VP closed to Class R guilds?

[Aadill]

VP is open to all guilds. Whatwithall the potential change in how you can move from Class C to Class R being hashed out, the only requirement for getting mobs in VP is to footrace for them, regardless of class.

Is that an actual requirement or an agreement between TMO and IB? If a guild comes to VP and disregards this policy, will a GM suspend them?

just IB and TMO's agreement with how they handle VP

not the servers rules

Exactly what part of the policy of "have a good old fashioned footrace" would you disregard?

CoTH ducking?

well for starters they dont allow bards I believe so technically a third guild could show up with their bard and just zoom by for the FTE

it prob wont get you a kill tho but would be funny as shit

Maybe it's the fact that carebearing a bunch of lazy crybabies isn't one of their priorities.

Wow the rustle is strong in this one. It's like someone took your Larrikan's Mask again...

Lazy - Yep, I'm too lazy to want to stare at a wall for 16 hours waiting on VS to spawn, sorry.
Crybabies - yea, I think the GMs, if their real goal is a competitive atmosphere that encourages progressing from R to C, then they should implement changes to facilitate that progression.

Rules that are clear to prevent poopsocking and reduce variance so that tracking is something a reasonable man would consider. Or just full respawns so it's all moot and people have the most fair of races.

That's what I'd expect, which is the only real main Class C rule over all of the other rules in FFA.

If that was true, they never would have enabled variance

Nah, you are probably just assuming everyone AFK camps stuff like TMO. I was in a full group camping the spore king on his spawn point last weekend and it was really fun - constant action. HS South is also great fun in a mid size group. You cannot seriously be comparing that to coh ducking or jav spamming or even just sitting there at the VP pad.



So you have created a bunch of artificial, non-classic timesinks, and the people who are willing to jump through those hoops are better players? I mean if variance was classic I would agree with you 100%, but it isn't. I really wish the staff would focus on making competition fun instead of making sure Class C gets sufficient pixels. There are so many things to try (huge variance but mobs shout to the zone/server when they spawn, minirepops, more repops with half the loot table on each mob, whatever). None of those are any less classic than what we have here.

Also, IIRC the new raid agreement included 3 repops per month or more? We have only been getting like 2. Thats a fairly substantial difference and everyone agrees the repops are the best part of raiding currently.

Except class C has never COTh ducked unless in response to a class r guild first, class c doesn't jav spam either. And yes I would say sitting at ps killing a ph every 6.5 mins is just as boring as sitting their doing nothing. And when that dragon spawns you bet that race is a fun adrenaline Rush.

I wasnt comparing every single camp. Just pointing out people already will camp for pixels till their brain goes numb regardless of class.
