    It's pretty clear from the OP that you are eligable for all prizes but can only win one. They draw prizes in a specific order (presumably based on their assessment of most desirable to least), and once your name comes up, you are removed from contention for any subsquent prizes.

    So in your example above, you would win the prize for highest global in the top maturity block only.

    What Jim has mentioned is correct, that's what the rules mean.

    Has anyone update the forum bestiary or entropedia with revised raptor stats since the recent adjustments? I'm particularly interested in max damage so I can pick my armour.

    The dmg has been adjusted a lot on the large Riptor, I usually do them with Nemi+5b (SI Heart & Gyro 14 fapper). I still sometimes die from the crits tho with Stalkers capable of hitting 200+.

    Yep i know the damage has changed. Just wondering if the change has been quantified.

    Yes, those Old Alphas to Stalkers hit me like those Araneatroxes do on Calypso.

    I was in the 278 dmg range while I was mining around them, at least their agro isn't as bad as the Araneatrox (spiders) on Caly, those Araneatrox are legendary for giving me a hard time mining at Minopolis or the Rig PvP2 area. Yep, no matter what armor you have on, a crit hit is a crit hit, it goes right through the armor and plates (if you have them in the armor). It seems that the maturity of the Old Alpha through Stalkers of the Riptors never miss me and always hit their mark (er, bite their Quark, in my case).

    I think if they are so aggressive peeling back some of the damage potential would be good, because if you look at the Level # they are sitting at, doesn't make that much sense or at least update the L #. :surrender:

    Something else I have noticed, I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but every time a natural spawn is found, Riptors tend to be near water. Similar to the idea of Allophyls on Caly being found near water.

    Is there any truth to this logic, Cyrus? Did you guys do this on purpose for the Riptors?

    Right. Bummer though! Because if you got top globals in all, well you know.

    Biggest uber doesn't mean you win, the guy with biggest uber may have already won a prize.

    Yeah, I was surprised today to find that I could handle the Riptor Stalkers without too much trouble in Liakon/Ghost +5B. It's not real eco so I'll stick to the smaller ones. Since Riptor Stalkers are not too hard, I think they should add one more category for the ubers, a new mob using the original stats of the Riptor Dominant... maybe call it Riptor Dominator.

    I was out the other day and the argo is still high it seems if you have any within your 2nd ring you will have several jump you. so the agro is my only concern not that i cant take them down but that you have 6 on you at a time could get a little hard unless i want to use a gun with major overkill lol. so is the agro going to be fixed or will it remain the same? even though they do not agro as bad as the Araneatrox they still agro pretty bad.

    seems like entropedia is a little behind on the riptor info some data is missing could we get the actual stats of the riptors or is there a play that already has it?

    OH CRAP!!!! I just realized why the new spawns aren't showing up.... The end of the world is clearly starting on the other side of the planet from me, at least I had this warning that it was all real before it reached my side of the globe, I shall now go and get my entire families tinfoil body armor from the shed and rebuke the reptilian shapeshifters that did this to us.

    I sent a PM to Cyrus asking where the new spawns are, as they are not at the suggested coords or even nearby??

    Oh wow, huge relief there, if the other side of the world was already gone then you clearly wouldn't have been able to post that message XD and yeah i looked all nearby, maybe the end of the world is starting one virtual creature spawn at a time?
