There
wasn't a whole lot left standing in Time
after last weeks sterling effort. So we formed up, crushed Tier
One and headed straight up to Tier Five. I had this feeling that
Cazic
Thule was going to drop the Wand
of Impenetrable Force tonight. Why you ask and why would I
care?.
Well I dunno why I had the feeling, but the reason I cared
is that in Time every Class gets a classic specific item, with
two exceptions. The Necromancer and Wizard class share an item.
That
item is the Wand of Impenetrable Force. So far we have had 3 drop
and I was quite interested in the possibility of a 4th. The major
reason for that (apart from its my Class item duh) is that with
the upgrade of my Robe (WOOT!) the effect on my Wand
of the Firestorm has become superfluous, the same goes with
my Pus
Covered Beetle Carapace in my offhand. So now I am looking
for main and offhand items that I can upgrade and there is none
better than the Force Wand.
So
we pulled Mr Thule put him in a corner and sure enough, that feeling
in my Water was correct. He dropped the wand!. I sent in a tell
and then actually walked away to watch Sopranos (Christopher was
about to get his head blown off by Tony!)
There
were only 4 tells sent so it didn't seem to be a popular item.
I kept an eye on the screen and when I started to see green spam
I walked back. I actually had to page up to confirm but there
it was!. Woot one Wand of Impenetrable Force! Thank you! Thank
you! Thank you!
This
is a screen shot of Ulaa in her Haute Couture. The Red
robe of Miragul, The Wand
of Impenetrable Force and the Pus
Covered Beetle Carapace. As you can tell the shield sticks
out like an off the rack!, it will be replaced!.
Ahem
anyway, next up was Inny.
We pulled him, he died, it was all good. At this point in the
night I actually started to lag really badly. I don't know why
but out of the blue my packet loss went from 0% to spiking between
25-50%. Just before we moved up to the Quarm prep room I went
LD.
The
problem was definitely on Prexus or close to it. All of my local
IPs were responding promptly but as soon as I hit the west coast
of the US I started to loose connections.
So
I got back in and rejoined the raid just as they ported up to
Quarm.
We spent a few minutes sorting tactics and Quarm was inc, I started
to move down to get in behind the Clerics and..... went LD. I
hate that. Moving when Link Dead is so annoying as you just know
you are going to die and there is nothing you can do about it.
Sure enough I came back to a log on screen that indicated I was
nekkid in the plane of Tranquility.
So
I ran back into Time, but as we didn't have an anchor and the
raid was engaged I couldn't get back to TimeB. So I sat and medded
and watched GU for any signs of what was going on. Wouldn't you
know it, LD again. I came back just in time to see the Death call.
God damnit.
Ah
well, Shit happens. I'm not quite going to say he is on the farm
list, but we started the fight with 70 and ended it with 62 in
zone. So one more kill like that and he is definitely farmable.
Xardan
The Brown
We
did a fast clear down to Rondo and an equally fast kill.
SA
went on to kill a few named's in Ferubi but I decided I would
take the rare opportunity to have an early night and headed for
bed just after 1:00am. Thursday will be a big night with all of
1,2,3,4, RZ and Bert up.
Fast
Update as I am buggered after last nights raid. I have pickies,
will update Monday.

The
officers very politely described our progress through Tier One
as "Shaky". I actually thought it was close to a complete
cock up. We eventually decided to pull our heads out of our collective
asses (I was as guiulty as anyone) and get our shit together.
To
paraphrase Wolfestar "We backed up the truck, loaded up our
PhatLewtz and pissed off home". Eloquently put and a good description I thought Wolfe.
Time
is now Pharmable and Im sure we will learn to absolutely loathe
it eventually, but right now I am still having a blast. There
is no thrill as good in EQ as dropping a God, except maybe dropping
that God for the first time.
Thats
pretty much it really.
