Week 1 - Earthquake

Move Earthquake timers back or forward X hours.

Win/win/win
Sounds like you're asking volunteers to do more volunteering.

Only Rogpal can hit the earthquake button iirc. I'm sure everyone would love that kind of job.

I think Swish has a crush on me

Really though, automate two repops a month with the off weeks having normal, non classic variance to allow guulds to pick which mobs they want to put effort into.

During repops people enjoy this game. During the other 50 spawn cycles people bitch about it. The answer seems pretty evident to me

I don't know what's happening in this thread but raids start tomorrow morning and last all day.

Bring out some runners and try to get Telk, Gozz, Dozekar, Eashen, Ikatiar, Aary, and Feshlak. 5 dragons and 2 midgets all a short distance from the zone in. Anyone can try for these.

Racing wasn't the casual leaders idea. They didn't know about it until Sirken said the next Kael spawns would be races. Probably some shit A/A suggested so they'd stop killing themselves with CotH ducking.

We haven't coth ducked since before Velious. That's only something that happens when casual guilds show up. True story. AG showed up to a Sev and started Coth ducking on Asgard and Forsaken who had been sitting in EJ for 10 hours without the hint of a duck. Sounds like you know what you're talking about though.

No not directly. The casual leaders pushed for repop ideas and rotations and FOUGHT LOWER VARIANCE. It is a damn simple answer for mass repops and rotations. It is not gonna happen. Not A/A fault. It is Master of the box. AKA creators of p99.

But why don't you ask these leaders of the casual guilds in public ? Ask if they fought against lower variance and didn't support it , yet pushed for repops and rotations?
I would love to see them try and deny it. Maybe Chest because he was the only one who didn't respond to my lower variance plea and I do not know where he stood in the meeting but when the others are all screaming for repops and rotations . You get races. But if they would of not fought me and maybe read what I wrote them and how I explained exactly how lower variance would increase loot and mobs for casual guilds to exact or at the very least near their repop idea / rotation idea level. They would of been way better off.

I'm not sure who exactly you're nerdraging at here. But I'm in a "casual" guild and reducing variance was basically the #1 thing on my list of things I hoped would come from the raid summit. From nearly everyone I talked to in my guild and others it was consistently a top 3 idea that they wanted to see implemented. What I was told is that staff said it's not in the cards and they're happy with the current variance. The summit was specifically to discuss rule changes and nothing was going to change that required coding changes to the server itself (Reduce Variance/Automated Sim Repops.etc) even if the vast majority of the server agrees those kind of changes are what's really needed it's not likely to change.

Typical casuals. Always reaching ever farther with their palms outstretched.
