Raid changes (again)

[falkun]

Server Admins set the flags twice in less than a week for simulated respawns. TMO got most of the mobs still, I think that did not sit well with Server Staff. The other option is they are taking a note from EQMac: simulated patches every other week instead of every week. That would mean we are due for a simulated respawn next week, giving Server Staff the benefit of the doubt.

I would think this option should be vetted thoroughly (read: multiple months) before it is thrown out the window as a bad idea. We have had variance for years, simulated respawns are tried twice in less than a week and the "test" is complete? Sample size is too small.

I like the changes Rogean proposed, but they need time for the server to adjust to them if that's what the back-to-back respawns were testing out. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Ah so you are saying he DID patch it in he just decided to ninja patch it? I don't see that.

As for the last two repops, they happened at 8AM sunday morning and 3PM Tuesday evening. Obviously casual guilds are not going to do well at those times. Plus, its going to take a while. We can see the process with FE: they started out missing everything and now they are basically going toe to toe with TMO. It just takes a while to get in practice and get resist gear and so on.
