In this point system, what is PD worth? And what happens when 4 guilds all want to spend their points on PD?

think of it like DKP and spending points happens when you kill the target.

4 guilds all want pd, 4 guilds compete, one wins and one loses the points for that week that are associated with PD. the other 3 guilds lose nothing but their time spent trying to kill PD.

I said what someone else said, so I don't need to say it.

Should have left it anyhow.

I have the most unclassic approach to this problem, and although I'm sure it will be met with much hostility, it is something to consider:


Add an NPC in east commons that sells raid lottery tickets. 1000pp each or something. When a raid mob spawns, it will announce the winning number and whoever holds the ticket can raid the mob with their guild or players of their choice. If they do not engage within 1 hour, the next number is chosen.

Not only will it allow a much larger variety of people to engage raid targets, it will slowly remove platinum from the server- combating inflation and excess platinum from exploits.

Possibly have the tickets mob based, to make for easier coding. Also, you could make VP , CT, and other top targets more expensive per ticket. Maybe 10k per VP dragon ticket.

Crazy? Maybe. But just imagine how much platinum this could remove and how much less of a hassle everything would be for the GMs

I always felt like the best plat sink for this server would be bringing in the casino from live with a modified prize list once velious has been out awhile. Imagine how much platinum people would dump on it even for a tiny chance at getting a guise.

Also could have more intermediate prizes like prismatic dyes and 10 charge port pots or something.

Could have shady in EC selling the tokens and put the casino npc(s) right next to him

Splorf, I meant more so the point system nonsense, not the repops or coordination obviously.

If all of the leaders of the major guilds asked for repops and a reduction in variance and promised not to poopsock, I would hope that we would get it.

Frieza on an earlier topic I mentioned a sort of incentive bonus to getting like 4 traks in a row = free Druushk/xygoz/pd kill but must sit next trak out, as just an example where if you are doing really well its like a bonus ontop where you wouldn't need to spend points to get that kill but also free's up a spawn for another guild to get.

Its not a well thought out idea yet I keep bouncing these thoughts around. Could do it with like Taken getting inny really commiting their entire force there, if they do that after 3 or so kills they get a free shot at another same tier target or higher tier target, thus freeing up Inny in this case for another guild to possibly get it for one spawn. (still an idea im working on)

That's not going to work. Why would one of the harder/better mobs be given up for free, when that's precisely what people should be competing on. I'd like to see more simultaneous repops, no training, and maybe some sort of competition only mobs and competition/rotation every other spawn mobs.

Do you think if you drew a treatise. Ratified by guild leaders with the requested changes ...they would not listen if it keeps GMS out of the loot business?
