Scout's an absolute joke. So let's change the "rules"

[Jimjam]

The breakthrough would be CSR attending a few scouts in ghost mode and observing habitual roll/not helpers and handing out bans for the offenders.

That sounds very dystopian, miniluv

[Jimjam]

I know, awesome, right! Maybe throw out some raid bans too!

As a Brit dystopian governance is what I am most familiar with.

sorry about your brexit

Pretty simple actually. Change scout respawn to 1 hour. In about 1 week it will be down to a normal amount of players.

Then it would be more like classic/live, where Scout is up most of the time but you don't get a free raid force to kill the Captain anymore, you have to bring your own.

Kills two birds with one stone, gets ppl their quest gear and fixes the 'free loot' concept, as very quickly there will be the Scout left up unattended because there is not a force to engage.

Alot of encounters on p99 could be fixed by a faster spawn timer, letting ppl get their pixels, and everyone stop arguing over windows and socking, but that's a bigger discussion.

Make scout 1hr.

Without commenting on whether or not this is a good idea, it's not classic and it's not gonna happen.

Sigh, why did I know the first response was going to be 'not classic'.

Neither is FTE. Neither is Sont's AE being a proc. Neither is the leashing rules in NToV that allow pulling to zone. Neither is the current state of the Sneak skill. Neither is half a dozen spells that don't work like classic. There are no class based XP penalties like classic. Levitate for boats to avoid collision issues didn't exist on live. Neither is FD's memblur. Restrictions on swarming did not exist, nor AOE targets. etc etc etc

If people ever want to see progress in this game and things like this made better, they need to realize that this game is not classic right now and stop using that argument. Improvements that are not classic are all over p99. It's 2018, it's time to continue to improve upon the game in other quality of life areas. Add the PoP trade skill UI to save everyone's carpal tunnel. Add Surefall glade TP spells to save the damn WK walks. Turn off coin weight, or fix the coin WR bags. Reduce timers so more people can actually see content and play the game. We all have jobs and kids and none of us can play 18hrs a day anymore.

I'm not saying change the game to be not like EQ, but adapt to the community and times to make some small changes that will help out the current player base in 2018.

Let's start with something small.... the scout timer. It's no drop gear, so the economy is not affected. It will be more like classic in the end, requiring you to drag a few groups out to kill the captain instead of a free shot twice a day. Nobody loses with that small change, and it enhances everyone's gameplay.
