New sneak mechanics = trainfest?

Sounds more fun than the 200th 5-minute instagib for years running, but to each their own.

No doubt. One takes 5 mins though the other takes 5 hours [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Your feels are irrelevant.
Blue will survive no matter what the devs do , it will die when the power switch is flicked off.
Some consider it a challenge racing for FTEs. Some consider it a waste of time.
Some consider crawling through trash a waste of time. Others consider that a challenge.
What we should be able to agree upon is not everyone on an MMO has the same playstyle and take enjoyment in different aspects or challenges from one another.

A C/R/FFA rotation is probably what the server needs again.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious about my feels and if and when the server goes down it will be due to a power switch being flicked off.

To justify the actions of "racing" and "socking" by pointing out some find it enjoyable is hilarious and nothing to stand on when trying to defend the present meta of raiding on P99 blue.

You know why they enjoy it? It's enjoyable because the ones that have the endless time to sock and batphone then mobilize quickly from one target to another easily killing them are getting all the pixels.

So because these players in particular find it fun, then the playstyle should be defended? Nah bro.

Glad the server admin is letting devs tweak and play with the servers mechanics a bit to see how to improve it now.

Just because a junkie loves his amphetamines doesn't mean it's something to defend, especially when the amphetamine causes the junkie to be disruptive and cause problems with other people around them.

Kudos for the admin and server devs taking a stand and trying to improve upon the raid scene here.

Too bad if the very small percentage of players are salty and buttsore that their meta has been changed and will probably be changed more in the future.

Luckily their feels and yours are just as irrelevant as mine are.

Changes to the server code are not an excuse for breaking the rules.

I haven't seen a single A/A member complain in this thread, or much in any of the other 4+ threads discussing the changes.

Maybe less CSR work when guilds are suspended all the time for training.

its less csr work also if you ban people after 3 strikes, instead of giving them 10 shots, before the next 10, before the next 10

linking forum accounts and ingame accounts for that purpose would also help a great deal with forum moderation

True. But outside ToV was another story lol.

Just gonna have to rotate imo. A/a/rustle/CSG

[Erati]

Just need to adjust the time limit of engagement

6 hours per fte LOL

Given the history of this server id say this is a decent forecast.
Whatever mechanical changes are made to p99 , never be surprised at the lengths (ingenuity?) people will go to for efficient pixel:effort ratio.
I doubt crawls are coming back until mobs are rooted in place and bind points removed.
Without both those things at once there will be new strategies perfected to avoid all day crawls through trash.
If im wrong let me know how much fun youre having by your 10th 5 hour crawl through trash on a timelocked server.

It should also be considered what the alternative is going to be if pulls AREN'T worked out.

You will have multiple guilds requiring to crawl through the same area, at the same time, inside 1 hour, to reach their FTE tagged mobs.

OR, you remove the FTE rule in ToV and you have multiple guilds crawling through the same area, at the same time, pulling on top of each other, trying to leapfrog and then getting trained by the backpull of the other guilds if they get to engage a mob.

It's basically the clusterf*ck in Plane of Fear times 10.
