ok just something I thought of.


If you kill the God within the Plane of Time it should spawn a Projection identical to the one which you get outside time from the Same god.


For example. If you kill Saryn in Plane of Time a Projection spawns and gives you the flag identical to the one you would get from Saryn in Plane of Torment.

Imho I see no reason why people who have time access should not be able to get back flags this way...avoiding any issues with the uber guilds running over the smaller guilds just so they can reflag.


What do you think?

Excellent idea.

Of course sony's fix to this will to not allow PoTime access anymore to those who miss the backflags.....

This would certainly make it easier to recruit people into a PoTime guild.

I'm not really sure that is a good thing, there are arguments either way.

They already added elemental legs to mobs in time and changed the required flags for access to just the 4 elemental gods. To flag a batch of apps for time they only need to kill one set of gods or get an up and coming guild to share flags. There already really isn't much back killing required.

For time, there isnt much effort needed for backflags yeah. But for flagging those things, it somethimes is a huge pain cause of the gimps (read unflagged). Specially if you have a large number of recruits you are getting problems with the ammount of unflagged in your raid.

Also, Time isnt the only thing you will do every day. If you are able to clear it, i think most guilds will make it a 2 day raid. It can be done in 1 day even. Then you'll end up with a 7 - 8 hour raid tho =) After that, you will probably head into the elementals to kill things. So its not like Time guilds only need time flags.

I like the idea tho Time doesnt contain all flags from Pop. I'd rather see something like you kill Quarm an a PP spawns and flags you for all Pop. I mean, if you can kill the boss, you should be able to get everywhere :)

I think that if your "Time" flagged" you should be flagged automatically for all other elemental zones. Especially as the days and months pass and new members replace old ones, backflagging for elemental zone access will be a huge chore.

It can be done but its a huge negative for those already been through this and impacts the 2nd tier guilds by raiding their content.

There is a logic loop here. You want extra POP flags to be given out in plane of time so you don't have to back flag taking mobs from others. Yet the only real purpose to getting those flags is so you can easily kill mobs in earlier planes on your off days taking them away from the same other guilds.

I think its more an issue of taking less mobs of other guilds if a system like that would be in place. For instance if we would do a full flag round. Means we will have to kill content that we don't want to kill (the loot will likely rot) for only flagging issue. Those raids are extremely boring for us, not rewarding and only anoying. Every time guild has enough flagged people allready to kill in the elementals anywyas. It just will make things like exping.

Actually....

I see getting backflags for PoTime access people mostly for doing XP groups.

Killing of the Elemental stuff after you have PoTime access is mostly pointless IMO.

Time takes 2 days to totaly clear at most 3.

What happens for the other 5 days? remebering its a 5/6 day respawn in time


Elementals still and will always be a target for a time guild after time imho....well until the new expansion gives them something..it will wont it? :P

Well, we're stuck on killing the zeks atm... So for now we do PoTime every day and do some other gods when we get bored. ie Xegony, FR... However, some goobers keep blowing the FR event trigger in the morning...
