Why are windows 16 hours long?

[Vianna]

It's shorter in some cases that variance was is classic. Stop complaining.

spawnlength variance would more correctly emulate player knowledge at the time

Some windows in classic velious was longer than 16 hours. Some were less. Setting them all to 16 just evens it out.

let's make all windows 2 days +/-4 and can skip up to 4x

So it's been a long time but, I actually do believe the 16 hour variance was a significant decrease brought about when the Class System here was implemented. The previous variance I do believe was 72 hours or 3 days on the 7 day spawns. The initial variance was put in during Classic as people poopsocked Nagafen and Vox spawn points so the hope was maybe with variance, it would move people away from the spawn point and they would have to somewhat assemble when it spawned. With variance being so massive almost all guilds ignored the 7 day raid mobs. I remember being rather pleased upon hearing that dragons would be certain to spawn within a single 24 hour period when the shortening of the variance happened. The variance was shortened only because the players had promised they wouldn't poopsock the raid targets [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
