Open petition to reduce variance to +/- 4 hours

[zanderklocke]

Here's Noble last year with no variance. I'm not saying variance is good, but this could happen unless multiple mobs are spawning at once.

You don't have to be at IZ in Sky?

Sky mobs aren't considered raid targets for whatever reason.

Really? Weird. If they're not raid targets, they why aren't they considered camps like Stormfeather or Hadden?

Switch the background of this photo to western wastes and you have the current state of Scout Charisa lol.

No variance serverwide would be a nightmare

Again, I'm curious. Why do you think the server would be a nightmare?

What scenario are you imagining?

Ammm....scenarios like the sky pic there and the current start of Scout in WW? All the zoens with ST key mobs would look like the picture above. Do you disagree?

I do disagree. You can only have 2 trackers past IZ, so the mob spawn point would be relatively clear and the raid force would have to raid toward the mob when it spawns.

Also. If there is no variance (and therefore, most targets spawn very close to each other time-wise), guilds will spread out and go after uncontested targets in many cases rather than deal with trying to race for targets.


As for your other post, What's so good about these people being logged in an extra night?

To use your Scout Charisa analogy.

Imagine there is not just 1 Scout Charisa, but there are 8 of them. Each of them requiring a raid force and spread out all over Velious. If all are popping at the same time, would all the guilds go to the same mob? No, they'd spread out. If they're all engaging their targets at about the same time, then they'll all kill their events at about the same time, so next week, they'll all pop again at about the same time.

Now replace Scout Charisa with "velious raid target", and you get what a no-variance situation looks like.


Currently, with variance, on a repop, all the guilds kinda spread out. But next week, Rampage will take 7/8 of the targets because they'll track all 8 of them and just take them out one at a time as they spawn.
