Because angel was the worst guy that ever existed and he makes archangel stink just by having the same dude be both?

Flying with wings is barely a superpower, birds do it.

That's why he needed to die and be brought back by Apocalypse as a super badass. Birds can't fly at mach speeds or shoot razor sharp feathers out of their badass metal wings, now can they? Plus, he's blue.

I'm not sure how I feel about this...

Preventing zeroing sure. But limiting to 40 or 20... Meh. I wouldn't mind this being limited for a week, but permanently :/.

On PC during SoD they made some shitty raids. And all high end guilds had 54 man raids. Something like 4-6 cler, 4 shaman, 2-4 Druids as healers (I'll skip other classes for now). Eventually they released 36 man raids. What ended up happening was cutting down certain classes either completely like rogues or paladins (who were somewhat weak during this expansion) or limiting them down to just one (like Druids or enchanters).

Which... Sucks.

What we need is classic LinkDeaths. How many people remembering pulling a dragon back in 2000 when 2-3 of your clerics all LD from their awesome AOL dial up? Dragons should gain an ability that simulates an LD through a stuns or mesmerize. Someone on their hate list for every 5 people on hate list over 20 players. Engage with 60, you will get 8 stunned or mezzed for 2 minutes to simulate an LD. Be careful to engage with your Zerg force, you may get all your clerics Knocked out of the fight. Or your MT. Or half your DPS. Or all your train handling CC.

I like that at least for a once in a while event. Put names in a hat and pull out 20 people from different guilds, give them 5 or so minutes to get ready, and then have them engage.

Come on. It would make for a GREAT "reality show" on Tiggles or Sirken's twitch channel !

Can birds shoot razor blades out of their wings? I don't think so.

How many times has he swapped between the two now?

Wasn't he part of the guardians or some extra lame thing when spider-man was a clone?

Angel was the worst and he brings Archangel down from an A+ to a C- just for being associated with him.

I love how these threads always devolve into random tangents (X-men discussions - WTF?) and trolling.

Makes them worth reading.

You're so angry...

Need a hug?

Most importantly, could I hire a pole dancer to compete for raid targets?

I'm all in favor of Nilbog's rule set. I don't give a rat's ass about classic because classic was a failure then and it obviously is a failure now. Furthermore, it is a free server and the folks running it can do what they want to do. This game was always about the people playing it in my opinion. When a group of people decide to block access to some of the content for their own benefit at the expense of the other players, there is a problem.

The problem is being addressed. If people don't like it they can leave. Unlike EQ where people pay money to play the game, this server is free. So it isn't like the staff is going to be concerned if 200 whiners leave. If the whiners want their own server they can go make one. This one just happens to belong to some folks who are tired of the whiners wrecking their game when they get nothing for it.

Implement this rule set and let's move on.
