Angry Goblin Roll revision?

[Daetien]

I'd agree to change Angry Goblin to 30 seconds. Heaven forbid you turn your head to talk to your kid for a second and roll at 11 seconds.

30 seconds doesn't allow you to log to a different character.

I think it would be better to roll at the beginning of the window to simply reduce the need to poop sock the whole window.

I agree with the 20-30sec roll time,

However, i dont think you have thought the above through. Lets see how it would go...

1. Angry window starts...
2. 25 people roll, Player_001 wins. (woohoo)
3. 24 people camp out or leave Droga.
4. Player_001 sits around for 0 to 7 hours waiting for Angry.
5. Angry pops and Player_001 has to get friends to come over and help.

is there a timer at this point, if someone else shows up and Angry sits up for 30mins while Player_001 still finds support, can someone else snipe it?

6. Player_001 gets a few of his guild to come over, they turn in and kill Skargus.

Now Player_001's guild are the only people who know the timer on Angry. Looking pretty good for them on the next roll.

Even doubling it to 20 seconds would be a world better than 10 seconds.

I think the idea would be that it ideally goes:
1. Angry window start
2. 25 people roll, Player_001 wins
3. 12 people go AFK in Droga, 13 camp or go somewhere else
4. Player_001 sits around for 6 hours waiting for angry
5. Angry pops and Player_001 gets friends to come and help

Time to kill would be open to discussion and should definitely be agreed on before doing this. If you just leave it up you have to lose it at some point.

6. Guild comes over and kills Skargus. Turnin depops Angry and produces a zone wide message from Skargus (probably from what people have said?), setting the time of next roll at +3 days from that point.

7. 12 people come back from AFK over the next day and see the timer, disseminate information to guilds and other people

8. 3 days later, repeat.

So the idea to avoid having people not have to sit around for the whole window, is to have people sit AFK through the whole window running logs.

I guess its a little better, but it just seems to me to be open to too many issues and problems.

just want to check whether it is common for GMs to come back to you very slowly for petitions relating to people breaking player agreed rules.

im not talking about item reimbursements because you messed up the turn in or some bug. i'm talking about a situation where a person looted the head of skargus even though he was clearly disqualified.

i have been waiting for a reply for 3 weeks now. i have made forum petition, in-game petition, messaged GMs, even talked to some in-game. and none.

Now I feel bad writing the above post

I realise GMs are Guides are helping the best they could during their spare time, without getting paid or for anything in return.

Will just have to be more patient i guess...
