His point, if the video had gone on longer, was that we had 30 in vent, but not 30 in game.

Also, what's wrong with stalling Trakanon exactly? We do this every engage, TMO does this every engage. Cool video but if anyone isn't familiar with Trakanon. This is how the fight is done, 1 minute is a pretty good stall.

Rules come and go every week it seems, but the rules threads do not get updated. You have to show up to every single raid and find out about these new "rules" second hand either from responses in petition threads or direct tells from staff to raid leaders, which then have to get relayed to members.

Miss a raid, miss a rule.

There is still confusion among the populace as to whether or not FTE matters if you have one person in zone, a whole raid in zone, an actual "attempt" at the mob, or just pure FTE = loot rights.

Recall that a few weeks back, FE/IB had a 30 minute fight with Severilious which the GMs said was completely fine as they watched the whole thing live. They had FTE, didn't kite, and kept it in one spot without it bouncing all over the place. Numerous people from opposition forces however claimed it was "stalling".

What is a "stall" depends on whether or not you win in the end. One time it is strategy, the next time it is exploitz.

Hitpoint
12-19-2013, 11:44 AM
Well now there is apparently a limit on amount of DAs because FE/IB killed 5 Trakanons in a row. After the third one TMO got mad so they all got in Skype with their GM pal and convinced him that multiple DAs should be against the rules. TMO has gotten even more than that now. Still, we're aren't calling their stalls illegitimate or "lobbying" for new engagement rules.

We were confused as fuck as to why TMO even wanted the rule, since they stall just as much as we do. Most likely just being irrational and searching for a reason that could have caused them to lose 3 Traks in a row. Still a blatant example of how TMO manipulates the rules when they think it will help them.

Except that doesn't really paint the full picture, does it? You were in a guild that billed itself as the top raiding guild, with all kinds of serverwide firsts, but never could finish an expansion first. Always second fiddle to someone. Then you apparently retired at level 75, which coincides with the era of Assent's downward slide into irrelevance. Now you're back, looking to try and attain that glory that you were denied on live.

that's pretty retarded rule, considering it's not found on any of the rule threads and the previous understanding was stalling was okay if the mob wasn't being kited. Stalling being allowed pushed guilds to rush engage and they would sometimes fail due to not enough logging in quickly enough or they weren't buffed or whatever the fuck. It was pretty damn balanced. The only reason I can see TMO crying about it now is because they are losing consecutive targets, we used to discuss ways to stall longer on rush engages to give us time to get everyone in on Trakanon (when we were going against IB).


Staff need to get their shit together and only allow Sirken to make these new rules and when he does there needs to be an update on the forums. Post it in RnF for a week and update the damn raiding rules thread.

It's retarded that a guild gets suspended over all these hidden rule changes. This is why the raiding scene was such a shitty place years ago when things got heated, rules changed every damn day and the staff just winged it.

Game Wide, I don't recall finishing an expansion as a first. But many Game wide first boss kills.

Now that I think about it...

Assent finished, OOW, DoN, OOW, and PoR all ahead of Triality...

Except the problem is that with the right items, you can stall for several minutes. Certain fights make this harder to do with a single toon, but then you can just use 2-3 to the same effect. Then the game becomes who can learn to stall the best. It's hard to make the raiding game here more retarded, but an indefinite stall rule somehow accomplishes that feat.

I know that when the rule was being discussed, we were given a chance to debate it, and one officer and one member were brought into skype with lots of TMO, who had clearly already been there for a while.

Lastly. Stalling is dumb, I don't like it. But when it's within the rules and one guild is doing it, you have to if you're going to compete.

I didn't really want to bring my guild's accomplishments into this because it would seem like blatant cockwaving, and that isn't relevant to the point I was making.

Also less clear the fog on what Alpha and Beta is.

Type A Behavior: Its Diagnosis and Treatment, Friedman suggests that Type A behavior is expressed in three major symptoms: free-floating hostility, which can be triggered by even minor incidents; time urgency and impatience, which causes irritation and exasperation usually described as being "short-fused"; and a competitive drive, which causes stress and an achievement-driven mentality. The first of these symptoms is believed to be covert and therefore less observable, while the other two are more overt.

The theory describes Type B individuals as a contrast to those with Type A personalities. People with Type B personality by definition generally live at a lower stress level and typically work steadily, enjoying achievement but not becoming stressed when they do not achieve. When faced with competition, they do not mind losing and either enjoy the game or back down. They may be creative and enjoy exploring ideas and concepts. They are often reflective, thinking about the outer and inner worlds.

We never set a 2 DA rule. It was something we talked about, but ultimately decided didn't make sense. There is no 2 DA rule.

Also, when did this mysterious "GM+TMO skype call" happen? Who was the GM involved? We did this to talk about RAID RULES? Are you out of your mind? What makes you think any of us would even want to sit in on a call like that? This whole story is bullshit. Stop spreading lies about the GM's. You want to talk shit about TMO, go for it, keep our names out of it.

You may now resume your regularly scheduled RnF'ing.

You are the GM involved.

I heard you were in the Skype call but maybe it was just a TMO thing.

I named absolutely nobody in my original post. Nor would I.

I'm not out of my mind.

Last we heard about this rule. You said that we should try not use more than 2 DAs for the next Trakanon spawn, and that you'd get back to us after you talked to other GMs about it. I've heard very mixed opinions as to whether the rule is actually official. It's nice to finally have some closure I guess.

Well, maybe that's why your guild is suspended. You dont care to play by the rules. The current rule on trakanon is 2 DA's stall maximum. I can add that for you. 18+18...it's 36 seconds maximum.

Everytime you speak it's wrong. Everything is wrong. There is no stall time limit - it was suggested, never implemented. And, pathing over the water isn't a fucking exploit. The juggs will still get to you and attack you once they hit the end of their path. There is no rule that says you must make sure the mob takes the most direct path to you. Exploiting would be if you could indefinitely hold the aggro and never get hit, summoned, casted upon or otherwise.

What do you call it when your guild pulls Phara Dar through the wall?

Well, actually, lol. I got in trouble for this a long time ago and apparently it is against some retarded rule.

Amelinda stated that they wouldn't hit me, yet I've had them hit me in the air and I've had them kill me in the air. They call this exploiting pathing, yet you can aggro them from the other side sometimes and make them path back and forth on the bridge just by moving a few feet left and right.

That's just another one of those clueless staff rules that was never written and wasn't thought out very well.

There is definitely a rule about exploiting z-axis pathing bugs to prevent mobs from reaching you. Specifically the lake near Trak lair comes in mind.

I try not to argue with fools. From a distance it's hard to tell who is who. It's not Z-axis if they hit you in the air. It would be more X-axis as they pathed on the ground. They hit you just fine in the air.

I can't imagine why anything Amelinda ruled on is still validated. I wouldn't consider this an exploit at all. I've been killed in the past tracking on that far wall by aggroing juggs and they seem to hit you just fine once that hit that far point in their path and then come through the water. They also hit just fine mid Z-axis.

Your point?

You can train away/kite anything without being hit as long as you're moving faster than them.

Kiting them in the air does not make you invulnerable to attacks nor does it make it impossible for them to get to you (if you stop in the air they will hit you).

If you're taking them around in a circle, they aren't being exploited, they are following you like they should.

If you're making them path back and forth on the ledge by moving a few feet then you are exploiting the pathing.

The reason they follow you in the air is so they CAN hit you.

The reason they usually don't catch people while flying is because the person either has sow or are moving diagonally.

You are the moran.

Whether kiting over the water is allowed or not is irrelevant anyway, because we didn't do it. Our plan is always to either train the jugs to the invis wall and die, or to kite them around the lair after hitting them with agro spells. I don't know of any warnings or people being banned for exploiting pathing since I've been in the guild. It's never been a part of our kite plan. I see your fraps at the end of that youtube video it doesn't really show anything. I see a necromancer running to the path and he levs over the water to get there. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you had panned your camera around the wall you'd see us kiting 2-3 jugs in circles around Trakanon.
