Yes.

But if the sleeper is woken, won't the instances then just have golems?

So the instance is dictated by whatever the global situation is like. So if a guild kills all 4 Warders in the normal global venue, then the instance will reflect that. However, there will be ancients and whatnot once the sleeper is awoken since the server goes past Velious.

sounds almost as complicated as the p99 raid rules

what about if someone uses spirit of scale? or jump+rile spam?

Why do people feel like you need to "earn" your pixels through hard work aka door face tracking, coth ducking, etc. Why is that "better" than playing Phinny or another emu?

Because those people are sick in the head. If you really take a step back and look at it objectively what's required to successfully raid on P99 is absolutely disgusting. Just last night on phinny I was camping a neck item in Velks that I needed for my necro and I was getting frustrated cause there were raid geared lvl 60's camping it every time I showed up. I started talking to this L60 monk and he tells me "Gratz on breaking free of P99. That server is such a shithole. You don't really realize how bad it is until your first Trak raid here. Then you'll remember all those times you sat in Seb on p99 for 15 hours just so you can get 2 trak teeth that you don't even need. Trust me I speak from experience" then proceeded to hand me the neck item I was after and wished me goodluck. But what he said really hit home for me. I'm almost embarrassed at all the dumb shit I did to try to get pixels on this ridiculous server and I didn't do NEARLY as much neckbearding as some of you.

This is a game my friends. It should be fun. Yes there should be some challenge and time investment to get rewards but you shouldn't have to spend 40+ hours a week tracking mobs and pooping in socks to get FTE on a handful of decent targets per week at best. I don't know how I didn't come to this realization sooner but I'm glad I did. It's a joke. A bad joke with no punchline.

The funniest thing is periodically I get tells from people in Awakened asking me to come back. Literally none of them think raiding is actually fun on this server. They either do it for the pixels or because they want to help their friends or because they want to win. Of course, most of these people are not the big trackers.

I don't think the staff realizes that there are probably less than 20 people out of the thousands that play on this server who actually enjoy the raid scene here. I just don't understand why they have chosen to enable those 20 people for the past 6 years.

It's too bad that the community can't simply shun those 20.

I'll stick to my no boxing, no instancing, no RMT pixels, no subscription EQ thanks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
