Guilds that never get Vulak or Doze and always say they wish AM was out of the way are actually complaining about this. It's amazing.

Everyone is such a bunch of hypocrites. The people who want competition don't embrace it, and the people who don't want it complain if a rotation is suggested. Shutting down the server is the best option, because this playerbase deserves absolutely nothing and gives no respect to anyone. So much public GM bashing, yet so few bans.



You need to see a psychiatrist.

it's actually a part of the 20 year fabled anniversary the server is doing. there new tov rules only apply to the fabled variants of tov nameds but the code wasn't updated yet. there will basically be regular and fabled variants of each named in tov with a chance at some sweet fabled gear that has even better stats.

Don't even joke - that would be amazing.

If this server forced a flat rotation on everything, a portion of the toxic players would leave (boo hoo) and GMs would have tons of free time to run events, add fabled stuff, and generally make the server feel more like the nostalgic and fun EQ everyone originally came here for.

AM would hate it, but whatever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm interested to see how a rotation would affect the pixel sicks. I'm more interested to see a forced crawl of ToV with limitations on coth mages / coth spots. Zone line pulls are essentially an exploit of the game engine AI mechanics, you really can't argue how this works from a roleplay standpoint. You don't abandon the queen or king to chase some scrub all around the zone.

I'm interested to see how

I'm sure the raiding community is very interested in what a guy who has literally never raided before wants to see in the raid scene.

Nerve struck, noted. I mean, zone line pulling is fun for a little bit, feeling like you figured shit out for convenience. But in the end, it really just enables 24 / 7 batphone mentality. How many of you would log in the middle of the night for a potential 2 hr coth / crawl with added likelihood for corpse recovery / summoning?

If zone line pulling was outlawed you would have some form of guild sharing / rotation. Without it, keeping a clean Vulak window would be difficult.

Uber guilds burnt out in freaking Velious from crawling ToV, hopefully this will prevent folks from a convenient raid schedule that lets them wake up, push auto attack, loot and go to bed.

This would probably prevent more petitions as well since you arent training a ton of mobs over the zone and accidentally transferring agro.

Truth and Classic, let it be so.

I agree 100%. Braknar said his problem with ToV was he hates having to deal with the petitions that happen when people pull dragons on top of each other to zoneline and train each other. His solution of 'full ToV rotation' is the weirdest overreaction I've ever seen to that problem. Just leash the bosses to their spawn or make them summon at 100% health, or make a rule that says absolutely no training in ToV. Problem solved, and the 'LEGENDS' of the server still get to have their video-game olympics.

Just because the game wasn't played a certain way back in 99 doesn't make it any less valid of a way to play now.

The fact that the people crying about p99 being the last holy bastion of raid competition are also the ones who cry at the idea of having to actually put in effort for their pixels tells me the cries for competition are total BS. You're lying to yourselves and to everyone else. If you wanted competition you wouldn't be afraid of crawling to dragons. What you actually want is effortless and exclusive loot.

Its debatable if you could even do these zone line pulls in 2001. Pathing was not as good then, and mechanics that were in place (such as proximity agro) are not in place on P99.

It's more of an issue of you actually couldn't do things like this back in the day, and this server seeks to emulate that period of time.
