I think this is a good point. With static spawn times, the largest guild can kill mobs week after week at times they choose and their members can log in en masse at those times, making competition very difficult, as no other guild has nearly as many members.

With variance, even the largest guild wouldn't field their full force 24/7, so there would be many chances for mass PvP with similar numbers. Coordination and mobilization would start to have more value than sheer numbers.

I would like a chance to see what effect this mechanic would have on Red99.

sim repops showed us what happens, it was great. Then they were never triggered again because Rogean refuses to automate that feature.

We leave a ton of mobs up, at all hours, i mean... variance wouldn't affect us in the slightest, we would never sit at a spawn waiting for it because we dont need to guard anything.. we would simply plan raids for after the maximum variance timer and push spawns a day, like we currently do.

I mean, we are in ToV right now, its primetime, and Statue one of the easiest mobs we kill is sitting up.

I didnt read the post but things like this make the staff not listen, rather than asking them to listen at the same time u call them incompetents u could try something else, playerbase being heard is always good ofc

If variance gets added tonight, the zerg will still have had a huge jump on any up and coming resistance. Red99 died a tragic death at the hands of pve faygates. Give it up y'all.

just say faggot faygate makes u sound like cuck

As much as I think variance would be a bad idea, the "mobs are left up" argument doesn't really hold water either. The whole idea behind variance is pretty much the opposite - you DONT know what's up.

That being said, comparing variance to simulated repops doesn't make sense either. The reason nobody minded sim pops was because it essentially added extra loot drops and didn't take any away.

At this point I just say add it for a couple weeks so it is proven once and for all it makes no difference so these threads are no longer needed.

So it took months for an uncontested Vindi to be killed but somehow ToV Dragons randomly popping will boost pvp and served health? Ok.
