Sleeper's Tomb

[Autotune]

Just leave it classic, I really want the sleeper to get woken up to compare p99 tears to eqmac tears.

Playing a game just to make other people angry. Pretty fucking pathetic. This server is like a magnet for these dbags.

Hmm? I don't play, but classic is classic and tears should be shed.

I would argue that it's the forums, not the server. Forums always tend to attract the... loud. And judging by his response it holds true!

Everyone wants to experience the sleeper encounter. Keep the respawn long enough to keep the "classic" feel alive, but allow people to experience it as it was. Flag accounts to only experience it once.

+1 to this.

Damnit, I didnt think about saying this until a few days after I posted here. But I do not like the idea of Kerafyrm being the servers period. And if I remember right he takes awhile to destroy every zone in Velious, can you imagine not being able to play for a few days out of EVERY month because the server is on its rag? Or a few hours every month, its been years.

Make the sleeper have random loot. And for each game day he is awake make him a little bit more kill-able. Maybe a slowly ticking debuff to hp/attack or something. The last couple of game days he is up will be the only time he will susceptible to attack because of the slow debuff. So you basically get one shot to kill him before despawn if you can time it right. Then maybe 1 month or so respawn timer.

He prolly still wouldn't be killed, but it would be awesome to have something unknown in the game. Only the devs would know exactly whats on the loot table.

"Devious Idea" has to go one step deeper to be effective, not only all Sleeper's Tomb Keys, but all ST Talismans (Sont, Lend, Yeli, Zland, Kland) that make keys get deleted as well. Otherwise people just stock pile talisman's to recreate keys immediately after waking Sleeper. It would require anyone that is willing to awaken the sleeper to have to put in effort to maintain a raid force willing to compete and kill the 5 dragons for keys.

Monthly/Bi-Monthly resets would be far too often and would lose the impact of any Awakening. However, longer resets (6-12 months) allow for a small group of miscreants to come in and awake the sleeper every reset just for the sole purpose of locking people out. Once this group has their keys, they can keep it in a perpetual state of wake-lock.

Lastly, Classic [You must be logged in to view images.

That same group of people played/still play here and have stated intention of doing the same on P99.

There has also been prior discussion in the Veeshan's Peak training/rules threads, that the same policy of allowing training may be invoked in Sleeper's Tomb and Temple of Veeshan. I certainly hope that is not the policy adopted by the staff and that it gets removed for Veeshan's Peak eventually.

monthly reset with deletion of peoples keys who wake

or

what about flagging anyone who wakes the sleeper and making them unable to ever zone back inside

Probably shouldn't put too much thought into the sleeper since griefers will ruin it for everyone anyway.
