The big issue with doing this like stormfeather is that the fight isn't obsolete solo for many classes.

"Stormfeather 2.0" seems more logical to me than a massive list (where folks get bumped back to the top if they aren't on during a pop), but there would need to be clear rules regarding timing for the turn in and kill. There would also need to be clear rules for what happens if you fail the fight.

It strikes me more like a verina tomb type of contest than a stormfeather...and VT is still brutal.

Because it's not soloable for most people (shamans could probably do it), imo it should be a roll and then everyone helps kill (like Scout). Otherwise getting a squadron together with such short notice will be tough, especially if it pops at like 3 am

There will be a lot more than Shaman's soloing him. Even a Ranger could solo him if they bring a bag full of Wort Pots for 30k HP worth of instant heals, and that's not counting the obligatory Soulfire and Reaper. That's like 15k or less and considering the rewards that's a no brainer investment. Kromzek Captain is a much stronger mob.

Ya, a list won't fly. Make it a roll, decide on the one critical detail (roll at window start, roll at mob spawn) and make it less burdensome on everyone. Easy peazy.

I resigned myself to never getting a ring or stormfeather - because I am a filthy casual and that was the way Brad designed his game.

All the people crying they want lists and stuff should just accept that unless they are willing to invest large sums of their life they don't deserve this ring.This was the way it was in 1999-2001.

Let the neckbeards feel like they deserve something for a mis-managed life.

There is a variance for the shady, the 8 minute difference between morbo and mine would have suggested the server restarts (maybe) but after today it confirms variance.

the question is how big of a variance is there. and good luck rolling that...

as for angry it should be 3day 10% as listed in 90% of the old posts i could find... but i wouldn't be surprised if its a 5day with a 16 hour variance...

If everyone had them, they wouldn't really seem all that impressive anyway, eh?
