The line for JCP is a terrible concept

[Raavak]

Serious questions from someone who plans to do this camp sometime here:

So if I get in line and I'm 6th, I can set an alarm to come back in 23 hours and 55 minutes or something and get my prod, then afk til then? I used to hear rumors you had to be active in your 4 hours but no one mentions that anymore.

What if the guy in front of me LD's and doesn't come back? Do I move up in spot not knowing this and end up losing out? Or does it just become a thing where the chancellor becomes a free-for-all if I am still afk?

They should just make the fucking thing no drop. Spare me the 'not classic' arguments a lot of shit here isn't classic, people only whine about it whenever it doesn't suit their needs.

Making the JCP no drop would solve a lot of problems with that 24 hour line.

for the first time in history I actually agree with Doors, on all counts [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I haven't done the JCP since it's gone full retard but I'd imagine if someone went LD ahead of you, you get bumped up. Best way to do it is figure out when chanc has spawned last and then check in 15 mins before he's due again and then wait for him to spawn and if the people in front of you are afk, snag it.

Also, waiting for chanc to spawn is a great time to farm Sarnak earrings.

This is correct. The guy in front of you loses his spot and you are bumped up. Last I checked, the "current rules" of the camp were that if he is unengaged for 2 minutes after spawning, the person next in line may engage.

If he is unengaged for 2 minutes, it's a FFA honestly. I was 5th in line and I came back just to see if the guy up killed him and he was still afk, and seemed like everyone else was AFK, so i killed the damn thing and gated. Not my fault!

I'm pretty sure FFA is the GM position on that as well, or at least it was. I got my prod when I was farming earrings. I wasn't even thinking about chancellor, but I saw him up and killed him. Apparently #1 in line had gone LD, and #2 was afk and died to chancellor. The other dozen people were all afk. I petitioned to make sure I was in the right, and GMs said grats on key.

SNAFU at the prod camp: Camp owner hands off camp to the next not-afk person because the next afk person on the list was not there to maintain the rules and camp list. Afk person then goes ballistic because he's been bumped down the list, and calls GMs. GMs tell players to take care of it, after threatening to delete the prod. Original AFK person seems very upset as the rest of the camp unites to get the first aggro and the kill.

It just seems good sense that the camper in question needs to be there for their 4-hour shift in order to maintain the line and the rules so something like this doesn't happen every time?

edit: original AFK player did not show up until 3 hours into the spawn apparently.

Glad I got my prod on day one of Kunark launch.

This is starting to sound like the US Senate.
