So this is an AFK 17-72 hour camp now? Who the fuck is going to run that list and fairly regulate it ?

Step away from the bong.

I agree, and I abide by that notion.

If its an 18 hr spawn, u cant be there all the time physically.

When I got stormfeather on live, I was at the camp 68 hours. Stormfeather was a noisy bird when he spawned, so when I had to sleep I turned the volume up. I was 3rd in line. You had to be there. And we formed a line. When someone came in and moved up and sat on the spawn, we used /petition and a GM showed up. Usually it ended in the other ppl coming in leaving. The GMs actually helped. And they had to be called multiple times.

The line was physical, with ppl usually FD on the ground. They weren't at the computer the full time. I was at the computer 12-15 hrs each of those days. But if you wanted an eyepatch, you sat there and waited. And at spawn time, there were 3 or 4 thats showed to try and KS. An SK with a HT or high dps class is a must.

If you want free pixels, then elder beads are over there. They will message you when its ur turn.

sounds way better than just getting the timer, showing up for the window, and trying for FTE, like its been (to my knowledge with very little problems) for the last month and a half

I've probably got the timer of 90% of the SFs that have popped since Velious dropped. Ballpark , without checking logs , he is probably averaging between 1 and 2 skips putting him at a very rough average of 45 hour repop.

So lets say there are enough people who live in Grandmas basement to camp this "live style" because thats how you did it when you were a young lad without much in the way of commitments. So we have what , 5 people in a conveyor belt on that hill for lets say , 250 hours waiting there turn once this list forms up?? Really?

And how do you expect people to get added to the list? Everyone knows how SF respawn works and will be afk for 16-17 hours till the next window - meaning anyone wanting to get added has to wait 16 hours to find out where they are or do we fraps/screen shot to show how many people were on the hill when we turn up?

I dont think you have thought this through. Not to mention why does it have an FTE message...


ps: why were you at your computer for 12-15 hours a day when it was ascertained that SF had a small variance and would skip to the next cycle?

Perhaps what blue needs is a Stormfeather ticket vendor NPC who hands out numbered tickets and calls the relevant player when it spawns? If he doesn't respond in chat with the correct command in 30 seconds its then passed to the next called out player?

Before anyone slates the idea, it's basically what you're doing without the vendor NPC on a lot of things and obviously there was queue jumping and people not wanting to wait.

I'm trying to save you from yourselves, please consider this.

judging by the rest of the missing screenshots i'd say this is fabricated beyond the 3 screenshots

it would own hard if this story was (almost) entirely fictional
