| 09:18.52 | Noshei | seebs: I've found that you can often get a response from ggg by sending a pm to any of the lead devs. |
| 09:19.45 | Noshei | so I would say, send a pm to chris or email support@grindinggear.com, either will most likely get you an answer. |

| 10:16.08 | Ivnedar | wow, warrior dps legs finally dropped from ultane |
| 10:16.19 | Ivnedar | after many many many months of killing every week ... |
| 10:23.43 | Ivnedar | oh dear, tdq is broken |
| 10:23.52 | Ivnedar | pvp constraint enabled |
| 10:24.00 | Ivnedar | defiants can't heal guardians and vice versa |
| 10:31.58 | Ivnedar | it's weird, it's only some things |
| 10:32.08 | Ivnedar | so their nameplates show up as hostile, but green, not red |
| 10:32.17 | Ivnedar | and their relation is hostile in the api |
| 10:59.41 | Amadeus- | that's awesome |
| 10:59.43 | Amadeus- | haha |
| 10:59.47 | Ivnedar | uh huh |
| 10:59.58 | Ivnedar | makes for some interesting raid comps to make up for it :) |
| 11:00.25 | Ivnedar | seems to be only in tdq though ... |

| 11:00.58 | Amadeus- | it actually made me think of a fun event for once a month or whatever: a pvp holiday! (Where pve servers become like pvp servers and vice-versa.) ...ahahaha! |
| 11:01.32 | Ivnedar | It'd burn the community too much |
| 11:01.37 | Amadeus- | naw |
| 11:01.45 | Amadeus- | One day ..during the week |
| 11:01.54 | Amadeus- | people that don't like it can just not log in that day ..lol |
| 11:02.10 | Ivnedar | 'cause that's a winning strategy :) |
| 11:02.55 | Imhothar1 | "holiday" is probably the wrong word for it |
| 11:05.29 | Ivnedar | and trash loot in idh has no .name now ... |
| 11:05.38 | Ivnedar | so Ivnedar has looted: [] |
| 11:05.46 | Ivnedar | you can click on the item link and it's empty |
| 11:05.54 | Amadeus- | maybe it's screwed up similarly to how conquest was screwed up that one time. |
| 11:05.57 | Amadeus- | might just be a bad instance. |
| 11:08.26 | Ivnedar | they're worth 3.5g at least :D |
| 11:08.32 | Amadeus- | Did you guys know about when EQ did the "progression servers" experiment? I wonder if that would work with Rift? (Obviously, the server would have to be segregated from the other servers.) |
| 11:08.48 | Ivnedar | what's that entail? |
| 11:08.58 | Amadeus- | I was trying to find a good website to explain it |
| 11:09.10 | Amadeus- | basically, they opened a new server with only content that was availble when the game was released |
| 11:09.16 | Ivnedar | ah, ok |
| 11:09.18 | Amadeus- | everyone had to start as a new character |
| 11:09.30 | Amadeus- | then, content was "unlocked" as players beat bosses |
| 11:09.45 | Amadeus- | so, to unlock the first expansion, all of the bosses from 1.0 had to be killed. |
| 11:09.49 | Amadeus- | (raid bosses) |
| 11:10.01 | Amadeus- | It was almost purely a pve thing ...but, was very fun and interesting. |
| 11:10.10 | Ivnedar | I am sad that more games don't do the large scale world events like wow's scarabwall/aq event |
| 11:10.11 | Amadeus- | Nostalgia is a powerful thing :) |
| 11:10.34 | Ivnedar | I loved it at the time too! |
| 11:10.42 | Ivnedar | the race between servers |
| 11:10.46 | Amadeus- | yea |
| 11:10.51 | Ivnedar | with server status shown on a public site |
| 11:10.55 | Amadeus- | yea |
| 11:10.56 | Imhothar1 | even though it was realy nothing more than a huge grind fest |
| 11:10.56 | Amadeus- | that was it |
| 11:11.02 | Ivnedar | yeah, it was |
| 11:11.14 | Ivnedar | but one that everyone could contribute to at every level of progress |
| 11:11.40 | Imhothar1 | still, I'd rather have no event than such an event again |
| 11:11.55 | Amadeus- | With Rift, I think it would be fun to just have a new server in which players couldn't transfer to other servers, nor could they move to other servers ....the only interaction between that new server and the others would be the chat channels. |
| 11:12.28 | Amadeus- | Just be fun to have everyone starting at lvl 1 again...and enjoy the process of leveling up without twinking, etc. |
| 11:12.48 | Amadeus- | I think players might return for the novelty |
| 11:13.06 | Imhothar1 | what novelty? |
| 11:13.24 | Amadeus- | Just be fun to have everyone starting at lvl 1 again...and enjoy the process of leveling up without twinking, etc. |
| 11:13.32 | Imhothar1 | you seriously overestimate how many people "enjoy" leveling up and repeating the same content |
| 11:13.50 | Amadeus- | shrug ...I've still not played all of the classes to level 60 yet :) |
| 11:14.14 | Amadeus- | I think a lot of people enjoy leveling |
| 11:14.19 | Imhothar1 | aye, think about it |
| 11:14.37 | Amadeus- | The only part I don't like is the slow run/mount speeds at lower levels. |
| 11:14.38 | Ivnedar | people enjoy experiencing new content |
| 11:15.04 | Amadeus- | Ivnedar, people also enjoy new experiences...and it would be new to anyone that wasn't there at launch. |
| 11:15.18 | Amadeus- | The experience of leveling from the beginning with everyone in the same situation. |
| 11:15.29 | Imhothar1 | what's the difference? |
| 11:15.53 | Imhothar1 | oh right, all your mobs are gone because everyone needs them and the lag is terrible because everyone's in the same area |
| 11:15.55 | Imhothar1 | yay |
| 11:15.59 | Amadeus- | There is a big difference from when I leveled my rogue at launch ..to when I leveled new characters just a couple months ago. |
| 11:16.23 | Imhothar1 | because when you did levle your first character it was the first time you did experience the Rift content |
| 11:16.50 | Amadeus- | I still think it would be fun, regardless ....the social interaction would be fun I think |
| 11:17.40 | Ivnedar | I think a lot of that is why people game hop |
| 11:17.52 | Ivnedar | They get to experience that glut of people all experiencing the same new content |
| 11:18.12 | Ivnedar | They get to consume 3-4 years worth of content development in a few months, then move onto the next one when it dries up |
| 11:18.55 | Imhothar1 | even if not everyone is leveling together. you cannot possibly have the same experience again that you did when you played the game for the first time in your life |
| 11:19.37 | Amadeus- | Well, I thought it was fun in EQ and a *lot* of people participated in it ...and that game was 10 years old when it happened...lol. |
| 11:19.43 | Imhothar1 | whether everyone else was on the same level or not doesn't matter. it was a new experience taht you cannot repeat. that's what causes nostalgia in the first place |
| 11:19.55 | Imhothar1 | you forget a lot in 10 years |
| 11:20.12 | Imhothar1 | after such a long time it's certainly different |
| 11:20.25 | Ivnedar | Sooo, I can walk backwards through the gate leading to the second boss in idh ... |
| 11:20.33 | Ivnedar | which makes me out of LoS of the boss and the raid |
| 11:21.23 | Imhothar1 | especially if you don't play the game for a very long time |
| 11:23.27 | Imhothar1 | Ivnedar: stop breaking the encounters. they are not designed to be broken! |
| 18:59.02 | ZorbaTHut | only backwards? |
| 20:09.49 | ZorbaTHut | also our raid tester wants to know if that makes progression any easier or if it's equivalent to just not being in the raid :V |
