To everyone who PM'd me for details...

Well apparently they HAVE changed it since Tuesday. In fact, it's now stupid retarded. You can't avoid Druushk engaging all your statue clickers, and the adds sometimes run off to the statue clickers and kill them.

This just seems like a silly encounter to me. Nexona is a fun fight, but Druushk currently is stupid and aggravating. It doesn't even feel like you're winning against insurmountable odds or anything... it just feels annoying.

Let me just see if I am getting this straight.

We have the clickie syndrome where shinies pop around the zone forcing people to run around harvesting them instead of doing more traditional raid roles (dps, healing etc). Effectively forcing them out of the fight.

We have the adds angle covered as well.

We have rooted mobs aka the 5 statues around the place that have to be killed.

And we have a named that actually punishes you for doing high dps (ie exceling at what a raid should excel at - killing stuff).

Add on top of this a "you got it wrong" zone wide raid wiping AOE just for kicks.

Now on top of this I presume certain effects like AOE's are tied into such things as the statues still being up, shinies not harvested in a certain time or the add not killed quickly enough.

Sounds like a lot of places a script like this could bug out, as well as a lot for new to VP raid guilds to deal with.

I also understand the need for raid challenges to be exactly that, challenging. And this includes challenging for the very top end raid guilds as well.

But I think history has shown us that tailoring raid content to be beaten only these select few leads to so many calls to nerf content that SOE yields and usually goes too far the other way and returns it to the "loot pinyata" model nobody likes.

Surely we can find a happy medium that doesn't require people doing nothing, or clicking item away from raid. A method of scripting must exist that can keep everyone active and entertained while maintaining a level of difficulty most like. And not overly complicated so that bugs can occur like the statue clicker killer adds warping underground.

And for the record my guild is in VP, and slowly relearning the Nexona script. We have no issues with that. Just ios it a bit over the top for where it occurs in the zone.

Sadly I'm with you on this one Rhaz. From what I am hearing Nexona punishes you for having too high a DPS rating.

Edited for spelling.
