    17.2 Extent of Pandemonium Changes

    I'm incredibly thrilled by the changes to the Beast timer. Is there any chance that the timers on Zodiacs are going to be reduced at the same time to 3 or 4 hour spawns? From another post, it sounds like the testing time is for the entire zone any time a change happens to a mob, so I'm hoping for a simultaneous fix.

    yeah, after hearing reports of 116 people going to Zods (not Beast) yesterday ... just ... OUCH!
    Theonara: "...but if I weren't married, some days I'd offer to kiss you. You just make too much sense. "
    Maeventura: "Sigh, once again I can but only bow for hyde's wisdom."

    ...."Social" keys, lightbars, wen-wens......Better tabbing!

    ... First Troxdoc with QL300 symbs (AO 17.0 pre-Albtraum guide) ... as well as first with 12 of 13 Alpha symbs.
    ... First TL1 Clanner with Omni-Armed Forces armor (pics) (pointless yet hawt)

    20 mins? ffa? That would result in mass camping on a scale that would be horrific. You'd get big orgs camping out a zod spot forever, squeezing out small org and pickups.

    It would be great for a small subset of the playerbase the vast majoirty of us would get a raid group up only to find the spot camped by zod specialists who will let you loot for a price. It wouldn't be anarchic it would just be stupid flamebait.

    I have only one big problem with the system as it is, so I'm just fine

    Reduced timer to 3-4 hours on regular zods might be nice...of course if certain zods actually dropped stuff that people wanted instead of dropping thier less desired loot when they show up 5 times in a row a lot of people would vanish and it wouldn't be necessary.
    Sometimes, you just have to charge in with both hands blazing and hope they drop before you do.

    I won't join your org, but I may join your cause...for a price
    .

    All must bow before receiving my blessings

    please make the beast timer fit to the zodiacs now its 6 to 18 witch means every 3 raid you can kil beast with 9 on beast you have to do one raid without the zodiacs witch will populate pande even more its boring if you have to raid pande one extra time.

    I think they should be reduced to 4.5 hrs, so people wouldn't do this:

    0:00 - Zods And Beast
    6:00 - Zods
    9:00 - Beast
    12:00 - Zods
    18:00 - Zods And Beast
    and etc

    Would be simply better if:
    0:00 - Zods And Beast
    4:30 - Zods
    9:00 - Zods And Beast
    and etc

    Just less time required for players, not that big increased spawnrate.

    Sil, any information on this? Confirmation? Denial? Equivocation?

  11. #11
    Please Sil, any feedback on this from the Devs? I know it would need to be addressed early in the 17.1 cycle in order to make it into 17.2 because of the time delay for world design changes. Beast raids have been the most insane with 150+ person raids, but Zods raids are still 100+ often and getting worse every week.

    It's so depressing that flames and sarcastic comments get more responses than honest questions and constructive discussion.

    New poll question: Has the Pre-update archive and general chat forum replaced the Game Suggestions forum as the new /dev/null of the forums?
