Default VP spawn points

I understand that I am behind the times but is there a particular reason for there only being one spawn point in all of VP? Surely adding a respawn at the beginning of each wing that unlocks after killing a named in that wing would not be very difficult. Most the time someone gets logged or fd's but it is ridiculous to have to spend another 20min to run back between pulls.

protip: when you fail an encounter dont have the entire raid die

protip #2: dont fail encounters often enough that the RNG eventually fucks you and everyone dies for some reason

protip #3: a little bacon and tuna makes kraft mac&cheese into a tasty treat


common sense? [yes/no/baconisdelicious]

It IS fucking lame. But hey, who can feign moderate surprise at hearing SOE put something lame into the game?

Why all the heartache? Is this really impacting people's gaming experience that much?

Srsly, either camp a res'er, or don't be jackasses and completely wipe instead of feigning or leashing. Even on ugly wipes you should always be able to have one person survive. Is everyone spec'd tinkering? If not, why not?

Would it really have any negative impact on your gameplay if they put respawn points at the start of each wing? It would save some people some time if they fully wipe, the downside to this is what?

Why? Because you need some transmuters for the crappy loot. Right?

I always wondered about the motive of having 1 respawn point and a single annoying respawning mob in the entire zone. It adds nothing but annoyance factor.

Default Re: VP spawn points

Fact of the matter is that when you are learning mobs, especially the first couple pulls, it can be difficult to avoid a full wipe or get someone logged out in time. Our first night on Druushk we had 20min of downtime every single pull. And as previously stated, there is no negative to adding the spawn points. After one clearing you can run past the first room and even past the drake without even getting aggro. Therefore the one respawn is not even making a raid have to start over and fight back. It is just forcing one person to run back and rez while the entire raid party sits around for 15 minutes. The zone is great, its as big as it should be for the amount of named and was designed very well, except for the one spawn point.

somebody in raid get karana for a diety and if the fd's all fail, that person can carefully wait for the mob to reset and then resurect themselves and their group from the dead while dead. karana's blessing rocks.
