The desires of the sweaty masses
The steganographic artifact from the day the wormhole opened pointed to this day


I'm a little verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.

Don't tease me

[Dlhennes]

That would be fun. However, as much as I want a last fresh start for another 2 year run, I feel like some heads-up to plan and prepare would help everyone.

It would, which might be why they aren't going to give one. It would be a slightly less hellish release.

[sajbert]

Fuck I’d panic about what class to play.

I’d love a Paladin but not sure I can invest the time into XP penalties and dealing with Guise camp and begging for groups and having to raid away to get any decent. Oh and no gate!

Cleric would be cool. But I dunno if I wanna farm VP key, guise (or do you go DE? or maybe gnome or human or …) AND manastone. Firepot bind would be sweet on a cleric by hmm.

Rogue seems chill. Beg for groups but you don’t need much gear and there’ll be plenty of grouping. Just chill and have fun… still a pretty limited class though…

I’d literally break trying to figure it out.

[Fammaden]

Rogue sucks ass pre-Kunark/pre-epic. Do not recommend.

[Bockscar]

Yep. They don't even have evade in classic, and while they don't do very good DPS with the garbage weapons available to them pre-raid, they do generate tons of aggro because backstab just does that regardless of damage dealt. So you don't do good DPS, but you do take aggro constantly, and you have no way of getting rid of it again. It's fucking awful.

[Gustoo]

Yeah but if you main a rogue in vanilla you get to be main rogue when kunark comes out.

I hate to be the realistic guy here but the only server that might get a surprise release would be a red one. I think the staff has had a more positive experience with the blue players so a non PvP server won’t get thrown at you without some announce.

[Bockscar]

It takes months after Kunark launches until epics become available, so there isn't even much appeal in having a 50 rogue at launch. You still have to wait until like the last third of the expansion before the class actually becomes good.

First in line to get the easiest epic? Lol your typical red player. Imbeciles.

Troll SK, you've got this.

[DeliciousHalflings]

Eww. No. You know better than to peddle bullshit. Ogre on everything that can be Ogre for the frontal stun stoppage.

Realistic would be to stop fucking thinking you're getting a second server for less than 100 people at peak hours to waste Rogean's money on to keep going. Maybe you PvPer dipshits really are as stupid as we say you are.

[pink grapefruit]

Omg I hope to Tunare a new pvp server drops tomorrow!

I swear we’ve been good all year <3

[Fammaden]

It takes months after Kunark launches until epics become available, so there isn't even much appeal in having a 50 rogue at launch. You still have to wait until like the last third of the expansion before the class actually becomes good.

If you have the time for multiple 50's pre-Kunark and know you want to have a rogue eventually, then leveling one to 50 and sitting on it isn't the worst plan. That 45+ grind in classic sucked on a rogue though, trying to find any group and deal with six man xp in classic zones.

Leveling 51+ though without the epic is even more dogshit, feels like stabbing through mud underwater in xp groups, and everyone still just likes mage and necro pets in their groups more than you anyway.

No, you've been obnoxious cucks all year, just as the PvP crowd has been every other year. Give it the fuck up and take your smoothbrain bullshit to the Red channels.

Oh, what's that? No one will read your posts there because no one cares fuck all about PvP servers, and the devs will never see your requests there?

THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT. GO THE FUCK AWAY.

[Steven01]

It is time for the Great Reset .. Green 2.0

[Fammaden]

Teal is up!

[Bockscar]

No it ain't.

[Isthmus]

If we all believe it will manifest

Didn't your mother teach you that no one likes a Negative Nancy? :)

I'm positive we must be just a handful of friendly posts away from the dev team greenlighting a new pvp server. They've always had our backs, it's just that things work slowly around here- because they work hard at getting things right before announcing anything. This is a good opportunity to practice our patience!

[Fammaden]

What evidence do you have for the dev team ever having red's back?

[pink grapefruit]

They created and continue to host red server. And they didn’t just copy/paste blue and “flip a switch” turning pvp on; they actually coded a custom ruleset that they put some thought into and coded a custom pvp resist code they thought would make the experience fun. That didn’t pan out they way they intended which is understandable as these things are hard to get right, so they actually went back and adjusted the ruleset and the pvp resist code. They also did things like add serverwide pvp text when people are PKed.

Nilbog shared what he thought would make a good pvp teams ruleset, and we did learn that he was a pvp player from live. The discord pvp server was hyped up a little, though it ultimately never happened for reasons only the devs know. We of course will never forget all the love that GM Sirken showed the pvp playerbase with his GM events and continuous insistence that our playstyle is valid. There’s some controversy over GM Derubael that I never understood, but my opinion is that he did quite a bit for the pvp players as well.

Some pvp players have been straight up awful to the staff here, like cast. But the majority of us have been cool and normal; and looking at the Green UN discord makes the bluebie playstyle seem like a straight nightmare for staff. Again though, even the majority of bluebies are normal (not sure you qualify as cool) so it’s hopefully a worthwhile endeavor to let us nerds have our lovely elf sim.

Staff here have worked hard af for us red losers, and it’s frankly offensive that you would suggest otherwise.

[Fammaden]

Didn't read. Go back to red forum section and leave us alone.

[TercerRigo]

oh shit, it all makes sense now. You like to be an asshole and not have to face consequences for it.

[Fammaden]

Yes, that's the only reason people want a red sever, you nailed it.

Nah, fuck you and your PvP. New garbage server for 52 morons too stupid to accept the game they're playing isn't popular won't happen. Period. Just shut the fuck up and stop talking about it outside of the Red forums.

Join raid guild, get the XP in every raid cuz you're in the DPS party.

[Danni]

You can add to the list that there was a recent round of reimbursements done. Cleaning up all those loose ends to clear the way before a server merge and subsequent release of Purple or whatever you want to call the newest PvE server.
