New sneak mechanics = trainfest?

[Pokesan]

yeah all those hypothetical casuals getting FTEs in ntov will really suffer.

could i count CSG ftes in the past year on one hand or would it take two? (no offense intended to them)

The only person here actually complaining about the changes is lhance and he is complaining second handedly basically.

I ain't complaining, I support the changes and welcome more changes. Hope they reinvent the wheel so to speak regarding the raids here.

If there's one thing I dislike on P99, it's the raid scene.

Since I left the last guild I was in, I have been happier and found the game fun again playing alts and doing group content or soloing. Basically doing everything but raids.

I honestly want to like raiding, it would open up other facets to my character developments but alas, as it stands on P99 this will never happen.

The trick is to camp your lvl 60 out and do all those things, then when something spawns, log over.

Yeah maybe so. Sounds easy enough, and I imagine if you find kindred souls in a guild this might work out.

What ya gonna do with bind points removed from ToV?

On Live we'd have a mage die, monk flop up to coth point with their corpse, and rez them with a staff of forbidden rites charge. They'd be grouped with an anchor at zonein and they'd start coth at the ntov safe point. I imagine it would go back to that in the worst case, which is classic and totally fair.

Realistically I think FTE rules in NToV are going to need a rethink. If a mob is up, it should be 'first one there in force'. Casual guilds are more than willing to put in the effort to get there and clear to north, the issue is that the easy-loot-pinata that has reigned on this box meant that there were just no mobs up by the time everyone got home from work in the evening.

With the zone such a pain in the ass now, I sincerely hope it burns out a lot of people in the high end guilds. The casuals enjoy the other content on the server, and aren't living their lives for those northern pixels, they're just a fun treat. If we see people burning out in A/A that would be good for the server overall. One or two guilds shouldn't be monopolizing that content.

Why not keep the races the same just introduce like a 4 hour lock hell even 24. If said casual guild gets fte they're basically out the game for a long time. I dunno what exactly should change but camping past zone in shouldn't be one😵😵.

I mean at this point any guild committed to a deep dergan is going to go past the one hour. How long well, I'm sure it will vary but while the guilds are past the zone line they're excluded to new spawns. So you're risking it if something spawns while your entire raid force is past the ZL. You're basically SoL unless it's already up on a repop situation. This is all with current rule set in mind. This is a gift to casuals as I forsee spawns being left up in hopes of better pixels and a curse to the hardcore while all the dragons share a window since they'll be past the zone killing way more often or have more than just 1 target in mind for the weekend.

Tried it. Doesn't work. Too much trouble for very little reward.

Besides, logging over to kill a mob when you're in a group is a douchey thing to do.
