Raid changes for when I become new GM

[Bardp1999]

I have conferred with top P99 officials and was asked to make a list of a few proposed changes that would allow for less raid rules and a more classic raid scene. I have not formally been offered the head GM role but it seems just a matter of paper work at this point. These are just a few of the incoming changes I will be implementing. However, I wish to be a gentle ruler... and I would like my subjects to have some input. Here are my proposed raid changes.

Make Shiny Brass Idol (NO DROP)
Disable CoTH in ToV
No CSR support in ToV
Remove Midnight Mallet from the game entirely
Give all raid bosses a "call" ability (similar to CazicThule) that activates when they get X distance from their spawn point to prevent zone line kills.
Bush did 911

I heard Serco™ did 911

[Irulan]

I voted pull *all* the levers.

[deezy]

in addition there should be a roll for tov mobs and all who roll have to stay and help the winner. all trash mobs have sow speed and double the agro radius. vulak can instantly spawn other tov dragons as a pet every minute.

Vulak being able to spawn dragons at will would force guilds to work together to kill him. I like the the idea.

[kempoguy80]

Make all raid mobs spawn hourly.

[Wonkie]

Permanently Ban all Asgard members

[Metham]

We all know bush orchestrated 9/11 for the benefit of dick cheney's company haliburton to secure favorable military contracts.
So i voted for the shiny brass idol nerf. of the items listed in poll that one alone would have the most impact on changing the end game raid scene, if one actually wanted to.
For the record, i don't, but I voted, and bush did 9 11

Permanently Ban all Asgard members


According to Shinko you would need to ban their main chars currently in TMO also.

2019 is gonna be a great year for emulated elf wars

[Mblake1981]

Voted all of the above to remove handicap raiding and would like added measures to restrain lawyerquest.

So, adding Yendors suggestion to solve guild disputes. No time to blame the GM when you are busy cracking a leather whip on your enemies bare ass.

[shuklak]

Add 25% random disconnects on all players engaged on a dragon. That will simulate dialup internet drops.

Then disable item recharging.

[Cecily]

Shut server down for 2 or 3 hours or an undetermined amount of time before simulated patches.

What's the argument between raid zone instancing like on live versus p99 FTE competition?

[derpcake2]

wipe it clean

Fuck you not classic sums it up

[Kalamurv]

Personally I think putting all ToV and VP dragons on a limited leash would solve a lot of issues...allow them to be pulled a certain (small) distance to allow mechanics such as using walls for casters / healers to avoid aoe's etc, but small enough that there is no longer these stupid zone line pulls. Additionally add ability of trash to summon while undamaged if aggro'd for certain amount of time to stop guilds training all the trash out of the way to kill said named. These 2 additions would force guilds to kill the content as intended, require a much larger time commitment on clears.

[dcrag]

Lawyerquest is the most autistic thing i've ever seen - the fact CSR would even respond to a player in that manner is unreal to me - I don't care how big the outcry is - I'd ignore them. Let them solve their own problems.

[tsuchang]

Allow my rogue to sneed/hide into the raid and pick pocket the raiders, and snitch the drops I want.

[Mblake1981]

instancing

*scoffs in your direction* Instancing in an MMO.. you sir!.. *angrily adjusts monocle*

You get it or you don't. Just because you play doesn't mean your are entitled to squat nor should it be handed to you in an easy to use manner for your convenience.

EQ is EQ. I work and can't devote the time this game requires to be the best but I am glad the game exists like it does. You know, instead of retarding itself down to meet the requirements of a low ceiling just so some of us feel mighty. My only real beef with the raid scene is how god awful boring it is and would prefer some action. My gripes on raid guilds are another matter..

Now that we have that out of the way, place Ion Blaze in the rack and let him feel the stretch of suggesting heresy.

[Wonkie]

Faust's arrangement is that if he is pleased enough with anything Mephistopheles gives him that he wants to stay in that moment forever, then he will die in that moment.

[Kalamurv]

Another idea would be allow the stupid (in my personal opinion mind you) training / zone line kills that are done now....but give those dragons a new ability to randomly *super* death touch when pulled beyond certain distance from spawn....this death touch would be special, and *super* in that it would instantly kill said person (regardless of DA)....without leaving a corpse to rez or loot (as in xp and all gear on body gone). Would allow the brave to continue with the easy loot mode pulls to zone in, but with the added fun of a random number of vanished corpses, maybe none, maybe a few or more!

[shuklak]

Could just delete their character and do them a real favor.

[Bardp1999]

If you just made Idols and Mallets No Drop it would solve a lot of the bull shit and would be no more unclassic than spawn variance

[Pringles]

Institute the TAKP flee stun and its effects on Invulnerability. Have fun raiders.

[Pringles]

Oh wait...stay tuned.

Nerfing idols and mallets wouldn't change the way the raid scene works per se.

Tanks would still have root nets, coldain beards, prayers of life, puppet strings and bladestoppers to generate instant agroe...You'll probably end up making the top raid guilds stronger by saving them the cost of mallet recharges.

Earring of the frozen skull, dain scroll, bard DA and the actual DA/DB spells are still things too. Nerfing idols would just force the raid guilds to get a little more creative with the pulls. If one guy can't instant DA after his first DA drops, well maybe an additional puller will have to secondary, or maybe a bard can follow along and cast bard DA while they're running.
