24.08.2014 Progression is done for CoTF by Imrahil

Dear regular readers of Raging Fury news!

I have to apologize to all of you. Not only is this a rather small update this time (as the last one hasn't been THAT long ago), it is also far too late, as we have beaten the last progression event already on the 11th of August, so nearly two weeks ago. I could come now and blame global warming causing floodwaves to ovErflow my apartment or maybe aliens abducting my PC, but I want to be honest with you and simply say that I had other things on my mind and forgot.

That out of the way let's talk about the two last raids we have beaten.

The first one was called "Burned Out", a phrase some raiders may have used recently when they had to describe their own sentiments about EQ and its raids. Nonetheless I personally found this raid not that bad (maybe a bit too easy) and the graphics are rather nice:

Burned Out

The last progression raid is called "The Journey Home" and it wraps up many of the story lines brought in with this expansion - not bad. The raid itself is OK, but once again (like in Tower of Rot) the raid success is completely depending on the last few percent, meaning that you have to redo all the previous rather tedious stuff only to wipe at 5 percent. I myself don't like such a design and having it two times in only three tier 2 raids to me is a bit annoying... Nonetheless the raid isn't too bad once you learn the setup, the end is just a tad too chaotic for my taste. Oh, and Zebuxoruk still likes to babble too much (long time players will remember him from Planes of Power - now THAT was a proper expansion *remembers fondly*)

Zebuxoruk

So, all of the progression is done, but there is still one raid to beat, the one in Plane of War which came out as "anniversary raid" only to be later officially changed to "permanent", as noone even bothered with it at the start considering its rather high risk vs. reward. Since the event has gone through a retune it has been beaten by more guilds than just the ruling "King of the Hill" Realm of Insanity, so Raging Fury will have a second look at it too now that apart from it only farming is left.

For thoseof you who haven't already heard it, the next expansion for EverQuest has been officially announced for the 28th of October and it will be called The Darkened Sea. I still wonder if they will finally bring in "Ship to Ship Combat" as promised for the expansion The Buried Sea years ago...

Anyway, let me finish with a little fun people have been having with those pesky clickies lately during raids:

Balls #1

Balls #2

Balls #3

It seems, Arionex has indeed taken the point and knows where the balls belong:

Balls #4

Balls #5

That's all for now folks, see you in Norrath maybe!




OK this will only be a short update, because with the current speed in which Raging Fury is winning events I simply cannot spend hours composing the artful masterpieces you have come to love as a regular reader of our news!

So, I will make this short: after weeks of fine-tuning and learning we have finally been able to beat the second trial in Brell's Temple - The Trial of Creation! Our corpse-to-be had his own description of this raid:

i love this event, its like putting your dick between 2 larg...

Well, the pain at least brought us also some new toys:

Katar of Bound Elements Veil of Reflective Crystal

That's it for now, only 1 event left to beat for the access to converteum, stay tuned, it won't be long till next update!




22.08.2010 The Fungal Corruption has ended by Imrahil

This expansion has seen quite a number of bugs so far - and I am speaking merely about the intended bugs here. Starting with The Unborrowing over the Cliknar Guardians to the Cliknar Queen we could use our trusty Raging Fury anti-bug spray again and again. Now we found another target for it: the Death Beetle:

The Death Beetle

With the help of that powerful tool and our usual merry band of raiders we managed to vanquish this mighty insect as fifth guild serverwide :

You hear shouts of relief as the beetle falls over dead. You...

So, what did we get for our trouble? Apart from the usual 2 armor pieces we got us these nice new treasure pieces:

Band of the Forgotten Etched Rune of Renewal

Sadly enough our anti-bug spray does not work when it comes to technical bugs and be assured: there are quite a few in this script. From the idea itself (kill lots of mushrooms to make a giant beetle appear - did the dev maybe smoke some of those shrooms?!) over the more or less random reactions later on ("does he spawn? we did everything right!" -"Maybe!") to the fun fact that the script doesn't reset properly (anyone wants a 60 K quad-hitter after reset?) the whole thing is so far the buggiest encounter we have seen in this expansion.

On the other hand this is nothing compared to good old Rallos Returns in SoD, so I guess overall most bugs in the current expansion are indeed part of the story and can be overcome by guilds willing to put in the effort. Granted, the effort needed in Underfoot is higher than in SoD, but that was desperately needed, because EverQuest has always been about challenges and I certainly hope that the next expansion House of Thule will be offering enough hard content to keep us occupied. During several talks with different devs at the Fan Faire in Las Vegas (yay, baby!) it sounded like they were aiming for the expansion to be a bit easier than Underfoot, but still closer to that level of challenge than to the snorefest that was called SoD - phew!

Mentioning the Fan Faire: it has become a good tradition in the last 3 years that a few members of Raging Fury attend this event and this year we had a total count of 8 Raging Furies in smoking hot Vegas - not a bad number for a Euro guild! As always it was a blast meeting old friends and new faces (and some interesting bodies too!) and the atmosphere among players from around the world across quite a number of different games is something truly unique. Just see how friendly we are to our guild mates:

when i rented a car in Vegas Obs was bitching, so i told him...

Of course there were quite a few opportunities to talk to the current devs, and although they might make a few mistakes (who doesn't?) their dedication and enthusiasm for the game is clearly visible. Apart from game mechanic debates and questions about issues like class balance the next expansion was obviously the HoT topic (ya, they made lots of puns about the acronym). Apart from the stuff like new 5 new levels, player housing and bigger bags (rejoice Vmas, you can finally start collecting more illusions, mounts, shields and weapons again!), the date of its planned release was what really surprised me: the 14th of October is about a month earlier than anticipated, making it less than 11 months since the release of Underfoot. One can speculate about the reasons for this early release (some say, it is because most guilds still struggle with the already nerfed down events in T6 and 5 additional level will make it far easier), the bottom line is that there are only 7 weeks left to beat Underfoot before it is "old content". For us in Raging Fury this means we have to focus even more on beating the last missing events in T7 so that we can see for ourselves if indeed Converteum itself is comparatively easy to beat as some folks suggested when they saw that all 3 guilds who have entered it, also have finished the expansion shortly afterwards.

If you want to be part of this team and beat expansions while they are current, then check our recruitment. We are filling open spots pretty well at the moment, so don't wait too long to apply! We are mainly looking for

Shamans, Clerics and Rogues

We do accept applications from some of the other classes as well, so speak to our recruiters Brilhasti, Illandra, or Nalelini or talk to an officer.

29.08.2009 In the summer time by Imrahil

In the summer time when the weather is high
you can chase Giants and kill Mindblight
when the weather's right
you got phat loot, you got phat loot on your mind.
Get a ring, get a shield
go raid and see what you can find

So much for the EQ-adaption of an old Mungo Jerry song, which more or less shows what we are doing in the game during this season.

It is farm time and noone can deny it, so apart from the freshly implemented event Giants, Giants, Giants nothing really new out there, so people are enjoying the nice weather, drinks and relaxation outside of EQ. Of course we keep up our schedule to kill everything worthwhile, but we all are looking forward to new challenges in the next expansion Underfoot.

Speaking of the upcoming 16th expansion of EverQuest: if you want to become part of one of the leading guilds in this game, a guild that has managed to stay among the top 5 serverwide for 9 expansions in a row, now is the time! We are looking especially for Wizards, Rogues, Berzerkers and Clerics, but do accept applications of exceptional players from many of the other classes also, so speak to our recruiters Illandra, Nalelini, Abadonn or talk to an officer. if you want to know more.

That's it for today, only a short update, gotta get out into the sun!

*goes out humming "Da da da da da"

16.08.2008 Recruitment openings by Dalrek

Unfortunately there will be no new kills to report until next expansion is released since we already killed everything in SoF, including the various versions of Kerafyrm, so instead we will give a few select people the chance to join our team before Seeds of Destruction comes out

We are looking for some new people in the form of good and high attendance rogues and berserkers, a bard and finally a shaman. More info can be found here: Recruiting status

As always, we tend to fill our open spots rather fast, so send Illandra a tell in game, PM her on the forum or send her a mail

I will see if I can dig up some quotes for the next frontpage update while we wait




19.08.2007 At the movies! by Dalrek

Just a very brief input to give you something to kill time with while we are killing big bad mobs.

Fuzzy has put up a link with the various RF movies we have made in the past and even a new TSS movie that was a little long in the making: Raging Fury Movies

Enjoy, and we will be back with an update on Mayong and Sol Ro soon!
