Raid Scene Proposal

[Ragnaros]

With guilds like Tempest, Thunderdome and Casual Scum starting to field 15+ members regularly for raids and each guild continuing recruitment, it is only a short matter of time until there will be competition over the end game raid mobs. I am proposing the following things to keep the atmosphere away from becoming anything similar to what it was with Nihilum running the show. My aim is to keep the raid scene relatively casual, civil, and fun. I'd like this to be an open brainstorm session, and I'd like people to refrain from shitting this thread up and perpetuating the issues that this server currently has.

- Agreements not to over-recruit. Every single raid mob in the game can be killed with 7 or fewer groups. When your guild begins exceeding say 50 people at each raid, stop recruiting entirely. Numbers will naturally go down over time, and if they don't, I'm willing to bet that there is always a person or two in every guild that deserves to be kicked out. Nothing was worse than before where, at times, the only competition between Azrael and Nihilum was who could recruit more new players and sustain those numbers week after week. In the long run, this should lead to new guilds forming and even more chaos when several guilds are competing for the same mob(s), while lowering the chance that one single guild will monopolize content.

- Spread raid mob timers far apart to more reasonable times. This one is mostly directed at Azrael, considering they have all the important raid mobs on lockdown right now. Regardless of how you guys feel, a majority of the server does not want to wake up before noon on a Sunday. My idea would be to spread Golems, Phara Dar, Vulak, Tormax, and Dain to different days entirely, and try to keep them in a more primetime slot. These are the only mobs that most of the raid scene cares about, and keeping them all on one day only promotes a winner-take-all environment that existed with Empire around. I think we all know that whoever won that Venril Sathir fight on repop day took every single raid mob thereafter 19 out of 20 times. When one side loses, many people often get demoralized and log off for the day, and then they have to wait 6 more days until they get another shot at any of the mobs they care to fight over. I believe that having the important raid mobs several different days of the week will keep more people logging in even if they lost the previous fight. It will create far more opportunities for mass PvP, thus lowering the odds that one guild will keep everything on lockdown.

- Keep it civil both in-game and on the forums. This will not only benefit the raid scene, but server population in general. Controlling your members who want to spam /ooc, shit up the forums, grief people on twinks, etc. will keep more newbies interested in leveling up to join us at the endgame. For instance, after mass pvp over a raid mob happens, the winning guild should kill the NPC, then offer to rez the opposing side's clerics and allow them to clear out. People should be cordial and not constantly give the community insight into whatever personality/social disorder they're currently suffering. Following this philosophy will allow us to police the server ourselves instead of relying on petitionquest every single day. If a guild foregoes this idea and decides that they'd rather act like pieces of shit, then the rest of us can make a concentrated effort to treat them like pieces of shit.

It's time to become men about it pals.

[syztem]

im sorry but like I said in another thread, you will not get 1 guild that can field 40-50 players with the perfect class make up required to kill bosses in velious consistently enough to make them want to stay when they could recruit anywhere from 5-20 more to speed things up or make things easier by not wiping constantly etc. if everyone agreeing to this guild limit cap is fine with not doing certain dragons like klandi zlandi, most of ntov etc.

[Drakaris]

Chances are empire pulled the pin because they were losing numbers and didn't want to keep regearing new players after the core got their gear.

Unless they reset the sleeper I don't see the red server pop bouncing back. Would really love to see 2 or more NToV capable raiding guilds, but I guess we will be lucky to have one.

Anyone here keen for a fresh teams server starting from classic? Time to merge red with blue.

[Jazzy]

Need answers bros

Thought most of azrael were part of tempest?

Also theres no fresh blood on server so the guilds mentioned in OP wont grow unless they all get a share of non-quitting Empire members.

Empire reformed under a new name with 50 plus members within a week. Server stays as it always has been.

Don't worry if there is a change in US government next election ISIS will lose their main source of funding. You know all them "moderate rebels" out there needing millions of dollars.

[syztem]

Drakar a good portion if not over half the loot was going to alts because no one needed any of it except for those super rare drop items. Vulak loot is retarded considering empire saw maybe HALF of his loot table ever and thats being generous. NToV is full of loots, but most suck and are easy alt loot. Also you can't really lump aimchat in general to the 'only got loot' category then quit. Plenty of people passed thru empire got loot and quit, plenty of aimchat members did not get loot they wanted or finish doze items.

I myself made out pretty well I like to think, Any melee who obtained a primal imo made out good. Realistically there was only 1 more item I even cared about getting because I would have 255MR self buffed without adarras on. After that it was end game shit like mrylo dagger, or pauldrons of deep flame that NEVER dropped ever.

I remember Ender saying this, or was it Rally.

Nihilum was the best guild because like in real life war, they are better at politics and maintaining an army.

Sounded just as retarded back then.

got full ride to university of Delaware ( top tier school) opted to join air force instead because I want to take a break from school
hope this helps

[Ragnaros]

sorry you are mad and care so much

[heartbrand]

Granted I'm a bit of a education snob but Delaware isn't even top 50

u gonna chortle at the fact that i went to a higher ranked school than u?

weird thing 2 chortle @

[Ragnaros]

didn't go 2 school not sure what ur referring to, haven't applied 2 a single one etheir

[Ragnaros]

A university randomly offered you a full ride without applying? Even top-tier athletes must apply to universities they're given scholarships at.

Definitely sounds like a true story and in no way a lie made up to impress strangers on the internet.

Not sure if serious, trying too hard, or just retarded. In fact that probably has to be one of the stupidest things ive read on the internet today.
You really think big named professional athletes applied to every single one of the hundreds of schools that hoard them with scholarship offers? Have you ever heard of SAT or ACT scores? A lot of colleges are known to do that to instate people that stand out in the ranks.

rag, i'm being honest here, you fucking skipped a full ride to join the air force as an enlisted man?

good grief dude. please learn from my mistakes and many other enlisted. Go to college, get a fucking degree, and if you still want to serve, be a fucking officer dude.

[Xaanka]

if rag's posts are true he's basically self-cucking himself in real life. hope u don't have a girlfriend or get married, u know them military wives are skeezers all around. just some life advice as someone who's supported our troops' wives on the reg.

need a break from school, i'll go back in a few years.

[Colgate]

u get bullied through high school or somethin?

[Xaanka]

na trolling aside i can actually understand and relate to that. i got a degree right out of HS in something i didn't end up ever wanting to do because of the societal pressure to go to college right out of HS. never once used it for anything, just a huge waste of time and money all around. it's definitely worthwhile to take some time to clear your head and figure out what you want to do for the next 10-15 years before jumping right back into school.

[Ragnaros]

lol real ironic coming from u, I chortled hard. I think Lonny's son gangsta could probably put you in a locker.

pretty much how it is right now, I just wanna chill out, can pretty much go to school whenever I want, whats the rush?

[Colgate]

i wanna take time off school to just chill out

so i'm gonna enlist in the military

lol?

[bubur]

not too bad a plan

better than getting a degree that doesnt do anything for you and join the military afterwards with 40k+ debt

if you do it the opposite way they'll pay some ur education and if youre not a dingus, youll learn some technical skills in the military and be immediately employable in science or engineering in some field

or some shit

thats the stretch i'm not getting because the military's another huge commitment like school is, but hey if he's trying to get into a field that military skills apply to it's not a horrible idea or anything.

but ya if you join the military just to get your school paid for yer dumb, like anyone with a pulse can get a free college degree with federal grants and scholarships especially if you can claim independence from your parents and make yourself look poor on paper. maybe a little harder if you're white+male but still doable.

You might want to enlighten this poor fella on how to obtain a Communications clearance as an enlisted (yeah right, good luck) so when he gets out he can work as a private contractor and make 120k-200k+ a year servicing telephone lines in Qatar, Turkey, and wherever there is US State Dept interests.

Serious about that last part. Get a communications clearance if at all possible Rag, cushy life, world travel, and $$$ to do the same shit a Verizon tech does in the USA.

This is a viable strategy for a Ragnaros. When one goes to school and realizes there is no easy way out... One must consider other options. In the case verse Ragnaros and the miliary... Ragnaros will lead a few good men to death. Imagine Ragnaros leading a group of people into battle... We've seen this on P99. Let's hope this time he can get it right

I know this is hard to believe but they have a main page of youtube.

It has all kinds of featured videos and channels. I must have clicked a trap video while zombied out and ended up getting trannies in my suggested videos, but I don't remember this. My guess is also posting that word on p99 which feeds directly into my google account which is also my youtube account.

Instagram does the same thing. Suggests me targeted advertising based on shit I might have gave 1% fuck about last year.

Barely looked into getting my real estate brokers license and all I see is real estate seminar after real estate seminar on Instagram now.

Thank you for protecting oil at risk of getting beheaded by extremists for 30k a year.

You do your 4 to 8 years, then you get 120k base pay up to 180k to stand around oil at risk of having to preemptively dump a 100 rd drum and wipe out every civilian in sight because you felt your life was threatened, with no rules of engagement since you work for the embassy and have borderline diplomatic immunity thru the State Dept as a contractor.

Recruiting officer did a number on you dude. College is fun and it doesn't matter what you study. If you get a degree you can do whatever but the degree is mandatory. Once you get a job if you want to do something more focused your employer will probably pay for you to get a masters degree. The only people telling you that education doesn't matter are huge losers. Even successful people that made it without a degree will tell you it matters because they know they were lucky. You aren't going to start your own successful business. The closest you will be to self employed is selling fungi tunics or washing windshields at stop lights.

My wife studied broadcast journalism. She worked for an oil and gas company and now works at Bell Helicopter. It doesn't matter that she majored in something she doesn't care about anymore, she has a MBA that Bell paid for now.
