Critical Suggestions for Raid Rules

[PhelanKA]

I like the FFA PVP idea. Might even get some /guildwars outta it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I like the full variance idea.

My idea is making camping illegal (SS of camping results in warning/suspension) but 15 still claims once a boss is spawned.

Pure FFA's problem is that multiple guilds would camp without a claim, and then who knows who tagged first. Headache for the GMs to clean up.

Sure, let's give them another reason to mass recruit!
Targets have been camped with as many as 40-50 from a single guild in a zone at once, 30 is an easily attainable number that doesn't address the issue.

It is not only easily attainable, it is also far more than you need for a raid. We killed Inny with 19 the other day.

I really like the following idea:

A. +/- 7 days spawn variance (with raid mobs literally having a chance to pop anytime after it has been killed, no matter how small that probability is).
B. First To Engage rule on all raid bosses. But more clarity is needed on this rule. For example there could be situations where 1 or 2 players can pull a raid boss and die, but by doing that allowing their guild to claim the first priority on kill.

the 7 days spawn variance will probably NOT abolish poopsocking completely (i believe), but it does substantially discourage poopsocking. Moreso since it's now an FTE rule. Also it does give guilds with better mobilisation an edge to killing raid bosses.

-Boss DT's everyone in the zone and full repops the zone on SPAWN.

I like this.

Fear already fully repops on a CT spawn.

Solution: do something else (tradeskills, alts, go outside) while waiting for airplane and Kunark

This is a constructive thread to add constructive ideas for a raid system to end perma camping.


I will start with some ultra radical ideas!


-remove loot from raid bosses
-make raid zones open/racial PVP
-Boss DT's everyone in the zone and full repops the zone on SPAWN.
-increase raid size definition to be 30 instead of 15.
-AFK disconnects/banish.
-increase boss spawns by number/rate
-open another server
-instanced zones that take plat to activate for guilds



If you would like to flame please create a thread in R&F. I would be interested in seeing some out of the box thinking.

None of these involve less work for us. And we as the dev staff do not support any of these suggestions.

The raid situation is a player problem, not a development problem or bug. The current ruleset is in place because folks can't act like 7 year olds and not fight over the toys.

And Darkblade, enjoy your 30 day ban for trolling. You've been warned enough. You seriously need to shut your mouth on subjects you have not a damn clue as to the workings of.
