yeah its by far the worst epic roadblock and it doesnt help that ench is the most desired class in groups so every man and his dog is playing a ench at the moment. every other class is easymode epics.

Yeah. It sounds like P99.

The reason its like that is the cities don't spawn instances like everywhere else does. Nobody else has that problem, it's just an enchanter epic thing.

How willfully ignorant are you?

Shorter variance means everything is going to be on the same day. Meaning that a_random_trashy_ntov_dragon could be ignored because A/A are going for CT or tormax for instance.

VS dying again to A/A is because he simply isn't on the same day as more important things or anything is going on. VS made from 7 day to 3 day spawn has nothing to do with variance.

Long variance guarantees the win for A/A. They got the resources to cover those 16 hours that the smaller guilds can't. Spawn times and the "value" of the mobs can get spread around such that, it would be acceptable to maybe loose out on a_random_trashy_ntov_dragon to scoop up say a_better_VP_dragon or trakanon.
Velious earthquakes reset Velious timers and not Kunarks moran.

I'm not sure why you think this will change the server though. The server population dropping to 800 online at peak would be the solution, not the problem. I'm guessing that A/A will duel it out until one of them breaks and they merge (probably 4-6 months away). At that point we'd have one monster guild getting 80% of the pixels and 3-4 smaller guilds farming HOT and picking up a few targets here and there when they decide to play variance quest, and the server staff being reasonably satisfied with that. They would at least get fewer petitions [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


Especially the collective effect; it reminds me of Vowels
Less people = less capable forces to combat the big dogs. It changes nothing except watering down any possible competition the true neckbeards could ever have.

VP keys are pretty easy. Nothing in the game is soul crushing like p99. It's just fun hanging out with my friends experiencing content whenever/however we want.
Add to that, this P99 server is done, there's no more content ever. At least you get Luclin, PoP and beyond...this Velious shit is getting old fast.
