i just look at poopsocking as people camping in a certain area waiting for their batphones to go off when a mob spawns. i was forced not to play my main character because i was in a raiding guild, i wanted to raid but also wanted to play the damn game. im guessing competition has cooled off since release of kunark

You would think so, but nope. What's amazing to me is that so many people from 2 years ago who haven't burned out are still doing this: TMO still has most of their old core,and FE has a lot of ex IB/TR in their ranks.

Hey Barthorn. You're out of luck if you want to consistently see a dragon. Committing to waking up at all hours and leaving your main character (or alt too!) at spawn points and answering the batphone faster is the only way. Though, only TMO and FE are doing this currently (as far as I know). The rest of the guilds play much more casually, occasionally get dragons, and play the damn game.

What are you talking about Susan, we know variance favors the small guilds and evens the playing field, because Sirken said so.

haven't seen a full on sock since the window extender change was put in.

I would love to know the purpose of this change. Nobody I have spoken to cares for it, regardless of guild affiliation.

I like the change because of the possible extreme scenario, but I think it's bitter that that the server is getting less mobs overall. I feel they should balance it with some sort of functionality that provides more early pops at the same time.

I'd like to clarify some misinformation that was provided with the latest patch, starting with the lack of a patch note and then an error in confirmation on my part.

Back when we were discussing changes about extending the window of a mob's spawn when it fell within the last 15%, I wrote some code to show as an example. Turns out that code ended up staying in and I had forgotten about it, and it went live with the latest compile.

So...

Patch Note: Respawn timers that fall within the last 15% of a window will now be extended by a random amount up to 24 additional hours, repeating accumlatively until the window is under 85% for total potential spawn time. This currently applies to all mobs who have any variance at all, but will be adjusted next patch to only include mobs that have a minimum base spawn of 2 days or more.

We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall destroy this nonclassic variance system whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender,

Aww. I was gonna post the video of Robin Hood Men in Tights spoofing that speech. But the video I found was blocked by Fox.
