On its dying breath, <Criot> cries enough to turn blue into Dice simulator 2022

[Ripqozko]

VQ grasping at straws
you hate to see it

[ClephNote]

Someone should script 3 quakes a week. Remove respawns from the game completely.

That’s more classic than rooted dragons or rolled Dains, imo.

[Viscere]

Tbh rolls seems temporary, not sure GMs are super satisfied with the dice meta

Either Rota C/R system which had its + and -

or Rooted, would be dope.

Honestly rooted dragons in ToV are great, we get to kill flurries, explore the zones etc, A lot of people are unhappy about it, but I think a majority or people are actually satisfied with it (pulling vulak to entrance was dumb).

It would only logical for them to root Statue/AoW/KT as well as Dain on its throne, would make for a great change.

+1 for Rooted Kael/Thurgb!

[Solist]

Let’s start with just adjusting dragon dps and resists to classic levels.

[Tunabros]

it all went downhill from rooted dragons

[Croco]

addendum:

Most player interaction with people who aren't in your same guild doesn't happen during raids. It happens during random grouping and in EC. And none of that would be affected by instanced raiding or rotations.

Have you ever wondered that maybe if there never were rotations on any p99 server it's maybe because it's a bad idea ?

Anything remotely close was the the C/R system that lasted 6 months before being completed abandonned

Give ppl a competitive server and a rotation server. Let the numbers decide which one is a "bad idea"

Vocal minority likes one thing. Silent majority has been unhappy with P99's raid scene since the beginning. Many have quit because of it. Some still play in spite of it because they enjoy other aspects enough to deal with it. Only a few actually enjoy it. Ever wonder why there's always 1 or 2 guilds dominating everything that's even vaguely important since the beginning of the server? Because people don't want to compete. Everyone just flocks to whatever guild gets pixels and waits their turn for loot in mile long DKP pixel queues. If people truly loved "competitive" (lol) EQ as much as some of you people like to imagine they do wouldn't you think there would be more guilds trying to compete instead of big ass zergs at the top?

Y'all need Jesus

Riot was quite content when they were the controlling entity on the server and staunchly against allowing in new entities. They're not magically saints now that a different force is the controlling entity.

Have you forgotten server history now? The C/R rotation showed that these "silent majority" guilds still weren't happy when given a bigger piece of the pie. When you removed competitive guilds from the equation, they continued squabbling amongst themselves.

That's what these people want. To weasel and Arcler their way to more loot rather than killing dragons. And what we learned from the C/R rotation is that this server is never going to tee up free loot for guilds just because they exist.

If you want to raid, you should have enough ambition to prepare for killing the targets you want and the skill to see it through.

The targets are not going to stay up indefinitely while you herpderp your way over and throw bodies at it for a dozen half-assed attempts.

The intention of this server is not to coddle the "silent minority." The intention here is to be a nostalgia based server true to the original mission. And the truth is, these people would have never have been max level or had epics during this era.

They now have the chance to re-live it and to make their goals, but they won't make their goals on the same casual path. At least not very quickly, anyway.

My comment wasn't directed at any specific guild or group. I don't give 2 shits about which 2 groups of neckbeards and their merry bands of warmbodies are doing what. It's been the same clowns doing the same shit since TMO/IB days. I'm talking server population by and large does not agree with or enjoy the way the endgame works on this server and they haven't for a very long time. Many continue to play in spite of it because they enjoy the game for other reasons

C/R was a clusterfuck for a variety of reasons. Nobody is asking for that back. Nor is anyone asking for "free loot". People are just saying they don't want to participate in 16 hours (per mob and every week or less for years on end) of staring at a screen waiting to run a pre-practiced (for dozens of hours) footrace to hopefully get FTE on a mob and probably still lose cause someone else was scripting or simply had better ping to the server.

This is Everquest we're talking about. Acting like anything on this server requires true "skill" is laughable at best. EQ is a game about knowledge. Very very little mechanical skill is required. As for ambition? I'd argue the lengths people are required to go to in order to get endgame pixels here goes way beyond ambition and borders on psychotic.

The intention of this server as stated (ad nauseam) by the people in charge is to recreate classic EQ as closely as possible and serve as a sort of "museum" of what EQ was in the classic era. The list of "not classic" changes made to P99 is too long to count. Many of them are specifically tied to the endgame systems that you're defending.
