A Dain Proposal (Coldain Ring 9)

A 3rd guild wanting in should end the rotation, giving said guild an opportunity to prove able to compete in FFA. Then restart the rotation after a sufficient amount of cycles.

Good idea, not sure it has to be a riot/am monopoly, but let’s make it happen.

I think that neither Riot or Aftermath would agree to a rotation involving a third guild since nobody else has competed for Dain for months (non Earthquake Dains that is). Ostepop is on the money for what would need to happen should a third guild want to join in.

I would also be fully in favor of changing the quest mob to complete this quest, but I imagine it would be harder to convince the developers to make that change than it would be to get 2 guilds to agree to not insta kill Dain. It doesn't make any sense and sucks for everyone that ring 9 can only be handed in for an 18 second window once a week. And that 18 second opening can occur anywhere in a 16 hour window. That's crazy.

I think a good compromise would be to race for FTE but not require an immediate pull like was the case a few rule sets ago.

So whoever gets the FTE wins the right to have a period of time (15, 30 mins?) thereby allowing people to turn in while they setup etc.

Engaging a FTE mob and not being ready to kill it is against server rules?

You left out the first half of my post:

Nice idea but takes away the pull rush pull factor. Dain isn't the easiest pull in the world and it's not uncommon for a guild to botch the pull due to time constraints and the general rushed nature of the pull.

This kind of agreement would more or less eliminate that form of competition. Not saying it can't be done but it is an element that would be lost in this agreement.

You cant turn in to dain because pixel addicts cant wait 5 minutes for you to turn in your quest piece like decent human beings.

Instead they need to screenshare to watch for pop (not classic and violation of boxing rule?) or pet track macro (not classic and very exploity) then play mario kart 99 race their little avatars in an unclassic pvp race the millisecond it spawns.

Suggestions on how to make it better are retorted with “not classic” (lol the irony considering what currently happens)

Seriously, not able to pop for a 18 second turn in? Are you even aware of the 10second window to roll on the 8h variance of angry goblin?

Just popped in for pointing out this is an AG plot to deny Riot and AM of Dain pixels.

[Legidias]

FYI, player rotation agreements of just 2 parties only applies to those 2. Any other entity would be able to race for Dain even though Riot / AM would agree to rotate, so it wouldn;t work.
