Being realistic about getting Jboots?

The lack of forethought here is just mind boggling and doesn't mirror the classic experience p99 prides itself on because the spawn never operated in this fashion during launch-velious era on live.

I'll concede that the spawn event of yore was in need of a rewrite, but the rewrite that was implemented is just beyond awful.

Explain how you think the ancient cyclops worked on live.

Yes, I believe you're correct, which is part of my gripe. Why this spawn was rewritten in this fashion is beyond me.

I like the randomness of the SRo AC spawn location, I just wish it popped more often.

Then again, if it popped every night people would constantly park in SRo.

Guess it's working as well as it could be all things considered.

I almost responded to this, but I figured someone else who knew the camp better would lay down the smack. Didn't expect it to be Nilbog [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

with the whole line up asepct of it, my advice is to just ignore a LIST and go off how many people are in the vacinity of the camp, most of the time there could be 6 people on the list and only 2 people there waiting, and within a matter of minutes if the people who arent on the list dont show up it can go from 6 to 3.

In regards to your best option? Camping it in OOT is the best option, it will take too long to pharm plat at your level...

Nilbog still rustled from getting waxed by PoD (thanks Fansy)

Didn't the EQ live Devs post a detailed outline of how the AC spawn originally worked in SRO? I remember reading it somewhere

[Jimjam]

yes, when Ro was revamped a dev leaked the original AC mechanics, which were copypasted into p99.

Going to pass. I've already said what I dislike about the rewrite. The spawn is what it is.

What it isn't, is a big enough deal to me to get into it with staff and jeopardize my ability to play on a newfound server I enjoy immensely--particularly when it's over a couple salty posts I made because I missed an AC.

Gonna bow out now and get back to leveling, see y'all in game--and yes, Hasten is up. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
