Pick Zone Changes on TLPS

    When you are on a raid...in MAIN PICK....and your internet goes out...you log back in...in a pick zone...in whatever dangerous raid area of the zone you were in previously in the main pick....with all the mobs around you all alive to kill you as you load in.



    Forcing players into pick zones and not the main on TLPs is bad.

    Players with debuffs/dots cannot /pick to the main.

    Players with previous combat timers from bosses in other zones (5 minutes) must wait for their combat timers to expire before they can /pick.


    Exmaple: We kill quarm, people have quarm debuffs. We run to Plane of fire open world for a raid boss there, we get put in picks, no one can /pick to main pick while we have quarm debuffs.

    Before removing the change and putting literally everyone in the base pick as it was before, please consider the following:
    -xp groups may want to default to pick zones
    -characters in raid formation most likely want the main zone
    -regardless, players should show up where the group/raid already is.
    -allowing one extra pick per 30 minutes or zone change may alleviate this issue.

    It won't the combat time prevents picking. Moving between raid bosses quickly across zones, or trying to move to a raid boss with any kind of debuff on you keeps you in combat / in combat timer and not able to pick.

    Our raid had issues and members of our raid showed up in a new pick while others were already in the main pick.

    So in normal groups if you log out in one pick...and log back in you are moved tot he pick witht he lowest people not the pick with your group in it.

    Please just revert the /pick changes. No one asked for this headache.

    All I seen mentioned was somebody wanting the pick threshold # upped in one zone on a TLP for whatever reason that's easy enough to get around in already....

    Then they go and break every zone pick threshold...

    Please revert, this is beyond horrible.

    I just want to say I LOVE these pick changes. Really made moving through MPG for various trials a lot easier. Much appreciated and please consider keeping them.

    I think the best answer is to always zone into the base zone unless you are doing something like a campfire or banner.

    Any other solution will have race conditions that make it unpredictable.

    Sorry I don't agree with you, it should send you to the base/pick wherever your corpse/group/raid is over any other conditions.

    They could also allow picking in combat. This wouldn't solve the level of annoying it is to getting to TLP raid mobs though if we are not put in Main by default.

    I don't see them letting you do any type of /pick while in combat unless they made it like camping out. i.e. 30s delay that is interrupted if you get hit by anything.

    The way this load balancing is working now, groups are being decimated. doesn't matter if your group leader zones in first, even in a raid some people are put in the main pick and their boxes are put into a separate pick. This is even happening in Plane of Tranquility, where we then have to wait 5 mins for our timer to reset before we can pick our boxes to where are mains are.

    This has been such a terrible change. It's splitting up raids, groups, etc etc. Extremely problematic when the succor point =/= the zone in point - forcing people to pick to other picks to even be together creates a super long lull. Additionally, leaving MPG Trials is a god damn mess. It was already pretty bad as the main pick can't support two full raids, now it's spread across multiple zones, and since everyones "distributed" to all the zones, you have a large portion of your raid who can't meet the others at the succor to clear to the next one.

    This morning was a hoot. Zoned into Qvic with my 30, spread across 5 picks. What a disaster.

    Went to leave Inkta'ta to CoTH someone to get some loots. It kicked me out to a pick - you can't zone into the DZ from a pick...

    No reason that it shouldn't put you in the same zone/pick as your existing group/raid.

    As I have said before I six box. It sucks for my guys to zone in and people be in different picks. Unlike the OP, I don't care what pick I pick into, as long as my entire group goes to the same one. For now it would be nice if it were reverted and looked at for a better solution.
