Proposed raid system

[spryler]

New raid system -

Aftermath and Awakened get 35-40% (each) of ToV dragons
BDA gets 10-20%
CSG 5-10%
Anon/Div 5-10%

New guilds can break into this if they prove themselves somehow. The percentages are up for debate of course, not the point.

We do a lottery system for first picks or come up with some way to pick dragons BEFORE they spawn. For example the pick order could go Aftermath -> Awakened -> BDA -> Aftermath -> Awakened -> CSG -> Anon/Div -> Aftermath etc... The next week Aftermath/Awakened and CSG/AnonDiv would switch order.

Some guilds prefer the rush of the race - fine by me. Let's say those two guilds are Awakened and Aftermath for the purposes of this discussion. Awakend and Aftermath can choose to race each other for their dragons. Maybe Awakened gets more, maybe Aftermath gets more, that is their choice. They can essentially pool their dragons together and duke it out.

This way each guild can still play how they want. The adrenaline junkie guilds can poopsock and race each other to their hearts content. The casual guilds who prefer the playstyle of clearing to a dragon and killing it can still play their way.

Majority of pixels still go to those that are putting in the most time and resources. Aftermath and Awakened can go back to Mage CoH pulling or do whatever they want. I expect the other guilds will clear to the mob and take their time, which is their preference.

Thoughts?

Do new guilds have to be able to solo kill Gorenaire at 4 AM?

How about BDA /CSG /Scrub guild #10 prove themself b4 you even think this gonna work lol

[spryler]

BDA is more than capable. CSG has killed a NTOV dragon. Divinity has killed LTK, Jorleag, Telk and Gozz before the trainfest began.

Please try to keep the comments constructive, thank you for your response though.

Thoughts? Yes, which guild are you in?

[spryler]

It shouldn't affect your opinion of the proposed system. If you don't like it that is fine, just put the reason down and let's have a constructive discussion. I will respect your opinion and try to keep the discussion on point.

#1 Literally time and time again it has been stated there will be no rotations. GM's don't like that.

#2 You use the phrase of someway and somehow, you don't even know how to make these rules work.

#3 the %'s are arbitrary. I can assume you're in BDA given the inherently biased looking %'s.

#4 what if a guild can't kill a target when it comes up? how long till engage?

[Cecily]

I have some thoughts. Can we have a suggestions forum where we can um... read all these amazing ideas that show up constantly in server chat?

If you want a dragon come and foot race for it now.
