Rogean's Apology

[feanan]

The real problem is, during the real eq time line, expansions came out frequently enough that the top tier guilds always moved on, leaving the previous expansions mobs for the smaller guilds.

Now everyone is just sort of smushed at the top. I mean, if you are level 60, and aren't in TMO (and to a lesser extent bda, etc) what are you actually doing with your time? Not logging in at all, if my friends list is any indication.

So don't expect much to change here until velious hits, and the smaller guilds can move on to some of the current raid targets, cept for when bigger guilds come back for epic mobs.

Your post has reminded me of a suggestion nilbog had forwarded and discussed with me not too long ago, similar to simulated patch day respawns.. Would be nice if we could put a system in place so that those guilds get more chances at mobs that spawn during peak times.

Sounds intriguing.

TMO and BDA are both big enough to cover Kunark and Velious, so I would say it will be same old thing after the new wears off in Velious. I mean you can't have half the guild on the same raid at one time. And there will always be new members join these guilds just to get the Kunark gear, so I see no change.

Well stated.

After the patch yesterday I was thinking about how Rogean mentioned he was sorry for doing a patch during peak hours. All I can think to myself is, how do you owe us an apology? A patch during peak times is the best thing to happen for those of us in non "super" guilds in a long time. We were actually able to engage (and even kill!) a few spawns before every single raid named was completely wiped out. I think even for those small guilds out there who attempted some kills but failed, were probably still satisfied that they were even given the opportunity. This high end tier of raiding is generally experienced only by a small fraction of players on the server (which I think is a bad thing) and so seeing folks who don't fit under this generalization succeed in claiming and defeating these spawns is not only exciting but really makes our time spent on Project 1999 much more enjoyable. So I do not accept your apology and instead thank you for it.

(of course insert long responses about how variance and raid spawn timers etc etc need to be changed etc etc need more patches etc etc resets every week etc etc blah blah)

Thanks!

I wish there was a "like" button. Everyone should be able to enjoy this server, not just those of us in bigger guilds.

Im still waiting for the day that one of these guilds sees a smaller guild staging ahead of them and just says "wait guys, lets give these guys a shot first, just for the hell of it", maybe that day will come, maybe.

FWIW BDA does do this. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is the only answer.

Today was another fun-filled day of smaller guilds getting attempts at raid spawns [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
