Variance - Automatic Sim repops? Staff should take player suggestions to up pvp

[lite]

Staff, as you may be aware in all of R99's existence about 99% of the spawns have gone uncontested. Clearly you were wrong about Variance killing pvp and how static spawns would allow smaller guilds to compete, since they knew when to attack. Zergs just sat on spawns..

We could sit here and entertain the idea that Empire is just a very good guild and noone can compete against them, but Rogean himself already said they are awful after he took the time to observe them. So why are shitty players in control? Zerg friendly spawn system... let's change it?


0 contesting has gone down since Velious came out, and in the 2 years of Kunark the only meaningful pvp occurred during sim repops, which you guys forgot all about.

Are there any plans to revive pvp?

Sim repops were supposed to be going 2-3 times a week. Because they depend on Rogean to be triggered, in Kunark we went months without them, and I don't think they are ever being triggered in Velious.

Are you guys simply gonna continue hosting a pvp server with 0 pvp?

hrmm? I didn't leave anything sadly, think I didn't play for maybe a month when kunark was released.

We had full server repops that Azrael wasn't even showing up for at the end of their time

It is over Lite, join a guild as a member and help them rule Kubark

Let me help you here.....

Tons of holo didn't play because their accounts were suspended for 2 weeks for trash in classic, officers perma'd for a time. Most quit, few joined nilly, a few like myself did their own thing, I might actually be more OG azrael then you for the week I could put up with it.:)

I have a feeling you're getting facts from third parties, I don't recall seeing you in classic.

shrug, not worried about people getting banned for exploiting naggy. They shouldn't have been doing that.

Just saying, people would have returned a lot sooner if their only option wasn't join the zerg or try and make another zerg to fight it. You literally can't meaningfully engage a zerg without one of your own, some level of randomness would change that. It's for the sake of pvp, my man.

Think maybe 3 players were actually engaged with Naggy, any holo in the zone was suspended, any officer online was perma'd, that doesn't sit well with ppl. As for the variance, and sim repop arguements... shrug there are dragons up all over the world right now and always are - but nobody has competent pvp/pve leadership to develop a guild that can fight for them, or just do not care at this point.

zergs aren't worth competing against, my man. If there was a point Holocaust members wouldn't have dodged Kunark until Nihilum was out of the picture. Stop being close minded. This game isn't that hard, zerging is just that easy and annoying. In addition to that, the game should cater not only to a hang with 80 people in teamspeak playstyle.

I'm well versed on zergs and anti zergs. I spent my whole live time fighting zergs as the small guild, as I did in classic here, and in Kunark - that shits no problem when your 21 living at home with no responsibilities or job, theirs no way I can do that now. My issue is that when you guys formed up that good guys guild and got obliterated for a few nights, then just completely melted down, what is the excuse for that. Bottom line is Empire is a well oiled machine with superior leadership and a core that is very strong.

Good guys was meant to fail, noone wanted to be in it, as the people in that guild weren't looking to be in some massive zerg type guild. Which goes back to my point that static spawns only accommodate to that play style. As Colgate said ...after 25v25 pvp gets lame as hell, no matter who wins. It's awful. With static spawns that's the only kind of fighting that you'll get, where randomizing creates small skirmishes still.

I am not a zerg leader, that's all politics and willingness to play with people you detest in order to secure pixels. so yeah, Empire does have better leadership in that regard.

Well you've managed to get more words out of me in this thread then prolly all my posts combined since classic so good on ya.

I'm all for skirmish pvp, i'm the first guy to call for something like that, if thats what you think variance will bring then put it in, I don't think the results at the end of the day will change tho.

btw I've never had to play with someone who I detest in this guild, to this point at least. The officers seem to have a way of weeding the real bad apples out.

shrug, won't happen. After the way sim repops was implemented I have 0 faith.

It literally can't get worse than it currently is, and sim repops brought the server's best pvp out, even if it was for a month.

oh well.

Currently, Red is a life-support system for those who are either:

Unplug yourselves and explore new horizons. Get a 6-pack like Skar. Drive a used car like Lite. There are other opportunities abound, you just have to be willing to leave your sub-300 pop pve server.

Good Guys meant to fail? I could have sworn I got tells that indicated you had surely won before the fight

Do you realize tons of mobs dropping top shelf loot are left up consistently and no one even bothers attempting them? If mobs are already left up and no one is bothering to try to snipe them [because it takes 40+ well coordinated people and proper classes], then how are sim repops going to help? The only thing it would accomplish is even more loot for Empire.

Go kill Zlandicar/Sontalak and get Sleeper's keys, they've been left up.

This is very true, zlandi/sont aren't the only ones left up for days on end either. Hell statue is one of the easiest raid mobs if not the easiest and he has been up over a week now.

Literally we were curious if TMO with 30+ people would do statue the other day after vindi, and the response in TS was more of a I hope they do.




Never happened as far as I know, and tmo the only ones actually in the context of "contending" atm.

Variance wouldn't change a thing.

[lite]

Those mobs are only left up cus they know noone is going to go for them, second that changes they will get zerged on spawn....have u played on this box? Its just like trakanon.. noone wanted to kill it, but second guild #2 is going for it... zerg mode on spawn. This is the cycle that needs to be broken.

Variance will not fix this. We aren't talking 32k hp mobs anymore, you need 30+ people and no one wants to put their shit aside to align and contest, even if it is just a alignment for mob/mass pvp then back to their small guilds etc after. Too many axes to grind in the resistance, bad state for the server.

[Videri]

Zergs just sat on spawns...

I think this is a good point. With static spawn times, the largest guild can kill mobs week after week at times they choose and their members can log in en masse at those times, making competition very difficult, as no other guild has nearly as many members.

With variance, even the largest guild wouldn't field their full force 24/7, so there would be many chances for mass PvP with similar numbers. Coordination and mobilization would start to have more value than sheer numbers.

I would like a chance to see what effect this mechanic would have on Red99.

sim repops showed us what happens, it was great. Then they were never triggered again because Rogean refuses to automate that feature.

We leave a ton of mobs up, at all hours, i mean... variance wouldn't affect us in the slightest, we would never sit at a spawn waiting for it because we dont need to guard anything.. we would simply plan raids for after the maximum variance timer and push spawns a day, like we currently do.

I mean, we are in ToV right now, its primetime, and Statue one of the easiest mobs we kill is sitting up.

[DRAGONBAIT]

I didnt read the post but things like this make the staff not listen, rather than asking them to listen at the same time u call them incompetents u could try something else, playerbase being heard is always good ofc

[Mus3t11]

If variance gets added tonight, the zerg will still have had a huge jump on any up and coming resistance. Red99 died a tragic death at the hands of pve faygates. Give it up y'all.

[Bazia]

just say faggot faygate makes u sound like cuck

[Kergan]

As much as I think variance would be a bad idea, the "mobs are left up" argument doesn't really hold water either. The whole idea behind variance is pretty much the opposite - you DONT know what's up.

That being said, comparing variance to simulated repops doesn't make sense either. The reason nobody minded sim pops was because it essentially added extra loot drops and didn't take any away.

At this point I just say add it for a couple weeks so it is proven once and for all it makes no difference so these threads are no longer needed.

every single raid mob in the game is left up at minimum for 24 hours and at maximum for 96 hours every week

variance would not affect our guild whatsoever

it would not affect the current server dynamic where Empire is the only guild attempting to kill velious raid targets (aside from TMO killing Vindi every now and then)

go ahead, add it in

nothing would change

[pgerman]

Sim repops make a zerg work harder in order to control every spawn. Which in turn makes it easier for the rest of the server.


Because if something is not a set time in everquest, you lose 20-30 % of your raid force at a minimum.

If off prime time you lose even more.



Not complicated, obviously the zerg does not want that

People outside the zerg want it


Stop trying to convince everyone of stupid ass ideas of how "mobs are left up"

As it has been stated before, soon as any sign of another raid force being able to kill it shows its face, its added to the zerg cycle. Like skill-less locust they decimate the land with 2 to 3x the numbers you need for any encounter.

[Colgate]

our raid schedule would stay the exact same where we leave every single mob in the game up for 24 hours or more, allowing us to kill anything whenever we want

nothing gets killed on spawn on this server

maybe if you played the game instead of cowering on the forums crying about how you can't win at a video game, you would know what actually goes on

[heartbrand]

You don't need variance to disrupt the top guild. You need 20-30 people willing to sit by raid mobs and play cat and mouse for hours on end until the people who log in for loot get frustrated and stop logging in. This could be done by camping out at WL zone line, at the well for Dain, in Yelinak room, the safe room by Lendinara, etc. Not even PvPing, just threatening to log in on the pull every night thus lengthening raids exponentially.

The Yelinak attacks made the raid extend another couple of hours. If that happened to even a quarter of raid mobs people would start to burn out, particularly if it was done in as annoying a way as possible.

Oh well, guess there's some TMO Vindi attempts to fuck with.

Red99 is a good nostalgia raiding box it's not a box for PVP.

Honestly I'd say the biggest thing to promote PVP would be the classic mechanic boxing. Classic is always right Nirgon am I right or am I right.

No other guilds but Empire raid, the others probably lack numbers and clerics which could be boxed, people could TP and buff/res, PVP wouldn't be such an assrapingly gay time sink.

It would have a ton of other consequences and could hurt the box overall, but variance would change nothing - if I could log on and tp myself around buff myself etc I'd bother, but I log on run for 30 seconds get bored and log, and I don't have the playtime to raid.

Has nothing to do with messing with guilds, it's about the fact that the only type of pvp you can get on this box is the absolute most boring one.

http://puu.sh/loQ7x/bf7772ba09.png

There are 0 races to targets. 0 skirmishes between moving forces in the 20v20 range where the fight gracually increases in numbers. The only thing you'll get is both armies bringing as many people in advance, and the zerg winning.

Yes, you might fuck around with the zerg and make their raids last longer. But as you said, 70% raid attendance now makes you a casual.

Coglate Gongshow and practically everyone else is rockin 100% RA, you really underestimate these people's devotion to raid. Which is odd seeing as you're the one that brought it to our attention.

What don't you get? People can barely kill Vindi, one of the easiest mobs in Velious, nor Statue [a fucking slowable mob that has no AOE's], uncontested. But yet you're discussing people having skirmishes and rushing ToV dragons that take 50+ people and several hours of CoH'ing, pulling, clearing trash, and proper class make up? There have been Velious sim repops, it just means a bat phone goes out that says log on at 7pm EST to clear all mobs as they stay up throughout the entire day. Dain is also one of the easiest mobs and is left up at times for hours or days with no one attempting him. Often, Empire is deep in ToV where there is no chance they will be porting out mid ToV clear to chase people doing Statute/Dain. You have no idea what you're talking about, this isn't Kunark where you log out by Severilous and kill him in 35 seconds with 18 people.

[heartbrand]

there's no need to "move forces" because there is no other guild capable of killing the mobs. I don't think all the other guilds on the server combined could even kill Dozekar if he was pulled for them to the zone line

Sim repops are about making a zerg less appealing, because raid schedules wont be a set time. Right now its so easy to farm, is the main reason people can keep up 1000% raid attendance.

Not surprising that you chose the Military as your career with a display of intelligence like that.

Sim Repops result in MORE LOOT for Empire. They can wait to clear all the mobs in the game until their regularly scheduled raids @ 7 or 8pm because no other guild can kill the mobs even with zero interference. With Variance they can let the mobs sit up. There's zero reason to do any poop socking because it's essentially a private raid server for one guild currently.

Not in the military, never was, but thanks for trying to stalk my RL activities

Weird faced psycho that posts his children s pictures on this forum.


If you think it would yield "more loot for empire", and the opposing team wants it implemented?

Why has every zerg fought it ?

Good for both sides then eh?


You know the zerg doesn't want this, just give it up


Heartbrand, the werid faced psycho that wishes he knew more about my Real life

[quido]

You just joined the zerg after being fully geared by lite , anyone could have done that.

Go ride your high horse somewhere else

I was half-geared by Azrael, not Lite, and this in no way detracts from the validity of my point.

[heartbrand]

ya let me go load up Red Dawn and devote 18 hours a day to maybe killing Statue a few months from now while Friends tries to grief the raid and the 17 different small guilds all fight with each other about the loot and who is on the raid that they don't like

[pgerman]

I was half-geared by Azrael, not Lite, and this in no way detracts from the validity of my point.

You were in azreal while they could get you pixels, you left when that stopped.

You join zergs soon as you see its the best way to get loot. Your a scumlord at heart like most people here.

EZ mode is your style, its ok, don't try and pretend otherwise though.

I have been in every guild just about except for nihlum and empire, that being said. Red Dawn never had a chance at anything. I can't think of one pvp encounter that you lead that resulted in anything?

You talk shit on lite all day long, but at least he has a few victories to his name. You got nothing except failure and more failure, then re joining the zerg every time a new expansion is released to maximize your pixel count.

[heartbrand]

that aint right bro we beat Nihilum for Lord Nagafen and we won Severilous. I have murals of the victories hanging in my office next to my multiple degrees.

[quido]

I was in Azrael for a very long time with almost zero loot. I also came up the hard and long way on blue.

Blinded by emo.

[Kergan]

You could always tune raid targets so only a fraction of the people required and have them spawn 5-7x more often so people will focus on PVP.

Of course that has been tried several times and like 40 people play for a month then bail.

[heartbrand]

Countless MMO's have tried to just throw PvP into what's otherwise a PvE dominated game. Without meaningful PvP rewards, there's little PvP for the sake of PvP.

Kind of an odd stance to take since the shining example of repop greatness Lite always uses is when RD got Sev in three way PVP...

Jeremy's hatred for Nizzar kept him in Azrael. Only reason why.

Good thing I have time to call out all this bullshit


You had more gear than most anyone on red server due to your red/blue xfers of massive amounts of plat early on when it was allowed. Hard time?

Not really, As far as kunark pixels went. Joining us was actually faster than joining nihilum at the time you joined red server, quite late into kunark. You would have been like 100th in line in nihilum esp with your history with nizzarr

As soon as the server dynamic changed, and you saw a chance to get in on a new loot system you jumped ship and found a reason to join the zerg asap.

Just say you chase pixels and are a scumlord with no real friends like every other zergling, and we can move on

[Colgate]

so did lite gear up jeremy, or did he gear himself up through his blue wealth?

which one is it?

[Colgate]

i'll support this variance + sim repop campaign. sign me up.

sim repops mean even more pixels for empire, and variance means it's harder for the little guy to try and usurp us; we will continue to raid exactly as we have been by killing mobs the day after they are due to spawn while they have to sit on spawn points for upwards of 16 hours just so they can attempt mobs that they have zero chance of killing

sounds great

[Redi]

Divide and conquer

Guess they don't teach that in Colombian schools with dirt floors

[heartbrand]

Just to put this in idiot proof context:

You're asking for Variance / Sim Repops to have mobs be up with a chance at spur of the moment PvP, for mobs that are actively already up as you make this thread. In Kunark terms, this would be akin to asking for Variance / Sim Repops so you can have shots @ Venril Sathir, as he stands in Karnor's Castle for 24-48 hours at a time untouched.

[quido]

I could have easily joined Nihilum and done my thing there. Nizzarr and I had an amicable relationship before the Kunark era on red (we actually leveled up together on red launch day). I disavowed and publicly decried Nizzarr because he's a slimeball and I eventually had enough. Up until that point I'm sure I would have been a welcome addition to Nihilum.

Making the argument that someone was in Azrael just to lootwhore is absurd. Not only were my true motivations well-known on the server, but loot in Azrael was never a guarantee. I got a sky bracer after like 5 months in Azrael (we didn't have many monks then). It was almost another year before I got the PD Robe and I only got that because they were still bound to the failed Azrael DKP system - it was abandoned soon after that, when Jibeknn was given a Crown of Rile over Biggy despite Biggy's DKP advantage. The only reason I ever got a shot at that AON many months later is because Deluxee recognized my contribution and relative loot diet and pulled for me to get a Tier 1 loot. That was the last CT Azrael ever killed, and it very easily could have ended a week earlier. I got 3 real loots while in Azrael for approximately 2 years. How many do you think I could have gotten in Nihilum?

Queen if you want to come at me because I quit your crew/guild, at least use some ammunition with some real merit. For example, you could say I neckbearded harder when Azrael was getting more loot, which is true. I doubt you would, though, because you know I was around in one form or another almost every single day in those couple of years. You're just bitter, and that's fine, Queen. I still had a lot of fun while I was in Azrael.

Ya moran.

Yes you got an AON and PD robe faster in azreal than you would have in nihilum given the time period in which you played here.
Your not a retard in game so people put up with you even though your all about the pixels.

I wouldn't expect you to hang out with empire ether if they stopped farming shit you needed. Thats your style.

Your 1000% energy when there is something in it for you, thats for sure. If not, you drop people quickly and move on like any soulless zergling.

Don't try and come up with a million excuses why you joined the zerg, They dont need you. You wanted the ez pixels , and you dont like fighting for them. Until you have a god like gear advantage.

Your a smart guy, dont sing this song like how little poor you had no choice but to join the zerg.

Furthermore I don't care that you left my crew. I dislike anyone who is part of a massive zerg that compiles more than 50% of the level 60 population in one guild.

You havnt accomplished anything, the content you kill is uncontested because you recruited more than half of the server.

You don't work IRL

You have not stopped raiding for like " years " now. Non stop.


Beastagor and slathar actually play the game when they have time around their RL, not the other way around.


I think you got trolled into wasting 3 of the best years of your life. Should have kept it casual and cool, would have been more fun for everyone. For both sides.

Your understanding of everquest is, raid for 8 hours, run around fully buffed in 3 zones with no one to kill for another 3 hours.

Also not sure how you can say anything but Azrael and Nihilum both lost and RD won, considering they got the dragon we were fighting over.

But I think we at least agree that was probably the best example of what this server could have been. But that was in Kunark where a rag tag bunch of under geared lower than max level people can actually kill the dragon.

As fun as EQ PVP can be it gets progressively worse and more unbalanced each xpac.

No problem giving props to RD for getting the dragon. Just keepin it 100 with HB for trying to take a bit too much credit for being at the right place at the right time, and Azrael being some red bastards.

EQ is just the wrong game for the small elitist crew mentality. You should have played EQ2, it's better PVP anyway and an 18-24 man crew isn't locked out of any content based on guild size.

Granted that is largely due to instancing the majority of raid content, but that alone is enough to discourage zerging for the most part. It's one thing if you're the 7th best wizard and getting gear, it's another thing entitely if you're the 7th best wizard and you get benched due to limited raid slots.
