Simulated Patch Day Repop's

[guineapig]

Figured this would be a better place to post this.

I was thinking of a simple script like this:

You have 6 mobs on a random spawn currently.
(Inny, CT, Vox, Naggy, Dracho, Maestro)

1.) When either of those boss mobs repop the script checks to see if any other bosses are up.

2.) If no other boss mobs are up then the script does a random roll(maybe a 1 in 6 to a 1 in 10 chance).
If the roll succeeds then all the other boss mobs pop as well and at the same time.

3.) Once the script is triggered (AKA all bosses up at once) there is a 3-5 day cooldown before the script can be triggered again.

/end script

And now you have 6 raid bosses spawning at once instead of just one!!!

There would be no need to manually do anything. You would just be adding the same script to the six mobs that are already scripted to pop at random times.

End result is, once in a while all bosses spawn at once. No way to exploit it, no server crash. And no telling when it will happen. Seems like a fairly simple script to implement.

I fail to see how simulated patches would cause exploitation. At least not anything that isn't done already. Simulated patches don't require any coding to be changed.

Crash raid zone of your choice....patch simulated....boss pops.

Work into hair vigorously.

Repeat as necessary.

I don't either since the way it was explained was that it would not pop on a zone crash. What else could be exploited? Sounds lazy to me, but they have the right to be so w/e.

The Dev's sayd no chance they would do it, so why dont you give it up already? They have theyr reasons and dont need to explain every step they make to you ...

OK, hear me out.

What we could do is have the Devs randomize a day and time for 3 simulated server restarts per month. When the time comes for the "patch" they take down the server for 30 min or so and then restart it and repop the raid targets by hand instead of hard coding the repop.

The day and time would be posted like it was on live.

Yea but they also say they want this server to be like classic. Only reason we've seen is that they said they don't want people to exploit, but there's no way for anyone to exploit patchday respawns(unless you know/are a gm) so i don't see what there is to worry about.

How about we do it like this.

The patch respawns ONLY occurs during european primetime.

Now thats a much better idea, because it suits me better and you don't get any nameds on any patch respawns ever.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

p.s.

your solutions is stupid.

It's about time this was brought up again.

Remove the variance, simulate patch days. Make this classic, please.
