Total Red pop doesnt even equal that pic.

[Rararboker]

That's 300 people?? It is only making red look better then.

[cormag]

Is it really worth it?

[pasi]

And folks somehow prefer this to instancing.

[Raev]

I mean its not miserable. You port up, spend 1 minute hammering your keyboard, and then either kill or port down. What it is is retarded.

[Cecily]

Yeah I FTEed that. Brass Knuckles off Hand.

what the hell happened to the naming policy? "Greater Healing"? "Snackurrection Completefeeling?"

jesus christ

[Cecily]

IB simply has no regard for naming policy. Ban guild please.

Given the annihilation of server community that instancing causes, yes, I do.

Instancing was always the wrong solution to the supposed "problem". Boss mobs should be triggered by a quest and the trigger should be the thing gating the loot. Problem solved, without instancing.

I would say they just need larger worlds with more boss mobs ^^

There is not much difference between spawning boss mobs from a quest and instancing. It just segregates the world rather than creating small private worlds.

This picture is exactly why I decided to go red. I was guilded in <Taken> and our guildmembers were the first people waiting on djorn. Two more guilds showed up to steal our mob. I had auto attack on jamming tab for 30 minutes.

I kept wanting to break out a weighted axe hit one of the sitting casters then Harm touching their asses.

On red porting a guild to sky is dangerous. You port up and lose your buffs making you easy targets. We could have easily slain the other guild as they ported up if we had been on red. Instead the mob went to whomever hit auto target nearest NPC button the fastest.

Come to red, it aint so dead.
Hitting 300+ players nightly.
With no variance, and a massive group XP bonus.

casual scum in sky, what has happened to the raid scene

[Daldaen]

We could just fix Wu's Fists to properly be terrible pre-Velious.

That would helps bit.

But really, I don't know why he isn't considered a raid mob and you're forbidden from tagging when sitting on his spawn point. Yet a shitty mob like Maestro or Draco you can't even be in the same zone when it spawns.

Tl;dr - Close down Blue and Red for a month for forced Beta.

Red players didn't get the warmest welcome on beta, and there's not much in terms of testing pvp mechanics... why shut red down?

Sounds like a good opp for another recruitment drive? 400+? Lets go <3

Red players still have to quest Skyshrine, Kael and Thurg gear....do the Shawl/Rings....kill things in ToV/Sleepers/WW

you know...play EQ?

[Daldaen]

We just need to remove global OOC from Beta and it's perfect.

Put up some pvp flags on the beta server then and let red pals test resists and get some strategies down on there, places to snipe from, etc.

It's more geared for blue players testing pve content at the moment, I'd say.

Probably one of its redeeming features actually, people can chat on a low pop server. Why make it more of a ghost town?

well my point is that Red can be pretty damn blue and its pretty dumb to act like the Red server is not going to be doing the Coldain Ring/Shawl, armor quests, killing in Dragon Nec/WW or in general Velious stuff

its actually lazy of the Red players to cite that the lack of PVP on Beta is the reason they refuse to test....if thats the case much like people want the Blue Velious release to have no raid content why not release Velious on Red without content since you guys claim it was pointless to test without PVP

just have the Velious zones open as huge Quake arena's

[Swish]

Judging by recent beta server pop, everyone's content to wait it out however long it takes anyway.

Not saying that's the right attitude, but don't finger point at red players for crimes committed by both boxes ;)

I wasnt :)

blue players are super lazy, esp those in <Taken>...they just sit around at zone ins all day doing nothing

[Cecily]

There was about 100 people up there, at least. Now imagine that most of those people paid 540p for 1.5 keys. That's up to 54,000 p getting deleted off server on a weekly basis. More for island 2 keys and coffins, which are both expensive too. These raids are actually beneficial for server health, despite being completely horrible and unfun.

Can't wait for North Slo / Icecrash Ocean

I hope you're not serious.

[Swish]

54k, a drop in the ocean on blue... everything might look cheap in EC, but wait til you see that first Lodizal Shell Shield for sale :p

[Portasaurus]

oh my god!! could you imagine if there was a fire in there??

this is surely violating max capacity laws for a room of that size.

Where is Juntsie when you need him?

[Cecily]

I hope you're not serious.

Might be closer to 100k.

[silo32]

i left blue shortly after I sat on a trak spawn poop socking for 6 hrs straight with 200 people in zone, circa 2011

think it was FE, IB, TMO

soon as trak spawned I went ld due to all the casting almost instantly

gm's had to decide who got the first tab/attack

I rolled red, never looked back been for 2 years now

But you LOVE it! Ms. Dojo FTE.

[Daldaen]

Efreetis will be a little different once the 24 hour corpse patch goes in.

I'd imagine most present there had key corpses they looted. If they don't have key corpses then they will have to spent that plat and get corpses up to 4/7, or they'd have to pull down from 4 and 8.


Sky should be interesting once that patch goes in. Mmmm Classic sky <3.

[Joyelle]

Without logic or fairness? Yeah I guess you could put it that way.

[Raev]

Everyone having 10 alts that they can permanently park in Sky isn't exactly classic IMO. And that is what will happen.

[Daldaen]

By everyone you mean a few people.

I have 2 60s and 2 50s. None of whom I want to leave in sky permanently. especially not for nobles. Who has about 1 good drop (Efreeti belt) -- once we get the Wu's Fists of Mastery removed and replaced with the proper weapon that is actually balanced for Kunark.

[Raev]

Expect IB/TMO to get a lot of Nobles <shrug>
