What about setting Rally up completely different entirely? Making it a constant event like Bamarama, and only allowing entrance once a day for players so that they cannot capitalize the rewards. And instead of giving the rewards to only the highest DPS, do it a bit like mongos and give the same rewards to everyone who participated? This way it's giving every tera player a chance to enter, no matter their timezone. It also would prevent the same 2 guilds from monopolizing the event as well. It's probably not possible, but it would be pretty interesting if it could be done this way. o:
It's how it should be so I'm not really disappointed, I wish we could get a double rally going on sometime soon tho! Dreamstorm used to happen at times that were good for all timezones but they lagged the servers badly
Spawn times being 15 minutes would allow people to inspect players and only invite those in Stormcry +9. We had a 10 minute timer before and the same guilds on every server always got first and monopolized the rally.
First i couldn't do CU and now Rally time is taken from me...
Thanks alot EME
> Can someone explain to me why rallys don't have a set time that they happen? Like why not give each day their own time that they spawn so that everyone and their mother can participate and make rally's slightly more enjoyable...
Because this is a north american server you're playing on.
I honestly don't believe EME should be screwing NA players out on any days.
Sorry but... This is the companies home region.
I think hes referencing the 5 hour window for the bam to spawn
....the 5 hour window ontop of the bam spawning not even a minute after being announced is a pretty big inconvenience regardless of the timezone
This does seem like a nice approach.
Give everyone a single entry per day and they can form a raid to kill an instanced BAMs for a fixed reward. Make the rewards bound-to-account enchant mats to prevent abuse. The only difference between raids would be how long it takes to kill the BAM and it would be an incentive for guilds to do it together and it would encourage all level 65 players could participate.
A more inclusive event like this would be great for the community as a whole I think.
That's what I was going for!
Chance to level my guild is again gone ... ow well.
But, yes, in that post, I did say that having multiple Rallies throughout the day would be a fairer way to go about this.
Being that Rally Quests work in tandem with the other options, however providing a few more points than the rest, all Guilds should have a greater opportunity to participate, at least once, perhaps at most once daily with a single Quest option for it.
The way I see this is, Rally Quests operate in a fashion that is timed. Currently, it's a surprise, because it's no longer selectable on our menu -- we can't see it as we once could before Rallies were removed, which is another issue -- but getting to the point, a Rally Quest as it stands now would be the same as offering all of our Guild Quests at a certain timetable -- you may only access them during select hours. If you cannot be logged in for those hours, you cannot participate, therefore, you cannot advance. While this is a bit overdone, I would say a small stretch, Rallies have returned, have been active, and do run on this platform. In essence, because of the timing involved, no matter what timezones or timeframes set out for us, someone does potentially get set back by it as it remains in its current principle, so I express great encouragement towards looking for a way to implement a more diverse, if not a more permanently accessible, constant, ongoing nature to it like the Bamarama as suggested. ^_^
I do understand that a Bamarama-type timeframe still does not guarantee true completion, as, to my knowledge it requires that the BAMs be defeated and does require great group participation, hence the Raid composition, but it does offer a broader spectrum of availability, which is what we could all use.
For right now, my husband and I are determined to continue running and leveling our Guild as strongly as we always have. We've done quite well without Rallies so far, we can continue without them; however, we do look forward to hopefully seeing a far greater improvement and implementation of this feature in the future. ^_^
It was also a PVE rally on the PVP day.
adding an hour during 1am and 6 am dont help players in that timezone at all !
if rally is really supposed to be "random" why dont you just double the spawn time, seeing as eme always says it strives for fairness ..and the bigger the spawn time for rally the more fair it is for everyone .
if you can change the time by 1 hour you can double it, then for non NA players it would roughly be 1 am to 11am.
as it is CU is very late for eu players 2-3 am .
this is extremely unfair.
