Raid Rules / FAQ

[Xadion]

glad most rules have been clarified, I see nothing that is really new, just clarified (training non raid target) the only real change is no more first 15 claim, and that's cool...but FTE socks will still happen I am sure lol.

Thanks for taking the time Sirken.

Would love to see all patches trigger full repop!

[Llabak]

Any chance of simulated patch days with full respawns? Those full respawn days are gobs of fun.

[fullmetalcoxman]

He said earlier that he wanted patches to reset all the respawn timers to zero, although why that should be the case I have no idea. If not full respawns, it should at least reset the timer to where it was before the patch.

[Frieza_Prexus]

If we have simulated patch days, a real patch might provide too many repops. Having a real patch reset the timers would off-set the simulated patches, while providing a net increase in raid targets.

Thanks for the rules clarification Sirken!

One question I have though, is, what are the rules pertaining to perceived kiting? I.E. Guild A pulls RaidNPC, Guild B feels as if it is not a straight pull so they decide to take the pull.

This has been ongoing behavior that has seen no repercussions except in one recent instance, but all further instances that followed that one have gone unenforced.

As far as I am aware, this is unacceptable behavior. (aka Two wrongs don't make a right - as you mentioned). Even if a guild is kiting, would it not be best to just catch the kite on fraps for GM review rather than allow pull stealing?

A clear statement regarding this behavior would be appreciated. Thanks

[Eccezan]

Given that the kiting rule has been overruled with this new GM change I have a couple questions about some recent rule changes.

1) Using Eye of Zomm wall glitch to zone in to target / train zone in? Is this still illegal?

2) Regarding VP raiding: Is using ledge in the picture room to fight dragons still illegal? Currently guilds are not allowed to position a dragon on the ledge in the picture room and fight him there due to vague "pathing exploits." Given the change in GM's, and the changes to the AE in zone (now outdoor zone, walls do not block AE), the ledge no longer offers any strategic PVE advantage during the actual fight encounter. Are we allowed to position dragons there to fight now?

Zeroing the timers means they would all spawn on a server restart. O.o

If Lord Nagafen has 45000 seconds till he would spawn, changing it to 0 would mean he spawns immediately.

Every classic live patch respawned npcs. This has been discussed at length on the forums. I agree with this and given the option, I like classic solutions.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. Thanks for the explanation. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

patch question people - i dont have much info about the patch respawn stuff. this is more for raid guild interaction so that the staff members dont have to babysit.


Eccezan - 1) yes still illegal. 2) also still illegal. ill talk to Nilbog and Rogean about it though, and if they feel it should be changed, we will change it.
