An effort to make the pvp server more fun for everybody

[Jib]

OH just thought of a good idea. variance would force the mobs to respawn at completely different times each time they repopped, this would make it good for euro and usa players since they have like different play times

Euro players outside of Nihilum have given up on playing in this server.

I don't think you guys get how Variance works on project1999, and think it's something that it's not. The way you guys talk about it you'd think it's some roulette wheel and it just randomly spins and picks a mob to pop. The variance starts from the time the mob dies. That means the guild that kills the mobs [which will be Nihilum on the initial pop for 13/15 of them] will have the initial timer. They will then park alts there in the window, because the majority of my guild plays EverQuest as a profession. The following week they will have the timer and you won't. The problem will only exacerbate itself as you will have no idea what the windows are any longer. The whole notion that you'll just casually raid hate and Innoruuk will pop is lol worthy.

You're operating under the assumption they're fighting for variance for any other reason besides to screw with Nihilum. They know they wont get loot, they don't care.

Every post I make on the subject I know I've just wasted part of my life. It's like I know I'm being trolled but I can't help myself.

You are just arguing the point that favors you... right now. Can you honestly say there is no strong case for variance? Depending on the windows there would be no way for Nihilum to maintain every spawn with PVP. Take a zone like VP. Also you act like timers are some kind of secret.. sorry everyone has everyones timer so that is no secret. EVER.

I agree that they will not randomly raid hate and all of a sudden they zone in and inny is up. However, them wanting to do hate and seeing 4 trackers in the zone might be a good indicator that he's going to spawn at some point in the window and your trackers would die. Then you would no longer know.

I know it's hard, but if you are going to talk about it at least be objective... I've said many times there are positives and negatives. I still do think that it would be better than the current raid situation.

It's about pvp ... there can't be less PVP than there presently has been. Simulated repops are nice, but they are just free loot, which is lame. I want to fight people who will have to be present in order to protect the spawn during it's window, from time to time we will get loot. We don't care, some of us are happy simply to have the opportunity to fight throughout the week. The current model doesn't work and hasn't worked.
