<3 zone crashes + resets

[Sinlea]

so much fun.

[Skope]

is that 3 or 4 zone crashes?

i guess the question i should be asking is how many more will there be?

[fuji]

Did you guys take CT and all the demi's?

[Pyrocat]

IB got CT, Divinity called timer on DA on Draco and got the kill.

[Audacious93c]

IB kept aggroing CT so death touches kept resuming, over and over and over and over and over. How many times did we log out? (I didnt keep count, sorry) Zone crashed 4 times (If you dont know, all of the mobs in fear repop when the zone crashes. So we had to kill the same mobs all 4 times). All the while, our timer is steadily running out on our draco kill. O yea, I almost forgot! We were also trained by IB pulling mobs through us as well. (Jete and Vittra to be specific, but I didnt say it was intentional mind you :rolleyes:) Divinity did play the good grace, and extend our time a bit. But thats the whole story, since we want to air it out to everyone else on the server.

In my personal opinion based on hindsight; DA should have just called the timer on CT. (But then were not even sure that the zone crashes werent player caused, so who knows if the zone would have crashed if we did call a timer on them. Rogean did make an appearance to say that they were player caused if we want to cut the sarcasm.) Really, with the 35 people that Divinity had there. They could have just called the timer on CT instead of Draco! Its not as if CT is any harder than draco if you havent experienced raid content before.

Feiel (which is a GM) sat there and watched us for a good bit of time. He saw the timer being called, he was there for the zone crashes and he conveniently disappeared when we were trained. Coming back only 10 minutes after which. Just in time for Divinity's timer to end. From there, he ignored anything we said and made sure that Divinity got the kill. To say he is in favor of one guild in particular is probably not the case, but it is easy to say that he has a distaste for Dark Ascension and I do not say that lightly. If anything, that screenshot of Feiel's tell to you in particular says exactly what he thinks of our guild. Especially since Ive seen a similar screenshot from an IB member when we were the only other guild around. Professional attitude was on that GM application somewhere, right? :rolleyes: Thanks for keeping the playing field fair.

Mobs tougher in fear? Or no difference?

[Skope]

I noticed no difference really. Is that a bad thing? Might want to get some perspective from melee, though.

[astarothel]

Up next on Fox Forum news:

A guild doesn't get a kill, and accuses another guild of crashing the zone and training them. They accuse another guild with fewer members there than their zerg force present in being in some sort of elaborate conspiracy to keep them down. They subsequently level claims of inappropriate GM conduct against a P99 staff member.

Oh wait, that's not fucking newsworthy it happens every time a guild doesn't get something they want.

lol

but no seriously looking forward to overcrowded raid zones and server crashes in the future. hooray for the poopsockers!

[eldub]

Mobs didn't seem to be hitting any harder than normal, I tanked all the different types + Draco last night.

Not sure if NPC mitigation changed any, I rarely pay attention to my melee damage.

"conveniently disappeared"... I would rather call it "Feiel went to eat because he realized he had no food in the house and it was 1:30 AM". I'm sorry I had to leave for a bit and actually put a source of energy into my body. I left after the zone crashed (3rd time at that point?) and I saw that every guild was not being raped by the re-pops.

In regards to my "poopsock" comment... Don't take it as a personal attack on your guild :). In fact, I think many players from the guilds involved would be a self-admitted poopsocker. Do I care that characters sit there days on end for an encounter? No. Do I think its a bit crazy? A little bit. Maybe I'm the crazy one who is spending hours of my day watching a zone that has been crashing over and over. But you will never find me bashing any particular guild out of my own bias. Why? Because I don't have one.

Yes, I am sure professionalism was one quality that is evaluated throughout the guide application. I've even reviewed my app after being a guide for a period of time. Most of everything I answered would still be the same and I would only make a few minor tweaks after knowing how some things work. If it is not professional for me to interact with the players in a semi-casual level... I don't know what to tell you. I will joke around and occasionally mingle with the community when the petition queue is not blowing up.

I'm sorry there were not enough mobs to go around last night, but I hope everyone has a fun/safe 4th weekend! Don't poopsock to much everyone! :)

Definitely felt the AC change.


Re: audacious, I think every guild kept aggroing CT not just IB. The DTs start when someone aggros Draco, CT, OR any of the Golems, so eveyrone had plenty of chances to accidentally get aggro. From our perspective, it was mostly other people aggroing, not us :) I'm sure everyone feels the same way about their guild.

As for the training accusations, I was in vent and Jete intentionally *avoided* training your camp and only got aggro in the first place because a DA puller (taichi? sp?) FDed mobs on him during a pull, probably by accident. There were plenty of claims of foul play and "zomgz I'm frapsing!". If you have them by all means post them. Vittra was pulling the opposite side of the zone, so I don't see how she could have trained you either.

As for the "All the while, our timer is steadily running out on our draco kill." that's just plain not true. The timer restarted every time the zone came back up from 30 minutes. The final time the zone came back up, Divinity called 30 minutes and DA had 30 uninterrupted (except random DT) minutes of clearing time to get to and kill Draco, but they didn't manage it. It was a shitty situation having to clear to Draco on a full zone repop with random CT aggro, but that's the way it goes.

Grats to Divinity on a clean kill.

Mob AC is very noticeable. Focused necro pet has never hit for more than 53 (60 cap) with the vast majority of hits falling in a 28-44 range.
