Reduced lockout timers

Thank you DBG for finally recognising the monopoly that Faceless has on raid mobs, and leveling the playing field by giving us double the chances to do raids and get loot. Realistically, we don't have the resources to build or manage a guild the size of their size, the leadership to maintain it, or desire to make a loot system similar to theirs, so thank you for catering to our special needs.

I don't think the holiday bonus events were designed with Agnarr's raid scene in mind.

Though I also don't think this was a serious post and more of a tongue-in-cheek remark.

Fixed.

I would agree with your fix, except that, somehow, even "casuals" are now raiding twice as much.

The end result of that chain of logic is that we neither want to contest OW mobs, nor do we want to lead or be part of large guilds. Yes, I know the forum trolls and their sock-puppets will come out of the woodwork for this one.

As for motivations, I'm sure it's not all about Agnarr, or even TLPs, but it definitely helps that Velious has a ton of stuff to do, and effectively 10 weeks or less to do it in (factoring in two major holiday weeks).

If only Agnarr had instanced raiding... then guilds might have a chance to get some loots.

We do, and we raid twice as much now.

I know this, but the OP makes it seem like there are no raiding opportunities thanks to Faceless, on a server with instanced raiding lol. It makes me appreciate raiding on Ragefire even more.

Not really thrilled. The raid schedule was already 4 nights/week, now its gonna be 7 probably until this madness ends.

OP is troll, trust Ogre. Can still see frog legs hang from OP mouth.

With reduced lockouts you might play a few more hours a week but can still do it scheduled. Don't have to sit at ntov or Kael ent 24 hours a day or answer a 4am bat call. OP is a troll, had to mess with him. Reduced timers just means faceless can do what everyone else is doing and open world as usual, still not a level playing field. Stay classy.

Well, Velious has a lot of content to start with. Doing all that twice, plus open world sounds...tiring.

I'm pretty sure Phinigel's equivalent guild had to cut back a bit mid velious to avoid burning out their players.

Many players burned once the trigger mob got MotM and respawn was ~3 days or whatever.. NToV is no joke.
