Raid Scene - A RnF Repost

[kotton05]

I think this calls for an open ToV raid

Just instance the raid zones then. No more petitions outside of self inflicted nerd rage.

The only difference between instancing and a rotation is the rate at which pixels are obtained, and does that really matter on a content locked server?

LOL what? There's no difference between instancing and rotations? How about the fact that instancing would be 110% not classic, and would require a massive dev effort, whereas rotations were 100% classic (on some servers) and require zero new dev effort?

Oh god, stop this "rotation" talk already, it's making me barf.

<Asgard> will not be participating in any kind of rotation what so ever. We are pretty weak now but we now have a very strong core coming up. We are simply not doing this for a "rotation". I'd rather nail my fingers to the table than do rotations again. The major problem here is that there is many people that play like robots and have been collected into the bigger guilds because pixels madness gets the best of them. That makes it hard for smaller guilds to grow but very possible. I am very open to raiding with other smaller guilds though except for the ones that's stepped on our faces while we were down. Those guilds have the same mentality as the guilds with hundreds of raiders that run over targets in seconds except they have smaller numbers.

Imagine if there was a guild of 50 people with less than 40% body fat who all liked each other and genuinely had fun raiding EQ content the way it was intended.

There once was...

Loramin is our forum Lorax and he is devoted to speaking for the Devs.

Anytime a poster suggests something that will create work for any Developer on this project, the Loramax will appear in the thread and shout "Think of the Devs!".

Although I'm not sure our problem is a lack of caring ...

And for the record, while I think everyone here should be more appreciative of the entire P99 team (not just devs), because they are literally volunteering their time to let everyone here have nostalgia-tinged fun, that really wasn't my point. My point was just a practical one: any solution that requires the devs to write new code simply isn't going to happen unless it's an extremely small thing (eg. the FTE messages).

Remember, Velious took 7 years, and we're still waiting to see how long Chardok 2.0 will take. Clearly the devs are working at that limit, so I just think it's naive for anyone to expect them to drop that work (and make Chardok 2.0 take even longer) just to try out some idea a player had for the raid scene ... an idea which has absolutely no guarantee of succeeding whatsoever.

*that limit = their limit

Are you a programmer? Cause the Lorax is a programmer. Pro grammar too.
