Raid Changes

[Briscoe]

I already juxtaposed these quotes in a different thread a few months ago, but I shall do it again:

(P.S. When was the last time we did a simulated respawn? I'll check to see which guilds got what)

A patch during peak times is the best thing to happen for those of us in non "super" guilds in a long time. We were actually able to engage (and even kill!) a few spawns before every single raid named was completely wiped out. I think even for those small guilds out there who attempted some kills but failed, were probably still satisfied that they were even given the opportunity. This high end tier of raiding is generally experienced only by a small fraction of players on the server (which I think is a bad thing) and so seeing folks who don't fit under this generalization succeed in claiming and defeating these spawns is not only exciting but really makes our time spent on Project 1999 much more enjoyable. So I do not accept your apology and instead thank you for it.

(of course insert long responses about how variance and raid spawn timers etc etc need to be changed etc etc need more patches etc etc resets every week etc etc blah blah)

Thanks!

Thought about logging in after a month. Came to the forums and read this and then wanted to log in even more. Then hit the character select screen and realized how lame this game and the people who play on this server are and exited. Hope you have a good weekend. Oh wait yall will just be sitting on your asses chasing pixels.

Peaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'd be upset too if I were a ranger with a bard alt.

A serverwide message will go off indicating that the simulated patch day respawn has or will be taking effect shortly. All raid mobs will (either immediately, delayed, or spanned, tbd) respawn.

This is where this idea takes a complete shit IMO.

The respawn needs to happen unannounced, period.

People have trackers, and they need to mount of their own accord on the mobs that they see up. Giving notification ONLY serves the massive zerg guilds. You will simply be creating a new imbalance, and feeding the zerg machines twice as much loot.

Notify people when its OVER imo.

Aex: Notifications clearly serve the small guilds, not the big guilds who have way more manpower to track. Case in point: the guilds that currently track are TMO, FE, and BDA . . . the biggest guilds on the server. Hint: when you say silly things, at least don't be rude about it.

Cyrills: the reason there are so many epics on the server (aside from the fact that everyone knew how to do the quests from day 1) is a function of the slow progression. If this was really 1999 and we sync our timeline to when the epic quests came out, Velious would have been out last March and Luclin (!!) would be due in a month or two.

I agree with Loraen. Smaller guilds are better served by announced respawns more than larger guilds are. Top guilds can mobilize to any target in the game in under 15 minutes if sufficiently motivated.

The merits of announced repops were discussed in this thread:http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...t=84357&page=1

With a focused discussion on a prior announcement of repops beginning in earnest on pages 2 and 3.

TL;DR: That is basically 20 pages of every player on the server refuting the Developer insistence that Variance is a good and proper thing. 5 fucking months ago.

Ok so we'll make rangers better and reduce the variance. Are ya happy now?
