People have been whining about wanting instant engages since those rules were put into place. Maybe binds are getting removed next patch and they are preparing for that? /shrug

I was curious upon reading all ToV / Tormax / Statue rules removed. What does that mean? Foot races no longer a thing but FTE is still respected? (i.e. can camp on spawn points for FTE?)

Was done super early in the morning too... perhaps Sirken got fed up with angry Petition/LawyerQuesters?

No rules = No CSR? Thatll be fun.

Otherwise it'll be like Noble or Lodi. Spam pet attack. Just need to have your raid force all poopsocking with you for 16 hours. Just in time for Summer lol

Rygar
06-16-2017, 08:30 AM
Well 1hr engage is no longer a thing it seems, so pet attacking in ToV to get FTE doesn't seem to do a thing. Would need to have force parked at the spawn point for engage (unlikely) or at zone in (likely), and the pull team essentially tracking to do the pull before anyone else.

Q12: What exactly does the Staff consider a stall?
A: As far as engage stalls, the Staff will grant you one DA, or about that much time on an engage before considering it a stall. So it’s important that guilds do not engage a mob until they are ready to kill it. The spirit of the rule (and what we are looking to do here) is to prevent guilds from locking up a target before they are ready to kill it, just to prevent other guilds that are ready to kill it first/faster. If you stall, you need to drop aggro immediately and concede/forfeit the mob. Any number of players can be considered to be stalling a mob, what we look for is the engage of the kill force. I know some of you want an exact number of seconds, or players, or DPS done, but the fact is that’s just not realistic with guilds being so vastly different in numbers and strength while also competing for the same content. The most important thing here is the statement about the spirit of this rule stated above.

Pulling ToV dragons to the zone in/out can take a lot more than 30 seconds... I foresee a lot of unintentional "stalling" coming into play?

For those of you who are wondering, this change will definitely make the raid scene "more hardcore". Its going to waste a lot more peoples time than the footrace system because now the entire raid has to be ready to log in at a moments notice. I think the days of rapid CoTH botting are back upon us =(

Old System - Aftermath gets FTE - yay! - now we have 1 hour to casually log in characters, send batphones, dick around setting up CH chain, wait on people to arrive, send people out to get in position to train mobs around ToV, ect, ect. 1 hour is a good amount of time.

New System - During windows for mobs you want the entire raid has to basically be sitting at the login screen ready to log in within 20 seconds of the mob spawning. "Has to" because that's what A/A will turn it into. Burn out will increase, but maybe that's the point.

Finding light in the darkness - If this doesn't lead to a rotation I am not sure what will. Will Deotxx and Breaken let the filthy casual in? Or will it be 2-3 guild domination? The casual is Detoxx's most hated creature so I'd imagine the latter.

Lol Sirkens keepin things interesting around here. Instant pulls won't be a thing for most mobs. I feel this, along with the leashing change, is an attempt to nudge the community to agree to a rotation. Guilds are just gonna be cothing around ToV to kill shit again. This is gonna be fun.

Pertinent:

Q15: Are either of my two trackers allowed to get FTE?
A: Absolutely not. If one of your trackers gains FTE, you need to drop aggro immediately and concede/forfeit the mob.

Q16: Are we allowed to bind at raid mobs? And/or camp out toons at raid mobs?
A: Absolutely not.

So I guess with the new change pre-parking becomes the what decides a mobs fate. Basically this seems like a good change for casuals if they can respond to batphones and have one tracker. Besides TOV anyways I think that will remain the relatively exlusive realm of the haardocre.

An education for you douche knots...

The way this worked (with variations depending on ntov vs. wtov vs. hot spawn) before the race rules were in place was that a mage would be hidden in a non line of sight location near the dragon in window and cast CoTH on a monk that was locket bound at west exit, with a TL box or gate pot. The monk gets FTE and takes that TL box/clicks pot and the dragon starts marching all the way to west exit (active FTE) and is either tagged towards the entrance while all of the trash continues to west exit or is pulled to west exit while the trash is peeled back north (usually in the west wing) depending on which location your raid is set up. The whole thing takes somewhere between 45 seconds and 2.5 minutes, depending on where the dragon spawns, from the cast of the coth to the CHs landing on a tank vs. an unslowed dragon. FTE never breaks and the dragon has to come straight to your camp or you're stalling.

It took a ton of coordination between the pull team, the players tagging trash, the train up, the CH chain being made on the fly, the tank(s), the slows, etc.

Only a few of these players would be at their keyboard/logged in when the mob spawns, and the rest filter in during the pull or after the engage via wakeup channel or batphone.

2 huge factors to how this is way more difficult in June 2017 compared to late 2015/early 2016:

1. People aren't as in to the whole deal any more. It's going to be a huge task for the leadership of any guild to convince 30-50 players, hardcore and casual alike, to get their asses in gear on such short notice. It was one thing in the Rampage v. F/A days when Velious was exciting and new. It is a completely different raid scene with already near burnt out players now.

2. The lazy agro mechanic turns makes the FTE and pull much more difficult. Only 2 guilds (A/A) can even do it on command at the moment and it requires several minutes of coordination and knowledge of the mechanics from multiple players. Doing it instantly outside of US primetime is going to be nearly impossible.

I foresee mages set up by A/A. They'll coth their pullers in and wait for the support to arrive and set up, and then go in for the pull. Kind of like waiting to engage Trak or Yeli until the right classes/players are in position. Petitions and stall calls will once again lead to suspensions.

Either that or Detoxx and Breaken will come to an agreement and continue to have fun cooperating. Casuals will continue to pound sand.

Tldr: Its gonna be tough for A/A players and be 100% impossible for anybody else to kill anything else in NToV or Doze, unless A/A is suspended.

The system we have right now causes more burnout actually. It requires more tracking hours and more racers than instant pulls ever did.

This change actually takes us back to the old system and gets rid of the new system. This is something A/A has been asking for. Why would a change that locks the casual guilds out of targets even more force A/A into a rotation?

Instant engages were a thing before, calls of stalking only happened when the dragon started going west or back north instead of to the zone in. If you haven't ever participated sometimes it's best to just keep quiet.

So you're calling me casual based on your personal opinion and definition. I guess you're time in rustle reality hasn't helped you...

Casual to me means I attend raids and respond to batphones when it doesn't inconvenience me. Meaning I don't wake up at all hours, I don't use my phone as a hot spot and raid from my car. If I am at home playing another game and I get a batphone I will probably log on using my 3rd monitor in order to get dkp and RA.

You made up your own definition of casual. At least try to keep up rather than reaching out to people like Caiu, it just looks pathetic.

In fact you always had a higher RA than I did when you were still in AM, before you left and drank the rustle koolaid and started butt buddying with Caiu, so who is the actual casual?

Stalling rules never made sense to me. It's okay to pull ToV dragons to zone in but not targets like Trakanon or Venril Sathir.

Tracker rules are equally inane. Why have limits on the numbers that can camp out on a boss if CoTH is allowed anyways? Isn't CoTHing in a raid force pretty much equivalent to just camping on the boss? It creates a situation where everything is pulled to zone in because players won't want to be flagged as 'trackers' if another dragon pops after a clear is started.

Most of the casuals left on this server don't give a fuck about your dragon pixels. If they did they would either be apping your guild or starting Agnarr. Unreal you guys can't see that by now


CASUALS BURNING IT TO THE GROUND

BURN IT ALL

Yep. What we had in place was the most sensible compromise of sanity in this horrible raid scene and it's a straight up stupid move to go back to instant pulls. Enjoy the extra CSR time I guess. I'm glad it's gonna help burn out A/A more, they deserve every bit of this self-imposed hell, but you made raiding even less accessible that it was to the majority of the server. Bad call.

Best change ever. I might actually log into ToV/Kael to watch it unfold (I won't).

you mean instead of answering a batphone and waiting 45min-1hr for a dead dragon it will be dead in 15min tops? That is sure going to burn me out even faster

A/A tried to circumvent the P99 GM Interventionism by making their own rotation agreement, thus ending much of petitionquest while still keeping pixels in their pockets only. I've said it all along... That's not how things work 'round here. Guilds WILL be suspended, guilds WILL be punished, and you can't do anything about it. Heck you basically slapped GMs in the face by doing what you did. I am expecting many suspensions in the next few months to make up for what y'all did!

No, the rules changed and we are back to instant pulls which means you have the mob dead or you are dead within 15min or its spawn. Clearly you are new here.

so if nilbog removes tov binds, will the pulls be super hard?

Harder that is for sure, but not impossible. Would just take more people being involved in the actual pull to secondary

No. You can still do the exact same pulls with mages.

Hahaha

This is so obvious why do you need a full thread about it?

1) noone likes AA, not even the staff
2) this rule is to pressure you away to Agnarr
3) you will not leave, however you will want to merge into one A (a hole) guild

Have fun splitting loots and wiping more on some of the more difficult raid encounters.

This is great news :)

What hate did he incite, and in what context did he use homophobic slurs? Man, if these things are true my opinion is going to sink even lower for Swish.

I liked the Swish I thought I knew before; the cat-loving, free-spirited helpful internet nerd that made cute gifs with cats.

If these allegations are true I am done with you Swish. Please say these awful things aren't true. :(

Swish has memory loss when someone else remembers his shenanigans and at the same time claims to be a p99 historian himself. Funny guy
