A/A Suspended 20 days...

[Menden]

Hey nerds, stop petitioning in game "CAN I DO THIS?? IS THIS A RAID???"

https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=189856

Q23: What exactly is off limits during a Raid Suspension?
A: Anything that has an FTE message and/or is considered more than one group content is a no (except Lodizal, and Ragefire), no planes (except Plane of Sky and only on your rotation day), no VP, no ToV, no ST. Ringwar is ok on your rotation turn only.

This suspension has given the other guilds on the server a great gift in that they have 2 earthquakes (maybe even 3?) and 20 days of usual respawns to learn and practice. Will they use this time to hone their raid forces and make effort to compete or will they take it as free loot and revert back to complaining about server bogey men when the suspensions are over. Hard to say but I know i'm putting my money on.

That is EQ. Plenty of other MMO or co-op type games that support different play. I think the player base comes back to this one because it taps into something primal in the human condition.

The game just wasn't designed with participation medals in mind, those that are willing to go that extra mile for their goals are rewarded (just like real life!) so 'git gud' is very much applicable.

cause that's just how life is, survival is all about being better than the competition and Whether or not we agree with it is arbitrary.

right about RL, but this is a video game. plenty of servers have/have had rotations, including this one. weren't A/A rotation the crummy ntov dragons recently as well?

They have to become strong enough to knock them off the block or at least stand eye to eye with them. Otherwise, no. Venerate tried to break into the A/A circle when I joined them, I remember Kiix trying to negotiate for rotations. Those didn't happen. You have to have the numbers and the skill and just go take them. You are a force or someone that has to be managed.

As many frustrations as that can cause I am thankful the game still exists, I have little if any respect for modern MMO games but I have mind myself or else I come off like a P99 Red vs. Blue player.

Competition makes people try harder to succeed and thus perform better. Someone who wins a competition is generally better than someone who loses. Law of nature.

the answer i was leading toward is - the absolute mountain of shit top end raiders would dump on the server would be ruinous to staff health and wellbeing. staff are badly outnumbered and outgunned. it's a threat and a credible one.

You can't blame the staff for the community showing time and time again they can't act with any sort of maturity.I say the staff should leave the raid scene alone and lawless for a month, and see how much shit gets downed with the constant training and KS'ing.

Agnarr has a 6k population I hear.

What? You don't wake up in the middle of the night for pixels?

Dedication, possibly crazy but who am I to judge that when I live in a world where people go to extreme lengths for all sorts of things that interest them.

I just went to River's Casino and played a 46 person Texas Hold'em tournament. I got a Royal Flush! First time ever and I play poker a lot!

Placed in third though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] My AK hit a king on the turn but the other guy flopped a set of 3's.

Still won big money!

I may not like your approach to P99, but I like that you play poker.

Well done.

Fun fact - over 70% of players in the final table get busted out from AK... it aint as good as it looks.

The real shame here is joe budden leaving everyday struggle.

Didnt know that. Honestly I usually get fucked with pocket Aces. I get fucked with Aces vs Kings more than any other person in the world. I almost dont want to even play Aces cause I just know itll lose lol
