Raid Changes

I think 10 minutes is a good amount of time for resets. Casters can gate out, but melees would be left stranded, especially leveling melees during a zone repop. High level characters/melees are expected to have an OT hammer or WC hat, but you can't expect a L30 melee in a group in the bottom of LGuk to be able to walk himself out because the casters gated.

Anyone else see the future on this one? Each and every day they do a reset on the server there will be a thread in here of a casual player complaining because they couldn't play much and get one group all week long and this just happened to be the time the server was taken down and wrecked their group?

I don't think they are actually taking the server down, they are just popping everything. It simulates the server coming down.

I think most of the time when servers were coming down it was ~5 minute warning. 10 is a nice amount though, especially for melees who will have a harder time finding a safe spot in a short amount of time.

I'm in favor of instant repops, just because it would allow for a greater number of guilds to attempt targets. If the spawns are staggered, it makes it easier for one guild to get all of them.

Just pointing out the obvious, this is a flaw in EQ design. There is a reason I like PvE servers. I just don't like competing against other players that are a lot better or have more time on their hands. So I just give up and let them have their pixels, I'll go find some other pixels to play with.

Perhaps there could be a compromise with no VP trains for 2 hours during simulated resets.

I do find it a bit amusing that so many people are talking about how great it is to train in VP. The attitudes were a bit different when VD was doing it last spring.

That is because we as a group are not logicians and philosophers, but instead greedy backstabbing rumor mongers at heart. Our realm is not Platonism, but bitterness and recrimination. (Read: lolololololzzz)

VD wasn't training, they were abusing a bug that CSR turned a blind eye to. Amazing how abusing a quest or pathing can get you perma banned, but using a bug to fully heal a target is okay.

If people were able to go around and fully heal normal mobs, you can bet your ass that they would have banned people for it. However, considering GMs/Guides like to do whatever they want for their own personal reasons, you get stuff like that on the regular here.

Sometimes they'd respawn and sometimes not... I forget what the condition to it was. Can't give you 100% on that but it has a real yessy aftertaste.
