I strongly disagree that spawn times are irrelevant. The scenario as it is now means that if you lose the first battle you're usually out of it for the next several mobs plus it results in what I at least consider a not so fun and unhealthy playstyle of 12 hour EQ binges on a "repop day." I dunno, I just never remember classic EQ having these "repop days" where we killed all the mobs in a 8-10 hour window one day a week every week. I remember having raids throughout the week. I think the point of some change is not to give another side a better chance at winning, but simply to create more large scale pvp battles that aren't all once a day. Now this could certainly change naturally in Velious, but until that comes, what would be the harm in the name of Science in mixing it up a bit for pixels that truth be told are rather meaningless once winter does come?

You can still do work when losing the mob. We kept pushing the VS spawn back even when losing the mob, eventually making it so Azrael couldn't clear all of it in one day. There are raid spawns 3-4 days a week now. The spawns got split up enough between VS, Sev, Hate, Fear, etc that you have plenty of time to LNS and recover to fight over the next target. That's why we had 3-4 fights this weekend.

Coding in poopsocking would damage this server beyond repair.

I built in to my option a way around the "poop sock" issue. I.e., it's not true variance and it comes with global messages for the pops. I just think it would be more fun with more distributed mob spawns [they still spawn in a two day period, the weekend], and more hard repop resets. I think it's also more classic. Agree to disagree I guess.

I think we agree in the end result - mobs are spread out throughout the repop day and the entire week. I just think we can do it organically rather than code it in.

The problem is organically doesn't contain a mechanism for more hard resets. The whole all mobs stuck to the same timer for months on end scenario is horribly unclassic. Yes, I will admit the current day doesn't work for me, but it's the same for others when it's on XXX day that it doesn't work for them. More hard resets [hopefully with some distribution] assures that everyone gets equally fucked and a shot at mobs.

One things the gms should NOT do is listen to any idea from Stasis.

Last two of his ideas almost killed the server. Took a long time and a lot of work to bring it back.

I just bring up ideas and discussions, I don't say it has to be my way.

You sound like your cheese is falling off the cracker more each day, you're gona turn into a real freak after another couple years of this community.

i hope this is a troll.

You wanted low exp to build low level/mid level community which crashed hard, and we called it, no need to be hostile - if you're actually on our side(which it appears you are) then we can be pals.

Unclassic change made server pop from 50 to 217 (Group EXP bonus)

I think you just have personal issues and you're mad, which is why all this hostility comes from Nihi.

This is just your standard counter troll to any change (IT ISNT CLASSIC)

Well neither is Tstaff proc nerf, clickies nerf, grp exp bonus, PNP and they all made the box 100x better.

Classic EQ had several hard repops a month. Supposedly we got sim repops for that, but they have been few and far between and don't reset the mob timers resulting in basically double mob loot windfalls.
