Things Are Looking Up

[Nefarum]

Just look at this page:

http://whokilledit.com/

Today there was:

- Healthy/fun competition between guilds for raid targets
- Both "levels" of guilds getting a chance to compete
- Some cooperation between guilds when needed
- A spread of raid targets going to multiple different guilds
- A lack of training/bullshit tactics
- Casual guilds happy they finally get a chance to experience some end game content
- Hardcore guilds still getting the majority of the rewards for their efforts

I'd say things have changed for the better around here, and we should all be pretty happy with the changes.

Cheers to the staff, thanks for the work you've put in. Looking forward to p99 more than ever.

[Sweetbaby Jesus]

Sounds awesome, wish the changes had happened when I was still playing.

[Pyrocat]

That is a pretty cool link you got there. Neat.

Big ups for the staff!

Agreed. Filthy casuals can't kill stuff on their own so they have to band together in an alliance of 2-3 guilds to down 32k HP dragons. So awful.

[Droog007]

Maybe this belongs in another thread... but on the topic of "Care Bears" vs. ... let's start calling them "Dark Hearts" for the sake of congruency, why is Doljonijiarnimorinmar not being included with Class C? That seems to be the game they wish to play, and if spirited competition is really what it's about - and not striving to become "TMO junior", then the residents of Class C should welcome them with open arms, and even defer to them when they bring their game - give them a chance to try and fail when they get there first.

Have to kill something to get into C class.

Even the filthiest casuals can kill stuff on their own. They have enough skills to do it. What they aren’t up to is going to extreme measures just to be able to prove they do have the skills to kill 32k HP Dragons.

Hardcore players feel they are entitled to monopolize the game like they did just because they are willing to use extreme measures. Unfortunately to them, those in charge don’t want P99 raiding to continue to be about just who is willing to use the most extreme measures to prove their worth.

And if there was ever any doubt, hardcore players answer to those in charge and not the other way around.

[Droog007]

If you actually check out the link in the OP, you may surmise (as I did) that Daldaen was being sarcastic... not that many "clean" kills by any one guild.

Have to kill something to get into C class.

And that can be ANY Class C designated mob, right? I guess maybe they do just want to be "TMO junior"...

[Uteunayr]

And that can be ANY Class C designated mob, right? I guess maybe they do just want to be "TMO junior"...

Correct, so if Dolj wants to be class C and have heavy competition, they can kill any mob in VP (which is always class C), or they can kill any mob currently listed as Class C (Trak, VS, Mastro, Vox). If they can successfully compete and beat a Class C guild on a Class C mob, they are a Class C guild. Even if they cannot go into VP due to keys, being Class C means they get more shots at Trak, so they can key up faster than they could if they were in Class R (as they would not get a 2 kill lockout as Class C in the same way Class R guilds do). So, beat a Class C guild for a Class C spawn, and get more Trak spawns to compete for, and get into VP faster to compete for VP dragons.

Truly a good system for any guild seeking that style.

[Daldaen]

Correct. You can't bitch about Carebear land when your guild can't even field enough raiders to down VP dragons with the PNP in effect. Having to merge up with the other "Class Competitive" guilds to kill them... LOL. That's some true competition, deciding where a three-guild 4-pool will split the pixels.

I just find that to be an excellent irony to the whole situation.

You are mistaken if you think we "had to merge up." Any of the guilds was more than capable of killing any of those dragons alone. We typically kill them with between 25 and 30. There were at least 80 people there. We had to camp at least 20 people because the zone was crashing lol.

Killing Hosh and PD together was more about not crossing agro on our pulls/train-aways and causing a train that would get one of our guilds raid banned. They are working on a better plan for the future.

[Hitpoint]

Pretty sure we never trained Taken in hate ever. I'm in FE. And you are still on ignore btw.

[Ella`Ella]

Doljarnilorinor had a chance to become CLass C. I double dog dared every single lord bob tagged character I saw into going up to hate to kill INNY.

INNY WAS LEFT UP FOR LIKE 6 HOURS ON REPOP. Why didn't u take it down lord Bob?

They all told me they didn't want to be competitive and had no idea what Hijal was talking about on all the discussion boards.

When asked why they would stay class R and not participate in the rotation, none of them would respond.

They have no idea what they are doing. They zoned into skyfire to try and kill a class R mob in which Azure Guard was up for on rotation and had full force. They keep following around Azure Guard for some reason trying to snipe FTE on their kills (like Faydedar where their wizards all nuked with REND from long range). ANyways, they trained themselves with like 50 chromodrakes while they were buffing, 2 min later 25 doljarnilomor corpses were scattered on the mountain side.

Grats Azure Guard btw on Talendor in the face of racing against that tough competition.

I remember when Anthrax told me I was "Continuously clueless" and "Had no focus". A week later Sloan and Shinko started a guild that would not only destroy what was left of his "competitive advantage" (or what BDA thought was 'competitive'), but later came to recruit most of his raid capable members and the majority of his officers...

I guess this explains why BDA is adverse to "competing" or "participating" in the raid scene. I mean, when I was in BDA, I had this kid yelling at me to buff pets with symbol for Trak...

I think I had a better clue than he did/does.

I remember when Anthrax told me I was "Continuously clueless" and "Had no focus". A week later I helped start a guild that would not only destroy what was left of his "competitive advantage" (or what BDA thought was 'competitive'), but later came to recruit most of his raid capable members and the majority of his officers...

I think your head has gotten too big for your fucking Helm lol. You started FE? If so, that is news to me. I was under the assumption that Shinko and Sloan ( not the toilet urinal flush valve) started Fe. Is this really even Unbrella? The same Bda member I used to group with, who was pretty decent on his cleric but nothing to write home about? The same Unbrella that was usually pretty cool and laid back? You don't sound like it now.

We never had a problem competing, I thought you were smart enough to realize that? We had a problem with the toxic raid scene and the grief it took just to kill a 32k merb without being trained, having to fraps, fte, rule lawyer etc etc.

lawl and that "kid" probably has more talent at everquest on his pinky then you do in all of your career in this game. :(

And you are smoking, the good bda raiders stuck around lol. The sell outs are mainly who left, You know, for dem pixels yo~


But keep running that propaganda about Bda not wanting to compete, and your massive skills about having a clue.

I'm so glad you were one of the first rats to jump off the ship. It's really pitiful how mad you are a year and a half after the fact.

[Ella`Ella]

I don't think you took anyone from BDA that's worth mentioning.

I don't even know who you are...but symboling pets for trak is probably the funniest thing ive ever heard. Thanks for the laugh.

And, yeah, I laughed pretty hard too when, whoever was playing on Anthrax, told me to symbol Jarbarn_000001.

[hatelore]

Lol, should have kept that swoll head a little less swoll Unbrella :( I at one time considered you a pretty damn good friend on p99. Kinda sad you left for pixels, even more sad you call out your old guild and spread lies just to beat your fucking chest.

/swoll head got popped.

[Ella`Ella]

Alright fine, make me do some research....

Notes from your (unbrella) app to BDA:

What do you have to offer Bregan D`Aerth?:
Pretty knowledgeable about the game and willing to help others - if I weren't willing to help, I probably wouldn't have been a cleric. I've got a strong working knowledge of how raids work on this server (unless i used to if it's anything like the DA vs IB days...). If things are different now, that's even better. My hours are pretty consistent so I should be pretty dependable on attendance. My past attendance was around 90%+. You'll have to excuse me though, I stopped playing in March of 2011 and came back this week.

What do you expect of Bregan D'Aerth?:
I really just want a guild that I can level, raid, and gear with. Maybe make a few friends and avoid schmucks.

was grouped in seb with this person today wasnt all that impressed, kept going on about how awesome of a cleric he was and what great skills he had, and then he let the tank die because he was busy rolling on loot before we even had the mob down to 80%.

by Ghaliyah on 09/05/2012 7:18 am


I've only grouped with him once, in Chardok, and he went afk without letting us know and the group wiped.

by Skullmonkey! on 09/05/2012 10:37 pm


Tanked with him in Karnor's Castle and Sebilis over the Labor Day weekend. Died three times in three days. Seems to be a little slow on complete heals, but I guess it's a good baseline for a month long app

He pissed off Slydexx "called him a badword " got /removed.


Unbrella Claims to not have said "Badword".

by dragonfists on 09/17/2012 12:15 am


As of now I'm voting no on him when it comes up. I've gotten nothing but bad vibes from this guy and have grouped with him several times. I dont trust him to a) cause drama b) be bad

by Nerosys on 09/22/2012 8:42 am


We just got this person his epic sooo i take it their staying ?

GUESS HE WASNT STAYING

Don't forget, I took sky loot on October 14th and left on October 15th.

And Slydexx, was and still is a "badword"

Primary reason why we can't have nice things.

[Pint]

bringing someones app thread to the server chat forum, you aint mad lol, your just classy

[Ella`Ella]

Thank god I don't have an FE app...

[Spitty]

I didn't know who he was, still don't really, but I vaguely remember a bad cleric looting and scooting.

So you don't even have to be someone noteworthy to have your application data and guildmember responses plastered all over the forums.

Careful, your quality is showing.

[Fael]

Alright fine, make me do some research....

Notes from your (unbrella) app to BDA:

I would be utterly devastated if I had someone in BDA tell me I was a shitty player.

No, i don't know anyone of those people who made those criticism, save Mechlingburger. No, i've never grouped with them and have no idea whether they are remotely decent players.
I just simply value the skill and prowess of BDA as a organization committed to excellence.

Accordingly, Im not sure how unbrella can go on living his life, knowing people in BDA think he sucks as a player.

I don't even recognize any of those names that you are quoting, which in my book means jack shit.

As a cleric myself, I see Unbrella as not only an exceptional cleric, but a very well rounded raid and guild leader.

[uygi]

You ditched out on BDA a long time ago to play on Toop's server, and you only came back because it died. I was (probably still am?) your friend, even though you're almost always somewhere between a troll and an asshole. You obviously would have gotten it eventually, but don't forget the guy not worth mentioning that made a clutch call and got you your Maestro hand... I wouldn't remember that guy either.

Some of the comments are over the top and irrational. Settle down guys you all got what you asked for out of the raid changes if you weren't in TMO/FE/IB.
