However, think this through please. Right now every player has a place in the rotation and the raidleaders have the comfort of knowing that they can set times for thier gang to get the most participation out of it. If we, as a community, step down into the realm of "law of the jungle" again, a good bunch of people will not participate in a raidevent for months.
I have not raided in months due to the late hour they take place, it's nobody's fault it's a numbers game and the public slot is more populated late at night.
it's frustrating when I see over 100 players online at login and a raid trigger sitting there because we can't get enough players to do it because those online at the time are mostly made up off the diff guilds and it's not their trigger and I know I am not alone in feeling this way.

Be careful with what you wish for.
I do 100% and you won't hear me complain. This is the only and I mean only game I have encountered that has such an issue with raids.
You can choose to either play the game and enjoy all the aspects of it as intended (being adult about it) or you can camp and keep shooting the trigger so nobody else can get it but eventually you would have collected all the loot it has to offer and get bored. (being a spoilt child)
Either way there is nothing in any of the raids that make or break this game and you can still kill everything even if you just used vendor equipment, it just takes a little longer. That is what makes this game so great and above all the other morphs that requires real cash to be parted in order to improve yr toon, that seems to be the way these days.
Don't take it personally and I have no issue at all with VGE or any of the guilds in game this is just my opinion on the rotation issue.

What official rules were broken here?
As long as they are capable of taking down the trigger/raid successfully then they are entitled to shoot it.

You are correct but currently not at the moment due to the migration.

Would be an honor to have you

Hi,
I switched the forums over to the new dark theme and I love it but I have noticed a small problem with using it.
If you try using the search function on the top right, you can not see your text in the little box, perhaps this can be switched to a white background on that feature?
Not a complaint just and observation and suggestion, I can make do with it as it is.
Regards

I just spent 2 days trying to gather interest for help with a raid, as I like to battle with others and enjoy the camaraderie it brings with it but nobody was interested, in the end I just multiboxed it with a couple of guildies. This is exactly why people end up making a stack of alts. I guess just standing in OMP or F7 chatting is way more interesting these days.

Hey Cimbad,
I hope you get well soon and buddy you have definitely NOT let anyone down, we are your pals after all

Take care and smile often and seeya in game.

Thank you woodstock for your reply I didn't realise you could do it also, I will keep it in mind and have informed others that you can do the PRs when you are available and the interest is there with everyone.
Kindest Regards

Hi all,
Would it be possible to do these more often and at a regular time slot?
I understand this is Blacklungs playground and he is a busy man and cannot commit his own time to a regular slot himself but could it be possible for other people to be able to open the gate and trigger the raids?
The reason I ask is because with the current rotation as it stands two of the raids in the game are pretty much impossible for people to attend outside of the USA timezone, the DT and RD base raids are long raids and by the time people organise, do the raid and lotto the loot it's usually about 3 hours that has flown by lol.
Due to the amount of players in the game that are in the USA time zone those raids are usually done around midnight my time zone or 1am when they are home from work teatime their time, leaving the possibility for the rest of us to attend and raid pretty much zero because many of us have to get up for work etc 3 hours or so later after the raid is due to finish, personally I have not been able to do the RD base for over 9 months or more now and have done a DT raid once in 6 months.
This is NOT a complaint as I know nothing can be done about when those raids are started because it's simply down to when there are enough eligible online at the time but at least with the PRS raids everyone regardless of guild tag can join making it a lot easier to find the 12 or more people needed and will mean more chances of obtaining the gear from those raids for the rest of us who cannot stay up so late/early depends on the time, this is merely a suggestion of something to perhaps that can be considered.
Fly safe Regards

As a Progen I loved the /craft feature for my ammo building and will miss it :(, it always worked as it should for me personally but then again I never went looking for bugs or exploits with it.
I hope it will get any kinks ironed out and placed back in the game but if not oh well thanks for at least trying to help out the player base and a shame a few have inconvenienced the many long term, for a short term personal gain.
Fly safe and kill with honour

I agree pretty much with everything Flip has posted.
If you are the FIRST to open said hulk it's yours, it can't be taken from you and regardless of how many people sit there it's still down to being lucky enough to be at the right spot or the fastest. The item people are after spawns at different points so you can't camp a single point at the nav.
I think they should be left alone after all whats the point of the game really if you get everything handed to you on a whim and there is not much of a feeling of reward once you do obtain it, yes it's popular and yes it may take some effort but if you put in the work the reward tastes all the more sweeter :D
just my thoughts on it all.

You could always ask anyone that's already at the spawn if they wanted to join forces and lotto the drop. I have done this myself and have not had any issues with a team effort.
Just another suggestion put out here for anyone that is struggling to loot an item due to it being popular/camped.
Fly safe and kill often

Well from this post this is what I have gleaned from it.
There are no hard and fast rules about raid triggers FACT, So my personal standing on this is I WILL be joining anyone asking in General chat for people to form a raid group regardless of what guild they are in (anyone can attend ) and as long as mutliboxing is not involved as I feel with over 100 + people logged in to multi box is just being greedy and it's just not an option.
The triggers are for ALL out here as long as you can finish the raid and should this be otherwise I am sure dev will come knocking at my door.
I don't believe my thoughts about this will create chaos on the server as it still will require at least 12 other players to feel the same before any trigger gets taken down.
It's out here for everyone to read and see my position on the subject and TBH I don't think there will be many if any at all triggers taken down outside of the rotation but here it is.
Fly safe all and have merry xmas to all :D

That's fine I originally feared the post would eventually lose the point of the original topic and the raid rotation etc would be dragged into it. Can the thread be locked now as there is nothing more to be added.
-
Hi Holyman,
Again thank you for your post and again as I suspected it's a little off topic of my post.
The raid rotation has no place here, there is a post about rotation discussions in another thread as well you know because you are an active poster there and to be honest I am in pretty much in full agreement with the comments you have posted on the subject so far.
I am also fully aware the Devs have stated they are not going to get involved in the rotation discussion and it's up to us the players to be adult enough to sort that problem out ourselves and again I respect that decision but that is not what I am asking from them.
I whoever don't believe for a moment all hell will break loose just because there has been a published set of rules about it and it might not reflect in favor of those people that feel the rules didn't fit in with the majority way of thinking.
There was a post from a person that shall remain nameless for taking a trigger down and finishing the raid and he posted that he was vilified and received abuse for playing by the rules as he read them, my question is was the server wrong for vilifying him and giving him grief or were we in fact wrong and he was actually in the right? one trigger going down does not constitute chaos.
Lets loose the scaremongering once and for all, the facts are it's dam hard to gather people for a raid I have tried during various times of the day and seen numerous people trying to gather groups for FB etc in general chat to either give up in the end due to lack of interest or it takes ages. So I don't believe for one moment there's going to be a rogue group of 12 people sitting on here round the clock taking triggers just for the hell of it day in and day out and where would it get them? No friends fast if you ask me and most people I have met in game are friendly and wouldn't dream of doing that anyway.
Cimbad can feel free not to ask the question for me just as as much as the devs can feel free not to really give a definitive answer but to say the devs are going to be placed in an impossible position and will be unfair is a huge assumption you are making on their behalf.
I don't see any other game anywhere where rules are an awkward problem, they are set and what you do within those rules will be entirely up to the players as long as the core rules are not broken.
How is asking for a clarity on raid triggers any different to asking for clarity about the rules on harassment? bottom line is nothing unless you make it into something else.
So back to the topic of this post. Just what are the official core rules of the game regarding triggers?
-
That sir right there is the very reason for my post.
I have heard that the rotation is just an agreement with players and NOT part of the TOS so should a group of people take down a trigger for example and complete the raid, they will NOT incur any ban or deletion of toons via the devs as they have played within the said rules, Where you on the other hand believe the rotation IS Part of the rules and doing the above mentioned example would be in breach of the rules and incur a ban or deletion of toon by the Devs.
I am not saying either of us is correct or incorrect I am just asking for Cimbad ( In his role of advocate to the devs as I believe to ask our questions for us is what the role entails) to clarify it for the benefit of me and anyone else that might want to know crystal clearly what's allowed and what is not OFFICIALLY.
I am not going to suddenly run around shooting triggers or upsetting any rotation if that's what anyone is reading into this I just want the official current line. Just because something is popular or the done thing doesn't make it an official game rule until the Devs say it is.
Again I thank you for your input and again I am not saying your wrong but I will wait on the reply from Cimbad now before posting again to avoid this post losing track of the topic.
Have a fantastic xmas Giovani the big fella comes tonight to drop a skull shield in my hold ready for me to log in with a little bit of luck lol :D
-
Thank you for the reply Giovani,
That post is over year old and covered triggering a raid and leaving it, that's not what I was asking for and as for the statement of "As for any possible repercussions/punishments for the offense of messing with said triggers, you could always mess with one (at your own peril of course) and get back to us. ;)" I would take it as my own peril via the Devs wrath because anything coming from the player base would be deemed as harassment and in breach of the TOS under rule 4. You may not harass, threaten, or otherwise show
belligerent behavior towards other players.Upon which I hope will be dealt with accordingly by the Devs ;)
I am not here to start any arguments with anyone but to get the facts of the official standing/rules pure and simple as they stand now.
-
Hey Cimbad,
Would you mind getting the current up to date rules/standing from the devs regarding Raid triggers, I am not talking about what has been heard or other peoples personal views on the matter or even raid rotations or agreements but the official game rules of play for this Emu without worrying about having your toon deleted or banned for breaching them for me please or perhaps these could be pinned somewhere for anyone to see should there be any disagreements and we can all see clearly just what is allowed and what is not, in short I would like to know what the bottom line is, as that's what really counts at the end of the day when all is said and done.
Regards Pestilennce.

If that fails try a complete reinstall good luck and hope to see you back with us all soon :D

I can see where you are coming from Gunney about the poll but IMOP I don't think it will end any discussions.
I hope this topic keeps being discussed either in this thread or new threads to come and any ongoing arrangements constantly reviewed in case somebody has a better idea to improve it.
You asked
Then why do these 3 guilds have raids reserved for themselves to do at their leisure? ( I guess at the time of the agreement they were the top 3 guilds)
Is it their size? ( perhaps then but what about now? )
Their Right? ( Def not and I never signed up to or agreed upon them having this slot unchallenged for the entire life of the game )
Or their inability to play well with others? ( No idea ask them )
I am still not calling them the big 3
Everything changes and evolves be it the game, player numbers and guilds therefore so should any arrangements etc this rotation has been the same for 3 years and I think it's about time it was looked at again, there have been some great suggestions put forward lets give each one some consideration before we go down the old pair of comfy slippers routine and stagnate.
I have pretty much said everything I have wanted to say now on my thoughts without the risk of going in circles and losing track of the topic so I will shut up lol and let others voice their thoughts and see where the thread takes everybody.
Just a couple more things just to clarify to everyone, I have nothing at all against any of the three guilds that have a slot at the moment I have had plenty of help from players from all those guilds, I just think things have changed a lot since the rotation was started and it's time for it to be looked at to see if there is another possibly better answer now.
My suggestion is make the raids closer to live and require a lot more groups to complete them hence getting rid of the need for any rotation as no one guild will have enough people to do them and all guilds will have the chance to attend. Just like BL has at the PRS raids leave yr guild tags at the door and work together.
Let's kill stuff with lvl 2 crossbows whoop whoop whoop :D

Not for me there wasn't. I stopped playing because I was tired of watching triggers just sit there floating around and not being able to raid unless I was prepared to sit up until 1am. How can a game seriously hope to maintain player's from the UK & surrounding timezones. Yes plenty start playing but after a while they all stop for that very reason.
Is the rotation needed? Def not or it would exist in other online game's and it doesn't, they all cope just fine go figure. It never existed in live and when all is said and done, here we all are trying to enjoy a game that was taken offline years ago, so we weren't deterred by the camping etc.
Bottom line is everything posted on this topic is a mute point as nothing will ever change right up to the point they turn the lights off.
This game in my experience has the best in game player base I have come across ( nothing was too much trouble when it came to help etc) but by far the worst system in game. Wall meet head and start banging when ready lol.
