The Zerg

[Easylivin]

My current plan is to basically use EQ2's system: hunting groups have a max of 6 people, monsters become "loot-locked" (and XP-locked) to the first person or group that attacks them, and a little icon shows that the monster is locked.

I remember when there was a bug that caused elite mobs to become loot locked for the first group, it caused a lot of drama in the game. Maybe we could be discouraged in other ways?

The 29-30 person lab run we had the other weekend was silly. The lag was terrible, getting sub 5fps for most of the dungeon, this slowed the run down and reduced the amount of loot I could get. Earlier this week I did lab with a group of 7, it was nice and we finished the entire dungeon without any issues. Mad loot!


So my feed back is, if there are too many players in a dungeon, turn on an appropriate level of the foul air debuff to discourage the larger groups. Or a new debuff that slows everything down and lowers combat xp% making the zerg not profitable.
