How will raiding work on Green/Teal?

Bromgard · #1 11-10-2019, 04:59 PM

Are there any plans to improve the end-game raiding scene on these expansions? Such as instances raiding or lockouts? Or do people actually like the FTE Special Olympics race because "it's classic"? That is the one thing I never could understand about Blue, nor can I find any real why the player base tolerates it. Doesn't seem like anyone actually enjoys the raid scene.

Sorry if this is a repeat of a discussion that's already been had.

if you have to ask you're not going to get to raid on this server

One guild will rise to the top play 16 hours a day and lock all content down until the whining on the forums gets too loud then a welfare system will be put in place where your 50-80 man guild will rotate with other equal sized guilds for your 1 raid mob a month.

They tolerate it because they have no choice in the matter if they want to play here at all. The players don't make the rules.

There is only 1 solution. But as always it falls to deaf ears.....

PvP enable raid zones. Problem solved. No more lawyer questing.

EQ raiding is shit anyways, all about the journey to near raid then alt game+.

I'm fully aware of that, hence the question. I've reached level 60 on both Blue and Red and quit shortly thereafter due to no ability to participate in end game.

I've rather enjoyed the instance mechanic on the new official DBG TLPs, although it does water down things quite a bit and ultimately shortens the lifespan of the servers. However, I imagine there is a happy medium somewhere.

The special olympics race/ fte msg system that happens on blue is highly un-classic. The majority of servers had a rotation list for raid mobs in the classic through velious era.

Hope they make green/teal closer to classic in this way as well!

Current rules on blue as of now. Open to discussion and changes in the future. I'm just worried if there are enough slots for plane of sky.

Are there any ideas which have been said which you guys are outright NOT open to so we can limit the discussion? I assume you've considered instanced raiding?
