Open petition to reduce variance to +/- 4 hours

[dafier]

Last 2 nights have been rough, but when I get off work today I plan on finally getting some game time in.

About lunch time for me and I'm more than ready to leave for the day.

Overall, rehashing variance isn't a bad thing, unless another solution presents itself.

The server is fine and is healthy as ever. Stop trying to make things worse by fixing something that is not even remotely broken. Go outside for a walk, come back, and play better.

There's a fixed number of targets available to kill in this video game. There definitely is such a thing as "too many guilds" if you want to actually raid stuff. We already have... Like 9 guilds? That are doing/attempting to do raid content. If anything we could use a merge or two not more splinter guilds. I feel like that's 2x as many as my live server had.

would you merge with Taken if they asked?

Tried to suggest this when Hermain Cain was still relevant. Deaf ears forever

That's above my paygrade. I will say if I had to pick a guild to merge with Taken wouldn't be such a bad choice. I've got a couple pals there. Would be higher up the list than Asgard/Forsaken for sure but doesn't matter cause again I don't make these types of decisions. I just think the server would be healthier overall with a couple less guilds in the raid scene. That plus cutting variance to +/- 2 = Raid scene instantly 10x healthier. If that means I have to merge guilds and deal with a couple people I don't care for on raids then so be it.

swish I've tried red cool man, wasn't for me, why dont you try giving the public some feed back instead of bashing blue, and promoting red.

We understand there are many differences between blue and red, but you sit here on blue forums and just bash our server versus yours. Both which are totally different, no ifs and or buts. What do you think would help out blue? Seriously, we all love p99 here, red or blue, but it seems like you just want to bash individual players, instead of even adding any type positive contributions. it just fuck chest, fuck bda, fuck blue, go red.

If you wanted people to give two shits about what you say, well, go ahead man...floors is yours.

I don't have the desire to read this whole thread so forgive me if this has been brought up, but shortened variance ruined the late Kunark raid scene by having the end result of forcing casual guilds to be hardcore for 16 hour stretches. It was worse for you simply because it didn't seem... that bad. It was and it was tolerable because it was the only competitive environmental you guys participated in. Believe me when I say that 72 hour variance was more casual because I actually experienced competing in both styles. 72 meant shift work tracking with one or two people at a time. 16 justified bring 15+ for the whole window.

Basically casual guilds negociated a 16 hour full guild poop sock every week. Kind of a nightmare. 2 hour or 4, you're ensuring an all hands on deck sock fest every spawn. Please don't support that. Personally, I would like a return to extremely long windows and extended variance to discourage the savagery we descended into at the end Kunark.

Also I'm mad about the phrasing of the title. Thought this was about open petitions for a minute. Server could reallly use that. Petty petition quest and socking VP ruined raiding for me.
