To Sirken/Staff - serious discussion

[heartbrand]

The lack of variance is what will make velious impossible to lock down for nihilum, allowing tons of alternate progression paths for other guilds. Nihilum can't be holding down sleepers key mobs and NToV and at the same time stop another guild from killing tormax and statute and vindi or going for dain or going for tunare or doing a different wing of tov or going for velektor or post revamp going for inny or ct or minis or keeping Phara Dar down. There's just too many fucking mobs too spread out when all up. Add variance to the equation and it becomes easier.

Plus when they're in sleepers they can't be bothered to suddenly port out if another guild is going for dain or tormax or dozekar or west wing or whatever. Even if you were to raid like 12 hours a day in velious you would be hard pressed to kill every single mob. Velious is going to be good for other guilds, variance will kill the ability of the less hardcore guilds to plan ahead of time for raids. Without variance I can tell my guys, "ok raid at 8pm est" with variance who knows and I have to pray enough people log on to the call of a bat phone and beat out the other guild to the mob.

Tl;dr if ur guild sucks ass at mobilizing variance will only make worse your issue

I hate heartbrand, but he is right. Velious' gluttony of raid mobs will allow for the other guilds to catch up.

I think catching up is a bit too far. Red Dawn or someone will be raiding Tormax while Nihilum loots primals. The percentage gap will remain.

What will change is that more guilds will actually be raiding. In a game about pixels it'll keep more people interested.

Tormax is harder than 3 of the 4 warders bro

Can do 2 of the warders with 2 grps

Tormax on the other hand gonna take 40 people.

Raid mob difficulty is irrelevant. Are all the VP dragons harder than any other mob in the game?

Way to spoil our secret and ruin our plans of uncontested pixel farming.

Problems with raids are real life :/
