No particular reason for this update really, I for one got fairly fed up with watching the same old Vishimtar
picture each time I loaded the page. Speaking of Vishimtar, we are still doing our upmost to kill him in a
position that might actually resemble a decent corpseshot, though as of yet, such an oppertunity has all but
eluded us.
Content wise, and I believe I am speaking for practically every high end guild out there, the weekly agenda
is quickly becoming pretty repetitive, more precisely a Tacvi Clearing, Anguish clearing, selected dragons
within the new expansion (read:two), and potentially an occasional MPG trial should the nostalgy arise. Add a day
or two of working on the Overlord Mata Muram encounter, and you have the raiding schedule for the next few months
laid out pretty plainly. Further content is sorely needed, and should this fail to be addressed within a reasonable
amount of time, further server mergers will most definitely be required, i.e announce more raiding content!
Everquest recently celebrated its six year anniversary, and with it, by popular demand, Fabled mobs were introduced
anew, this time in the Kunark expansion zones. Familiar faces such as Venril Sathir, Gorenaire, Talendor and Trakanon
were all somewhat buffed up and made for an entertaining reunion, and as the search for presentable Vishimtar picture
is still undergoing, the fabled celebrants will have to do for eyecandy.
A decaying dragon withered to the unrecognizable by the corruption festering beneath the mountains awaited a wary raidforce amid the eerie setting of the nest. Summoning an array of unDead servants to his aid, Vishimtar sought to spread the taint that seemingly had consumed the once lithe dragon, to no avail.
This encounter is possibly the most captivating challenge of DoN to date, not necessarily due to the difficulty involved, the dragon himself is quite easily bested once the correct strategy is applied, though the involvement of every member present definitely makes this fight one to remember.
Unlike the Mata Muram encounter, one slight neglect will not render the fight all but impossible, but merely prolong an already lengthy fight. As of yet we have not been able to allocate further content in the DoN expansion, and while the newest addition to Everquest has of yet been all but euphoria, one can only hope that further raiding content will be revealed. If not, completing an expansion in less than three weeks will surely be somewhat frowned upon, time will tell. Extremely poor screenshots this time around, one could almost think they were supplied by Finnemann!
The Pixxt summoner circle in Kod'Taz has long been an intriguing
event, both in regards to difficulty and to its potential role in
the progression pattern.
Having merely attempted the ring once prior to today, the ring was
completed sans too much asperity, and various items were distributed
amongst those present. Tingle and trille once again reap the acclaim
for providing the pictorial coverage.
Having successfully completed the open beta encounter of transcendence a few
days ago, it was with an eerie feel of anticipation that we approached the taelosian altar yesterday evening.
Sadly we were all but disappointed upon discovering the tendencies of the trial mentioned initially, apparantly
leaving the players completely clueless in regards to what is actually required to kill a mob, has struck home with
our beloved developers at Sony.
Eventually stumbling across "the correct energy deemed a necessity to vanquish this foe", the final encounter was a complete
reciprocal of the trial in general, in other words, enjoyable.
The keeper of the altar was however not in a photogenic mood, thus seconds after pressing F10, entering my camera mode, I was easily disposed of,
limiting the pictorial coverage, but believe it or not, Trille actually managed to snap the occasion, though unfortunately with my corpse displayed amid the remnants.
In lieu of Wednesdays patch, the chamber of transcendence was revisited in hopes
of more specific aid in regards to what kind of brawn was needed to slay
the individual sentinels of Ikkinz.
Like many a guild, our progress in Kod Taz had until this point been halted
thoroughly by this all but broken encounter. Though rumour proclaimed several guilds
had actually completed the event prior to the changes brought live this week.
Thus we also blithely attempted a haughty zerg fest of random killshots and
intricate division of melee and caster dps, to no avail, merely to illustrate
some of the vagaries that took place in the chambers of destruction.
Nevertheless, with the implemented changes, the encounter was completed with ease,
and baffled yet jovial magicians felt useful for a change as the sentinel weak
to coalesced damage fell to the ground. As the pictures most likely illustrate, I
was not present personally, and the screenshot button seems to have eluded my guild
once again.
Leading the quote section, Ztroke "accidentallY" clicking the portal within
Innoruuk's lair, whilst Spellquestor used the occasion to clear his own name, also
worth noticing, the secret of getting a cleric to join your Kod Taz group!
For what I believe was the seventh time, Raging-Fury was gathered at Boomtown in Copenhagen. These
real life events have grown to be a trademark of our guild, and symbolizes the fact that there are much
more to the high-end game of Everquest than merely the strive for loot. (even though I am sure Hoyas would disagree!)
Each of these gatherings consist of one raid, often a target we have never bested prior to the gathering, or something
which has been way overdue for us to achieve as a guild, followed by a night of enjoying the nightlife
Copenhagen has to offer.
Vulaek'Aerr was the primary target, a ring we had attempted a few times prior to the release of Planes
of Power, though as most of you are probably aware of, being subject to a few ring resets, combined with
servercrashes, this ring was soon abandoned as newer content emerged. However, this being the sole
challenge left in Velious, it was decided Vulak's time had come.
Once again we offer our most sincere grattitude to Taxa for organizing the event, like he has done many a time in the past,
and knowing the gnome, we all remain certain there will be more to come. Apart from the slaying of Vulak'Aerr we have been
attempting numerous elemental plane mobs, completing the necessary keys and so forth.
There used to be a section called fashion victims on this page, though due to the Legacy of Ykesha release, the amount
of possible candidates have been overwhelming, thus the following display of a few randomly selected candidates will
sadly be the concluding summary for the time being.
Last but not least, and most likely not the final sighting of the following occurrence:
