Reset Sleeper on Blue when Green Launches

[Daldaen]

I think you should reset the sleeper on Blue and prevent the script from triggering again. Just let the nerds who want to keep farming blue pixels have some “new” content in the form of the 4 warders they can farm every 5 days.

There’s been discussion about what kind of custom content belongs on Blue and I think the very first custom content should coincide with Green launch, and that would be to reinstate ST warders and disable the sleepers script so that they can be farmed until the end of time.

nope, sorry you lost

Just in time to ruin the new three way sleepers rotation!

yes

[therealmd]

This is actually a great idea for once.

[Wallicker]

WTB ST keys before this happens

[whitebandit]

They should leave sleeper dead until Green merge if it happens.

[Nirgon]

its a good thing they wont

[Naethyn]

Hard pass

[Jeni]

Doesn’t seem classic enjoying playing on your forever Velious box

[feniin]

Aftermath would ruin it the first day.

The whole point of green is so you can spend 4 years to get that warder loot you want on blue onto blue....

[Dillusional]

Also I feel like Daldaen quit years ago for instanced content on live TLP servers

[Baler]

While I'd love a reset of sleeper on blue. Nilbog stated it's very unlikely to happen.

Green sleeper will be a thing.

[Jimjam]

They should bring back sleeper in so far as the huge, basically unkillable dragon should not have disappeared.

Just have him keep flying round zone to zone killing everything on a huge rampage of vengeance.

Perhaps all the years of endlessly farming BIS will one day empower blue to kill kerafym himself.

I can already see the rant threads in server chat :o

Sorry, that't not on the solo artist (+10 clickies) challenge <3

..and for someone who likes "classic" and reporting not classic bugs (only on classes you don't play) , you know thats not classic.

I guess i'll have to get in /line then :p
I'm hyped for green sleeper. It's going to be a shitshow with so many tears.

Great idea.

It is acquired knowledge that Blue legacy items are no longer legacy - every ~4 years more of them will enter the server (including warder loot...).

Warder loot falling into this category as well, the rationale behind resetting ST on Blue is quite legit.
Preventing the script from being triggered would be perfect.

Those who spent the last few years being assholes to the 99% of the server pop, pretending they woke the sleeper "to experience unique content" or some other bullshit, can experience that unique content again on Green.

[Worry]

I agree, that playerbase who doesn't agree are likely just trolls.

Never really understood the point of removing some of the best loot and high end raid bosses in the game from a timelocked server.

[Deathrydar]

I agree, those who don't agree are likely assholes IRL

Wow.....

/smh

And Swish continues his streak of posts that are completely wrong in every way. Holy s*** man, at least take the time to post 150 chars to pass the bar for actually saying something, instead of just increasing your post count. Sigh.

Anyhow OP, +1 from me! Just be prepared that the neckbeard community on this server will always oppose every good idea. Despite that, keep them coming!

[Daldaen]

NOT CLASSIC

Well that’s the point of the Blue server now.

Pet windows, cycle Target window, custom UIs, 4 years of Velious. It’s designed to be not classic at this point.

The developers long stated that they were considering custom content for blue after reaching the final patch which it has. What better custom content than content that was already in game and got removed.

Just enable the sleeper warders to spawn again and disable the sleeper script so they will continue to spawn for the life of the server.

After that for additional custom content I think they could probably think about reinstating some of the other legacy drops. Manastones, Guises, Holgresh Beads, Lockets, Fungi staves etc. But in these cases I’d encourage them to place the drops on different mobs than originally dropped them. You don’t want these to be too absurdly common.

For example have one or two of them drop from mobs in the depths of Skyshrine, the random level 60-66 Named mobs that no one has ever killed. Have Neb in Dragon Necropolis drop another one, maybe have Seneschal or one of the Icewell named drop another one. Perhaps lockets drop rarely from guardian wurms or drakes in VP. Just as a few examples. Maybe manastones from Bladestorms or sphinxes in PoSky and Guises from 2nd floor dark elves in PoHate. Just as a few ideas.

Put these legacy items as fairly rare (1-2% for trash maybe 5% for single named like Neb or Seneschal) drops from a bunch of level 60+ content that sees little traffic due to its poor RvR in the classic state. I’d love to see full groups camping the giant kodiak in Icewell or the Named wurms in Skyshrine or farming Veeshans Peak trash for a low chance at a legacy item.

It's honestly hard to understate how perfect this argument is.

[Chortles Snort|eS]

its a good thing they wont

[coolget]

no

not classic

"it's already not classic" is not a good argument for making it even more not classic

[Daldaen]

It’s custom content which the developers have continually stated they’d like to do at some point. It inherently is not classic.

But my idea doesn’t create new items, new monsters, new quests, new methods of advancing your character.

It just brings back in a few monsters and items that were previously removed, to provide additional content to a server that will grow increasingly stale as it ages and as green becomes an alternative.

[Bazia]

would putting manastones back into blue also be custom content?

[Erati]

Just have Warders have a PH.

Maybe one day itll spawn and not the PH :)

[yyrkoon]

no

not classic

itt a bunch of retired red players who woke sleeper on red are qqing about sleeper reset on blue

???

[Endonde]

On one hand I would like to keep rare items rare, exclusive items is a big part of EQ, and i'm not sure we should completely take that away.

On the other hand if they just intend to roll green into blue, then those items will lose their rarity anyway, so might as well bring the warders back on Blue.

[Nathaniel]

...

That depends on how long the Sleeper gets to sleep on green. I suspect not long and those items will remain rare.

I imagine 1 guild will be able to easily control Sleepers on Green likely for the entire duration.

Naw dude, server is not "not classic" in the way you describe. In that regard you could justify just about anything by pointing out a few things that are "not classic" as a function of continuity. The reason you can still duck spell casts (I think) is the same reason they shouldn't change their mind on an important timeline issue such as Sleeper.

You nerds so desperate to have what you were denied. I'd suggest asking for something entirely different.

[Sonark]

no

not classic

"it's already not classic" is not a good argument for making it even more not classicThat isn't the only argument in this thread, and the other ones for this are much, much better.

And also pretty much inarguable.

So yeah. Reset the Warders.

It only makes sense.

[bigjeff100]

Every 4 years when green dumps into blue.. If it does in fact dump into blue.. Then the big dragon and his squad should also respawn.. Repeat.

look at this dweeb getting all pissy about someone else getting some sword

that smell of fear coming from you is delicious

dork lmao

[Baler]

Green Sleeper in the year 2021

[Trzzle]

Make all raid zones no CSR. That's true new content for you.

[Sunderfury]

And give Bladefrenzy access to Warder loot?

[Master Roshi]

It's not a bad idea, when we are talking in the realm of "custom content"

I always hoped Rog and the gang would revamp MM and add Mayong to the server, I remember a GM event on live with him in it, was epic.
