I think Daldaen is of the opinion that you need to go into Naggy/Vox with twinked 52s with a shit ton of resist gear.

How about we drop that mentality and try to be a little more classic? Not everything is about min/maxing each encounter.

Personally I think it would be great to see a young progressing guild down one or the other and post it up on the forums... P99 needs these guilds more than the burnout zerg guilds like Taken/BDA realize.

No, Daldaen is right here. Taken and Forsaken teamed up to destory the last Nagafen; you need 2 raids with twinked 52s to have a shot.

What an enticing community we must be for new players......

I'll fall for the troll who talks out his ass without knowing a thing about reality.

Last Vox BDA got was with 11 (less than 2 full groups) that were about as geared as your average main at that level. If these guilds want a shot, they just have to prepare and track it.

And if you want to resist a fear, yeah, you'll need a little resist gear. Fortunately a good enough resist set is only gonna run you around 3k.

Now if only I didn't have to log on to the forums to ignore Swish.

A bit. I can understand flash mobbing a Velious target, because of its difficulty and required raid composition, but why up the ante on the small classic and kunark encounters?

I wasn't on, it spawned during normal working hours I think.

What was the total force number that flash mobbed Nagafen?

Mobbed AND trained from both sides. Bugs/Bats/Beetles first and then someone in that mob had a pet warp through the roof (like they have been doing) and trained everyone with Nagafen. Concessions were asked for, BDA got told to fuck off, and y'all killed the dragon. Our fraps and logs are quite conclusive but who gives a shit.

P99 raiding! Catch the fever!

Last Nagafen didn't really have a zerg on any side, it was just a fustercluck from all of the training going on.

BDA had 8, which is fine for Naggy/Vox. One of our better Vox kills was like 7 or something.

To those saying that splitting the server would kill the population, you are wrong from my point of view. When there's 800 players online, but 300 of them are socking NtoV/AoW etc etc, the real population for casual players like me is 500 players.

I don't raid a lot, so I dont have interactions with most members of the top guilds. If there was a server split and most casual players moved there and the top guilds remained here, most casual wouldn't even see the difference. I'm sorry to say that because there are plenty of nice people in the top guilds, but from a Casual player's point of view, top-end players basicly don't exist and are not part of the same community. .

Let's be honest here. We are not all playing the same game. There's a huge difference between population and community. Let's say all the casual players left the server, aside from being unable to sell your unwanted loot in EC, this game would be basicly the same for the top guild members : Get batphone, log on, compete with the same guilds for the same mobs, log off. Prepare your next RnF posts.

I don't think instances is a good option, but my opinion is irrelevant about that because that content is not meant for players like me on this server and never will. If there was ever a casual server on the horizon, I would gladly make the move. Something like limiting a guild's rosters to 100 toons would probably be enought to make sure the high-end drama we see here wouldn't find it's way there.

Limiting the roster does nothing, you'll just have ZergGuildAlpha, ZergGuildBeta, etc. You can still coordinate without guildchat.

There's only really two factions at the top end, those willing to do what Rampage/ForsakenGard are willing to do for pixels, and those that find issue with some of the more unseemly aspects of the raid scene. Honestly, I don't think anyone is really enjoying the raid scene. It's fun when you get loot, some of the personalities are funny to deal with, performing wacky pulls is always interesting, but it's not fun. You do what you have to do in order to get the pixels if that's your motivating factor while playing on p99.

I don't want to be the doom and gloom guy but the raid scene is as bad as it's ever been, and even knowing that I'll be around jumping through hoops because I want to keep my community together, and playing the game is what makes us stick together (us = BDA)
