I predict TMO and IB will merge

[Artaenc]

To kill AoW if the inactive people don't come back to play in Velious. What's your prediction?

If you haven't been paying attention. TMO will probably kill AOW in beta.

I just hope that Alarti and Getsome will fuck. The tension kills me.

It would be a good recruiting screen shot.

If the AoW is truly classic it should be possible to kill him with Kunark geared toons. The devs have specifically said they will tune him to be difficult there, but <shrug>

Enough inactive people will be back for Velious. Can't keep a dog from his meat [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If people can kill him in beta with under 100 people, he isn't even close to being correct. It took an entire expansion to farm tov just to be geared enough for it.

Can take your pick on any of these or all.

A) Pet tanking doesn't work here
B) Lack of Flurries from AoW
C) Weapon damage from end of velious vs end of Kunark.
D) HPs and AC( right Loraen?) from items much lower on Kunark vs Velious end game items.

Counterargument: server stability. It's much easier to maintain a reliable ch chain here than it was on live. If you can intentionally throw in some 4-5 sec lag spikes every 30 seconds or so, then it will be classic AoW.

I think we once joked around about making the npc randomly cause 3-5 people go LD during encounters to simulate how live was. When zones get around 100 people in there, it acts like live at least. I can only guess at how many people will be there just to try and swipe AoW if the guild that spawned him wipe. So I am sure that will act like live in a way making the zone unstable.

I know they were working on making zones more stable. No idea if they have reached that point if zones are still desync.

The amount of cleric bps will help a hell of a lot also. No knock on any guild, if they can kill AoW that way early on, then props to them.
