Here I was today, trying to find a movie featuring the animal which was the main ingredient of the raid we had beaten last night
(called "Masked invaders"). So I entered "movie, badger" into the search engine most beloved by the chinese government and see what I found:
That video summarizes pretty well what happens during the hours of boredom and annoyance one has to get through to win this event. The next quote
is also a fitting summary:
Although the idea for a raid after a stupid song might sound funny, believe me it is not and my guild mates shared the feeling:
So the reason why we stayed on it until almost half past midnight to finish it off was only so that we wouldn't have to come back the next day.
After somewhere around 3 hours (which felt like 30) we finally were at the big boss badger:
Normally after beating an event for the first time (OK, admittedly we had beaten it a week ago when it was in a totally gimped state, but that doesn't count)
people cheer and are exhilirated - on the badgers though it was only a sigh of relief going through the GU that it was finally over. Did I mention I didn't
like the raid? Guess so...Anyway, at least we got some loot for all the tedium:
4 events down, but a few more to come and although I might seem a bit annoyed with the last raid, all in all I do enjoy the current expansion from a
purely raider's point of view - events are hard and challenging and need people with good attention and focus, with the skill to play their
class and the will to work in a team to achieve something.
You think you do fit into that description? Good!You want to become a part of Raging Fury? Even better!You are among the following classes?
Rogues, Berserkers and Wizards
Pure awesomeness, as those are the classes we are mainly looking for, but we have a few limited spots open for other classes as well (especially another
Beastlord or a Necro), so check our recruitment section for details.
Not among the classes we have currently open? No need to wimper "Badgers badgers badgers"! We do accept applications from exceptional players from most
of the other classes as well, so speak to our recruiters Illandra, Nalelini or Zorland or talk to an officer.
OK, this Sunday afternoon Raging Fury had a really nice show going on. For the past few weeks we had been working on Brath
(aka the big bad golem event) and the Cliknar Guardians (aka ants).
We had had Brath at 45 percent on Tuesday and on 4 percent on Thursday, so we were quite optimistic that today he would fall. Being the leet minimum-DPS-guild we
have been known as for ages (5 pallies in the raid FTW!) we managed to wipe at 0 percent on the first go today, but on the second run we did better and he
finally fell on his face.
Feeling brave after this victory we thought "why not visit those pesky insects and exterminate them?" so we moved to Arthicrex and after some fine tuning on the
execution we managed to make it two first kills on one day - a real Sunday afternoon double feature!
Afterwards we went for a fast look at the Cliknar Queen herself, but she was a bit annoyed about the havoc we brought to her underlings and gave us a royal
spanking. Well, 3 in a row would have been too much I guess, although it would have saved me the trouble of having to write another news update soon.
PS: We have filled some of the open spots lately with some nice and skilled new folks, but there are still some slots open, especially for
Druids, Clerics, Wizards and Rogues
We do accept applications from exceptional players from most of the other classes as well, so speak to our recruiters Illandra,
or Nalelini or talk to an officer.
