Simulated Repop and Moving all characters to West Commons

Which as I just explained this wouldn't slow Class C down a bit. Which means they would still largely get what they wanted outside of VP on repops as well. They just have more resources. So if you want to make them more exciting for everyone you have to find a system that eliminates their resources.

If they want to spend 100,000s of plat rebinding melee and burning gate potions every sim repop, go for it.

You think they will finish in VP, swap to Alts, and gate to KC to do VS before other guilds port from WC and Selos run to KC?

Even then if they did, that's a single mob. Not a big deal.

But a port system that doesn't give the meganeckbeards with different rooms camped at each raid mob a minimal leg up versus just some level 60 rogue main with no Alts. Which is one of the goals.

Another would be doing this to remove variance entirely so poopsocking and staring at a wall for 16 hours straight isn't something we reward here. Just fast mobilizing and killing mobs.

They wouldn't have to rebind. They are already bound at VP on their Mellee. Their alts are already bound at KC. So yes I think gating beats Selos. It's just slightly faster. Slightly.

This could be circumvented by keeping Alts unguided and then inviting after target has popped, or just not inviting at all. Would require considerable effort to police unless applied to all who are in and/or enter the zone at which point you are affecting people who are not necessarily interested in participating.

Again just another implementation detail if you haven't accepted the port or succor you are banished from the encounter naggy style. You flag per character with a buff or server side flag.

My idea is simpler and more fun. Would be cool if, for example, Faydedar had the same chance of spawning in Dagnor's, LOIO, Lake Rathe, OOT, Erud's Crossing as TD. Sure a guild could still sock somewhere, but five out of six times they'll be socking the wrong zone.

I'm level one. Can I join?

I don't necessarily think replacing all spawn timers + variance with lots of rumble repops is a bad idea, but moving pre-camped characters is a dumb idea.

Daldaen, you are the king of "Not Classic", this is Not Classic. Why the double standard? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ok, if they are able to implement encounter specific flags like that, which reset each kill or day via a Rez type dialogue box, I think you could reasonably control the impact to those who do not wish to participate.

However, I would still like to see it implemented via the quest system for immersion and to avoid muddying the server code as much as possible. Non-classic quests and abilities are easier to remove than. On. Lassos mechanics.
