April Fool's Event - Bristlebane Mayhem Feedback & Funnies

[Valakut]

the saturday quakes in general always turn into aids for casuals that try to play on sunday because once all the raid targets are down the hardcore raiders just power level shared toons for dkp and engage in borderline zone disruption the rest of the weekend.

for that reason i would suggest a bristlebane specific quake where all the timers are reset but not everything respawns at the same time (maybe like a rolling timer where a new raid mob spawns every 30 minutes), and make different mobs spawn in different locations (ie vox could spawn at KT location and KT could spawn at Faydedar), and 3x the hp of any mob with vulak loot and 5x the hp of any mob with pre nerf no drop loot.

if you cant kill the avatar of war with a guise on it then maybe you just don't get avatar loot until the next non bristlebane quake. team up or dont bristlebane shouldn't care.

That idea was toyed with, but it can break mechanics of the fights. Even something simple that I wanted to do - Move Talendor from Skyfire to Lavastorm (Bristlebane screwed up and put him in the wrong place) wasn't possible because it literally breaks the mob.

Ideas for next time: Bring back warder loot mixed into the equation or pop warders all together

Warder loot was off limits for this event. I won't say never, but I'll be surprised if we're ever allowed to put those items out there for an event.

Is it possible to make GM summonable raid mob pet gear? Maybe do a Poison Breath proc dagger, Frost Breath proc dagger, CH dagger, and a dragon roar proc dagger.

Then just give Eejag a Talendor illusion along with the dragon roar dagger and an immolating breath proc dagger. And some type of GM only pet buff that gooses the stats significantly and lasts for like 7 days. Preferably something so difficult that it would require mass server cooperation.

In lieu of dragons being moved to different zones (since they present technical issues), it might be worth spawning named drakes like the ones from the classic Mayong event.

If that isn't feasible, other classic options come to mind such as Faydedar in LOIO.
