Yea... Camp handoffs are going to be ridiculous in Velious. Fortunately most of them require several people to hold the camp. But a few like the Elder Beads are going to be retarded.

2) The person holding the camp cannot mislead you, or change the list after telling you who is next. Something that on one ever does (and I will never understand why) is to specifically address the camp holder, asking who is next on the list or if you can be next on the list. The camp holder does need to reveal to you who the next intended camp holder is - if he doesn't, you may ask to be placed next on the list and your claim will be valid unless he reveals the next person immediately. This person cannot change after the camp holder has "revealed" the next person to take the camp to you. It is an automatic forfeit if this occurs. If you ask to be the next camp holder and are told yes, the camp holder may not later retract or change this agreement and attempt to hand the camp off to someone else - it's yours once he has gotten his item or moved on from the camp.

So I have to have someone in mind to pass off camp to immediately after I begin camping? I'm not a big fan of lists. I usually ignore people asking about them, because i camp till I'm done and when I'm done I generally ask guild if they would like to take before I give it to a random. Doing it wrong huh?

Lolololol I really hope this is how it turns out. 11 guys sitting on 11 spawn points. The rule lawyering of that would be hilarious.

If someone has been waiting, it'd be the nicer alternative to give them a shot, imo. Especially considering the majority of your guild is working up their 17-20th alt.

Too bad casinos are banned; we could start a pool on how many posts until someone from the red server tells you to just kill the person and take their camp.

Oh be quiet. The only thing I camp, ever, is VP key pieces for, yes, my alts and I don't think I'm ever doing that again. What exactly makes your non-guildie main more important than my alt though?

Something else important to note about handing off camps - in particular, popular ones, but this applies to any camp that becomes contested. If you are solo camping, once you attain the item you were waiting for (an AC ring, for example) you are done camping that mob. The next person on the camp list had better be prepared at this point in order to come eliminate the very next placeholder spawn in order to "stake his claim" on the mob. You cannot work wacky corpse lines on lore items in order to grab multiple items in the same "camp session" if there are others waiting to take the camp. Please be aware that we reserve the right to apply this same ruling to any camp if we deem it necessary, including camps with multiple players.

Does that mean this nonsense: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=167367 is going to be addressed then?

^^This solves the issue most the time. And yes, it's classic. The upshot is, you can't just have an empty placeholder on the list. It has to be a specific char. Win-win solution. Camp holder gets to hold a camp with a plan, wannabe camp holder gets the camp next if there actually is no plan.
