Raid Changes

[Pringles]

Doesnt sound classic to me.

Put back in maps, compass, pet UI, luclin models while you're at it.

Extremely good news, that begs one question.

Rogean, why not eliminate variance all together now? It serves no purpose under these rules. With the FTE and simulated respawns, everyone is going to know everything significant. At this point the variance only serves to... I don't know, you tell me? If you wanted to just slow down the introduction of loot into the server, the free simulated patches kind of cancels that out. We would then be as close as modernly possible to a Classic raid scene.

If FTE notifications work as well as considered on paper - you're right. If not, they're back to an unacceptable level of CS intervention. I'm sure they want to test the waters with this first.

Fixed spawns would still encourage poopsocking, which I think everyone agrees sucks.

You know, you're probably right. I just assume that when the rules are very clearly written like this with in-game mechanics to support it, that people will follow them and take some pride in the server again. Maybe just a pipe dream but I think that P99 historians will look back on this moment as a turning point in guild relations and endgame raid scene.

What about players from other time zones?

Sounds like a fuckwad of mobs.

Perhaps the random respawns SHOULD reset the mobs timers, especially if windows are cut in half.
