Sugguested change to raid rule(s)?

[botrainer]

I might be way out of my element but here is an idea (I can hear the rings of its not classic already!!!)

I agree with no camping/binding at raid mobs and this should stay in place, but only changes Id toss out there is this

Spawn windows changed form 3(for some mobs) and 7 1/2 day like times to making them all (all on raid forum page)(remember classic era from release to luclin was 3 years) 2 day min respawn time to 7 and half max.

I dont think there are many people willing to sit ontop of each mob for 5 and half days (max wait time). The number of members of any one guild is no longer a factor, number of trackers.

Thoughts?

Guilds would just start poopsock shifts.


i say we get rid of the rotation, make everything FFA, and keep the lockouts.

You're joking right? The only reason the drastically non-classic rule set is in place is because guilds comprised completely of basement-dwelling neckbeards played twenty hours a day and at on every mob of value every day of the week.

[Heebo]

It used to be like this and we used to track through 90 hour windows. The fuck makes you think people won't do it again?

Don't worry guys when Velious comes out everyone will be showered in old world and kunark raid gear.

We need a "Where's Waldo" version of old Trak sock images

God. And people still argue that this was a better way to play this game.

you do realize that simulated respawns were increased due solely to having the rotation, right?

no rotation = less repops = less loot for EVERYBODY

[Red_Psyphon]

no way blue is this dumb

1. Very large, 4 days to 1 week spawn windows.
2. Everyone in a guild of the appropriate class (R, C, both R and C for FFA) currently in the raid-mob zone and all immediately adjacent zones gets teleported to a random EQ zone when raid mob pops.

It's brilliant!!

[DeruIsLove]

They should just have fixed spawn times for mobs but randomize the zones that they spawn in if you want real races to mobs. That won't work with Trak or CT you say? Too fucking bad.

[DeruIsLove]

Having Cazic summon everything in KC or having big ol Trak shoved in Phinny's room. All of the lulz.

[botrainer]

My other sugguestion is long with server repops, randomly changing repop timers for mobs, players arnt told, and we gotta figure it out, could be 2 days, 4 day 7 days whatever just something within that...changes every few weeks, you miss a spawn oops better luck next time.

[Ciroco]

I think I'm missing the part where any of this improves the raid scene

[Pokesan]

I suggest merging red and blue to forever decide which has the best raiders

I'm just as retarded as OP you see

[botrainer]

If all else fails make the area near each raid mob PVP abled, and let people duke it out.

well maybe we could get some nobel winning physicists to figure out how to keep the respawns increased without the rotation. i know it sounds impossible to do, but if we have hope there might be a chance.

Depends if you want to play the attrition game. If you think you can last longer, then you burn the other people out.

[Nirgon]

Just farm plat for raid loot. Usually you end up getting the item faster tbh.

I can't tell you how many "I farmed X fungi's for my Donal's BP" stories I've heard. Seriously.

Unless you're a mage that wants their earth staff. Go hang yourself.

That would be awesome lol

i wonder how reds would compete once they were up against more than 7 people.
