Rename Vaniki to the ZERG server please

Discussion in 'Time Locked Progression Servers' started by Dirkman, Apr 7, 2022.

    Vaniki level locks are really just dumb. All this promotes is for extremely large guilds (it will end up being one guild) to bring 500 level 40 players to try and kill open world mobs. No one will be able to kill DZ mobs because of this.

    Remove ALL Open World raid mobs, then maybe its a challenge instead of dumb server crashing zerg. Basically no reason to play on this server unless you are one of the 500 man zerg.

    Bruh, it's starting in GOD. Almost everything worthwhile is an instanced raid target. Nobody is going to care about many OW targets that are available. The only exceptions would be EPs to get some quick, easier gear to make a GoD push.

    Or people can challenge themselves. I'm personally interested in seeing what people can do, be awesome to see how far people will progress at 40/50 etc in DZ's. Plus at least it's not classic to velious treadmill that happens. Can't do that to myself again!

    Spoiler alert, they wont. You cant do Tormax with 72 level 40s... but you can with 500 bound in the zone.

    Honestly glad they are offering a LLP server alongside a normal one. Now we'll see if LLP has the interest a few vocal proponents on this forum suggest it does when paired alongside the 'real deal'. In a few month's time we won't be merely speculating anymore.

    NToV will be a 6 hour slog with 72 55s.

    Months of wader farming would be amusing.

    Gates won't be completed until RoF is released and maybe not even then.

    Can't with that attitude for sure!

    Maybe not, but being able to land spells on mobs much higher level than you opens up possibilities. Don't think anyone is expecting Tacvi to fall to level 40's or anything however

    Watch all the proponents of "I want a harder server" run for the hills to cry when one actually happens.

    Forcing people to zerg open word isnt harder just dumber.

    If they really want it to be a challenge they need to remove all OW raid mobs. Force people into DZs where they are limited to the number of people allowed in the DZ.

    Open world?

    Are you saying that with a straight face?
  11. brickz Augur

    I don't think most of them actually want *hard* content, they want *time consuming* content so they can get better gear and lord it over/sell to people who have jobs and can't be arsed
  12. Xeris Augur


    I mean.... 1 guild on the server will zerg all the OW content. Every other guild who can't kill anything in OW will have to do it in DZs. There are going to be plenty of opportunities for people who want to embrace the challenge of trying to kill Nagafen with a raid of lvl 40 players, and so on.

    Why would they? They could just go into any GOD zone (if any let level 40s) and get far far better loot off any random named.
  14. Ecko Elder

    For the achievement, even if it's just titles i bet people would do it. Wonder if they'll do illusions or something too, that'd be fun
  15. PatCleric Healer of Aradune

    I wonder if they will just not put Mitigation on any bosses.
  16. Kahna Augur


    Currently Mitigation is based on what expansion is open. Classic drops off when GoD is open.
  17. Baulkin Augur

    More like the community trash compactor. There will be multiple zergs.
  18. Dirkman Journeyman

    Only room for one zerg on the server like this. The zerg must consume all players if they want to down stuff at level 40.

    Leeroy. The hero we need, not the hero we deserve.
  20. Hirbow Augur

    ..and how do you cover all OW content in 4-5 expansions with 1 zerg guild is impossible. This server has a lot of potential, specially for people that think out of the box.
