Postpone Green launch?

Said no successful game launch ever. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Said neckbeards would find out within like 5 minutes of launch due to monitoring the forums and their guild's Discord. They'd leave work and take all that time off immediately anyway.

Isn't not having work at all kind of a prerequisite for most neckbearding ?

The 80% rule is in effect in some non newbie yard zones, at least Qeynos Hills (maybe that is intended) Can anybody confirm other zones further out than GFay, steamfont, FP, etc. etc.

There could be some odd ramifications if its server wide to be honest.

I just watched a dude in qeynos hills on the beta sit at the rabid wolf spawn which is 80 seconds instead of 6 min 40 seconds like on live and not only fill his bags and turn in, but come back and just take the mob back from the next person in line (who cares its beta) Maybe frowned upon, I don't know the camp rules in outdoor zones.

But you're looking at just 1 little spawn with a 80 second spawn time that can net you 90pp an hour at lvl 5. I am sure there are other similar spawns in other zones. Perhaps just a byproduct of having increased spawn times which I suppose are a necessity. Bandit sisters at 80 seconds also comes to mind, you'd be very rich, very fast relative to your level needed to obtain said platinum.

There will be no fewer than 20 people (i would be suprised if only 20) zerging this spawn at launch. No one will respect your "camp" on a level 3 mob in the newbie yard worth 2 plat.

Most kills will go to players who group up for it. A group of 6 splitting 2p every 85 seconds is not that OP, and that assumes the same group gets it every time.

I am staying as far away from that dumpster fire as I can. Find a different way to make plat.

I think this would have the opposite effect. The non-neckbeards would have no chance to reschedule their priorities.

I'm for keeping launch as scheduled as long as there aren't any game breaking or progression issues for any classes. Hey, the next green in a few years might be a completely different beast.

And to confirm a previous reply, the "says" for non-melee lasted until at least the initial planes:

Neckbeards are more able to drop everything with no notice which gives them a huge leg up. Non-neckbeards like me and my friends have busy schedules and need advance notice to take time off.
