Winning raids isn't fun. Wiping raids and having a super secret chat channel where the non-shitlords bitch about the shitlords is the only reason to play EQ now :smugdog:

Psh, RoI is the de-facto goon guild at this point. More active players and thread posters than any other guild!

We're certainly doing enough wiping right now. It just took a dev designing a raid specifically to gently caress with us with no shits about it being impossible for everyone else.

Balanced. Wiped twice, once while I figured out what the gently caress was going on, then a second time when some shitlord nuked the whole raid because he didn't run. Third time was flawless with me and another SK swapping Findle while we balanced them down. Then we oneshot xorbb2 first try for a second title :v: That raid has to be a joke or something.

Got xorbb3 down to 45 first try before we lost control of adds, but it'll drop on Sunday and we'll be T3 finally. Test guild is ENTIRELY different now that RBD and certain others are gone.

He apparently had his monthly I KNOW EVERYONE HATES ME pity party and this time everyone just agreed, so he quit hahahaha. Really wish I'd been around to see it :allears: Whole guild is happier than I've seen it since back when we first formed and were killing VoA targets. Came back to find good people in charge, the same solid warrior crew we already had, a REALLY nice cleric lineup, DPS that actually tries to do more than 13k :effort: DPS and calling it good, and of course shittacular knights, but you can't have everything.

Thanks for UIerror mention illa. I spent a solid 45 mins last night googling for a debug log and nobody else mentioned it so I just started mashing random Sparxxx and Zliz stuff together :v:

Your forums account has been permanently suspended due to: account hopping to avoid suspension.

I sent the mods an email asking why my main account was banned (I really don't know what it was, my only guess was quoting someone whining about the abrupt downtime and posting a gif of George Takei laughing) and they never responded. But at least they are good at monitoring IP addresses.

MY HERO :allears: Thanks for real. I was using a cobbled together mishmash of Sparx and pieces of yours and it just wasn't the same as my precious ZlizUI

Lisandra is one of the few people lovely enough to be refused admittance to our scrublord Test guild on one character, allowed to play a healer instead, then run out of the guild on that class too. Then he went to FV and joined a raid guild for a bit, then they booted him and now he just acts like a douche in Test general 23 hours a day. General is pretty much only worth trolling.

I didn't post anything with the second account, I just used it to browse after I got banned. Then I woke up, and next day, :cb: permaban. There is always an email they tell you to use if you want to appeal your ban, which I used and didn't even ask for an appeal, I just was curious which post it was. But they didn't answer that, they just want to keep me away from the forums they take so seriously.

Kod that sucks. We killed xorbb! On to chelsith, seems pretty straight forward and farmable, we got to the second snake man. Tanks were too slow to pick up after a kite emote and he shredded half the raid in seconds. If we can trivialize t3 and some of cotf we won't have to touch t1 or t2 ever again. HoF also seems stupid easy but we'll see.

You need to bust rear end in HoF 2. You're on a short timer, tanks need to pick up the right mobs and melee/casters need to dps the correct mobs down fast.

Chelsith is easily farmable but if people are retarded and don't follow emotes the snakes will begin to hit too hard and AE the raid to death.

It's all good hahaha. Lenovo recalled my SLI and they're happy to let me fix it myself, so I should be back by Thursday (maybe Tuesday). Talked to Ffalin late last night after I got the Walmart shitbox up and running, heard X3 ate poo poo, looking forward to telling Sheamous to stick it with his "Don't even try it after the nerf" bullshit in General :v:

Tell Feid and Pheno if you get a chance. I didn't ditch, laptop just went explode :emo:

^^ LoB's tanks are our strong area by far. We destroy all tank-centric raids. This is obviously due to me and Wiji. (It really is. We totally fail because of our DPS, which is much stronger now than when I quit to go to Chile. Me, Wiji, and one other Warrior carry poo poo like you wouldn't believe)

I don't know personally but my best guess is it can vary from two groups, to half the raid that can carry an entire raid for guilds like that. Unfortunately that probably means they raid like, 4 nights a week.

Haha I just thought about it but you guys raid less hours than us:psyduck:. Casual guild my rear end.

That's what I try to get through to people. If you hunker down to raid without everyone having to "afk" every 10minutes we could kill more poo poo in less time and be done raiding. Then you can afk all you want. It's more work to actually slack off than to do poo poo correctly.

All eight current CotF raids are on farm status and takes three hours to complete every Sunday. The Plane of War raid is an entirely different matter and made me realize that waking up and drinking Monster to keep myself awake five days a week is a Bad Idea.

The way our guild functions, you'd think casters couldn't move at all, just stay rooted to the banner while auras, rampages, and whatever else just comes flying at them. They just stand valiantly casting until they die, or miraculously the boss falls over from attrition.

ABC Always be casting
Mordaur is summoning me? *keep castin!*
*dead*
I'm standing in lava? *keep castin*
*dead*
I'm standing in the middle of Evantil tree where I can easily be trapped???*keep castin*
*trapped!*
Where's a good place to stand here? On top of Zeixshi-Kar sounds good *keep castin*
*rampaged*

Is this how you play a casters? I'm pretty sure you have like shield of fate as a nice defensive for unavoidable stuff like Mordaur's summon, can fd pot/fade after his first round. You can easily see most of the battle field from range so I have no idea how'd you have such bad situational awareness, it makes no sense.

I pull in Sky on P99, and back during WoW I was near the top of the charts for my 25 man guild, even though my spec wasn't the strongest. MMOs aren't that though. Just move around while press botanz, listen to raid leaders. Everyone fucks up some, but geez.
