Didn't think Aftermath would be salty about a Naggy/Vox agreement...as someone said it's not your TOV dragons on the line at all.

Last I checked, nobody liked being forced to adhere to rules that go against them... especially for guilds that don't put in the effort to get free shit.

How do people learn fights if the encounters they want to do are dead all the time? Shouldn't have to learn on a different server.

Sharing is caring, and not sharing = -population, no new croots for you guys, etc

PS - rip your nan, cancer sucks

Why not shish? we learned on the p99 test server even before velious dropped. and even on other servers all the fights are the same and you can come with your own strats and figure out how you want to do things [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

We arent salty at all. I said in my post that we dont mind yall wanting dragons. but we also learned as well hell when I first joined forsaken I didnt know any of the fights I thought you could slow a dragon from far away didnt know you had to be under its belly the things you learn [You must be logged in to view images.

So if I read this correctly there may be 4AM Wednesday Nagafen kills if the window ends at 5AM? Hope you've got a strong Aussie crew to carry you on those days.

So when is the first one happening? Will be set after next Vox death correct?

If the goal of this venture is to get casuals in on dragon raids, wouldn't it make sense to push back the kill time when the window ends in the middle of the night? With the 12 hour grace period after the window ends, it seems like it could be pushed until morning?

Just food for thought. I'm really excited about this multi-partisan effort!

You mean the 3 people it takes to kill Naggy?

I 3-box Nagafen weekly with Warrior, Wizard and Cleric. I agree it's a fun challenge with 3.

But with low geared players on a fear dragon with an AE, plus people having the propensity to train around LDCs and FGs when they don't know how to move through Sol B... I could see this creating issues with a 10-15 man raidforce for a 3AM Wednesday spawn.

But a 50+ man Zerg force all of that is irrelevant, don't really need to play just roll face across keyboard and collect pixels.

OP being in Rustle... is Rustle on board? <3

As far as the time goes:

Think there will be questions of favoritism/serving the entire population. (I'd prefer them to be all at 9am eastern, for example, for my schedule and Omni's.)

And then questions about pushing out the spawns further and further.

And this is a 24/7 server. People across all timezones. Your "middle of the night" isn't Hong Kong's or Brisbane's.

So I like the idea of letting the timer determine raid times (rather than the scheduler being the lightning rod for the inevitable flung shit re the times). Doesn't take that many to kill them...so a raid of 24 at an odd hour might be more fun than 100+ during U.S. primetime.

And all of them will have one week's notice. With that much time to plan, people will probably be able to juggle a little. It's not like it's going to be a spur-of-the-moment batphone or something.

Well understood. Just wanted to ensure it was considered.

I think this is a great effort towards some unity on the server. Competition is a great thing, but setting it aside (every now and then) for the greater good, is in the best interest of the community's health.

Thanks again to everyone pushing to make this possible!

I would like to thank you for this movement. Being new to p99, and EQ in general, (except for a level 12 Ranger on live in 1999) I find it discouraging to hear the raiding scene is so toxic. Makes for interesting forum talk, but I just want some challenging gameplay and a few pixels!
