Rathe Mtns HG stealth nerf?

[douglas1999]

It had been repeatedly pointed out with specific evidence that HG's were never static spawns on live during classic. You had to kill trash mobs, which then had a chance to respawn as a hill giant. The change did go in with kunark. Maybe the chance to spawn % is too low, but I'm glad they finally did away with the 100% chance to spawn static HG's because that was super unclassic.

I can sympathize with you too though, I thought maybe seafuries would be less camped with people in kunark, but now it seems the loose etiquette that existed before of not quadding them is totally gone as people attempt to solo the hell levels post-50. You constantly see dbag druids and wizards taking 10 minutes to round up four seafuries now, it's mega annoying.

The most unclassic thing about p99 is that there was only 6 HG's up at a time every 6min. You do realize on live HG's were all over the place, and not a rare spawn at all. In their current state, you may as well be trying to spawn quillmane.

There are 'logs' from the end of velious showing that up to 11 HGs could be in rathe mtns but the staff don't seem to want to do that. I'm not arguing the change to HGs isn't classic but I am arguing they may have tweaked the number of HGs to avoid petitions and more plat inflation.

Not sure why we can't just get full classic. Why does there always have to be a compromise to classic's integrity to dismantle the no lifers or trouble makers.

Like I said maybe they made them too rare, I haven't been to HG's since the change, but the way they were statically spawning before was definitely not classic. Clearing ph's is like a staple of everquest
