Raid Changes

[arsenalpow]

Nizzar has a pretty good point. If we (BDA) decided to "clear juggs" when Trak started ticking down it would turn into both guilds standing on Traks spawn point battling for FTE. Variance removal might lead to more of that which could possibly generate enough groundswell for the players to work it out themselves (a rotation?) or it would be just as stupid as it always is.

I think the "back to the pile" South Park scene could be used as an apt analogy for our efforts and the eventual outcome.

"Hey let's work towards a better future."

"Nah fuck it, back to the poopsocking/variance/nonclassic raid scene"

Lower variance to a couple hours so it feels like useless to stay logged in and camp the mobs but dont introduce weekly simulated loot pinatas days.

Why would lowering variance be better than taking it away completely? And why not do the weekly/bi weekly resets? Even if you lower the variance it still works out the same and TMO will still be able to obtain 90%+ of the targets. With no variance it would be a complete mess with poopsocking but after a while of the completely random FTE(based on the lucky victim the target chooses upon spawning) guilds will get tired of it and work something out to save everyone the headache. Resets would further guarantee that one guild cannot dominate the entire raid scene. If GMs don't want to deal with the poopsocking they could ad in the FTE shout that everyone keep asking for, sure its not classic but coupled with no variance and resets it'd be alot closer than the crap we have now.

Given how long things have stayed the same, I don't think 18 minutes without a post was putting action in jeopardy.

I have to say I'm pretty unhappy to hear that the mechanics here aren't classic. It kind of defeats the whole purpose of the server.

The population isn't classic. That's the way the cookie crumbles when you have a highly concentrated population of the games more serious players, 10+ years later.

Should remove completely variance, it's not classic. Have a GM manage the situations, and let Rogean enjoy the pleasure to see the tiny world he created in eternal war. Make it as classic as you can, that's the spirit of the server!

It's like the stupid fuckers staying in front of shops waiting for the iPhone 5 to be sold... if they want to loose their time there and to look totally retarded to everyone they can...

I hope I offended someone at least with my iPhone story!

Anyway I'm not guilded or raiding... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
