I think the major difference is that Velious content is not race content like Kunark is right? I really am just speculating, but can a guild kill all the dragons in NToV before you get Zlandicar and some other first brood? If so, doesn't that leave Tormax and Dain and Idol available? All of those are things that most people can't handle and would be available to Forsaken, Rampage, Taken and BDA.

No they can't, it would take hours.

But during an Earthquake/server restart Rampage wouldn't even go for NToV first. First Brood dragons are first priority - Taken/BDA/Forsaken/more casual guilds would have tons of time to kill content, even get a bunch of tries at stuff in NToV, Tormax, Dain, etc.

But we haven't had an Earthquake in Velious yet, and the one patch we had didn't repop most Velious targets just old world/Kunark.

So yeah more Earthquakes.

I'm putting this in terms of an earthquake situation of course.

These don't exist in Velious apparently.

We have yet to have a sim repop. We had 1 server reset and it occurred at like 6AM.

The problem with server resets right now is they put Velious mobs as 0-24 hour window up-times. Meaning they aren't immediately spawned on server up like Kunark mobs are. Also with the 16-hour variance that plagues almost every raid mob on the server, these spawn times are spread out hugely, allowing a guild with a deep roster and around the clock mobilization + good pullers the ability to contest every single mob.

Less variance, more sim repops would make for a more classic raid environment.

Is that really Daldaen having a dig at Rogean? I thought you had GM status on beta.

That, my friend, is something everyone agrees on.

I don't understand why Forsaken has not done well. Gimpatron was approached by three different competitive guilds for a straight alliance with us against Rampage and then when we tried to test it out to see if they could work with us they were like "yeah please bring your 50 people to our 24 hour competition, but we won't consider you equals and let you have a equivalent share at loot. There will always be items that we want and won't allow you to have a chance at."

In my opinion, I appreciate BDA in the respect that you guys haven't playing any snake-like tricks like that. I legitimately think that people working together in good faith can get anything they want on this server, rampage or no rampage. But being a snake and using people is so not the way.

BDA/Taken could be a super huge thing... just saying =-)

Truth.

Definitely need more Earthquakes to really see how that shakes out, but we are headed for one with this next patch, I'm sure. We are really close to needing a full restart. Every 42 days or so the game bugs out and it's getting to that here in the next few days.

He already said it depends on what is Class C exclusive. If it's just Sleepers, then BDA would probably stay R.

Sirken made mention in very low details that it could possibly be Sleeper and ToV exclusive.
