Raid Rotation

[skarlorn]

If you kill Sontalak, you are allowed to join the Vindi Rotation!

Where can I sign on Rivervale Vanguard?

After reading a bit further back into this thread, I have noticed some talk about the doubles and triplets in ToV. I Think this particular situation pertains especially to Venerate. Our entire focus for a few months has been aimed at the limited opportunities at success for those dragons. Recently, the fruits of our labor have started to show... Leading to our first recent kills and engagements. Let me tell you what; it feels real good on some of my members and officers that have worked tirelessly at this. DONT throw this away for a rotation. Uncontested kills don't mean anything.

One more thing. When Cekenar popped today when Sevalak was at 14%... I was quick to receive tells letting me know LB and Ven were DQ'd from Cekenar. Yet, Triples have been up all day and none of the casuals have moved on it. What do I actually have to do to make and actual real move to you people?

Who told you that you were DQ'd from Cekenar?

yes, please root the dragons. Aarynar, Vyemm, and the others that were perma rooted.

Make all dragons spawn in random zones and force people to log in and mobilize to them

Tov dragons in b maze? Perfect

No worries. It was just by a matter of moments. A phone call I had to take pre-engagement. Waiting for people to trickle in for an hour. The stunt we pulled to get into position for the kill. All these things took time. Time we are looking to shave out of our routine. Hopefully we can see you all again next week.... until next time, casuals signing out.

Also, if you were present at that raid, and you are reading this... Get signed into cleric accounts earlier, get parked out earlier. Part of this is <LB> leaderships fault.... but every single one of us know what day it is, and what time it is. We now see we are capable of our goals and have not been wasting time. Focus our power together casual troops and lets do this shit.

It's fair now if you completely ignore RL.

The current non rotation favour no lifers.

It's not about casuals being entitled to free loot. Beating the encounter is earning the loot. Socking for 18 hours is not the content.

The problem is self perpetuating. Casuals who have done all except the cock blocked content leave, sockers remain. Eventually the server is full of maniacs and all the cool people have left. That's not a classic vibe either.

Rotation isn't classic but classic never stayed classic, it had new content. Permanent classic is not classic. A rotation would solve this. Everyone will still get all the pixels eventually, just slightly less fast but everyone would gain thousands of more valuable rl hours they used on socking.

Maintaining the spirit of classic (i.e actually being fun) is more important than literally mechanical classic. We never had all the knowledge of game mechanics we do now back then, that alone makes it different.

Make P99 good again. Bring back rotation.

There is less socking right now on Project1999 than in the entirety of the last 5 years.

I can't say for 5, but right now we have more guilds going for more targets than anytime in the last 2 years I've been raiding. The entire scene changed with bi-monthly repops. The fact that mob windows don't get spread out for months at a time greatly reduces the amount of tracking required. The next step is to #rootthedragons. If we could get a Vulak ring event and most of NTOV rooted we'd see even more guilds getting involved while the top end raiders are busy doing the hardest content. This could even stand to increase the loot drops to classic levels.

You must have an awful memory, the number of competing guilds has plummeted.

I'm not arguing for full rotations, but the server has been far healthier in the past.
