Insanity :10 hours per manastone, there's like 12 people on the list now

Now that's a player theory i've not seen in a damn coons age.

ANNNND I was just kicked off of the list after over 50 hours of being on it, being on almost if not EVERY single PH and eye encounter log.

I was literally typing in /say talking to the other guys here, and in the middle of a sentence got the 'You have been removed from the list for failing AFK checks'. Checks I never even got on my screen.

This is heartbreaking. I can understand failing AFK checks for being AFK, falling asleep etc. But not even getting them and being kicked is fucking brutal. Whole line up of people on the list here agree I was here, active, and talking at the time even.


So it might have some glitches... Maybe it has a hard built time limit?

Was the drop rate changed? In the last week or during the launch of Teal?

My recommendations

1. You must be on the engage log, else you cannot loot and it passes to the next person on the list. Ex. If you are #1 and aren't on the engage log and MS drops, #2 can loot, and #1 retains position to try again next time.

2. 30 Seconds or less response on AFK checks. Like any other camp in the game.

3. If you disconnect, log, or leave the area you get knocked off the list (like any other camp). Maybe this is too harsh, but at least reduce the amount of time from 900 seconds to 300.

The list will turn over more often, but it won't feel as painful losing your place

No changes are needed to the list system itself. The item either needs to be changed to reflect classic drop rates (which likely won't happen because it's somewhat OP in the classic era and the only reason it dropped more frequently at the time was because Verant didn't realize how OP it would be) or people just need to accept the fact that it's going to be a really long slog for this item in particular.

Also, I don't really see the point to your number 1. Most people on the list are participating in downing the spawn, especially if they are at the top of the list. And if they're not, who cares. Others will still help kill the spawn regardless of whether the person at the top is on the engage log because the faster the spawn and PHs are killed, the faster the list moves.

Based on replies in this thread it does not have a built in time limit for how long you can be on the list itself

Remove these fucking "legacy items" and delete existing ones from the server. They were removed because Verant recognized that they never should have existed, we could have started green with them "fixed" by never being in the spawn table in the first place. I dont want to see P99 end up national news when someone goes to the hospital or worse.

Added bonus this would likely ease population and remove some of the most greedy assholes playing.

How do you figure? I don't think anyone's been on any list on the server longer than me in any camp? Pretty sure the guy ahead of me only joined an hour or so before me and he's been gone for 5.5hrs.

Dude I literally got to 42? hours and shut down. I couldnt even type the codes in properly and the adds for youtube videos woke me up twice. Sat on a wooden box instead of a chair so my body was forced to stay upright and not 'rest'. Someone took over for me while i slept 5 hours.

Guy ahead of me passed out for 30mins at #1 and lost his spot before he got a stone. He had been there 45 hours straight.

Guy behind me has been on for 50hours now, is still #3. Hasn't logged off once.

Guy currently ahead of me at #1 currently goes LD occasionally and i suspect has changed humans once or twice.

Guy 2 slots behind me in 4th is at 35hrs or so i think now. 5th is in the 30's too. And a bunch are 20+ through to 8 or 9.

This seems more like an issue with an unlucky string of drops on Green. Teal hasn't had this issue. Things will straighten out over there. The person who proposed making it always drop is still wrong. That's not how camping a coveted item in EQ should work.

Because it wouldn't make sense to code in a hard limit for the list if you are reducing the item drop rate and you already have AFK checks. You'd only need a hard limit if you weren't implementing AFK checks and were therefore worried about people generally going AFK periodically while laying claim to a camp for tens of hours.

It was probably just a bug in the system. Post in the petition forums about it.

Just make the spawn time lower or up the drop rate. Also make the stone no drop.
