Rogean's Apology

[Kexon]

I don't think removing the variance is really a good idea but really haven't given it much thought , and probably won't , however , Nilbogs suggestion as stated by Rogean , would be a good thing in my opinion . But honestly either way , I'll deal with it and adapt , we will continue to progress ....Really when velious goes live a lot of the raiding scene will open up , it did in live , I imagine it will here too . There's just more options , the faction game , a lot changes in the end game dynamic . I dont see a point in making anyone on the staff prematurely bald over any of this .

Oh and of course, thanks for the great server [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I understand the strain you guys probably feel at times. At work we once had a client complain on our forums that the software didn't work and there were "30 outstanding defects", which were all features they requested to make their job even easier than we already made them. Peeps be fickle.

The real problem is, during the real eq time line, expansions came out frequently enough that the top tier guilds always moved on, leaving the previous expansions mobs for the smaller guilds.

Now everyone is just sort of smushed at the top. I mean, if you are level 60, and aren't in TMO (and to a lesser extent bda, etc) what are you actually doing with your time? Not logging in at all, if my friends list is any indication.

So don't expect much to change here until velious hits, and the smaller guilds can move on to some of the current raid targets, cept for when bigger guilds come back for epic mobs.

Well stated.

This is the only answer.

After the patch yesterday I was thinking about how Rogean mentioned he was sorry for doing a patch during peak hours. All I can think to myself is, how do you owe us an apology? A patch during peak times is the best thing to happen for those of us in non "super" guilds in a long time. We were actually able to engage (and even kill!) a few spawns before every single raid named was completely wiped out. I think even for those small guilds out there who attempted some kills but failed, were probably still satisfied that they were even given the opportunity. This high end tier of raiding is generally experienced only by a small fraction of players on the server (which I think is a bad thing) and so seeing folks who don't fit under this generalization succeed in claiming and defeating these spawns is not only exciting but really makes our time spent on Project 1999 much more enjoyable. So I do not accept your apology and instead thank you for it.

(of course insert long responses about how variance and raid spawn timers etc etc need to be changed etc etc need more patches etc etc resets every week etc etc blah blah)

Thanks!

I wish there was a "like" button. Everyone should be able to enjoy this server, not just those of us in bigger guilds.

Today was another fun-filled day of smaller guilds getting attempts at raid spawns [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
