View Full Version : Would you be part of an agreement where we don't kill raid bosses outside these times

(Friday 9PM EST to Sunday 6 AM EST) aka equal to (Friday 6PM PST to Sunday 3AM PST)

If you want to grief each other, do it on a Sunday and suffer the Monday consequences so it feels classic. We don't need to do it to one another every other day. We are not in high school/college.


Some rules

Raid Force = 10+ Players ( this can be tweaked based on what makes sense, 10 is a starting point )

Rules

You can not have a raid force logged inside the zone or an adjacent zone 1 hour before an upcoming boss spawn. Your force can be logged out there and start loading in at Friday 6PM PST / 9 PM EST

At 3AM PST/ 6AM EST, if guilds are engaged in PVP or about to engage, they can finish that match. If there is a significant fight and one guild goes down after the boss killing window, they can CR the following day. Don't get in the way of the still-standing guild's ability to most quickly finish the raid boss.

I am making this poll public so we can tell the trolls apart. Vote with your heart

only say sorry when it's warranted, or it loses it's value.

Glad to have a box legend weigh in

Wouldn't this mean the small guild gets no raid loot because they're not allowed to snipe targets when the big guild isn't watching?

Are you apart of an agreement about not going near a school zone? Asking for a friend

That's one way to look at it. But you also have to factor that with these whacky rules and smaller kill windows, mobs are going to start stacking up, there will be multiple bosses up at the same time, on occasion.

A smaller guild would have the opportunity to go for a different target or fuck with the big guild while waiting for another target that's soon to spawn

It's impossible for anyone to know exactly what kind of dynamic this would generate, much like we wouldn't have anticipated Red Dawn taking Severilous while Nihilum and Azrael fought for it. All kinds of cool shit can play out. We already know how it goes without a system. It's just a grief fest.

cmon dude, you could plan some sweet sabotages with a crew if you had a better idea of when shit's gonna be going down - You could be the Red Dawn of Severilous

I would rather not be a Red Dawn, that guild was hot trash.

And

If you are 30 unemployed and live with your mom still, just take what you can get, really.

Nah lets make the 30 year old unemployeds and cuck euros agree to sit around and not raid all day so the cool and normals can bang their wives after a long days work and then raid the content on their schedule.

Even El Presidente doesn’t currently play on Red99. He’s either thinking ahead to a possible future P99 pvp server, or talking about a non-P99 server.

It is kinda of genius because it allows for true competition instead of that 4 am bullshit with the unemployed, AND allows smaller guilds to compete for other targets if they all pop and are only able to be killed at the same time. But then again.....#NOTCLASSIC

If I was a smaller weaker guild rather than the one that is 10 strong, I would think that me and my two friends would want to be as much of a pain as possible just for olde tymes sake. We might even get some kettle corn and a wooden sign made with our name cut into it while we're at it. For old tymes sake. I might have even agreed to something like this just so I could immediately break my promise. For old times sake.

Listening to people like Ordaga in teamspeak discuss their job at subway and how their parents shut off his internet killed my immersion. Voice chat sucks, I don’t want to hear the people I play with, I don’t want to know how many dogs they have or how poor they are, I just want to slay a dragon in the land of Norrath. If I want to listen to depressing people with depressing lives I’ll just speak to more of my clients.

dunno if trolling or not. Then why did you talk so much in voice? I think I was the only one that never said a peep (until near the end) and used it to just listen to orders.

But I agree that EQ does NOT need voice. Its a slow paced game and I remember in Temerity on EQmac we never used it, raid instructions were given in guildchat and it worked out fine.

re: pvp,. voicechat and unclassic mousewheel cheapened EQ pvp. Made it too easy to assist train people down. I remember when voice entered into shadowbane mainstream too, did the SAME thing. Instead of more chaotic and spread out mass pvp, it became a very boring game of /assist target and spam insta kill everyone one by one (and vice versa). It became a game of one tactic and not nearly as fun as the pre voice days.

Getting RID of mousewheel would be a huge help for classic EQ pvp on red.

And i want the mouse wheel removed for a classic server

You could not handle mousewheel removed. Too addicted to brainless assist trains in a panoramic view.

Hopefully they remove it, can't wait for the tears.

LOL
Yeesh. This is why I don’t do discord and left another emulated server because they pushed it so hard. I really can’t stand voice chatting and hearing the constant chatter. I talk to people too much IRL as is lol. And there’s always those few personalities that never shut up, are just as terrible IRL as they are in pixelquest - yet are simultaneously adored and hated. ��. They’ve got screaming babies in the background, while they chat about how exciting it is to be a parent, yet they can’t put the game down for five seconds to actually... parent.

voice chat comes to common sense, whoever runs the server gives the annoying people warnings about shit and mutes them if it's a problem

and for any pve in the game it doesnt neccesitate voice, just follow the raid and go through the encounters like your suppose to

they arent that complex

the only way im getting back into the red raid scene is if we all get on discord and raid together on cam chat and have t shirt off tueday raids at 7:30.
