Holly Longdale quote from DBG - Page 2

Imagine 4000 ppl on a server all wanting a naggy kill.

How you gonna fix that mess? You aren't.

Should 3800 casuals get equal chances at naggy, vs 200 hardcore raiders? Holly could have worded her response better. But the real problem is much bigger.

You have like 4 servers worth of players. You added zone instances so there are plenty of non-raid loot. And now its a mess with so few mobs to raid.

You also have so much non classic built in mechanics like OP mage pets that "raid content" isn't really raid content is doesn't pose any more challenge then any of the other shit you ran through to 50

I think they'll only care if they lose a big chunk of subs.

Casuals shouldn’t be allowed to fight Nagafen… that diminishes the achievement of others. That’s part of the challenge: You have to be better than the other guy; you have to be more strategic that the other guy.”

On a server of mage box teams spamming pets at raid targets. The derpest quote I've ever read from a game dev

If they had FTE rules, this would make sense. I am not sure what strategy is involved with their KS inviting rules.

Fte isnt gonna matter if guilds can just lock everyone else out of the zone by filling it with boxes.

Some serious competition going on over the lolz

The funniest part of it is they have decided to move up the Kunark vote to 3 months on Ragefire, but not on Lockjaw - even though both servers had a majority vote to move up the date.

I thought majority on both said no to moving up the date.

From the post by Holly:

Quote:

When combining the 3-month and ASAP option, though, a slight majority of players on both servers voted for Kunark to come sooner than it would under the original rules.

**Haynar** · #9 07-01-2015, 11:52 AM

Thats after you remove the majority that voted 6 mos on both servers.

The majority of everyone in the minority, were for 3 mos.

Both servers voted 6 months.
2nd on one server was now. Other server 2nd was 3 months.

Translation. They manipulated the polls to justify what they wanted to do.

Without instanced and time locked raid mobs, then both servers will just decline til another fippy and vulak.

Who's running the show over there? I'd be quite red faced if I were them.
