I live in Asschusetts, this state sucks because of their kind and the likes of John Kerry.

There is a good metal scene in this state though

Coming from a server that has yet to down an avatar Im a little confused why they are taking so long to spawn? They rotate on Everfrost every 5-7 days I think at least thats what it appears. Must be once killed theres a different timer going or something? Prolly has something to do with the favor system, but Im not too familiar with it yet.

I do like Calaglin's idea. One thing though is how long does it take to kill an avatar once its on farm status? 30min give or take 10-20 from forming the raid to finishing the kill? If your guild is capable of killing them why would you wait to kill one every couple of days, most guilds raid at least 4hours a night. You could kill all of them in 2-3days and then have to wait 2 weeks for them to repop and we are right back to not having enough to do.

Also thats assuming only one guild on each server can kill them, if there are multiple guilds who are capable than they will die even faster.

A guild could potentially set it up to where you could force them to spawn every 3 days or so, by staggering the kills based on Calaglins idea, but its kinda rediculous to me that we would have to force the spawns in such a way so that we have something to do every few days. Probably still preferrable to the current system.

Every raider. EVERY SINGLE ONE, wants more end game content. There is no possible way that more end game content will hurt. And as far as I can tell, you still have not provided any intelligent reasoning as to why having the avatars be up more often is a bad thing besides some garbeled post about working as intended and something about how they are supposed to be rare. How long have you fucking played this game? How many things in that time frame were claimed to be working as intended and then later fixed. If you think that one guild should be able to clear every raid instance in 3 days and also totally dominate the contesteds because there is so few you have absouletly no fucking clue how an MMORPG should work.

If you would apply the same thought to heroic content, you'd be finished with all your instances in 2 days, and you wouldn't be able to kill any contested names cause a guild or two would have everything timed. And you'd be stuck sitting there for days with your thumb up your ass looking as stupid as you do on these forums.

Wait wait...every raider wants more content? Seriously? This needs to be on the official forums! Thank you so much for providing this insightful bit of news!

Avatars were not designed to be up on a regular basis or they'd be on a timer. Is such a simple concept really all that difficult for you? Do you think you are REALLY smarter than the people that designed this stuff? I'm not sure how else to explain it to you. I guess I could do a diagram or something...

Oh and btw? I don't like attention, that's Coyote's job.

I thought about it and I think this is editorial worthy. I truly appreciate you guys showing me that.

You wouldn't be able to "plan" a 4 hour raid window to kill all of them. Yu would need to kill them as they poped or someone else would, unless you are on a server were no one else could kill them.

So if one pops on monday, you aren't going to wait for friday to come around and hope that 4 or 5 are up so you can get them at one time

So you never answered my question earlier Radar. From taste alone what did Brenlo have for breakfast, and maybe dinner last night?

It's odd that you mention him. I think he's the only other male I've ever met who actually plays a troubador. I don't think he cross dresses though.

Just curious. How do you know what the Avatars were and were not designed to do? Or what the Dev's intentions are with regards to them for that matter?

The way Calaglin stated it though is that all 8 would be up at some point. Say SOE adopted his idea, when they put it into affect you would have all 8 up the next day and then either kill em one at a time over a few days to spread out the timers or kill as many as possible and then have to wait several weeks for more to pop. Also once dead the first time you would know exactly when it was going to pop again unless it was like a 3 week + 4 day timer similar to like KoS contested who can pop in a 6-10day window. That would randomize it some and make it more "contested" feeling.

SOE ignores people like me only at their peril. You want to make a game that isn't fun? Fine, go about your thing, and good luck because you will certainly need it. My arguments will be heard by the player base regardless, and they're the ones spending time with me in the game and funding this whole operation. There are more businesses than this one that have lost money by not taking my design advice. I'm not right on everything, but I'm right on enough, and confident in that.

If I happen to have a response to something you say, it's usually more entertaining to type it out than to tuck it away. This goes for everyone, you're just one of many.

My goal is to destroy plat pharmers because they ruin the game for me and others; they are not customers that I need to keep happy.

Well by the amount of instances and contested content I am sure any hardcore raider is way smarter then the person who designed this expansions raids
