New ToV Racing Rules

[dafier]

At work right now... just got done cloning some people.

I rubbed my head after and smelled my hand. It's smells.... weird. Not bad, but musky.

I think we could give casuals a free shot at the entire end zone once every 5-6 weeks. Please explain to me how bad that could possibly be?

I and a few others were advocating for something similar back in 2013. The answer is this:

The problem is that you give yourselves mobs for free. Us in A/A much like our NTOV all the time and a bit of VP (-minus stuff bda snags). Why should we give you anything? The players and guilds that came to form A/A, wanted all that BiS loot, forced themselves in there and work hard to stcave into their deay there getting that loot. Why would A/A let anyone just take their shit for free? Neither side certainly gets their shit for free, if you want loot you must work for it.

This thread is deja vu. A pointless waste of time, because even tho some of the leadership has changed the ideology of a/a is exactly the same as that of TMO or IB was when they were dominating. It's a job to them and not a game to be enjoyed, and certainly not to be 'enjoyed' by anyone else.

Look at how this guy talks. They think they own the game and the pixels therein (and to an extent they do) but their whole attitude is a stinking pile of shite and to any sane person plain embarrasing.

Unless the casuals get their act together more; which is not as unlikely as it was when TMO were dominating, Rogean/Nilbog will do what they did pre velious and bring back the class system (assuming the status quo of domination is maintained and the server hasnt died) The casuals will just have to wait for that to happen.

tl;dr pointless thread going nowhere.

It's my understanding that it's a non starter discussion with variance and staff. I don't think anything under 10 is realistic but shoot for 10-12. 12 literally harms no one. It's too long for casuals to sock full windows. It's too long for A/A to come roaring back into Kunark full force. It keeps windows a little tighter in between our 4 earthquakes a year. It just takes a little poop out of the socks.

Week 1 - Earthquake
Week 2 - 8-12 hour variance
Week 3 - Earthquake
Week 4 - 8-12 hour variance

Move Earthquake timers back or forward X hours.

Win/win/win

Sounds like you're asking volunteers to do more volunteering.

I'll fuckin do it then if Sirken is too busy turning people into gnomes in EC to get around to it.

Only Rogpal can hit the earthquake button iirc. I'm sure everyone would love that kind of job.

I think Swish has a crush on me

Really though, automate two repops a month with the off weeks having normal, non classic variance to allow guulds to pick which mobs they want to put effort into.

During repops people enjoy this game. During the other 50 spawn cycles people bitch about it. The answer seems pretty evident to me

You are damn wrong. A/A would gladly take lower variance , even though it helps casuals. The shit is not fun. Play both sides before ya speak.
I have spoke to leaders and officers of your casual guild and literraly damn near begged them and explained to them how lower variance would help them. And they fought me. Not A/A . I am on no side. I am a ever crack junky. We are not here to attack you. and PLEASE when did TMO secretly agree (not make a public rant about it) to give away kunark/classic mobs for 3 or whatever weeks like A/A recently agreed to.

Now onto the leaders. Put up or shut up.
I have had 7 or more casual guild leaders and officers that were going into the most recent GM meeting fight with me. What about? Oh yea , lowering variance. But then the same fucking people bitch about top end taking all the mobs. WTF are ya guys smoking? You should get in this convo because you know who you are because I tried to help you BEFORE the meeting and you all was worried about dumb shit that has not , and will not , help you 1 damn bit.
Races? Rules? oh yea "this will help the casual" . Get fucking real.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Maybe because I am not in a casual guild they just assume I was trying to harm them? but i don't think that would even hold up. Well it wouldn't if you have a higher than mental retardation IQ. Because you would see the bigger picture.
Good luck racing A/A I can tell you for a fact a lower variance would HELP YOU.
Races , will not. We blast past you and tag that FTE all day everyday... but please prove me wrong. All you that ignored or fought my plea for you to ask for a lower variance. All you leaders and officers that literally have excuses (hope they post them its hilarious) that lower variance would hurt you.

Top end is not the blood thirsty people of last few years, in fact most them are gone and just a few remain. Why do you think A/A just made an agreement to leave kunark and classic to the casuals for 3 or whatever weeks. Its because we hate you and want you to die? ... nope. Please remove head from ass and again see the bigger picture. The overwhelming majority of the people you speak of are GONE. They left when class R otation was forced.

ps please post the excuses you fed me. Your "reason" for fighting for races instead of lower variance. You obviously didn't discuss it with your members because the shit talk is rampant. And what I said to you is common sense in the MMO world.
Please post our conversations to the public. It was PMs so I won't do it right now, but if u same people keep saying dumb shit I have no choice but to show the public your ridiculous paper thin arguments. These guild leaders I speak of , are "leaders" that are leading their people to being totally dominated by A/A and reduced to handouts . You people are wrong. Maybe let the public tell you because you all ignored me and fought me on variance , then you turn around and fought for... races.
Jeeze
smh

#rant off

Automated repops so everyone can plan for them? Sounds great. See you at the popular camp spots with 300 others.

Or perhaps we could start a thread in raid discussion and pre-plan what each guild is going to take? Shit, maybe even rotate stuff based on knowing there'll be another one soon.

In truth, scheduled repops sounds horrible, not classic, lends weight to NA time zone players over any Euros/Aussies/Asians/etc... and you're a dum dum who doesn't think these things out.
