So pro at hardcore waiting.

So MLG at autoattack.

Is this the legacy you want?

Our tombstones should all read:

"Best player in a free clone of a 15 year old video game"
"Proud champion of pointless time-wasting equality"
"Beloved defender of fantasy pixels"
"Never let casual scum engage our merbs!"

Is this your life? When (If) you have grandchildren and they come to you and say, "Grand(pa/ma), tell us how you fought to ensure that our world was at least as good as yours." will you proudly extol the virtues of blocking with ogre walls and exploiting event mechanics to force another guild to wipe on your dragons? When your boss invites you to lunch to talk about the success of your latest project and your career potential, and asks you, "How was your weekend?" will you tell him/her, "Oh, it was great! We stopped those casual class R scum from trying to attain something!"? When you stand next to a disabled veteran at a crosswalk and the signal turns to walk, will you trip them and run across the street shouting, "lol get lost, stupid casual"?

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Can't we all just get along?

I think the variance should be adjusted so that the mob doesn't spawn on the same time of day on the exact same day each week.

this could be done by either adding or subtracting the hour but not varying on both sides.

people play on this server at different time zones and days. don't alienate them by pigeon-holding spawns to the same day and time each week.

Fair point. So that it gets forcibly pushing in one direction?

So like... 7 Days + 0-60 min? Instead of 7 Days +/- 30 min?

Or is there some better way to make sure it doesn't alienate euros or asian time zone people?

If you wanted to do this you would need to change the mean spawn time such that it is not a multiple of some number of days, not the +/- (which is what adding the 'variance' one sided does, it makes it a spawn of every 7 days 30 mins +/- 30 mins, or 7.02 days +/- 30 min)

So rather than every 7 days + one-sided variance, you could think of it as spawn every 7.358 days +/- whatever variance you want.

right now, all the mobs are rotated between c / r / ffa. regular respawns and simulated repops.

simulated repops that are FFA usually don't require mediation or fraps or petition or poopsock.

regular respawn mobs that are FFA cause all the problems. they need to be eliminated.

so take away FFA from regular respawns, make it C / R.

make all simulated repops FFA.

problem solved.

thats what everyone besides tmo is saying.
