins killing spawn in sol and get much better drops then i would in a plaguespace for an hour.

Re: Initial Holiday Feedback: 10.28
Obviously everyone wants more loot out of this. The only issue I have with raising the drop rates is that some of the holiday items that are supposed to be rare will end up being extremely common and someone will farm way too many of them. Currently the drop rate on Halloween items is set between 7%-20%. 7% for the highest tier of items, 20% for the lowest tier. (This applies to the rats outside of Plaguespace too)
With something like the Rat Kittens or the Exploding Rats, I don't mind so much, they're not very powerful and they're pretty much toys. With some of the tweaks, drones, etc, then there might be a problem.
Lesser Broodmother is a mini-boss, she is meant to be tougher than the Plagued Broodmothers in the Perilious Plaguespace.
Has anyone found an 'Undead Rat Breath' yet?

Re: Initial Holiday Feedback: 10.28
bring the drop rate to 10-25% or something and reduce the drop rate on both of the rat kittens, I have over 2k hull and I managed to almost fill up with rat kittens.
