New Lodizal Agreement Proposal

[branamil]

Guys we didnt even get an earthquake or xp bonus this weekend, they are definitely not going to re-program lodizal's spawn, esp since its not classic

Sorry you didnt get oversized turtle

I’d be for a roll off but I would propose winner gets pick of first item, 2nd place second item, etc ..this may encourage more to help kill. I also like the idea of having people help or forced to help like Scout.

Why not just do /picks and AoCs at this point... Smh...

Great question! I’m sure there are almost as many answers to this question as there are players.

Here is my answer: Because a complaint about instances is they reduce the world by removing community, whereas consensus and cooperation is the opposite of that.

Is it really a consensus though? Do the majority of the players even visit the forums regularly? Or is it 30 or 40 forumquesters who probably don't even play much anymore deciding these things?

It's definitely not people on the forums deciding how these things work. As Loramin mentioned with regards to the Shady Goblin roll, it doesn't matter what people on the forum decide unless you convince people on the ground to go along with the agreement. Just look at the ring 8 poll for a great example of this: an overwhelming majority of forum responders support changing how the roll works but that doesn't mean the roll has changed or will change as a result.

i love this idea and would support its implementation! the current system is heavily biased towards US east coast players and is inherently unfair... sad that p99 staff have allowed this to go on for years already! change is way overdue

We didn't know where or when Lodizal was going to spawn on our server on live in era. I just found him up wandering.

The current implementation is even more unclassic.

Rolling is the worst possible option. Scout is an absolute travesty where 50 people line up their 9th alts for a 2% chance at conveyor belt loot. The encounter is completely trivialized and in almost all instances, the winning roller and his friends/guildmates in attendance would have zero chance of actually killing the Captain but for the fact that 49 other neck beards are honor bound to help since they too rolled. Replicating that process on Lodi is a terrible idea.

Just change the spawn timer. Make him completely random. No window, no variance, no skips. Work out the probabilities so he spawns at roughly the same rate, but with no rules on timing. If folks wanna spend 48 straight hours sitting at Lodi spawn to race for FTE, let them.
