Call me crazy but i like the long camps.. it makes the reward more enjoyable to me.

Last mmo i played had a 6 month window monster.. it only spawned twice a year and not on a set timer.

Competition and camping makes the pixels valuable. If everybody could just click a zone instance and have the same gear it wouldn't be nearly as fun.


but either way.. i think there would be more drama caused with set spawns than the random spawns as it is. GM's would have every Q.Q raid /petition at once.
there is not nearly as much drama on server resets with full spawns as there is normally waiting for things to come into window. Most of the time, there is no drama/qq/petitions due to raid interference.

It immediately made me think get more people and get more organized...

Anyway...
I understand the aggravation with variance, it sucks.
Having to sit someplace and just hit track absolutely blows.

Better chance get the variance canceled and convince the guilds to do a rotation and you might be on to something.

rotation on every target will never happen. Rogean doesn't like rotations, it ruins "competition". There are other people as well that don't want rotations in every guild.

However, I can almost say anything is better than the current setup now.

Depending who you ask TMO either knew exactly when he was going to pop, or had 60 people camped out in the pit at character select ready to go in seconds though only about 35 got on in time, or Zeelot forced a spawn with a server hack.

Truth is we were all returning from an epic quest fight to camp in KC when he spawned. I like the rumors though.

Autotune, they don't care. I'd love to think otherwise, but having both Nilbog and Rogean shit down Divinity's throat, my throat and the server's throat, you start to become nauseous after a while. It's cost the server a lot of players for years now and it's still here

I'm well aware that neither really care about the population or what they want, but every now and then, some things do get changed. No harm in talking about it, worst that will happen is Rogean will show up and say "I'm always right, fuck you retards. Thread Locked".

Wouldn't be the first time. But it is hopeless, make no mistake. Nilbog doesn't care and Rogean doesn't have a great track record for making brilliant decisions, of which I can personally attest to a few. Won't change but it doesn't matter anyway. Play for fun with people you like and it'll last a lot longer. If you don't find that it's fun anymore just call it quits. Hoping that one of them will wake up after 2 years (?) now is pretty hopeless
