Introducing Project 1999: Green

[magicfest2]

Yeah, I hope/assume the list-enabled items will only be stuff that's solo-able and eventually nerfed/removed...

I'm currently imagining zoning into Upper Guk and getting on the list for a Ghoulbane while the lord group doesn't actually want/need me in it -- or being in the lord group but being third on the list, after some guy who was in the zone before me but is invisible in the corner chatting with their friends and playing Mario Kart.

Or, even for solo-camps, the person who is first on the list is just *really bad* and can't/doesn't find and kill the mob in a timely fashion. Does the list just stall?

I guess this is why there's GMs/Guides? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
It'd be nice if we were confident that there are good automated solutions to these issues...

Edit: Forgot to say possibly the most important part, which is that *regardless* I am *SUPER STOKED ABOUT GREEN* and it is difficult for me to physically contain my excitement. I have been looking forward to this for a long time! Thanks to everyone involved in getting this going! <3

I'm betting that in this case other people just kill the mob for them, drop a loc or whatever and tell them to come get their stuff as soon as the loot timer ends just so that they'll get out of the way.

How will it work for fungus staff for example? If someone is 24/7 in the zone waiting on top of the list, he is going to expect groups to go at that camp, do all the work and hand over the drop?

How can you possibly get this bad of a read from what Rogean wrote? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Reason why i am asking the question. If i get this right, if the item drops off the named, it can only be looted by the right person on the list. So even if you are not part of the group doing the work, the drop still goes to the person on the list? So for the fungus staff for example, people will camp the ph until they kill the named and be ok having someone who didnt help at all in the pull/kill get the drop? The post doesnt specify that the person on top of the list has to do the kill. I expect that people there will help out kill the ph as fast as possible so the liste can move to the next person.

Merging will be interesting.

If I have a 60 halfling cleric named Foobar on Blue, and create a gnome warrior on Green, named Foobar... how will they be merged (force a name change?), and what if all my char slots on Blue are full? (require empty slots?) Do I have to have as many empty slots on Blue as I have chars on Green or the merge fails? Or do I get to select which chars merge and which will be thrown away?

Questions, I have them. But I trust y'all will come up with a smart way to handle it.

What if someone wants to grief the whole zone, example, dude at top of the loot list won't kill the mob/pH or can't kill it but still is 1st on the list?

#s 2 through 30 kill it instead? Only #1 can loot though.

I want to address a few misconceptions I've seen about the Lists.

The items will still be going to those that put the time in. This is not a "Casual" mechanism. This is a "Fair playing field for those that can put the time in". You will need to be the appropriate level that we pre-determine to add to the list. You need to stay ONLINE and in the zone or near the camp. You need to pass AFK Check Mechanisms. You can only loot it once. Etc. This system is purely to prevent the same people or group of people from holding the camp for days or weeks at a time and stocking up the items for themself and their friends/guildies.

Hopefully the "List" will not be able to be started until the "Named" is killed at least 1 time.

Say if mobA or PH is not killed within %t amount of time... list renews or something like that.
Otherwise you probably would have people just afking there till more people show up.
