Some variance ideas

[Skope]

variance is P99-created and an artificial time sink - not to mention it hasn't worked once, but that's a story for another day.

And I'll be surprised as hell if you are a day over 12.

arguing with me doesn't make you cool bro. If i was 12, youd have been banned a long time ago. looks like your just trying to get your 15 minutes

I will say Sirken's tolerance of your constant insults is bordering on saintly, Skope. I think we violently disagree with his vision of the server but that is no reason not to be polite.

Why are you ignoring his posts then? I don't find that to be polite either.

Take a gander at his idiocy in this very thread:

/sigh

the fact that you see it this way makes me want to tear out my eye balls and beat some sense into you with them (yes, i said i wanted to beat sense into you with my eyeballs). ANY guild has a shot at ANY mob with the current system. i'm not going to sit here and give out strats to people that arent clever enough to figure out what they need to do.

but i 100% guarantee you that if i led a guild of 20-30 total members (not total online), ANY GUILD, i would get a couple traks every month, a couple VS, a couple of anything we wanted. ONLY BECAUSE of the way the current system works.

but without variance and FTE, we'd be fucked. and we'd get nothing.

sorry i didnt play on a lame ass rotation server.

If he wants a serious response then he should consider making serious replies. Instead, you get condescending idiotic replies and red herrings.

Here's another one:

Kudos. Good luck getting people to respect you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Because Sirken was probably one of those hardcore's that dropped everything he was doing to be on EQ and raid and laugh at other guilds when they couldnt get any loot. That is my impression of Sirken from his constant snarky responses about any kind of Rotation. Sirken i'm sorry you played on a lame ass server where people couldnt get along and act as adults when it came to everyone having a chance at the pie. Much like it is here.

I have not seen one post hinting that people just want free stuff, all we want is a level playing field.

and to say if we really wanted it wed put the time in is nonsense, YOU(the devs/gm's/man in charge) increased the time required for these encounters. Almost all of us(I think) want is that you bring the bar back down to where it was so that we can at least try and compete.

It's to bad that p99 raiding REQUIRES that your face be able to log in at a moments notice regardless of day/time. 3am? sorry no sleep for you gotta do trak, you have a wedding tomorrow? I hope VS spawns before then or your going to be single on monday...

Just because some people want 30 mins to an hour to actually get their raid organized to kill a mob? I dont see this as feeling entitled. You act like there are only 2 guilds that are capable of killing trak or VS on this server. If your counting within 5 mins of one of these mobs spawning sure but i would be willing to wager there are 6-8 guilds on this server that if they had alittle bit of time to actually get organized could take out the targets.

and knowing when the mob is due, as they should per classic rules, they would have that chance.

but apparently anything under a 30 hour wait is just having it handed to them...

I don't know how people can realistically expect p99 to perfectly emulate the experience they had on live - as perfect as it could get now, it still wouldn't be the same. Tell Rogean and Nilbog to open another dozen servers, recruit about 100,000 more casual clueless players, DDoS Allakhazam and EQAtlas and take down the wiki, and brainwash every Everquest player ever, and then we might be a little closer to replicating the experience you remember.

As if the fact that this diverse collection of players is crammed into a single server isn't enough - add to that the extremely extended timeline and relative ease with which people can inform themselves of all content-related knowledge - and I think you have a recipe for drama. It's like you went to a Journey concert last night and decided to bitch about the fact that Steve Perry wasn't singing, knowing full-well the whole while what you were getting yourself into.

If the sign advertised Steve Perry will sing at this concert, though it may be +/-48 hours of when the concert takes place.

P99 was supposed to emulate classic eq, the variance is the complete opposite of that. I know something needed to be done, but why not limit the amount of guilds that can form on the server to 2. Its practically the same and its just as unclassic as variance
