Time Between Raids

[DruiD]

I dunno if this has been brought up or not, I couldn't be bothered to do a search :p

But 5 minute delay before you can attack a crew mob again is useless now without aj's running rampid, this should be removed, or reduced to a minute if that. Just my 2 cents on that topic.

[Domination]

Agreed it should be decreased to one minute

[crudedude]

i don't even want a 1 min wait its completely pointless with the 20 raid an hour cap

[Eagleskill]

That would be nice if they took that time limmit off, i wouldant mind seeing the 20 raids an hour gone as well or is that already done lol i havent payd attention to that. Maybe Blackhand and those otehr gods would be killed faster?

[DruiD]

Yeah, I'm not saying to take away the 20 raids an hour, I'm alright with that, but it's just too boring waiting 5 minutes for a mob to respawn each time, won't hurt now that aj's are eliminated

[DarkPimpGuy]

i feel like waiting 5 minutes between raids and the 20 raids per hour cap is a bit redundant.

(60 minutes / 5 minutes in between raids = 12 raids per hour)

AJ's still seem to be a problem -- people joining 40 people in under a minute is anything but feasible in my eyes -- and those 40 are skilled? Seems a bit out of the question. I say keep it, it shouldn't affect you too much.

but if you have 3-4 raiders going at it.. thats nothing 40 .. accts

Regarding the 20/hr cap: I have been raiding Gov and Ele 5-man in Rancid this week for my multis crew. Only me, raiding 100% home-made manual joining, did 20 raids in 42 minutes. When you are running out of skills the 20 raid per hour is a pain in the neck. I would be glad if they increase that even just a bit, say...30 per hour. More than that will only make it easier for the aj, because moving even 1 space and joining 5 players in under 2 minutes (including the 2-word typing) is rather unlikely.

I think the 20 in an hour is fine, even if you do them all in 45 minutes, its on a slight wait till you can rad again.

And I reckon that the 5 minute wait per raid, should be either reduced to 2 or 3, it'll divide better into the 60 minute slots.

You're exactly right - anyone who has literally raided manually knows how long it takes, regardless of your bookmarks or saved cookies. The raid limit is fine at what it is. The raid cap I think is fine in my opinion as well, but about every hour I need to get a new beverage and a bathroom break - so I could use the extra 15 minutes.

[southernsandman]

Well, every time my wife sees me take a bio break she also takes the opportunity to take over the computer, or ask me to bathe the kids so...I'd rather skip the breaks. I wouldn't raid over 2 straight hours anyhow. :-))

i think i might agree here with you jZ (Y) keep it :)

[Wizzy]

I completely agree that they should remove that 1 raid per 5minute crap on Blackhand. It completely spoiled raiding those mobs for us because 5minutes just to do one raid is silly.

Proof that the 5minute per raid was a flop => Blackhand hasn't been killed in months.

[DruiD]

Yep exactly my point. Yeah at the time when aj's were going crazy it was a good idea, but now with sec images back, it really serves no purpose. Besides with 5 min between you lose atleast 1 raid you should of had because you never form exactly after the 5 minutes not to mention the extra time it takes to form, so you usually end up with 8 - 10 raids in an hour which kinda stinks. I'd rather fire off 20 quick raids and go relax somewhere :p

[Sparda1234]

Yeah now that AJ's aint a big issue anymore it should be removed, same with the 20 times per hour i dont think that is really needed anymore.

[bluedthunder]

I agree...the time limit is pretty useless and leading people away from raiding the boss and set mobs or encouraging the use of programs.

[Sensational]

tbh the things you get from BH, Fangore and Sandleman are pretty crap now anyway so i dont care :) unless they bring out a new guy ofcourse

they should make a new one, and also give sandleman a full set instead of just feet, ring, and head

[Sparda1234]

True, especially when you think about how many raids you need to do and time spent on them with no real say that you will even get a drop lol makes them kind of meaningless.
