Another week, another series of runs at the Rathe council. We had two shots on Monday. The first went bad when an unnoticed resist slipped by a Chanter and a Rathe Councilman got lose. End of Chanters. So we reset, had a wee rest, waited for the RC to regen and went again.
I timed this one, it took us a little over an hour to get the 10 RC under control and to pull the 5th for killing. Now depending on whose timer you listened to, we failed to kill the 6th and last RC by 7-30 seconds.
I
was sitting in front of my PC all hunched over, punching the air
and yelling at my monitor at 2am as I really thought we had it
and were about to finally succeed against the RC. Alas it wasn't
to be and I logged, disapointed at just after 2AM.
The
last attempt was made with 66 people as we had a full group of
people leave after the first fail. The ironic thing is that if
any one of those people has stayed and contributed DPS, I believe
we would have succeeded.
We
were so so close. Thursday (Tonight) the RC dies, and then it's
on to Coirnav. The thought of dropping both Coirnav and the RC
in one night just gets me hard.
Next
weeks update will include screenshots of a dead Avatar
of Earth and a dead Coirnav.
Well thanks to SOE's complete inability to correctly test anything, we had 3 days of "emergency" patch's. It was widely reported by the people that play on the Test serve, that the pet haste bug had been /bug reported for some time and SOE pushed it to the live servers anyway.
If
you aren't going to pay attention to the people who are supposed
to be the ones who test stuff, then why bother having a fucking
Test server in the first place?
Well
we never had enough people online to make an attempt on the RC
anyway. I don't know if people read about the patch and decided
to not log on or what, but it was a pretty piss poor turnout for
what would have been a major kill for SA. So instead of a shot
at RC we headed into Fire and POEb and did a bit of Fast farming.
Much much Phat Lewtz was handed out and we managed to clear out
POEb in less than an hour.
First
up was Babnoxis
the Spider Bitch in the Elemental
Plane of Fire. We were so pissed about losing our raid time
to another patch we just out and out ganked her.
Since
he was up, we were in zone, and we didn't have a lot of other
targets we pulled and killed Druav.
Yay another Mezzbreaker.
I think the first Elemental item we will ever have rot will be
that sword. If I could get Garakk into Fire it would be an awesome
twink weapon, but I'm fairly sure all of our mains have it at
this point.
Then
it was off to the Elemental
Plane of Earth and a fast kill of the Mud
Ring. We always seem to do Mud, maybe cause its closest and
it's a quick kill with decent Lewtz for its difficulty.
We
are definitely getting better at POEb
as well. We cleared the whole zone of Giant named's in slightly
less than an hour.
That
was it. Hugely frustrated we all gated out and logged as the servers
came down for the 3rd three hour patch in a row. RC dies next
Monday!.
