The problem with this list system is it removes people's ability to camp something a little bit at a time over a long period of time and eventually get one.

It forces you to stay at the camp for days in a row. I'm simply not willing to do that.

An excellent summary of the key problem with the list system.

No you didnt

dial up did not even allow anyone to spend more then 45 mins or an hour doing anything

Maybe where you live, but I was playing multiplayer games for hours on end in 1991.

It sucks, no doubting that. I think this commitment does separate top tier players from us regular players.

Think of this though, fungi camp for 7 hours, fungi drops you roll.....guy that showed up half hour before wins?!?! At least with /list if you put in time, you are guaranteed the item?

I agree, I may not have the time to do a lot of these camps either, but when or if I do decide I want the item, I have the choice of either putting in the camp time, or putting in the time to farm enough plat to get item.

Drop Rates always suck unless its a fast drop rate haha

We used to use an interesting method sometimes back in the day.

Let's say bob, mike and bill are grouping. At the beginning of their camping session they all roll 1-100.

Mike is highest
Bob second
Bill last

Now whenever any item drops, mike can burn up his spot to automatically get the item, then bob moves to the top and mike goes back to the bottom, pushing bill to second. if another player joins they go to the bottom of the list. if no one wants to burn up their automatic loot spot, the item is randomed.

As 30+ year old adults, how do you find time to sit at your PC for 50+ hrs straight.

PWNED!!!

DMN,

I think remember doing this from time to time, I personally didn't mind this unless I was the guy showing up 5 hours later haha.

It just shows there are many ways to run a camp, and I think P99 staff came up with a certain way to control a few of the ultra-rare items, and out of all the different ways this was for good or bad, at least it was decided and not left to player interpretation.

Its fair, and its the way it is..again, I'm not the biggest fan, and i have already spent some time without results, but at least when i do fully commit i will get the item.

This is where you don’t get it. People don’t HAVE to camp these items, they choose to knowing the time required. If they choose elf sim pixels over their own health, time with others, etc., that’s on them. Why are we always trying to protect people from themselves?

You’re only saying this because you’re one of the few that...

That's not even close to true, and quite the opposite.

With the streakiness of the drops, you are actually better off camping it with more cumulative hours, but spread over a greater amount of time.

e.g. if you camp at manastone, log in regularly throughout the week, play for say 4-6 hour shifts, you can eventually (statistically) get lucky where multiple will drop in the same 4-6 hour period, and you can get one.

It's the wanting to get the drop the same time / only time you /list that leads to 30+ hour camps.

Have not ever heard of anyone getting mana stone in this way on these servers
