Having every craft at max has paid off because I can get up to 7 Dendrome crafting dailies in a day! (3 today but still, that's like super awesome)

Look at this pleb that didn't get glorified with the base SL reps by crafting.

Yeah, it's paid off before, levelling survivors with crafting is nice. But it can't compare to how easy it makes to grind Dendrome rep.

I don't even see why you'd exploit it, it has one goddamn mechanic for the tank to handle and you can kill it like a minute after enrage.

I think it has 2 kinds of explosions and a spinning cone thing. And the egg pulses are bigger than they look!

Plus everyone needs to consistently, without fail, wear their gear.

Yes, I've gotten to 20% on Proteus. And I've seen my guild kill Eggtenders on shard first (by triggering the exploit accidentally though). There really isn't much to be gained by exploiting it but it's still really loving silly to go "Fixing the fight is going to make it less fun"

E: I've also done Brothers which are p easy.

Well, there is a lot to be gained.

Sanity from not having to yell at people to get out of melee while he spins is one. Also, triggering the exploit accidentally doesn't exist. I...don't even know how that would happen unless your tank expected every single worm to start running after him. Do I want to even know if that's what he thought? :allears:

Cleric tank moves out of melee for some reason and bam, you have your bug. The spinning is pretty much an integral part of the fight and removing it just removes a lot of fun from it. It's not even particularly hard, salvarola's spin is harder.

I will cheese kill Eggtenders every week regardless if we can kill it the normal way or not, I don't care. It saves time and since we only raid like 5 hours/week I'd like to do as much as possible in our *~special time together~*

Oops, I didn't know that you guys were doing actual raiding on Thursday night.

I can't usually do anything on Fri/Sat, but since I'll be trying to get in a TDQ run tonight maybe we can just drop some crafting rifts right after, depending on how long things take? If not we could just shoot for Sunday night.

Thursday is usually GA/10 man raid night. Wednesday and Monday are the 20 man stuff.

If you have 400 hit, I don't care what you're doing. We are going to carry you through FT/EE and gear you up as much as possible, no exceptions. Wednesday is farm night, and as such, we try to get 2-3 new people per week to join in if possible, barring Regulos which we may swap you out on if need be.

Is anyone interested in burning through some crafting rifts on Thursday night? I'm thinking of starting at the normal raid time (9 PM east coast) unless anyone has any objections; any time in the following few hours would also work for me.

I'm Grundlefly / Yoloswagbro in game.

ugh yeah if this wasn't during GA i'd totally be down, though our ga1 maintank has been flaky so i'll definitely be down if i'm free.

I'm not even thinking that, it's just a stupid opinion and Kreczor defended it. I mean, I'm going to go for the cheese kill every time because it leaves more time for actual fun content (Proteus, Volan) but saying the fight is more fun when you can cheese it is retarded.

I hope they learned to never do a 10-man for a tier before releasing the 20-mans again!

So many guilds bled to death during the time when all there was to do was farm GA and do hard modes over and over again.

I've learned with Trion that they do not retroactively punish anyone / guild for things such as broken encounter mechanics. If they do its super infrequent. So if there's a way to cheese it I'll do it every week until Trion change the encounter and feel good about getting that loot for us. We suffer when it is the opposite and the encounter is too tough for anyone to complete it without banging their head of the wall for weeks and months (Akylios anyone?) and we get nothing for that other than people quitting.

Reps changes are good although I hate all of you that didn't grind it out the hard way.

So I've discovered the reason you generally want to go with a big internet company, and it's because they're not likely to have routine maintenance take out an entire region for roughly 36 hours.

Oh wait, that's what century link just did to southern Nevada.
