Rooted Dragons and FTE foot races. Failed experiments

Rooted dragons are fun when there's a quake and you can decide to clear from eashen, trips, sisters or go west. Not as much when they are spread out over 3 days.

Great point. ToV and Rooted dragons is really designed for going from one dragon to the next in sequential order. Even with a quake, this isn't really happening since raids will hop over certain dragons to get to others first. The only way for NToV to be experienced how it should truly be is to have rotations.

Any 'instance' vendor that sells items to ports to instances would make a great play sink.

The immediate hurdle I see is how to make the right people end up in the right instance. Might require the activation of the raid tool, adventure windows or whatever.

But here on P99 the non-classic competition meta-game is more important than classically playing the actual (ie. dragon fighting) game of EverQuest. Just ask anyone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hyjal, your troll post was well placed. Squarely in RnF where it was destined to reside.

May it live in infamy as the post from the group that treated the rest of the server like lesser mortals for so long then had the table flipped so hard they cried uncle.

I think the new meta is being inclusive rather then exclusive. That must be one he'll of a culture shock.

This.

Crawls are nice on paper, but in reality it's not really working out as the staff intended. Instead of training dragons now you just train trash. Now instead of needing 30-40 to kill a dragon you need 80+ and the biggest guild tends to have a huge advantage, so we've all but killed all the smaller guilds who had hopes of killing ToV targets. It heavily encourages leap frogging in the patch that released rooted dragons Rogean states that leapfrogging isn't against the rules but it's an asshole move, but guilds have no choice but to leapfrog if there is only one dragon up and 2 guilds are going for that dragon it's just natural that someone is going to have to sit back and pick there moment to jump ahead.

I just hate that we've basically killed all the small guilds at this point, looking at the list of old Kunark guilds, and the early Velious guilds, and then looking at the list of current raiding guilds makes me sad.
