Some variance ideas - Page 8

He doesn't want to hold our hand, we need to figure it out for ourselves....

I could solo Naggy as an epic Mage. How? Figure it out.

Not having played live myself doesn't exclude me from this conversation - I know all about what happened among the servers. I just think you people are retarded to not realistically look at what will be happening if you get what you want (straight up eliminating variance). I personally have always been behind adjusting the variance to be less brutal, but given the number and the sorts of people here, I think you would eventually see how fruitless, futile, and stupid it would be with static spawns if they ever did decide to change it. I think it will be different in Velious with tougher mobs - static spawns could be a good thing then - but at this point now with this ridiculously extended timeline, putting 200 people or whatever on a spawn every time would be fucking retarded. In short, barring a GM-imposed rotation, you're never going to get what you want in Kunark, no matter how hard they try to fix it.

Velious is everyone's salvation.

Everything will not be solved by eliminating variance, but smaller guilds would have a better chance to get the mobs they want.

For those of us outside tmo/fe the variance is stupid and makes even attempting targets a shot in the dark. Yeah it would be a shit show with no variance but hell at least guilds would get to try...

Except it wouldn't be as they remember. It would be 100-200 people killing the mob in about 5 seconds. You people are just going to have another basket of complaints if that bridge ever gets crossed.

as opposed to 70-80 killing it in 10-15 seconds now? waaaay better....

Furthermore, the prevalence of the malicious use of duck tape would increase 500-fold should they eliminate variance on kunark mobs.

I'm going to buy stock in duck tape

All spawn socks are stupid, especially without FTE shouts. However, despite the beliefs of you silly perma-complainers, it's not generally the norm here. It does happen though.
