New Raiding rules for ToV & Kael ... Why?

[Jaxon]

Sirken just swept all the table scraps into the trash. The good lords of the realm offered you peasants a seat at their table but you turned up your nose and now you're back in your mud cottage eating dirt cakes.

Lol Sirkens keepin things interesting around here. Instant pulls won't be a thing for most mobs. I feel this, along with the leashing change, is an attempt to nudge the community to agree to a rotation. Guilds are just gonna be cothing around ToV to kill shit again. This is gonna be fun.

Hooray no more racing and staring at the wall an lockouts.. fuck ya.

Now rustle will never get a kill, unless they go on a recruitment rampage in order to get enough bodies to have a raid force ready to log in.

The system we have right now causes more burnout actually. It requires more tracking hours and more racers than instant pulls ever did.

For those of you who are wondering, this change will definitely make the raid scene "more hardcore". Its going to waste a lot more peoples time than the footrace system because now the entire raid has to be ready to log in at a moments notice. I think the days of rapid CoTH botting are back upon us =(

Old System - Aftermath gets FTE - yay! - now we have 1 hour to casually log in characters, send batphones, dick around setting up CH chain, wait on people to arrive, send people out to get in position to train mobs around ToV, ect, ect. 1 hour is a good amount of time.

New System - During windows for mobs you want the entire raid has to basically be sitting at the login screen ready to log in within 20 seconds of the mob spawning. "Has to" because that's what A/A will turn it into. Burn out will increase, but maybe that's the point.

Finding light in the darkness - If this doesn't lead to a rotation I am not sure what will. Will Deotxx and Breaken let the filthy casual in? Or will it be 2-3 guild domination? The casual is Detoxx's most hated creature so I'd imagine the latter.

This change actually takes us back to the old system and gets rid of the new system. This is something A/A has been asking for. Why would a change that locks the casual guilds out of targets even more force A/A into a rotation?

Pulling ToV dragons to the zone in/out can take a lot more than 30 seconds... I foresee a lot of unintentional "stalling" coming into play?

CONCEDE FGTS

Instant engages were a thing before, calls of stalking only happened when the dragon started going west or back north instead of to the zone in. If you haven't ever participated sometimes it's best to just keep quiet.

Id think this was awesome if i still played

Raiding was alot more fun when it was instant. Log in, kill dragon, log out. Casual warm body heaven right here


Sucks for poopsockers tho lol

Either way, server drama = nom nom. Looking forward to see what happens with this.
