just to chime in. the potential problem with it going FFA after 60 min is that right around the 45 min mark, people will starting flooding into Kael at a super quick rate. and then once again you guys would have to deal with desync issues should 300+ people start a near biblical poopsock in hopes of getting FTE

Hmm, trueish. Again, once the mid range guilds have their fill it will be hotly contested by a couple guilds but not the whole server.

However, Sirken brings up a good point. We need to add 15 minutes to whatever time we think is reasonable to down the mob because if you are at the end of killing it and 300+ people zone in and cause you to desynch it's gonna be a problem... in fact it's blatantly against the rules to do so. So if we think 60 minutes is the max time it takes to down him, then we make it 75-90 minutes so that when people get in their peanut gallery boxes it won't wreck some guild's day.

We're talking about a single target that spawns 3x / day.

Take a step back a minute here and look in the mirror. You've got razor stubble somewhere. You're a grown adult human creature. Trying to interact with others of the same ilk.

Getting pissy or greedy or selfish or silly or petty about something that there will me nearly 1,100 of - vs. 883 high-value targets we've been used to (VP intentionally left out) - in a year seems absurd to the adult staring back at me in the mirror.

If we cannot cut each other some slack here and figure something out to give our co-humans and co-inhabitants of p99 a shot at seeing this one occasionally - without duress and insanity - we've got a whole pile of bigger problems than Vindi on an emulated server.

This is an easy one. And it feels good to be magnanimous occasionally. I promise.

One of the things that could kill a potential or ongoing agreement is differing expectations.

I know some guilds would only want to try for a Vindi or "their" Vindi in their prime time when they have the bodies to do it...and could be content to let the other two slide (if we were to agree that is okay).

So whatever we work out (and I do like the tone of things), let's put communication at the top of the list - and make that incumbent on "their Vindi"'s guild to communicate EARLY that they'll be missing - so that others can prepare and the cycle can continue to move along quickly. I know it would irk me if any given guild were to let all 3 in a day (if that were the way we did it) slip into FFA without a word - if only because there's no reason not to give a heads-up.

I don't care about the specifics, but my point is that lack of similar expectations and then ultimately communication of those expectations could send this south in a hurry. So let's agree to account for that up front and put the onus to communicate on the "our Vindi" guild.

So far im seeing some support on this topic from Europa, AG, Omni, BDA, Indignation, Asgard and Forsaken. Looks like we need Taken, HK and Rampage to speak into it with their thoughts?

[Pan]

HK spoke in one of my posts. They're in and will provide input as we go and as needed.

Thumbs up from Divinity. Especially with the tone of the discussion / posts. Makes total sense to come to an (noble) agreement over this target - Divinity's aboard.

[bktroost]

Let's get some commentary from rampage and taken please.

[Hokushin]

Rampage agrees to a Vindi rotation

[bktroost]

awesome, i got a message from anonymous about this too saying they were in. Is there anyone we are missing? If not I'll throw up a calendar for this month, say starting on the 15th? That way everyone knows what to expect and that only means a few more days of vindi madness.

[Pint]

great news, any details on how we want to approach the actual rotation?
