Just curious if this will be the case on R99 as well?

Sorry to necro this, but if the variance on red99 is anywhere close to as long as that of blue99 I'm going to strangle Rogean.

if there is any at all, the window should be very small

Need to get mobs respawning at or around 5:30am est to keep them on farm imo.

isn't it +/- 4 hours on raid targets?

What would be wrong with variance? More time to experience pvp as groups/raids struggle for the camp.

yeah we always wished VZ/TZ had this.

I enjoyed the variance. Not too much, -/+ 4 sounds about right.

You may get some fun PvP on a smaller scale with people watching for raid targets.

VZ TZ was annoying in that is was like clockwork.

Yea I am actually pro variance. Should be pvp leading to the spawn time.

if it is small +/- 2 or 4 i guess that's not so bad. i was imagining like a whole day swing

Yes, a one week variance!

7 day spawns have a variance of +/- 48 hours on p99 (meaning their windows last a whopping 4 days long). Most players on p99 seem to think this is too long but it doesn't seem to have been looked into. All I was saying is that the variance for red99 (if there is one) should be nowhere close to 48 hours. +/-4 hours seems fine.

It would seem long on P99 because there is nothing else to do.

+/- 8 hours be enough variance to keep the spawns competitive for the Euros and such? (and vice versa)

48, thats a bit nuts

+/- 48 does seem a bit much for a lower pop server
+/- 24 if server reaches 350+

+/- 12 would be ideal
that would be a full day of pvp in whatever zone and good times imo

I wouldnt like to be done away with a variance all together tho

[@nilbog_work] id prefer zero variance, since people can fight for them

I don't plan on loggen off make it a 72 hr variance imo.

In all seriousness no variance, weekend late afternoon etc would be my vote - same time same day every week big brawl, but don't know if that fucks euros over.

no variance and server down time respawns raid mobs

There shouldn't be any variance because people are just going to pvp for raid targets.

Variance exists on p99 because devs got sick of the rule lawyering. Won't be any of that bullshit on red.

variance is nothing but annoying. this point is fail because the "time" you claim to be gained pvp'ing while waiting, is really just spent before the mob spawns. No variance just reduces the number of headaches for everybody, imo. Since everybody that's competing will know exactly, or within seconds to minutes, when mobs are suppose to spawn.

I like a variance +/- 4 Hours gives the "ready factor" makes for great PVP all day, besides with any decent sized population killing any raid boss will be seriously tough. Cant wait.....
