The Common Man's NToV Raid Rules Thread

[jcr4990]

Yea I've personally said forever that I feel all raid targets in the game should ONLY repop on a sim repop that happens randomly once a week or so. Maybe excluding stuff like Vindi since it already spawns 3 times a day. Raiding is the most fun when theres a sim repop imo. Mobilization and strategy become hugely important. No guild can get all the good targets to themselves for obvious reasons and everyone gets pixels. Instead of 3-4 different guilds all competing for the same target all the time.

I can't imagine it would be hard to write a script to trigger earthquakes once a week?

No guild is against more simulated repops, I don't know why Rogean resists it.

There are 4-5x as many high end raid guilds on P99 than there was in any single expansion on a Live server.

At most you had a server with 3 guilds clearing the bleeding edge content.

i'm in favor of anything that promotes more RP in the raid-scene

Looking at the fraps that door does block LOS...the first 2 trash drakes do not aggro and Ikatair only aggros AFTER the door is open. The two trash wyverns then social aggro off of Ikatair. That's how I see it.

Spoken like someone who has never been in ntov before. How about you refrain from making uneducated assumptions until you ha e experienced it first hand kiddo.

Yeah it wouldn't have aggro'ed if he stayed in the cubby.

More cubby talk from the ntov virgins. Sorry but the cubby isn't the entirety of the camp. You are free to move around the stairs no problem unless nub guilds are pulling ntov to wtov without giving any warning or letting people know their trains are pathing back. Just take responsibility for your fuck up and stop blaming everyone else. There were 150 people rezzing on the other side of that door, how do you propose everyone stays in the cubby?

The bda spin machine is good. Even I almost bought into it, and I was in ntov for it all!

Was this because there was gm's doing their jobs? Cuz if so, apples and oranges. There is no gm'ing now. It is ffa. But I appreciate your memories. Maybe someday in the eq old folks home you can share in more detail.

Nah, there didn't need to be GM's involved. That's the whole point. The entitlement levels and scrubs have risen vastly to overwhelm the server to create this current environment. It was all within the hands of the players back then as it is now.

Little late Maner. I've already been corrected about door mechanics. However, the cubby was still safe and Elament still left camp to poke his head where it didn't belong.

[Rararboker]

Hasn't been an issue while it was just us and rampage.

Sounds like a terrible camp spot then if your whole raid force can't fit into the safe spot.

Everyone knows Detoxx is claiming that spot just so he can cry wolf when he gets "trained" by unaggroed mobs so he can lawyerquest a concession.
