Guilds still poopsock?

[Barthorn]

Do guilds still poop sock? If so, how bad is it

[bizzum]

Personally haven't seen a full on sock since the window extender change was put in. Only thing close to being socked is VS when there's 5-8 people from guilds there killing or sitting there.

Think there was 25 of each yesterday though but I wasn't there =x

I would love to know the purpose of this change. Nobody I have spoken to cares for it, regardless of guild affiliation.

I like the change because of the possible extreme scenario, but I think it's bitter that that the server is getting less mobs overall. I feel they should balance it with some sort of functionality that provides more early pops at the same time.

I'd like to clarify some misinformation that was provided with the latest patch, starting with the lack of a patch note and then an error in confirmation on my part.

Back when we were discussing changes about extending the window of a mob's spawn when it fell within the last 15%, I wrote some code to show as an example. Turns out that code ended up staying in and I had forgotten about it, and it went live with the latest compile.

So...

Patch Note: Respawn timers that fall within the last 15% of a window will now be extended by a random amount up to 24 additional hours, repeating accumlatively until the window is under 85% for total potential spawn time. This currently applies to all mobs who have any variance at all, but will be adjusted next patch to only include mobs that have a minimum base spawn of 2 days or more.

nope

all named mobs have a rotation which you can request to be in. hell alot of times mobs just stay up because the bigger guilds want smaller guilds to have a chance at some pixels. rarely do gms get involved, i havent seen any raid disputes in about 3 years. as far as i know poopsocking is a thing of the past. welcome to p99.

Lol.

No really though, poopsocking has been mostly eliminated.

thank god. good to know, was the main reason I quit, got 60, then pretty much quit when poop socking started. I wasn't waking up at 4am to kill trakanon. fuck that

Poopsocking Trakanon doesn't really exist, but tracking and waking up at all hours still does...

You misunderstand, people still wake up to kill Trakanon at 4 am, but they don't just sit there in game for 5 hours staring at the spawn point beforehand.
