Would a seasoned poopsocker explain this to a non-raider?

Does it just essentially mean 2 more random repops of raid targets per month? Which targets will be repopping?

yes all raid targets repop on a rumble

2 guaranteed repops every month has positives and negatives for A/A. The thing people don’t realize is there is literally nothing the devs can do to stop guilds like A/A (who have 50 people ready to log in within 5 minutes) from dominating the server unless Sirken is willing to put bag limits each week, a 7 day variance that makes tracking exhausting, or a rotation (and even that would end up getting heavily abused).

It doesn’t necessarily guarantee 2 more rounds of mobs each month either – rather it resets the current mobs 2 times each month. The exception would be if a rumble happens right after a raid target dies, then it will be essentially a bonus mob because almost none of the timer was able to run.

Basically this will make tracking less intensive for A/A and they will dominate now more than ever before. Tight raid windows only promote poop socking.

Negatives –

You are tracking Trakanon for 10 hours and a rumble happens – you just wasted 10 hours of tracking because the guild needs to flock to nToV to secure Vulak and Doze.

Rumble happens 2 am – All raid mobs now go into the 16 hour window at a time that will have tons of late night pops which means late night and early morning kills. Not really all that different from now but not ideal.

Positives

Tight windows for all raid mobs. As the weeks go on without a reset mobs start spreading out naturally because some will pop early in window and some will pop late in window. P99 has a 16 hour variance on raid target spawns. Meaning when you kill Vulak at noon on a Sunday he will spawn sometime between 4am and 8pm the following Sunday. This happens a couple of times and all of a sudden mobs are spread throughout the entire week and it makes A/A ‘have’ to track for obscene amounts of time.

TLDR - Only positive about this is that it will gear the sh!t sockers on the server faster so they can retire and new people can take their spot. AKA the cycle of P99
