Topic

Rook Attack Frequency (as requested)

EDIT #2: This thread is the de facto repository of the ongoing efforts of the Rook Alerts group to keep track and predict the Rook attacks plaguing Aranna in particular and Rook attacks in general.

EDIT #1: Google Spreadsheet courtesy of Garum. Please update both the thread and the spreadsheet.

I have been keeping track of Rook attacks in Aranna especially those I participated in. So far my guesstimates have been holding true; the. rook attacks are approximately 2 real-time hours apart ± 10 minutes.

NOTE: This applies to Rook attacks in Aranna

  • Can we please add location of confirmed rook attacks, where possible? It will help with pattern analysis later if anyone is keen to do it :-)

  • I just entered all the information above into on calculation sheet of Google Documents, everyone can open and edit this sheet:
    docs.google.com/spreadsheet...

    Maybe we should continue this list in that sheet, what do you think?

  • okay now we are getting 2 at roughly the same time?  Kumida Middles in Muufo had one and Mulligani Meda within 5 minutes alert channel lit up for both.  21:35-40

  • Thanks for continuing the spread sheet. Are you sure the attack in Muufo was a real one and not just a rolled dice?

  • Take note that my original computations are for Aranna only. It could be that Rook attacks can occur in other regions, but my computations would not cover those.

    Garum, thanks for the file. Like I said before, I was too lazy to make an excel sheet so the work is very much appreciated. However, we should not stop posting here since it's readily accessible to anyone playing, but we should update the file for the convenience of those who want to make their own analysis.

    For those who are continuing the work... Great job! The holidays are over for me so I'm back to playing only 1-2 hours during the weekdays and only being able to play more on the weekends. Until then I can only cheer from the sidelines once more.

    The Favor of the Giants on you all.

  • From the look of things there should have already been two attacks between now and the 21:35 GMT attack in Mullangi Meda. Any updates?

  • Still no updates? There should have been a grand total of three attacks since the last updated attack on this thread.

    EDIT:
    Found that the spreadsheet was updated, but not the thread

    23:50 Tamota Trill in Aranna
    01:32 Mullangi Meda in Aranna

    Next attack should occur around 03:15 GMT.

  • Hmm. Still within the ± 10 minutes window, but the attacks are increasing in frequency.

  • Rook Attack in Doska Moda at 03:10 GMT, right on schedule.

    (Note that in the US, the time doesn't "Fall back" until THIS Sunday, November 6th. Thus GMT is only 4 hours ahead of EDT right now.)

  • not sure if one happened while I was out walking the dogs earlier but one just went down in Meera Dhala at 7:34.

  • Just posted this on a discussion in the Rook Chat {Non-Alert!} group:

    I actually want to plan an Aranna watch, just to determine exact Rook Attack times. It will mean positioning Glitchen in each street of Aranna with another tab or browser window open to a GMT clock to record exactly when the attacks start. Problem is that there should always be at least one Glitch in every street so it will be boring and tedious work.

  • guys let's see what happens if we just let the rook stay alive for a long time. maybe it will cause a special event. maybe nothing will happen. maybe there can be a rook attack going in each zone. who knows? might be interesting.

  • I don't know about that Mr. Dawgg. I kinda like repelling the Rook.

  • Are we ignoring rook attacks? I don't have MA or Piety so can't do anything anyway...
    Posted 13 months ago by Ellieco Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ellieco - you can help repell rooks by focusing on people who have MA and donating to the shrines. Everyone can participate. 
    Posted 13 months ago by Griselda Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Griselda has the right of it.

    You do not need Piety to fight the Rook, there are Glitchen who have learned that for you. You do not need to learn Martial Imagination, there are Glitchen who have learned that for you as well.

    All you need to fight the Rook is to be there to contribute to those with Martial Imagination by clicking on their MI spheres and to donate to the Shrines Primed by those with Piety.

    What do you get from participating? XP, bragging rights, and the satisfaction that you did not let the Rook get one over you.
