Lower the Variance of mobs, and Make server wide announcements when a Raid Mob Spawns
you want to talk about mental health of p99

[Ralanov]

just make the mobs instanly respawn again and again until ur sick of it.

you want to talk about mental health of p99 i'd rather talk about how stannis was the one true king of westeros.

[loramin]

If Rogean truly cared about people's mental health he'd shut this whole place down tomorrow.

We should all be grateful that he doesn't ;)

honestly everything should have a 1-3 hour spawn would fix alot of problems

its 2019

Right, but it's project 1999.

Really I think the staff should not only automate earthquakes, they should tie them and/or variance to the server's population.

Imagine a script that runs throughout the month that counts the number of active 60s that month (or raid-eligible 45+s, same diff). Now, figure out an approximate number of 60s (or 45+s) on an average live server at the end of the Velious era ... I'm going to guess 700, but I'm sure the devs with all their classic research could come up with a better number.

Now, on live, we got what, an average of two server updates a month? So if our active 60 population is around 700 the server gives us two earthquakes a month, just like live. Our server is perfectly classic.

BUT, if our server has unclassically high number of 60s, it should unclassically adjust itself accordingly. If we have say 1400 active 60s a month, we should get four earthquakes a month. Not classic, but proportionally classic: per player there's still the same number of raid mobs per server.

And then if you wanted to get really fancy you could take fractions (like if we had say 1k active 60s) they could do something to lower/raise the variance rates to similarly spawn a fractional amount more mobs.

It's only a dream, but it seems a hell of a lot more classic and in keeping with what this project is about than instances (which Nilbog also entertained).

Please god

[Heebs13]

CT announces to the entire zone when he spawns, I don't see why other bosses couldn't do the same. Would anything really be lost if you could track raid bosses without having to click your pet track macro every second?

[aaezil]

Get rid of pet track exploit and lower variance

[aaezil]

Real tragedy is guild summit - stuff should be decided by the server as a whole not just the depraved pixel addicts who will only agree to changes that keep their pockets lined and beginner guilds out of endgame.

Pizza delivery guys opinion isnt any more valid than anyone elses is what i’m sayin

[Nexii]

Why wasn't this idea brought up at the guild summit?

Yea I know :/ All the crying was super hot though. Should be a new chapter soon I hope

cuz <Safe Space> does not get a spot, as much as a troll i am, i do have some good idea's for the server been fucking raiding here for 10 years

why do people cry so much about this?

if you don't like it play another game or even another eq server plenty out there.. p99 is far form true classic anyway so stop trying tell me its closet to classic ever... to be honest no emulator server is.

get over the past it's 2019

wahh i can't get gear waaah it a fucking game bros no a job lol

you have that choice stop crying.

And loose all that tracking dkp? Psh

[k9quaint]

Triple the variance.
Make ring 10 no rent for Iksar.

[Heebs13]

And loose all that tracking dkp? Psh

You'd still get the tracking DKP, you just wouldn't have to spam your pet attack macro.

[Shinko]

make it Server wide


or people just use gina in each zone make it fair for everyone

tracking for raid mobs is dumb

[shuklak]

Instanced raids or bust.

To be fair, we literally created the modern raid scene...

I think we've done enough.

[sacman08]

Just have every major raid mob spawn at 6 AM EST. Then everyone that can must forces will get what they want. :)

[Oleris]

I liked the all Dragons pop in TOV at once idea. Sucks when you crawl for 2 hours for 1 dragon and get nothing out of it.

[Kaezyr D`Shiv]

You know whats not classic?

Tracking DKP

[Shinko]

<ZONEWIDE MESSAGE> Gorenaire has Invaded the Lands of Dreadlands

[Shinko]

*serverwide*

[BurtMacklinFBI]

Serverwide message or just make all the damn raid mobs pop at same time each week + throw in quakes.

[Shinko]

it cant be the same time, since timezone, it would not be fair to huge % of the server

[Wonkie]

Killing Sevalak(his loot is bad right?) disqualifies you from killing current Vulak but allows you to choose the time of day for next ToV respawn

Sooo instead of making the game better you just want people to quit playing if they dont like it?

Brilliant idea dude you’re pretty smart!

[Heebs13]

You could have everything pop simultaneously but at a different time each week. So one week everything pops simultaneously at 6pm est, the next week everything pops simultaneously at noon est, and so on.

[Puluin]

Random thought:
Server closes for a day each week with each day moving forward each week. I.e 1st week sunday, 2nd week Monday ect...
( like a server shut down without having a full repop when it opens back up )

Then on each day it opens back up have an earthquake at a random time.

This woud:
1: essentially have 4 earthquakes per month
2: force people to have a life
3: earthquakes would be known and rotated days so eventually every guild no matter their schedule would be able to have a chance at the experience of rushing to whatever target you wish to fight for it.

*mobs with 7 day spawn timers would need to be adjusted to 6 days or 3 with a 24hr varience.... or whatever else suitable.

Classic was basically server resets every Tuesday or so. With a full repop after each 8 hour patch. We could just tweak this so that the server reset repop isn't at the same time every week (which traditionally was something like 4ish GMT and would favour 24/7 and euro guilds) but as the previous poster said, changed by 6 hours every week. This would even things slightly, give people the raid content they desire and be closer to classic than it is now.

[loramin]

It doesn't matter how you announce spawns or when things repop: fundamentally P99 has way more raiders than raid targets (vs. live) and until that changes (or something like instances or rotations are added) the P99 raid scene will always be "broken".

Everything else is just lipstick on a pig.

But if trump is any kind of indicator, lipstick pig = "the best type of pig" :D

sounds like your asking for free mobs shinko.... you of all people that's very disappointing

Anyone from the "I show up and get loot" zerg guild has no place calling anyone else out on "free mobs" :P

He's Aftermath, not Riot.

[booter]

He's Aftermath, not Riot.

So historically accurate then

[YendorLootmonkey]

I say, just let Shinko decide when everything spawns, and allow him to accept sexual favors.

But only from hetero dudes.

We'll see just how bad people want loot.

[Shinko]

How the fuck would it be free mobs with shorter spawn times and sever wide
Announcing?
If anything there be more racing

[Xaeophi]

every raid mob should have an npc at its spawn point named (NPC NAME)'s Spawner
Hail, Vulak's Spawner
Hi, Xaeophi. Would you like me to spawn [Vulak]?
Spawn me Vulak.
Vulak engages Xaeophii!

Ridiculous effort required.

Log in, get greeted with a Dialogue Box.

<<Yes>> || <<No>>

I prefer a system that periodically hands out Best in Slot pieces of loot, each day as soon as you log in you will have a 2% chance of automatically receiving a best in slot piece of gear for one character. Your gear will be hand delivered by a player more skilled than you.

I will call this system Aftermath.

its OK I predict it'll be pretty easy to get full BIS when 70% of blue runs off to WoW Classic and P99 Green. The remaining raiders can form <Left Overs> and farm content on a dead server :cool: :cool: :cool:

[Ravager]

We'll see. The guys getting all the content on this server will still be obsessed with it and you'll be able to play blue and green and wow for that matter, simultaneously. They only have to park and log in for the raids in any case. They'll just get more raids a week.
