A lot of rose coloured glasses for classic crawls. It should be a thing. But let’s not pretend it was not punishing on everyone. Voice coms would make a modern NToV crawl significantly better however.
All raids should be conducted in a single chat window, the way EQ was originally designed.

Absolutely. Nevermind how EQ was played. What we need, what we all desire in our heart of hearts, is a true and pure game with multi-boxing, using voice-chat, exploiting pathing, exploiting feign death to split pulls, and even the merest hint of deliberate griefplay all grounds for permaban on first offense. It would be glorious!

They are actually pretty fun on TAKP. With ~30 boxes it takes about 10 hours total, of which 1 hour is killing Lady Nevederia and her fucking nearly unresistable spinstun. With practice I guess ~5 hours or even less for P99 guilds, which are larger and don't have the boxing overhead. Although, a lot of the best loots on TAKP are items that were upgraded in Luclin with focus effects, like the Boots of the Dead Dream or Hand of the Master.

Oh and hi Nexii! I was totally a warm body in Awakened, so I know the drill [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Crawling around NToV felt a lot more fun and nostalgic than staring at a wall waiting for monks to exploit FD to conveyor belt bosses to the zone line. I wouldn't want to do either every single week, but I think that's the point. Tunare is a serious time commitment and no one does her every week, despite her having some BiS gear. ToV would be better off that way too, because when one guild is tired of crawling ToV for a week or two, other guilds could get a turn.

Ah who am I kidding, AM would still be in ToV for the full clear every single week, even if it took them 16 hours of nonstop raiding.

AM would probably do Doze, Eashan, and all of NTOV. The rest I wouldn't see AM doing that often. It'd be not that much reward compared to doing say Tunare in the same amount of time

Yeah, no one does Tunare regularly because there's a real chance at getting 0 loot since we're now stuck in dev purgatory between the weapons showing nerf and the loot table fix.

I don't see why we don't just treat bosses similar to camps. First group / raid that's there has claim to the boss. After 1 hour (starting from spawn of boss) or 1 wipe, whichever comes first, the raid that was next in line gets 1 hour or 1 wipe. You can only claim 1 boss at a time.

Could 1 guild out-poopsock other guilds by simply being at mobs claiming them hours and hours before anyone else? Sure. But while they're claiming that boss, they can't claim anything else, so anything that spawns while they're claiming the first is off limits for them unless they give up their claim to other bosses they're camping. A 'boss' could be anything with a FTE message.

TL;DR: p99's raid system is shit.
