New ToV Racing Rules

[Phantasm]

Typical casuals. Always reaching ever farther with their palms outstretched. The reality is some of these nerds like to do what they do.

Short of a mass exodus, radical overhaul of the current raid scene(I.e. lockouts, rotations, etc) or complete reworking of the raid rules(shift of focus from FTE to a number of alternatives) be prepared for a very, very cold Winter on p99

Consider a rotation (until BDA abuses it).

Ok... so you've learned this about Awakened... have you ever been inside Aftermath?

Do the Aftermath people in RNF have an [OFF] button for spinning 24/7? I really don't care about your stupid one-up-manship of each other. Have you seen the text wall of your glorious leader's quotes? He's a nerdraging lunatic. To boot, your DKP site isn't private. It isn't hard to see if Forsaken and co. really followed through with pixel packages and rewarding those who carried that guild/alliance. My only true surprise is how long they allowed Asgard's lack of contributing for so long before forcing the merger. It's pretty showing that the only people in this thread spinning rhetoric are Aftermath.

Keep everything in ToV and Kael as races, reduce variance by half, limit FTErs to 5 per guild and 3 troops a month.

Hey guys, I just fixed this retardery.

3 repops* a month.

This phone is a dickhead.

The only people that thought "Asgard not contributing" was a big problem was the Rampage members that spyed on their forums. I'm reminded of that scene of 12 hour photo when Robin Wiliams character was spying on a family a saying "what is wrong with these people!?" to himself.

Those posts are designed to get people to volunteer tracking. Even then if you read closely, they say things like this "could start becoming a problem." By the time you guys got around to posting it on RnF -- several Asgard members were track regularly.

Think about it, how many best in slot Vulak items for a particular class drop a year? Maybe 2-3 for each class? Even that seems generous. Some people burn out and quit before they get their shit. Unlike Rampage, the guild isn't the reason some people never got their items.

I'm not why people think reduced variance is a solution for anything. The closer to 0 variance we get, the more participants (whether logged in or logged out.) 5 FTEer cap is still a ton of people, 200-300 people logging in on spawn is still enough to desync it.

Your idea is bad because it's just short variance, although the arbitrary numbers really made it unique. Shorter variance encourages more people and guilds to opt in. Ideal raiding conditions happen when more people opt out. Bring back long + extended windows and I promise the raid scene will get more comfortable.

Or do the smart thing and get your guilds, not the staff, to make a rotation.

Neither Awakened or Aftermath will ever be behind a full rotation that includes ToV. Just the way it is. GMs obviously want to encourage "lesser" guilds to participate, and shorter variance and more troops are two essential steps towards that.

I guess from here on, just assume I mean "repops" when you see "troops"
Fucking annoying
