GM Event

[Rogean]

There will be a GM Event tonight (January 1st). Details will be announced on the server as the event starts.

[Recyclebin]

Will lower level characters be able to participate? Edit: I wanted to imply do lower level players stand a fair chance to participate in the event 100%

Yes. From what I understand, in classic the GMs would port any higher lvl characters out of zone if they attempted to participate in the GM events that where not meant for their level.

right? ;D

[Levon]

Any kind of rough time of when the event will start?

[Reiker]

Hopefully this results in the opening of the Plane of Hate :)

Just a simple GM Event for some funski.

lol

[drplump]

Event was pretty balanced from what I saw there were lover level gnolls that had high hp but hit for lower damage for other lower groups to take.

[Reiker]

And then you had the lowbie guys ninja looting planar loot from guilds' kills.

[messiah_b]

Shouldn't be a big deal considering you already have them fully farmed and need new planes released.

Edit: And just to clarify I am only trolling Reiker not the GM's. Events are always appreciated and I wish I would have made it and gotten owned by some cool baddie.

[Reiker]

Ninja looting is never cool. Upgrades are upgrades.

[Rogean]

I put a ticket in to the data center to figure out why the server is lagging, but heres what I have for items:

Otto: Cryosilk Robe, Gold Threaded Tunic, Kavruul`s Mystic Pouch
Daydrem: AoN, Rubicite BP, Treasure Hunter`s Satchel
Tibador: Skull Mask of Innervation, Manastone, Journeyman's Boots


Still have Guise of the Deceiver or Tome of Unseen Darkness available @ Otto's pick first, then Daydrem. The 3 of you please PM Me with what chars are getting each item and I'll get it to them tomorrow.

Thanks.

Ninja looting is never cool. Upgrades are upgrades.

Neither is an entire guild hopping on the lower people's legitimate kills cool.

My group and I had to pull what we could by spamming high aggro spells and dragging them far from the rampant KSing done by the big raid groups. Even then out of all of the mobs spawned we only got 3. (one I solo'd 50-60% of it and then was invited to the group)

All said and done, it was fun anyways. The lag and guild-based exclusion on loot was unfortunate but, owell.

Whats funny is, the lag towards the end had nothing to do with the event, just the stupid internal data center lag thats been happening randomly. For the most part the event ran without any lag, which was awesome with 110 people in the zone at times.

MOAR

/cry I missed it. Can you have another one for me tonight? :(

[matahari]

Well i thought it was a great event , and had a lot of fun. There was a lot of ksing but that's gonna happen at events. There is noway to really be fair to the casual soloers and to the big raid groups. You could make it that the mobs all have 1 hp so everyone has a chance to get a kill. Still would be complaining. You could make it if your 5 levels higher than the mob you can't hurt it. "Too much coding for that , if it's even possible."

I thought it was fun and would like to thank the gm's for putting all the time into making this happen.

[Zithax]

yes fun time indeed

[nilbog]

I pieced together some random fraps shots from the GM event for those who couldn't attend.

I love how you can barely make me out throughout the video until Bar'Bark dies and falls forward, revealing me behind him, standing front and center :D
Cool music too, is that some kind of Twilight credits music that I just haven't heard or what?

[nilbog]

The song is titled "Someone to Watch Over Me", by Bear McCreary.

[Rogean]

The music was on Battlestar Galactica ^_-

[Hasbinbad]

Aha, that would be why I haven't ever heard it!
:P

[Rogean]

Don't hate on BSG >=\

[Pyrocat]

The music from BSG is half the reason I loved the show.

[Hasbinbad]

Don't hate on BSG >=\
Oh don't get me wrong, I *LOVE* Battlestar Galactica (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076984/), I just hate Battlestar Galactica (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407362/)! :P

[Rogean]

So you love terribleness and hate awesomeness? hmm.

[Reiker]

BSG was the best show I ever watched until season 3. It instantly got so bad I stopped watching. Still haven't stopped watching Lost and their third season was rough too.

You should definitely get back into it because it is worth it. Love that show and it is awesome from beginning to end just watch for rough patches along the way. BTW is that an ID pick from Xenogears? heh

Cool Video though I unfortunately missed the event due to work. Looked like a lot of fun.

[Reiker]

BSG third season wasn't so much a rough patch but them totally steering the series into full retard.
