Vindicator compromises? - Page 5

Thoughts on this?

What i was thinking its that we set up a calendar with one guild assigned per day. It won't be a whole month, it will be something like 13 days or so.

Guilds will anounce which of their 3 vindis they will be killing and which will go FFA at least a day in advance.

Each guild has 90 minutes to kill their vindi after pop unless it was stated on p99 raid forum as an FFA vindi in which case it is FFA on pop.

In this first 15 days or whatever the numbers of guilds are, everyone is given their own day. If they fail at killing at least one vindi by themself then they are taken off the rotation. (meaning they have to kill at least one vindi)

If a guild has failed previously and wants to reattempt then they must secure an FFA vindi to be added.

(im also going to suggest the idea of adding a day slot at the end of the guild rotation calendar that is entirely FFA, in case a new guild or permanent alliance wants to earn their way on. They could claim only 1 of those vindis on that special FFA day to earn their own vindi day.)

After this first 15 days or so, everyone will know who can handle a vindi solo and we can adjust the list and it will repeat. If Asgard is the first of September then they would also be the 16th of September. Day by day rotation, doesn't consider Repops. Repops are always FFA because they don't affect timers.

It's an incredibly public system and very self policing. Noble is also a public, self policing system, but less so since island 1.5 is very distant compared to the mega hub that is Kael.

But of course I'm just spit balling here.

So far we only have agreed to discuss. We have no details. Much work to be done still.

No longer a static 8 hours since the most recent patch.

Was 20 minutes early this most recent time, so he has some degree of variance now.

It has begun. While I'd like to sit and get good data for a while yet, without regulations the GMs are going to do what they need to to keep sanity and prevent server desynchs in prime times.

There must be something else that can be done before Velious becomes Kunark version 2.0. with variance and spawn window poopsocking.

I'm not sure how hard it would be to code it but isn't it possible to teleport anyone not in the same guild that got FTE out of the zone and lock zone ins for 10 minutes? Use the same mechanics as Naggy/Vox.

That would be more of a classic experience than adding variance. Some people may complain about not being able to leech faction but that's part of what's causing the de-syncing.

Just throwing ideas out there...

Why don't we just come to an agreement on a calendar schedule?

Getting the staff to back track on a decision will probably not be that easy, we have full guild consensus in this thread and they still variances the npc.
