Ring 8 roll moving

[Goodest]

Starting on the 27th of May the 8th ring roll will be moving to 7:30 pm EST.

Mob doesn't pop till 8 pm est now.

Unless EQ / reset

[Skitliv]

15 people didnt read this. 10 people did. clusterfuck at ring 8 now. It needs to move up tho. 1 hr 40 mins early isn't going to work.

[Atmas]

Why not just set it to be always 30 minutes before the mob pops?

[Goodest]

Why not just set it to be always 30 minutes before the mob pops?

means the hand in time needs to be posted.

[elwing]

It's so nice trying to lock ring 8timer...now if you could not lock it at 1:30am...

[feniin]

Roll @ 6:30 was 974/1000 by Tibbz.

[Goodest]

this needs to move up to 7:30 pm est.

[Joessins]

Yes, Tibbz won roll at 6:30pm est. Seems majority of peeps accepted the new 730pm est change starting 5/29. Please let ur guildis know. We dont want to cause more hassles.

[Goodest]

Requesting a change to the player made agreement, move the Ring 8 roll to be like the scout and angry roll when it spawns and the people there to help.

[ssin314]

those who showed up at 630est today agreed to forgo rolls and come back at 730. new ring8 roll time 730est now should be confirmed.

This. would help eliminate the stupidity of it ending up 1hr prior to spawning and whatnot.

How many people show up for the roll? You’re telling me people log in, roll for the right to do the quest, then stand around and help the winner?

So there might be someone that’s been waiting weeks to win the roll? And people are willing to do this?

[Joessins]

So today we brought up an Idea of creating a player List for this roll. I am assuming the way this would work is a List on the Forums. First come first serve. Guarantees you a time to roll. However, we would need this administered by a GM to help keep others from taking another's time slot. But also, if someone doesnt show up, the next in line would get that roll. So the chances of 1 day going by w/o a roll are lower. Lets have others opinons on this idea of a list. And lets be professional about this talk, no need for sarcasm or negativity.

[Joessins]

I do like the idea of it being the same way as scout/angry. And people helping. Would probably complete fix everything.

No, before now there was no agreement to help the winner. Which can cause a delay if the winner has trouble organizing a small force capable of killing the chief and running back to hand in head before the shit hits the fan.

Sounds like people are trying to change it.

How about being a bit less selfish U.S players ? :)
We , european players , already get screwed on every earthquake (always happens between 3 and 6am)..
And now you lock the 8ring roll at 1.30am..

[Kubaton]

The irony in that statement gets me, Jaywu.

On live. The Euros did that to the Americans... getting anything to spawn on our times was rare. We had to wake up at 2-5am to raid for YEARS.

Just sayin... Guess its classic =)

[elwing]

Can't wait to see if you won't try to move it once it will quake at 2am your time... 24h spawns with no variance makes no sense in eq...

So true we European players never ever have rolls our timezone. And we for sure do not need you guys to reset it to your primetime.

I do not support this player (american) settlement.

I don't know.. so you think because people did that to you on live you must do the same now on p99 ? :p
I don't remember well cuz it was 10-15 years ago but there were many servers on live and you could probly pick one with more american players. Whereas here on p99 we have no choice.
It seems we just have to deal with it or quit the game if unhappy :/

So you're saying the classic solution is to have spawns and rolls at times convenient to Europeans?

Moving scout roll to 7:30 pm GMT summertime, mates! Sorry, but it's classic.

[saftbudet]

To make it fair for everyone it would be nice to add or subtract 4h to the timer. 24 static spawns for quest turn ins with gms that only quake on us prime time is not fair.

Lodi for example is not an issue because his respawn time is not a full 24h cycle.

[Crank]

Dude the last 3 times were like 1:30AM in the US. How long have you even been doing this?

[Crank]

Not long enough if you don't know up to this one spawn its been terrible for US players.

[Crank]

Also when a quake happens is how this resets time, players don't control quakes staff does. And trying to control a quake time for your one current selfish mob desire? I am sure bigger concerns influence those.

[Jaywu]

Hehe Crank , bad faith spotted... i won't even argue about your 2 first posts :p
Concerning quakes time, i was not trying to start a war between US and EU players, just saying it would be better if everyone could be happy and not always the same people.
However , i agree on the fact that players don't control quakes.

[Crank]

To be honest I am not even that concerned, just trying to up my post count to see whats after scrawny gnoll. However, I just dont see your side of the coin at all, "better" times means people bring out their third alt cause its easy and you end up with more than 15 people rolling. I would go further and say you are holding a spawn duration that was great for live with 40+ servers and tons of 10 year olds smacking the city guards over and over. However, we are the beardiest necks you may see and yea 24 hours is a rough time period the way I currently lose on this roll, lol.

[elwing]

I wonder how these "don't move ring 8"will react now....

[saftbudet]

Euro time quake, I guess gms listen!?

Thanks for giving euro players a chance for 8th ring!

:D:D:cool::cool:

[stallionman59]

Wonder what time is now...

[saftbudet]

Here is info about roll time (agreed by around 10 persons at location) Roll was done 17:30 CET

Glora spawned 18:20 CET.

Finally some Euro times for 8th ring! There is now a good chance for us to win rings.

[stallionman59]

So that's 1130 Central and 1220 central? Us here

[saftbudet]

Need to correct myself i meant CEST since its summertime.

To make it easier we all know what time when quake happened rougly x hour : 08 mins

So quake was 18:08 my timezone.
Glora now spawns 18:20 my timezone
Roll that we did today was 17:30 my timezone.

[Joessins]

Ok so just to be clear for those who are not military time smart or CEST, ESt, blah blah...
Ring roll is at 11:30am Eastern. Then Glora will spawn at 12:20PM Eastern. Just want to clear this up for everyone. Thank you and GL!

[elwing]

I am sorry to announce that today glora spawnd at xx26, and that unfortunately due to a harmony issue, it was pushed to xx34 or so, sorry for that...

[Pootle]

I won on 11-Jun-19

As above, the roll was at XX:30
5:30pm Europe time
4:30pm UK time
11:30am Eastern

The NPC spawned at XX:42 (1hour 12mins after roll)

We had a 30sec delay on turn-in, then the event was performed with no
further delays, and head turned in as soon as guy yelled CHARGE.

Good Luck to all future rollers.

[nostalgic99]

How many people typically roll for ring 8 every time ?

[Dugface]

How many people typically roll for ring 8 every time ?

Too many.

[elwing]

Way less than scout for example

[Pootle]

Currently on this Euro afternoon (US morning) time slot:

Sat/Sun - maybe 15 to 18 people

Weekday - maybe 10 to 15

[nostalgic99]

Just curious. What is the rule for ring 8 turn in when there is a quake? Would there be a roll? Or it would just be first come first serve for that first one after quake?
