No offense, but a lot of this thread has turned into red herrings and silly non-classic suggestions that have no chance of being implemented. A lot of you are suggesting things that you'd personally find fun or fair, which is fine, but that's not really the point. You need something that's competitive, actually resembles classic, and isn't a massive deviation from the current system, or else the devs are going to reject it. Obviously I don't speak for them, but I'm pretty confident there's no chance that we're going to have "tokens" any time on this server. I know my post was long but it sucks that no one responded to it, since I feel it was the only one that directly responded to Nilbog's post: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...&postcount=127

If Nilbog says something like "what would happen if we had simultaneous repops", you should probably talk about repops. Not tokens, or rotations, or anything like that.

All of these ideas would take away from velious development, and velious is the single best thing that could happen for the raid environment

An olympic sprinter is slowed down by the 1-ounce necklace that he wears while racing, too. But that isn't what matters. What matters is that is how much it slows him down balanced against how much he wants to wear it.

Velious was designed as a raid expansion, it has double if not more raid "bosses" then are currently available, also 4 armor farming sections. This spread out content esp when coupled with older dontent. Once velius is released it would be a good idea to reasses the raid scence but probably not before

Velious will bring its own set of problems/issues to deal with:

As far as Velious, I'm worried about how the raid scene will work there with our current PNP:
1) HoT (TOV-East) is a section where you DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR, otherwise any force inside will get trained. Since leapfrogging happens here all the time, I can see this being an issue.
2) NToV has many raid mobs, and the ultimate one calls the lesser bosses to his side. If timers/variances/spawns hate you, you could engage Vulak and get a whole 2nd (or more) boss on top of you, which would suck. But maybe that's incentive for greater cooperation within NToV as well.
3) PoG: Tunare, like CT before her, summons the whole zone to her side. I do not know if her spawn respawns her plane the same way CT respawns Fear. If it does not, the guild clearing PoG should have first shot at Tunare, disallowing another guild to leapfrog the guild who spent hours clearing the zone ahead of time.

Which we can't address until velious
