    Just a guess here but... limiting the amount of players and toons that can access DT when it goes live might be the goal atm. Otherwise its going to be a serious crash site.

    So it may be nerfed just to curb the amount of traffic. I'd suggest you store up turns in for when they are worth the exchange for the time being.

    So you have a guild that is able and willing to gain access to the rotation.  The only thing I can see is that there needs to be some discussion of what one of the big 3 will give up their spot (initially) to get you in.  After that it sure do look like a no brainer.  

     

    Be forewarned... Soon you will be labeled along the Big 3 as being evil and inflexible, and hogging all the good stuff.. 

     

    Just saying

    Not all the detail of what is happen or being discussed here have been make public. Also Static is again advocating for a method of public raids.

    Settle down and as Magoo stated earlier lets let the guild leader resolve this.

    I think it's time the non guild leaders stop posting nonsense and stupidity in this thread..

     

    How's about nobody below admiral rank can post in this thread?

     

    Agreed. ( Although I'm not an admiral!)

    Now lets see if a simple skunk understands this whole mess:

    1. In the beginning there was anarchy anyone who could raid did it as they saw fit.

    2. The big guilds got together and came to an arrangement of some sort. Which as it happened had nothing to do with the devs as they had made it clear that they will not be part of this.

    3. Another guild has gotten big enough to enter the rotation, yet due to the inherent complexity of the system they just can't walk in and claim their place in the rotation.

    4. In order to keep the peace the guilds already in the rotation need to figure out a way to fit the new guys in.

     

    So did I miss something?

    Yes. ( jk Skunky you are fairly close!)

     

    Static will make time this week to speak with EG leadership. Myself, another officer or one of the admirals will PM you or maybe just try and catch up on TS!

    Static –Troller /skip/Rd Base/GoBB
     BI  -  GoBB /Troller /Skip/Rd Base
    VGE - Rd Base/GoBB/troller/Skip
    Pubs - Skip /Rd Base/GoBB/troller

     

    I am awaiting Static and VGE's vote in our pm between us before we go ahead with this.

     

    You guys know I let VGE and Static set the rotation.

     

    Second do we start the rotations the next week if ratified. or do we pick a specific week and start then?

     

    I at the very least we will have to add another skip week to the public schedule, as im sure no one want to start with with RD Base! :o

     

    I put up Nikademus as Statics Pug raid leader.

    /accepted!

    So lets not make this about capability.

     

    Finally my overall view: If we, the current big 3, cannot flex our agreement for additional large guilds who can (and eventually will) do the raids then the agreement will dissolve to free-for all again. That Epic has shown admirable restraint in not jumping right in and doing these raids is another point in their favor. They have every right to take the next GoBB, Controller, or RD Base raid but have held off to reach a formal agreement.

     

    Just my $.02

    It is only partly about capability, its also about consistency and diplomacy. Are they capable of doing the raids, yes they can. However, if you look back at this thread and see the post where Magoo offered EG GoBB the conversation became "Fridays are no good for us" and such other things. Can they consistently take these raids down? What if Goodhumorboy can't take that day off work?

    Capability and consistency are both still valid concerns.

    As far as not jumping in on raids... You might have missed it Lann, but they have already done that. Thats a tricky move, isnt it? I mean if you jump in and take it! You win! If you jump in and get trounced then you run to the forums and say "My bad, lets move forward another way." I'll let you concluded on your own which way it went for EG.

     

    Despite any transgressions we arent here simply saying NO. We are offering up peaceful, fun solution and can provide everyone to get in on these raids and one in which Epic can put to rest any concerns other guilds might have about them. They can take part in the raids, prove themselves both capable and consistent as well as prove they can work within the confines of diplomatic agreement, and begin to work with all three guilds in this agreement, rather than just one.

     

    We all know, or at least hope, that new content is on the horizon and that it may contain another raid. I see no reason why this proposal could not be accepted and implemented until such time and when it does if Epic is proven as up to snuff I would see no reason as to why they couldnt be added.

    Static has concluded a guild vote on this matter the result of which i will not post here, but instead will by request pm to any interested involved member of VGE,BI or EG.

    We feel EG is has yet proven themselves ready for a rotation slot, but that the following proposal, should it be accepted by VGE & BI, will provide them with ample opportunity to prove otherwise.

     

     

    Static proposes we move forward with a 4 week raid rotation agreement in which the 4th week would be public raids led by representatives of VGE, BI and Static. Those selected reps can lead public raids on GoBB, Rd Base and the Controller during allotted public raid times. We would motion that those raid leaders also be designated as the credit kill and control all loot and lotto responsibilities until such time as they are no longer needed. We suggest that each guild (vge,bi,static) put forward no more or no less than 2 designated public raid leaders.

    Raid Conditions:

    - All members (including alts) of Static, BI and VGE shall be exempt from public raid winnings but are otherwise able to attend/assist the completion of the raid.

      Should more than half the raid team be comprised of above guilds this rule is to be waved at the discretion of the raid leader.

    - Public raiders are asked to be overall lvl150.

    - Be present when the raid begins for lotto consideration. (don't show up during a raid and expect to win a skull shield!)

    - Be compliant w/raid leaders instructions.

    - No player may be turned away from public raids on the basis of what guild they are or are not in, unless that player is in a guild that has been black listed from attending.

    - Assigned Raid leaders reserve the right to disallow any player from lotto consideration! Meaning: Everyone attending is expected to behave in an adult manner, and not cause any problems.

    - Griefing, harassment, disruption or any act of interference with any part of the raid schedule will result in a ban of the offending player, and if deemed necessary, problematic guilds.

    Guild leaders are asked to plz post the names of your public raid leaders and have the nominees reply with /accept

    Below is the proposed future raid schedule.

    Static –Troller /skip/Rd Base/GoBB
     BI  -  GoBB /Troller /Skip/Rd Base
    VGE - Rd Base/GoBB/troller/Skip
    Pubs - Skip /Rd Base/GoBB/troller

    If 12 random players got together and proved that they could do the raids, would they be put into the rotation if they wanted to be put in?

    Being able to do these raids uncontested is one thing, it's vastly different trying to outgun 2 teams of tricked out experienced raiders. Are your twelve ready to go when the raid spawns? Cause if they arent.. someone else will be and that in a nut shell is why the big three have this agreement.

    I'd say there are many factors not the least of which is how well you can work with other people. This is an agreement between 3 different guilds at the moment, I'd wager that all 3 would require some good faith, diplomacy and a healthy respect for one another before being given a seat at the table.

    Ok, I am not at the level to be involved in this content (Yes, I'm an Alt o Holic).  But I try to read all the forum content, and the question raised in my mind is this:

      Why do 3 other guilds get to decide whether a 4th guild can partake of game content?  I get a vote in some things, on a server level (Like who is the player - dev go between), and I can vote on some things here on the forums to make my voice heard... But when did I decide (or get a chance to), that these three guilds would be in charge of what content any guild I belong to, is allowed to do?

      Just my 2c, your mileage may vary..

    The 3 guilds in the raid rotation agreement cannot block anyone from this content. We can accept/veto a guilds entrance into the current raid agreement. It is more or less a peace treaty between the top raiding guilds. That is the matter being discussed here.

    Unlike the fishbowl and gate raids (which are device activated and can therefore be planned on and prepared for) the devs want these other raids to be competitive. I would still like to see these raids become device activated as i think it would be better for the game and its players overall.

    As long as PvP being introduced to the game does not overwhelm the channels with smack-talking adolescent member measuring I don't care if it is added or not... My biggest heartburn with PvP style games is the trash talking that goes with it.. the ego crap always turns me off...

     

    Make it so anyone involved in a PvP situation cannot use a public channel for 72 hours after they change back into a non-pvp condition? 

    You are spot on!

    The first "u mad bro?" i see on market might well break my heart! lol
