Divinity vs the Rotation

[Yellow]

this is fine. the rotation is a bad idea in general and i have every right to say it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The game was not meant to have a rotation in it it was meant to be if you got to the target first its yours... plain and simple.

Also thanks for linking those post... the top one Otto makes one hell of an arguement and speaks the truth ( i dont know about the guild drama i wasnt here when that happened nor do i care)

hey how about we have a competition to see who deserves the mobs

ok we race mobs when they spawn, whoever mobilizes and kills the mob first wins!

oh wait

This rotation bullshit is completly retarded. Whats gonna happen when 5+ guilds are able to raid? You gonna allow a guild 1 shot at Nagefan/Vox every 5 weeks? Seriously?

Why does a guild have to "prove" they can kill a mob before they get on this stupid rotation? How do they ever practice killing a raid target if they cant get any attempts in because this rotation says they cant. Divinity has been trying to get their name on the rotation for awhile now and its pretty damn stupid that they cant attempt a raid target because their guild name isnt on the list.

Do away with it. Let the guilds fight for the mobs and may the best guild win.

I say Divinity go ahead and go kill Nagefan, take the ban if the devs really want to but if they ban you for it they may lose some players because of it.

Stop shitting up this post too, christ =p. This is not the place to discuss the flaws of the rotation.


Do not discuss forcing your way into the rotation at risk of 14-day ban, because that's not how it's going to happen. If you read wenai's post, it says that it will be dealt with if/when another guild is ready to enter the rotation.

Divinity is not at risk of being left out; Ib and trans are supportive and, though I can't surely speak for the GMs, I'm sure, given the history of the server, would love to oblige. The issue comes down to working something out with them (as well as Otto and Allizia), as this is a GM enforced rotation.

If dealings with the GMs are not as cut and dry as I assume, then working with the guildleaders is in order. I have no authority so I won't propose anything, but you guys work that out.

They have tried communicating. Obviously its not working. Some of had they have to proove they are able to kill the mobs. How do they proove it if they cant even get an attempt in? And what if they wipe the first time? Thats it they are out???

Rotations work on mobs or zones that only 2-3 guilds are fighting. Once more guilds join the frey on a week long respawn mob things are going to get ugly. No one wants to wait a month or more to get 1 shot at a mob.

Divinity is going to slay some dragons.

I remember back on Karana server, they did the rotation thing...I remember seven to eight guilds in a rotation for Vox and Naggy....was crazy!

This is why you play WoW and have instances so everyone gets a shot once a week lol...classic EQ is great to play...and very horrible at the same time...wasnt designed well at all :P

and btw GMs or whoever is in charge of the rotation is already IN the rotation...they are going to take their sweet time letting div into the rotation until they get all the items they want lol...shitty but its just the facts lol...its what you get from an emulator...bad support, buggy, shit missing from game and not much fairness at all...but hey they did it and they give it to us for free :P

[Myth]

I don't remember what server it was but...
There was a tier rotation like this on one of the EQ live servers. When a guild was ready to move up to the next tier they had to petition a GM and then the GMs would coordinate a date/time for said guild to have a shot at a non-loot version of the hardest raid boss in that tier.

If the guild kills the boss, they are allowed into that tier. Damn me for forgetting what server this was. I swear this is true, it wasn't a dream or anything, lol.

So... if you want to "test your might", why not have the GM's spawn a non-loot copy of a raid boss in the Arena? If Divinity is able to complete the encounter, they should be allowed into rotation.

I'm sure there is some way to do this. I faintly remember there being a specific number of attempts, and a mandatory waiting period, to retry, if a guild fails.

Is this possible on p99?

What a joke.
