Raid mob rotation idea, and Teirs

[Kelven]

There's just too much bickering on these forums, and no ideas/solutions. I quickly wrote this one up in notepad.

Kelven's Non-poopsocking rotation suggestion.

Certain guilds wanted to get away from the carebear rotation because they felt they were more "hardcore" and deserved loot more then casual players who are
unable to play as much as them. While this holds some merit, it has driven the raiding scene into one big boring campfest lasting on average 3-4 days
straight.

I am under the impression that 95% of the server, or more, does not actually like to poopsock-camp mobs all week, and would like the chance to do other
activities, whether that be on or offline.

Yes this is just like the old server boss rotation we had in place when guilds first started raiding, with some minor tweaks.

Rotation:
The first issue is how will everyone determine WHO is allowed into the guild raiding rotation.

Right now the "raiding" guilds that I know of are as follows:

Dark Ascension
Inglorious Basterds
Divinity
Wrathful Inquisition
Transcendence
Remedy/Europa

Alliances will always be counted as 1, regardless of numbers.

Now lets break the boss targets down by how hard they are.
My reasoning behind this is also to allow the more "hardcore" and larger guilds a smaller list on the most sought after raid bosses.

Teir1: Draco, Maestro
Teir2: Vox, Nagafen, Innorruk, Cazic Thule.
We could possibly even break Vox/Nag into a Teir 3 and increase the *player-online requirement*

About how many people should be required to kill each boss. I know you can probably do CT/Inny with 12-15 people depending what classes you have, but lets
keep these numbers realistic - and let them reflect the size of the guild that should be allowed to tackle a certain raid mob.

Required raid force ( Tagged ) for Teir1 bosses: 15
Required raid force ( Tagged ) for Teir2 bosses: 20
Required raid force ( Tagged ) for Teir3 ? bosses: 25 ?

If a guild cannot produce such a raid force, they will be unable to compete for certain Teir bosses. These are just guestimated numbers, but I feel they are pretty accurate on what type of raid force the larger raiding guilds would have.

Suggested spawn timers.
Teir 1, 3 days - that's about what they are already?
Teir 2, 5-6 days - that's about what they are already?

Remove the +/- 48 hours so that guilds can plan to have people online for their kills.

How the rotation works: *Example*, this does not account for every possible occurrence.

week 1

Guild-A : Vox - Maestro
Guild-B : Nagafen - Draco
Guild-C : CT
Guild-D : Inny

Guild-E : Sits out

week 2

Guild-E : Vox
Guild-A : Nagafen
Guild-B : CT - Maestro
Guild-C : Inny - Draco

Guild-D : Sits out

week 3

Guild-D : Vox - Draco
Guild-E : Nagafen
Guild-A : CT
Guild-B : Inny

Guild-C : Maestro

I would like to note that Draco/Maestro will be passed through the list much faster, leading to some guilds having two targets per week, or none.
The amount of guilds allowed to try the Teir1 targets will also be on a larger list.

How long do you have?

Guild-x is allowed 24 hours to kill said mob. This allows people who aren't online 24/7 to get a shot, and not attach socks to their asses.

IF a guild cannot kill the boss target within the 24 hours allotted, they will forfeit their spot, and said boss will transfer to the next guild on
rotation. The failing guild will also forfeit there rotation for THAT SPECIFIC BOSS, on their immediate following rotation, but be allowed to attempt
again after 1 full rotation.

IF this guild cannot defeat the boss on their 2nd attempt/rotation they will forfeit there spot on that boss for the remainder of the month or X amount of rotations. This will be an attempt to keep the list small, so we don't have new guilds popping up like weeds trying to claim bosses.

Determining who gets to be on the list will take some sitting down between guild leaders. Smaller and newly formed guilds will, and should be skipped from the list until they can prove they can handle the targets - although the rules to determine this are a bit vague in my head at the moment.

I'm sure there will be people who trash this idea, because they can be online all day / everyday camping bosses - but that's just not what I envisioned this server would become.

This is my original draft, but if we were going to adopt a raid rotation again between guilds - I think this is a good start.
