IB boxxing naggy?

[Billfrommst1]

Its amazing naggy popd n 30 seconds later IB had there box groups ready to kill naggy after they poopsocked

/cheer for IB

[Maddy]

Aye i was under the impression poopsocking is history. Guess some things never change

[regatta]

Its amazing naggy popd n 30 seconds later IB had there box groups ready to kill naggy after they poopsocked

/cheer for IB

It's because we all logged out at the ledge. Tracker said Naggy was up and we logged in. Not sure what you're trying to get at here.

[korrowan]

I say ban all these guilds that have cheaters in them.

[Billfrommst1]

cuz those people that logged on for a 10 min fight apprently werent on there alts nor went to alts.... pop increased n decreased for the fight... sorry but that looks like boxing to me =/

[regatta]

We don't have to be logged on to know if a raid target spawns. Your logic is still unsound.

[Trimm]

I'll just get this out of the way now, Divinity was logged out at the ledge as well and IB was faster than us. The OP (Nymphetamine in-game) is not a member of ours.

[Billfrommst1]

no shit but what your saying in 30 seconds of a mob spawning ur blackphones go out n people log in faster then texts can get out... thats impressive id love to know how you do it...

[regatta]

I get batphone, go to computer, type in password, click login, wait 15 seconds, click enter world, wait 15 more seconds, form group, go (I was already logged in from last night so I just had to do the last two steps). Maybe this will help you on your future endeavors.

[Magnavox]

hey bill, why don't you make a forum account that reflects who you are in game? otherwise no one will know who you are and everyone will think you're a unaccountable douche nug

Do you NOT know how this works yet??? DA, IB, (and maybe divinty) have been doing this for months, and you STILL don't "get it"?


Step 1) Said guild knows that Naggy could spawn within the next 12 hours, so all mains camp out in lair.

Step 2) Said guild keeps a character with TRACK (or showeq) up in the zone until dragon spawns.

Step 3) dragon spawns

Step 4) Guild Tracker posts a twitter message to all guild members tied to thier cell phones to "LOG ON - DRAGON SPAWN"

Step 5) Said guild kills dragon in 30 seconds

Step 6) QQ on forums by guilds who haven't thought to use this method of mobilization.




Seriously guys, this is a server is stacked with people who want to kill end game content and the only way it's going to get done is if you are the quickest to mobilize. Does it suck? yes, but that's just the way it is.
I miss the days of planned raid night and raid times, but that method just doesn't work on this server.

I think it stinks for those who really try to get the big spawns, but I have to laugh at the guilds that operate the way that is described here. Are you guys that uber lame that all you do is sit around all day waiting to kill a monster in a game? Do you have lives or jobs in rl? LMAO.

<conversation with rl woman>

Uber guild member: So I realize that you are probably looking for a man with a good job and life skills. Someone who will spend time with you and love you. Someone that can provide a good home and be a good father. But cereal, I helped kill a fucking dragon in a video game last nite; that has to count fro something!

What do you mean it sucks for those who really try to get big spawns? Do you not think that is what we are doing? We are obviously putting in more effort than anyone else if we are getting the kills.

As to what you are saying about "sit around all day waiting to kill a monster in a game", isn't that the point of Everquest? To kill npc's and get loot?

No I do not have a job I am a disabled veteran.

I thought the point of EQ was to have fun and be immersed in a world of fantasy. I did not realize it was a "job"...haha. I mean, if you are able to sit in front of a computer day and night, then you could work at a call center or as a data entry person. Thanks for serving your country, but I find it hard to believe that you are so disabled that you cannot do anything...obviously you can play on your computer all day. : )

So during this rl time you have you are conveniently next to your computer the second you get the tweet? Obviously your rl time does not include being away from your computer...like being outside...haha. Or does your wife carry around a laptop for you? She must be proud. ;)

[ukaking]

Just wondering whats wrong with having a lvl 30 Main? I make an effort every night to level, but at this time, my main is lower level. 2-3 hours four or five times a week isnt a lot to level up. Doesnt make me any worse a player, just once with less time. Just like I don't see any of you lvl 50 "poopsockers" and "raiders" as being any less humans IRL.

Wait a second...
So If I use my Droid, have my wife carry our laptops around with us anywhere, we could really be "hardcore" players? So if we get the tweet, we could log in right on the spot and kill something huge!?
And to think we didnt stand a chance with the pace of our real lives! Now Im stoked!

I have a level 30 main by choice and he is not even level 30 anymore as I don't update that thing all the time but anyway I choose to make a lot of money and choose to workout for 1.5 hour a day. On top of that 8-9 hours of sleep, the Red Wings and being married + 3 days of competitive sports = not much time to sit around using pixels to kill pixels. Not everyone plays this game to get uber pixels by having no life.

[Xentin]

Man I didn't realize everyone's jobs started at 5am PST to miss a Nagafen spawn..... fuck me for being ignorant and believing everyone's RL and schedules were the same......

[Ihealyou]

Posting on a forum for an emulated eq server means you're a nerd. Sorry :(

[Omnimorph]

I like the tags here.

If the people with the lives that can't log in to kill teh dwagon when he spawns aren't bothered about a game, why do they still post complaining about it? surely the fact they have a life full of loving people and fulfilling moments, that eq is just a small means of entertainment they try to squeeze in.

If IB mobilised this fast to get naggy, all credit to them. They clearly wanted it more!

EQ favours the no-lifer. It was classic in 99, it's classic now. Then again complaining about the people who beat you by saying they have no life is also classic so... as you were i guess.

[M.Bison]

Thread derailed...the point of this thread is that I 25boxxed nagafen...and the OP is a liar

Thanks for serving your country, but I find it hard to believe that you are so disabled that you cannot do anything...obviously you can play on your computer all day. : )

The *entire* point of the original vision for EQ was that it can be played however you want to play it. You can enjoy playing casually with friends a few hours a week, being a roleplayer and exploring all of the quests and nooks and crannies of Norrath, raiding the hardest content in the game, or anything in between.

I am a CPA for a large investment bank, where I work 50ish hours a week (when things are slow). I have a family which anyone in my guild will tell you I put before the game - you will never see me online on a weekday before 8:30 PM when i've had dinner with them and put my son to bed.

Whatever mold you have in your mind that hardcore raiders must fit in to, I assure you, I do not fit that mold. In fact, most people in these guilds probably don't. EQ takes a lot less time than you think it does if you are doing it in a focused manner with specific objectives.

What drew me to P1999 was the allure of reliving my great high school and college memories of raiding these gods and dragons the first time around. I am having a blast doing it. To me, that is one of the things I do for fun. I have no idea what drew you (or some of the other people who choose to play the game with different objectives than myself) here, but I don't see how our choices impact you at all or why you are so worked up over them.

[Lazortag]

Nymphetamine is a fucking tool. He accused me (a Bard) of training him in Uguk, and of even having a FRAPS video proving this, even though Bards have to zone out or die to train people (neither of which I did at the time of this occurrence). Funnily enough no GM has contacted me about this supposed "training" so I guess Nymphetamine was a liar all along.

I am not worked up at all. I can't even raid yet since I am only lvl 25...lol. I know, I am one of those stupid moronic dumbasses that is only lvl 25 and not 50, but I do what I can. :)

My earlier point was to get some of the uber guildies worked up about being total douchbags in rl for spending 24/7 online playing a game...it seems to have worked, as many are trying to defend how they are so NOT LIKE that (like I will ever believe that)...haha.

Why can't people understand that what is fun to one isn't to another and vice versa?

I mean look at the people who got their jollies off DDOS'ing the server or training EC or people who port people to the wrong place and /q out.

IB just put in a system that works, they have been using this same system for many many months. You can take out most of the players and replace them with whoever and it still works. I'm not saying it's the right way to do things. But EQ is about mobilization and they usually win. It helps to have a ton of guild members too. If you want to know how to beat them, just beat them at their own game.

And maybe training their tracker helps!? IMA KIDDING!

Problem being is what's happening now is a leftover from the poopsock glory days. The leftover -- the variance -- isn't classic and isn't what went down on live. Live never had a variance. The people complaining about rotation (which even I don't agree with) are quick to point out that it wouldn't work here but don't say a fucking word about the variance.

EQ mobilization was about having various targets up and diplomacy and racing between guilds who would go after certain targets (think server goes up, leader PMs leader and each states their intentions and both guilds go on their merrily way or one says F you and /ignore).

Signing on when the thing spawns and SEQing the spawn time (as per DA) isn't classic. Wake the fuck up

You dont understand what happened here. The players where not logged in when the mob poped. They where doing other things IE RL (maybe). They were advised a mob had poped via social media and logged in for 30 min. The mob was killed they logged back out. saying they played "24/7" is the exact opposite to what happened. I cant even load my clubs, drive to the range hit a bucket of balls in 30 min.

The explain this to me. How can they be doing other things in rl and have the ability to log on within 30 secs of getting a tweet? Even if the tweet was received by phone, how could they log on so fast unless they were waiting by their computer? I doubt they were out getting an oil change, or grocery shopping, or hitting golf balls, or working, or taking their kids to school, or anything that involved being more than 4 feet from their computer at the time of the tweet. This is what is confusing to me.

1. Because people are using hyperbole when they say 30 seconds.

If people are not around thier PC's, they don't login.... its as simple as that.
Why do you think DA doesn't close recruitment? We have lots of people from all over the world in different time zones, so no matter how many people are out doing RL stuff or sleeping, there is still enough players that will login to kill said dragon.

Some people may be total dorks with nothing else to do, and some people are not. Quit acting all high and mighty like you are this real life mega pimp. If you were so f*cking cool you wouldn't be here.

It is my understanding this was very early in the morning. The OP's post was made at 6am. Thus for most people there is minimal RL going on at that time of day. (i guess they woke up early to kill a dragon) The 30 second claim was made by the OP who appears to be a moron and a liar so i would not trust it at all.

Does that help ?

He is still a little sore

Thanks for proving my point.

Also Bison, why would I believe you on this. Aren't you in said guild?

I already told everyone, i 25boxxed nagafen this morning. What is so hard to believe about this? Granted i had to close my SEQ and MQ2, as well as log out on my 3 other trackers (one in sky/fear/hate), then tweak some code on my alt GM character. but srsly, after you remove naggys auto attack function its quite easy...

[Kaleadar]

Playing online games is cool these days. Playing online games to the point of having no life outside of said game... not cool now and was not cool in 1999.

Tell that to this guy!

Are you talking about Master Bison? Hehe. I love gamers with no imaginations You know, the ones that cannot create an online persona. Instead they steal that of another character. I mean how many Legolas ranger class people have you seen in games. Or the myriad of other stolen names. (M. Bison for example). Can you guys not have original thought? I would rather see someone named pwnedurmom or pedeefile, than someone who has to use the name of someone else's creation. And come on... at least make it fit the game. M. Bison isn't even fantasy (may be his fantasy...lol. Maybe that why he uses it...haha.) Oh well.

A couple things:

It truly amazes me how everyone seems to agree it is self evident that parked toon tracking (whether by druid/ranger or supposed 3rd party programs), mass messaging via googlephone, twitter, or sms messaging, happens to log in people who are camped out at a spawn....yet people continue to come to the forums and be surprised by it. Granted, twitter and googlephone didn't exist in 1999...but sms sure did and the batphone was happening then - only someone truly ignorant would be surprised by a more advanced system now.

Secondly, I really think it is funny that people continue to pull out the whole "you raiders have no life" red herring. If nothing else is classic, that behavior certainly is. The batphone/twitter/sms system is what allows most raiders who use it to spend far far less time on project 1999 than others who do not utilize it. True, there are people who attach a larger than normal priority to playtime. Most people, though, use quick mobilization/camp method to jump online to do what they want to do: raid/dominate a server with minimal impact on their RL interests.

For example, on an average evening I can spend my time with my wife, lesson planning, working on grad school obligations, playing music, cooking, writing...any number of activities knowing that if something happens in-game which reflects why I want to play (IE raiding and not running around farming that 50th thousand platinum piece). I can walk over to the comp, click login, and be ready to raid. The side effect is fast mobilzation, beccause I'm not nuts deep in some dungeon somewhere farming items to sell to Bob. I don't know about debating 30 seconds versus 10 minutes...that kinda thing is something I would put in the realm of OCD.

Bottom line: It is not hard whatsoever to get a toon to 50 on this server, get a full set of planar + resist gear, jboots if you want, and a healthy amount of plat banked. After that, if you want to raid...I recommend doing it the most effecient way possible - camping out buffed and ringing the ol' batphone.

People didn't use the batphone here like they did in 1999 because in 1999 the spawns were static 3 & 7 day with 1 to 4 patch days during each week.

OMG IT'S NYMPHETAMINE and I am Giganto, big freakin deal. It doesnt matter. Please just do your thing. Whoever it is yeah it's a dumb post becuase this is how things work when the dragon/god is on it's last hours to spawn. Texting 30 people or whatever the number may be can be done in a matter of seconds and all at once so it's pretty simple. This thread is stupid and pointless, glad I could clear things up to you all.

Never once did I say anything about getting up early in the morning. I could care less about when people decide to raid. Managing their level of nerdy is obviously their prerogative. You won't find me personally raiding late night, but to each their own. I certainly am not complaining, however, about camping out at a spawn buffed, utilizing someone who does play a lot to track, and logging in to kill a boss.

If the people with the lives that can't log in to kill teh dwagon when he spawns aren't bothered about a game, why do they still post complaining about it? surely the fact they have a life full of loving people and fulfilling moments, that eq is just a small means of entertainment they try to squeeze in.

Doesnt even have to be like that. If you want to kill raid targets you have a guild tracker that many people have access to. People takes shifts, very few at all would sit there for more than 3 hours at a time, it's a team effort, been there and done that.

Meant to do add: "if you cant log in for atleast 3 hours at a time, why do you log in at all? Cant get much done less than that except level an alt. Not everyone is super busy but it doesnt make the others bitches becuase they just so happen to have days they can log in for 3 hours"

[Sizzle]

The way I see it is, if people are going to be willing to spend countless wasted hours sitting on a spawn or waiting for it to spawn etc to get items in a game they dont even pay for, feel free you can have it. This is why i chose not to join one of these said hardcore raiding guilds. Come kunark there will be tons more targets and there will be plenty of loot to go around. Now we just need to wait for devs to finish it :). Classic has been so long here. I think this is why we have issues such as these. I mean im sure that there was a reason the developers of EQ decided to bring out Kunark when they did. It keeps people playing, keeps people interested, the list goes on. Theres a much bigger raid ready player base here and having 4 big boss targets just doesnt really cut it for everyone who wants to get their hands on the goods.

[girth]

and having 4 big boss targets just doesnt really cut it


Naggy

yes, patch day spawns would be quite nice too.

[Sizzle]

Sorry may i should have pointed out major targets that most people are worried about. maybe draco/djorn should have been added to the 4, if we are naming all the bosses how about we get us some phinny on that list too :p oh and that bee and sister thing cant forget those :p
But yea simulated patch day respawns, cool but idk if they are really necessary. People are probably more sick of playing classic right now since its been out for over a year now? I know Devs are working hard and will eventually get it done. keep it up kiddos!

Everybody does realize that people in IB/DA like it when people flame forums about them? They like to feel special that they can say they are somehow superior at EQ Skillz cause they actually get up at 4am to kill a virtual dragon for a chance at lewtz. Of course, they're all in denial about this and they'll say "I don't spend that much time HAH!, My penis is bigger! Ahah!" But we all know the truth.....

[Villide]

Why would you wake up to kill a cartoon on a 10 year old game for loot that will be obsolete in a 10 year old game in a few months anyway?

I figured that people would just play for the fun of it these days, this is kind of sad.
I realize I'm late to the party on this, but I just wanted to thank TJHooker for his in-depth determination of where the line is in video gaming.


Logging in at a "normal" time to kill a cartoon on a 10 year old game for loot that will be obsolete in a 10 year old game in a few months = FUN
Waking up at a "random" time to kill a cartoon on a 10 year old game for loot that will be obsolete in a 10 year old game in a few months = SAD

That's why I come to this board - just for the rationalizations.

You're right. It's so much more impressive to put in solid 12 hour EQ shifts - but if you pull a 8 hour shift and wake up in the middle of the night to put in 4 hours, you've clearly got issues. In my opinion, both of those individuals probably have "larger issues at stake".

Well... waking up for a set thing at a set time is different than waiting around for however long people wait around for a mob that is on a varied spawn time. What is a solution? For some showeq not picking on any guilds here by all means. but it has been happening we know this. So why not just kick the variance?

only reasons i can think of:

1. people either have never raided on live and don't recall just how raiding actually worked.

2. they think variance is a good idea even though it entices people to cheat and has already been abused 2-3 times now on numerous occasions.

Definition
Addiction is a persistent, compulsive dependence on a behavior or substance. The term has been partially replaced by the word dependence for substance abuse. Addiction has been extended, however, to include mood-altering behaviors or activities. Some researchers speak of two types of addictions: substance addictions (for example, alcoholism, drug abuse, and smoking); and process addictions (for example, gambling, spending, shopping, eating, and sexual activity). There is a growing recognition that many addicts, such as polydrug abusers, are addicted to more than one substance or process.

I was also looking on your guild discussion thread. Tell me, whats the point of claiming you are server first to "Bazzt Zzzt, Sister of the Spire" when the scripts wern't working correctly? I heard you guys can't even kill Spiroc Lord. What's the point of bragging about this?

[Sydarm]

Welcome to the modern world of cell phones and social network sites. It is perfectly feasible to have a raid force available within a minute or two to kill a boss as IB and DA have been doing it for months.

You may as well attack a subject on this server that deserves it, like the cheaters. And yes, I know it's interesting that I bring it up considering Koota...cheating is much more widespread than I ever would have thought until recent events. It's a big problem.

In theory they should be functioning just as they did on live. So anyone who has ever done classic content should know exactly how every raid boss works.

And even if they weren't there they could read about it from any of a 100 different sources. The only unknowns on this server would be bugs that the devs don't know about or haven't fixed yet.

So If raid mobs aren't behaving as they did on live and you know about this then you should be reporting it. Otherwise you are essentially exploiting a game bug.

What do you think we did up there? We basically beta tested the higher islands of Sky since the real beta test of sky didn't go very far, yet people attack us like it was our fault mobs weren't tuned correctly...I can assure you, they were still VERY difficult and we petitioned anything we could find whether is was too easy or too hard.

In case you forgot, we also had to fight mobs that were HARDER than supposed to be.

So basically, unless you were in the raid that went up there, you have NO idea what went on or what the mobs were like and should keep your ignorant comments to yourself.

[Trimm]

Hmm, I think he was just talking about in general.. not IB in sky there Girth :)

Speaking of, just out of curiosity really, how were the mobs tuned when Sky first came out? As a guild we took advantage of DA and IB both being up there so we didn't seriously start hitting it until things were adjusted. Like for example Spiroc has be brought up before, he hits now for a max of 350 and is hasted. How'd you guys kill him before if he was actually hitting harder (Not starting shit, genuinely curious)?

[Trimm]

Edit: also, I don't have an alt in DA, I was just messing with Azeth. Gotta pass the time at work somehow.

My comment had nothing to do with you or your guild man. I was responding to Pheer claiming that a level 28 should have no idea what raid content is like on the server. You missed the point.

That being said and since you are the one bringing it up, you also had your fair share of easy mode mobs in the early days of the server, let's not kid ourselves here. None of the bosses where doing what they were supposed to back when you and trans started farming them. All those early raid encounters had to be tuned to become more difficult, not the other way around.

But like I said, nobody is talking about that now so I don't know why you brought it up.

[guineapig]

I believe this was before mage pets were nerfed, actually the pet nerf and the Lord fix happened around the same time. So petting Lord down significantly wasn't an issue, especially with the number of pets they had available. Just a guess.

[Skope]

Spiroc lord was hitting harder, but the DPS output was relatively the same. I've spoken to an old IB member who had the parsed data and we were comparing. Needless to say it wasn't much of a difference, particularly when you take into account the double-bladed 6+ swing spiroc who sucks donkeyballs...

You can claim you've had it hard, but that argument won't work with a guild that's been here for longer than 2-3 months and members who date back to when the server started. Quit being defensive, quit spewing shit and let's speak the truth here.

[girth]

I believe this was before mage pets were nerfed, actually the pet nerf and the Lord fix happened around the same time. So petting Lord down significantly wasn't an issue, especially with the number of pets they had available. Just a guess.

I can assure you, Lord's dps was too high to 'pet him down'. Also sorry my previous post wasn't directed at only you, more at Phoe, but still relevant with your past on this issue.

Skope, he hit for around 500, and how do you know he didn't still have the bugged attacks back then? We did kill him dual wielding back then too. Once again, unless you were there...shut up about how the mobs were.

[girth]

None of the bosses where doing what they were supposed to back when you and trans started farming them. All those early raid encounters had to be tuned to become more difficult, not the other way around.

Some of them still aren't. I recently brought it to the GM's attention that CT and Inny are not dispelling as they should, which was confirmed and probably will be changed hopefully soon.

[Skope]

Girth, I compared the parsed # with the post-patch Spiroc Lord which a former member of yours gave me. He was definitely there... in fact he was still tagged while he gave them to me!

[girth]

How'd you guys kill him before if he was actually hitting harder (Not starting shit, genuinely curious)?

We had people thinking outside the box...and I'm not sure I can give up the strat without getting into trouble(from guild, not GMs).

I will say that we did use real tanks and never any charmed mobs like some tried and still failed.

[girth]

Girth, I compared the parsed # with the post-patch Spiroc Lord which a former member of yours gave me. He was definitely there... in fact he was still tagged while he gave them to me!

Can you confirm that it was a pre-nerf kill and that he was not dual wielding blades? If they did add the broken 6 swing AFTER the nerf, then yea it would probably be close...but we killed him post-nerf dual wielding and it was a good bit easier, though still not easy by any means.

[Skope]

pre-nerf comparison to post-nerf. and yes, the numbers were damn near identical

and yea, it's not easy. wasn't easy then and it's not easy now

[Lazortag]

IB's strategy for killing the spiroc lord was to have an enchanter charm it, have everyone /duel the enchanter, and then kill the defenseless spiroc lord that way.

[Trimm]

I guess I'm just thinking out loud then. If "pre-nerf" Spiroc was so hard, and you guys had him on farm status, what changed so much that now the "post-nerf easy" version isn't farmed 24/7 by IB? Did the Idol trick stop working?

I'm not looking to start anything, we have our method of killing him that's not exactly a secret to anyone.

[Nakara]

you're right, it's that easy to join.

i don't know if this is sarcasm or what but you guys literally let anyone join and have some of the worst players on the server save for peace pipe. soichai comes to mind.

[Kruel]

i don't know if this is sarcasm or what but you guys literally let anyone join and have some of the worst players on the server save for peace pipe. soichai comes to mind.

With all this "worst player" talk DA was still able to farm spiroc lord actively and has killd him 5 times in a single night. DA lets ANYONE apply and have a shot. Prove yourself and if you arent a good fit, we simply part ways.

[Nakara]

and how many people did you have on those raids? because if its more than 20-25 you can pretty much just mindlessly zerg. no skill necessary.

I'm not looking to start anything, we have our method of killing him that's not exactly a secret to anyone.

I'm not saying post-nerf version is easy, but unless its proven that his weird extra attacks are a new thing, then I will assume the only thing that changed was the max hit and therefore must be easier. 600 (500x4 - 350x4) extra potential damage per round is nothing to laugh at, especially since he almost always has a ton of haste and even more especially if he was still getting in extra swings, if so then it was that much harder. Skope also didn't answer my question if the log you had of ours was using 2 wingblades, either they both do or both don't, otherwise the comparison is stupid.

Either way, this whole argument is getting old, it's a no-nonsense encounter and needs fixing if he really is 6-8 rounding per swing; shame we missed it if he was doing it back then, but we were under the impression sky mobs didn't really quad but had haste to make up for it (sounds weird I know, would love to hear what's really going on up there). That said, I don't see a bug report from you guys either...has it been discussed with any dev/GMs at least?

Also, if you noticed, we hit a rough patch for a bit and it took us a while to get back to where we wanted to be. Now that we're there, it won't be long I assure you, though I'm fine with waiting cause when we farmed him, his loot table hated us. We had like 10 wingblades in a day or something stupid, not much else dropped.


and how many people did you have on those raids? because if its more than 20-25 you can pretty much just mindlessly zerg. no skill necessary.

I hate to stick up for DA, but that is complete bullshit when it comes to Sky during classic...maybe if you said over 35. Even then you cannot just zerg all the bosses or all of Sky would be cleared by now. You tired of being stupid yet?

[Scrooge]

IB's strategy for killing the spiroc lord was to have an enchanter charm it, have everyone /duel the enchanter, and then kill the defenseless spiroc lord that way.

Isn't that considered...cheating?

[guineapig]

In their defense, Spiroc Lord is one target that cannot be killed with 20 level 50's. There's just no way.

[Nakara]

if you're bad, maybe.


Even then you cannot just zerg all the bosses or all of Sky would be cleared by now.

i fuss only when SL drops 2 wingblades and a treant tear.

[Scrooge]

Has anyone tried killing any of the lower names in Sky with a single group?

[azeth]

Hm Thunder Spirit Princess I bet could be 1 grouped if things go smoothely with aggro. I mean you'll need 2 of the 6 group slots for clerics at least leaving 1 for the tank, and 3 for dps. Having another tank in there as a fail safe I think might doom your clerics mana given the lack of dps.

[azeth]

eh maybe not, i'd be up for trying it out though :)

[Scrooge]

Definitely something to consider.

[Skope]

Girth, as far as i know the extra rounds of attacks are due to the 2 blades. He is definitely considerably harder with the 2 blades and has 6 or so swings a round. As i stated in the other thread, if i know for a fact that that's a bug or needs nerfing it'd have been reported. As of yet, though, nobody really knows whether he should be doing that or not so i'm not gonna report it w/o any proof :) What we seem to agree is that his blade drop rate was increased later to appease warriors even though you could essentially farm him until he spawned with a blade, but w/e, whiny warriors.

Iirc, pre-nerf SL hit harder but didn't have the haste boost that was added later (on p99). I believe that the spiroc lord had a single blade when he parsed his numbers and considering your own post in the other thread regarding the matter, you yourself admitted you noticed no significant difference at all when SL was wielding 2. That may have been true prior to that patch -- and presumably this was true then -- but it's most definitely not the case now. That bastard hurts...

Scrooge, princess isn't a cake-walk either. I'd say you'd probably need a group and a half to take her down. In general the sky bosses (and even some trash) are harder than old world dragon/gods.
