Velious raid mobs are almost exactly the same as Kunark raid mobs.

Flurry, rampage, 10x to 20x more HP, ya almost exactly...

No, it wont.

Not even close, and you're fucking stupid if you legitimately think that. I sincerely hope you are trolling. Please say you are, or step down from being a guide please.

Do you have any comprehension of this server what so ever? Your highest main character is 40 something?

There are dozens of us, who are willing to have a nice and lengthy conversation on the matter...But you seem to have no idea how the raid scene works. Its like amelinda all over but without the RMT flowing in to your pockets.

Velious fixes NOTHING.

VP will be on lock down 24/7
Trak, VS, all of Plane of fear including golems now on lockdown
All of hate on lockdown
All of Wtov locked down
All ST warders locked down
Eashen locked down.
Vindi, Statue, KT, and OOIV guy locked down.


Thats enough content for ONE GUILD. JUST ONE

How does velious fix ANYTHING, when it is all easily trackable, and there is enough time in 3 nights to do all of those targets. What to do with the remaining 4 nights in the week.

As ST and NtoV become viable (3 months for cleric mana and warrior HP) then 1 guild and maybe 3-4 targets for another.

It solves nothing, especially considering how population will increase as well.

Variance, is destroying this server.
Variance, is holding all loot back from everyone not in the top 2 guilds
Variance, is forcing the top guild players to track targets for TEN DAYS STRAIGHT, multiple targets, with multiple raid forces logged out at them.
Variance, is destroying any point in simulated repops if ever put in.

Simulated repops would work, for the repop. Then NEVER again until the next simulated repop, because of variance.

Worst f*cking mechanic ever implimented, and must of been done so by someone with no fucking clue how P99 works. Extended variance? Wow.... way to solidify that tattoo on your forehead, whoever it was (rogean, nilbog?).

There are SO MANY PEOPLE who want to spread the drops, spread the raid kills, play less and do more, and spend time on alts, and not destroying the economy etc.

But instead, we have extended variance, and no repops ever. Its mind bottling. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

TMO has little to no interest in Kunark with velious out. Variance is largely pointless in Velious however. Harder to poop mobs there. Velious has a natural variance on many mobs too

Variance was added to remove poopsocking, velious does most of that by itself.

I beg to differ.

Crown of rile, ynuubs, cloak of sky, haste boots, robe of azure sky all huge still in velious. It isnt until vulak, dozekar/tormax/yelinak quest level, white dragon boots etc etc you are replacing those items.

CT items become better than ntov quality

Epics from VS still as good as ever, especially with amount of wizards wanted for ntov/KT barrier of force is invaluable to have on every wiz.

Trakanon is less useful of course though, I agree 100%.

But that doesnt say anything of the problem we have now and for the next 6 months.

only thing worth going back for would be pd but i doubt many will want to, also i doubt any other guild could do most velious content upon release....

Nothing wrong with being one expansion behind many guild are/were like that.

CT isn't revamped for months, Every TMO wizard has an epic, TMO already doesn't want to wake up for PD. You can beg to differ all you want, I have a pretty good idea of my guilds interests.

Your month progression will also prove to be very inaccurate, for very very obvious reasons.

I think I speak for most when I say that I was a kid when I played classic. I had no real responsibilities besides going to school. Most P99'ers wanna relive classic but don't have the classic amount of time to put in. That's what this server is all about right? Relive the classic experience? Why not make it easier to do so since we're adults now with other things to do.

EDIT:
And that could start with a message saying that "X mob has spawned" (previous post)

McDavril is my F&F bro for life.

Sorry, carry on.

shit's classic bros

The real fix is going to be an abundance of frog/unicorn portions, Deru. Let us not kid ourselves.

blue and red both need more 1000 charge iksar pots imo. if we were all lizards we wouldn't fight over raid targets, we'd just raid FV

This clearly isn't the issue. I am a human and Cucumbers is an Iksar and we alget along like bread and butter. No homo.
