Yes, because on those servers, Nagafen ignores magician pets and goes for the master, so all of the magicians would die before their pets kill him.
You see, those devs saw an issue (pet walling) and fixed it.
Here on P99 though, they see zone-pulling and just implement dumb rules and continue to allow it, instead of making you crawl the zone like you're supposed to.
I crawl NToV once or twice a month, takes about 3-4 hours with a solid 50-60 man raid in Velious era. You could too, just agree to rotate it with the other guilds on the server. Here are some rotation blocks you can do:
- NToV
- WToV + Klandicar + Zlandicar
- Dozekar + Statue + Tormax
- Dain + Yelinak + Cazic Thule + Ring War
- Veeshan's Peak
- Trakanon + Venril + Kunark Dragons
There you have 6 blocks to spread between 6 raid entities. Nagafen + Vox can be run as an open raid every week. What a magical server this would be. |
It's a really neat idea, and I'd probably enjoy doing it, but you played on this server long enough to know that it isn't realistic. All it would take is one rag tag group of raiders to come in before all mobs in the "block" are up and start sniping shit to ruin it for everyone.
P99 staff wants no instances, and they have been firm on that stance as long as i've been here, full rotations are just another form of instancing, and non instanced raiding will by it's very nature devolve into a neckbeard competition.
It's been constant 1 upsmanship as long as I can remember, from sitting on raid spawns with 100+ people in Kunark, to Jav spamming / Autofiring, to Coth ducking, to manipulating FPS to move faster.
The one guarantee about this server is that it will always become the least common denominator.
