Is saying you've killed nagafen under those circumstance really something you'd want to celebrate?

Everytime I kill a raid mob in Everquest I celebrate by running around my house fist pumping for 20 minutes.

da can't raid for a week, and if you miss even one cycle of gods/dragons then whats the point of playing? Might as well just quit...

It's funny that Divinity is here bashing DA when as a whole, DA members respect Divinity and just worked a rotation out with them on a particular mob.

This is true, I have no ill feelings towards DA as a whole. I was just being a smartass towards this one guy who claims he has to be super hardcore or the game isn't fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

yes both guilds were waiting on noble to spawn, we each had the 1 week timer and instead of fighting over it every week we decided to rotate it on a weekly basis, we had got i the week before so da got the noble of the night after we made a deal to rotate.

imo this is far better than having both guilds convene an hour before hes due, sky mobs are not on a variance, and sit half their raid on the spawn point then argue for an hour over who agrod first and who tried to ks whom.

It was a good example of how things can be handled in a civil manner with respectful guilds.

I agree and personally would like to see more of it, when multiple guilds are waiting for a spawn to strike a quick deal you get this one we get next one.

It doesn't need to be a set in stone rotation of week 1 guild a gets it week 2 guild b gets it, but giving up a mob one week to have one less guild to compete with, not a guaranteed kill by any means just that the guild you made an agreement with will honor.

After guild a gets theres and guild b gets theres then it can go back to full competition, and since most mobs are on a variance on the 3rd cycle respawn Should be varied enough that either guild would have equal chances to spot him up first and race.

not a rotation or raid fix suggestion by any means, just thoughts on how a little civility could ease all this drama and spread the wealth...

This!

Developers, take notice. Classic static situations can and do work.

Variance is not classic and is a cheap cop out.

An invisible guide as a witness for poor behavior at god and dragon raids and consequences for that behavior could go a long ways and still be classic, but the nobel rotation above is a fine example of how things can and should work.

Completely player arranged.

That's what I'm talking about.
