Divinity vs the Rotation

[Taluvill]

I really, really hope you guys get your shot soon. No use in waiting on it; Divinity is ready to go and raid. They have the skill, and finally, the numbers to back it up.

Cheers guys [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think the only problem with this whole thing is not that you can't kill any of this content. That much is true. You guys can raid with the big guys. The problem is going to be finding the guild willing to give up their raid mob first. Everyone is afraid of falling behind the curb, and No one wants to lose their mob.

I'm all for it though guys.

He's the level 10ish bard running around, he's kind of a big deal haven't you heard of him?

Well we brought this issue up when you guys were talking about how to settle the first IB and Trans issues. A rotation meant that the upcoming guilds would not only have a hard time breaking in, but they would be punished for attempting. Now a lot of guilds will soon want in on all the raid mobs, not sure how you are going to do this. I will tell you this though, on my server we had a rotation, it was set up pretty early too. So saying ROTATION isn't CLASSIC doesn't really matter, this isn't Classic, although we attempt to make as much classic as we can. This is a new experience although we are trying to solve the same player problems from 10 years ago. The GM's wanted to not be involved, but I just don't think that's possible. Consdering the GM's are also in the raid guilds.

A Rotation can work, everyone just has to be fair and balanced, new content will be out soon.

I did have a good idea though. Have the new guilds that think they are capable to join the rotation, once they take down a raid mob, they are in until they cannot take down raid mobs again (Guild split or leaders leave, whatever reason). Once new content comes out, it should be FFA for the first few weeks, you guys could settle on a time frame, 2 weeks a month, whatever. Then it gets put into the rotation along with the other older mobs. The new content would be the old Verant rules, first to come and engage with a raid force gets the mob. Now this doesn't mean you can kite the mob around (if it is kitable) until your raid gets there, which I have seen done.

Just trying to think of something to keep as many people as we can.

Just leave non-loot versions of naggy ct and vox up in the arena on 28 min respawn.

Yeah that is a good idea! I really like it. What do you guys think about when new raid mobs are released it's free for all with old school verant rules?

Pesonally I don't think killing a boss mob in the Arena is remotely the same thing as an actual raid in the zone it was intended to be in... but whatever works.

[Myth]

I only recommended arena because it can be off limits to other players. I don't see why you should have to do EVERY boss. Just spawn CT in the arena. If you kill him you obviously can do anything in tier 1.

On Stormhammer you didn't do every single boss in your tier. There was 1 specific raid boss that was considered to be the hardest of the tier you wanted to move into. If you can defeat said raid boss you were added to that tiers rotation

Please take fear trash off rotation. This will help a lot of small guilds who are coming up.

This would be a good start at least.
