I'd like to point out Azrael had about 20-25 people @ the server reset trying to contest, many of them the same people on said forum saying lol unemployed.

Not me, due to afformentioned work and Tuesday being a day I can never log onto EQ. So I can still say lol unemployed and not be a hypocrit.

If you don't like raid mobs you've pushed out of the other guild's convenient windows being reset 3 times in a month, then don't play...? Sounds like what much of the complaining is about. Not sure if good advice... or if you tryna be the jerk here... or its me.

My point is this.

If you can only down a boss when it falls into a small time window then your guild is not going to get a ton of boss kill. The guild which can kill in a much larger window will always get more kills long term.

You cannot expect the boss to always be in your prime kill time.

Esp when it resets every time the effort is put in to get it to the opening of that window.

Just saying. . .

Got to understand, that is going to happen. It happened on classic as well since they worked 8-5pst so patches and resets generally happened in that time frame.

Rogean is east coast, do you expect him to be up at 4am saying hey the server needs rebooting?

Actually...

Classic EQ was managed by a West Coast based company (operating in Pacific Standard), and nearly every scheduled patch took place starting at either Midnight or 2AM PST.

Further, server crashes were not scheduled and never happened repeatedly at the same time like Project 1999's "simulated crashes" (3:30pm EST).
