We have seen quite a few bugs/ants in this expansion so far, but the latest raid we had to bang our heads against
had the biggest of them all: The Cliknar Queen!
This raid was even harder than the previous events, we were overwhelmed by the brutal hits of the Queen and her minions quite often, so indeed this picture showing
Cerberus (ya it's a female toon) tanking the Queen is fitting:
Anyway, after dozens of tries and countless deaths we managed to refine our strategy more and more and finally tonight we got the Queen down!
I was so excited that I didn't get a good screenshot of the Queen with low HP and even forgot to make shots of the loot, but here it is: Gleaming Cliknar Pincer, Sacred Engraved Hoop, Queen's Prime Minion Saddle
and 2 armor pieces.
To make up for my slackness in good screenshots (I might add one or two of some of my guild mates later), I am adding an adaption of an old song by Queen (sic!:
Cliknar Queen
She keeps aphits and young ants
in her pretty cavern hive
"Let them eat dirt" she says
just like every other night
A built in remedy
for mana and level expi
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline.
AEs and rampage spanks
well versed in raping tanks
Extraordinarily fierce
(chorus)
She's the Cliknar Queen
biggest ant you've ever seen
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your raid (anytime).
Recommended at the price
insatiable appetite
Wanna try?
All you guilds out there who haven't had a look at her yet: Feel free to try her, but be prepared for a long and harsh learning process. This can be said for almost any
raid in UF so far (well at least in their first incarnations), this expansion is defintiely giving us the challenge we (and most of the other bleeding edge guilds)
have been asking for.
I find it rather pathetic though, when one of the most prominent US guilds had to use exploits for their first wins and continued to use other exploits to give them an
advantage on fast loot and flags. The same guild which bragged that 4 groups of her members could outtank, outheal and out-DPS any full raid of every other guild, now
had to whine when they were finally punished after years of exploiting, manipulating lockouts and using graphic bugs for their advantage. I won't even comment on
their obvious attempt to throw dirt at other high end raid guilds to make themselves seem less shabby, because "everyone did this". I will only say that I myself
would feel totally lame if I had resorted to buff-blocking or geometry tanking to beat an event first time.
So, if you want to join a high end raid guild which is still among the top after so many years without sacrificing its dignity on the altar of progression then don't
look any further, just check out our recruitment section for details or talk to a recruiter or 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.
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.
Once upon a time in Norrath there was a guild called Raging Fury. It was among the most daring guilds existing in all of EverQuest and
so one day it ventured into a cold and desolate place in the domain of Brell Serilis called "The Cooling Chambers". Down there our guild
found a gargantuan beast resting on an island in the middle of the cave:
Daring as our guild was, it attacked the fierce beast with all its might, learning by pain and suffering, that for some victories you have to
labor hard and long. During the fight the guild found out many details about its fearsome foe, not the smallest of it being about the female
gender of the giant creature:
Many an attempt was made to strike down the gargantuan enemy, until on a glorious night the valiant guild didn't succumb to the claws of the
Beast, its mate or their hungry children. They stood strong and finally stroke down the last of their foes, so that a mighty cheer of victory
arose:
'The harder the foe, the bigger the triumph' can be said, and truly, a formidable foe the Beast had been! So all assembled on the spot,
where once the Beast had had its lair to see which treasures it might hold:
There was much rejoicing when Raging Fury could behold what was hidden inside the creature's lair apart from two sets of gauntlets: a precious
ring and a mighty sword
So much for this week's 'Fairie Tale Hour', in a historical context I can just say that this raid was the hardest I had to work on for
quite some time, so keep up the good work on those raids in Underfoot, SOE!
And now a final word from our research department:
That's all for now folks, next update when we got enough flags for the next tier raids!
The new expansion is out since the 15th of December officially, so you are waiting desperately for news from Raging Fury?
OK, I don't want to disappoint you, here we go:
Shortly before our annual christmas break (a few people in RF actually DO have a life outside of EQ!) we went to that overgrown puppy in Brell's Rest and sent it home with its tail between its legs.
Fippy never was an adversary worth mentioning, but this incarnation at least provided some resistance looks at the bite marks in his armor. Slack as I am, I haven't made any screenshots, so no more
information there..
Of course you would! So the next adversary was a bug army and it had some nasty surprises ready:
So after we blasted through the millions (so it seemed) of smaller bugs, finally also the big one woke up:
As we had some of his nastier underlings also plowing through our ranks, I took it upon myself to deal with this mighty adversary!
Look at this picture and you see what I am about to do:
But as we finally turned all of our attention to Mr. Big Ugly Bug himself, we exterminated him easily, thus ending the Cliknar Invasion
So, 2 down, 1 to go in T6, stay tuned for the next news!
PS: We are still looking for a few players to fill the gaps, but hurry, they won't stay open forever.
Clerics, Berserkers and Wizards
are the classes we are mainly looking for, but we have single spots open for some other classes as well, so check our recruitment section for details.
Not among the classes we have currently open? Don't despair yet! We do accept applications of exceptional players from many of the other classes as well, so speak to our recruiters
Illandra, Nalelini or Zorland or talk to
an officer if you would like to know more ;)
