Decrease Angry Goblin spawn time

[Finkk]

I suggest that the angry goblin in Droga's spawn time be reduced from 72h + 10% variance to 48h + 10% variance.

Shady goblin (the quest mob before angry goblin) spawns every 24 hours with no variance. I've been trying to win the angry goblin roll for 3 months now (since 9/24) and I am seeing a steady climb in the # of rollers. When I first started rolling there would be 10-15 people at peak and it's now closer to 25-40 at peak. A slight decrease in spawn times would stop the increase and maaaaaaaybe help bring these numbers down slowly over time but still keep the quest painful for the masochists.

Most people can complete their epic faster than the time it would take to win this roll. Something needs to change.

This. 72h + 10% variance is insane. Even just removing the variance would be a huge win, and reducing the spawn to 48 or even 24 hours would help alleviate how backed up this step of the quest has become.

Every time there's 30+ people rolling now. Can we at least drop the variance or keep it and change it to 2 day? Desperate for some leeway here.

[Finkk]

This most recent roll at 11:30am EST had 28 people. Imagine peak hours.

One less day or a change in varience would help cut the crowd down.

I say increase it tbh

Agreed. It's one thing to make a single player spend 9 hours at a camp that they "own" with the hope that they alone will have the opportunity to get the quest piece.

It's quite different with angry goblin where 20+ players assemble to potentially sock for 7 hours waiting for the mere opportunity to roll. Then everyone has to do it again every 3 days over and over until they finally win the roll.

72 hours without variance or 24 hours with variance would be much more reasonable in my opinion.

You're more or less getting Luclin-era loot in Velious: it should be rare/hard.

But regardless of what it should or shouldn't be, it will be it's current timer, because that's how long it was on live, and the point of this place is to recreate classic EQ.

just trust me, i authored the wiki ya know

Do you not know what server you are playing on?

[Toxigen]

Or you could just not get SWC and your character will still be completely playable.

[Ripqozko]

Well you did get angry, just not the one you can wear.
Hope that helps.

[Chortles Snortles]

sorry you didn't
(lol)

All this over that ring?

It's not that good, brother. Just wear one of those +65 HP Velium rings.

I actually just got him tonight thanks to the quake :)

Still think the spawn time is horrid and should be changed though.

So that explains all the recent quakes. They're just trying to help more people get through this quest!

I'm sure it helped a lot! Since this post I've gotten it for myself and my brother and a few guildies have as well. You really just need to bind there and be able to immediately gate. It's the only way to go.

My God! So many whiny entitled babies here. Suck it up and just deal with it!

[Trexller]

72 hour +10% variance is 2 angry goblins a week. fuck that.

you can buy better in the bazaar for 1k on TAKP.

go play a real server.

there is NO way you will convince the 'classic' experience to reduce the timer without proof it should be different. your best bet is to get people to agree to a standard roll time at the start of the window, although not the same, similar to what happens with ring 8. otherwise enchanters would have convinced them to reduce VD spawn time, which is 2-7 days after it dies.... yes a 5-day window for a competitive mob.

[Coridan]

One of the key things about Everquest is that no, not everyone will get the best loot. Generally it didn't matter because the best loot gets replaced every year with the new expansion. Here with Velious that is obviously our finale, but just accept you might not get it.
