Nope. You started a poll asking "who do you want to get the first kills in velious"---answering "I don't care" and explaining why is a legitimate answer.

Sorry if its not the one you wanted.

Bottom line is that this server would be a whole lot better if the "hard core" pixel chasers relaxed a little bit and weren't willing to be total dicks to each other over raid targets.

I voted TMO cause I'm a big jerk.

I couldn't possibly care less who gets zerg-raid kills on content they overgear a year+ after it was supposed to be released and over a decade after it was last relevant. Don't think AoW/ST-key mobs won't be zerged down HARD, either. These aren't Sev kills where no one really cares and attendance is more a pride thing than anything else. This is Phara Dar-level stuff and every guild member will turn up.

The whole "server first" thing only applies if there's significant challenge involved. That we have ever tracked server first kills on this server is a little silly. That anyone at all cares about who gets the kills is Velious is pretty dumb IMO.

I'm hoping the devs "accidentally" add a few extra zeros to the raid npcs Hp for the first week or so.. keep things interesting since these things will be hit by 50-70 people at once anyway.

BDA would have been up there this time last year...whatever happened to those awesome people?

+1.

There is no reason why BDA can't compete in Velious or a lot of other more casual guilds. There are tons of ways to gear up in Velious without poop socking.

I pretty much agree with SCB. The real server firsts happened on Live when people were actually figuring out game mechanics on shitty PCs with 800x600 graphics and 56k modems while going through a content treadmill 5x faster than ours.

Here, I predict there will be at least guilds 5 guilds (TMO, FE, IB, BDA, Taken, and possibly Divinity) that will be able to field 80+ man raids for Velious, with tons of epics and sky gear and strats that they've been practicing for years on Kunark.

THIS

I want whatever guild I am in to get the kills, obviously.
