<Seal Team> is hosting open Lady Vox on Monday December 22, 1 PM EST

[Phatez]

Dear Players on Green,

We now have an exact time for the Lady Vox raid next week. The Lady Vox raid will be at 1 PM EST on Dec 23. Anyone at any level is welcome to come join us for the dragon kill! We will be meeting at the zone in to Permafrost and clearing up as a raid.

There is no level requirement to join the raid and you must be level 25+ to roll on dragon loot.

The following items from the raid will be distributed via Seal Team's loot list system.
1) White Dragon Scales
2) Scimitar of the Mistwalker
3) Runed Bolster Belt
4) Staff of Forbidden Rites

All other gear will be /random to 25+ using a NBG priority system.

<Seal Team> will host monthly open raids for each tier of content. We also intend to host a server wide open raid for the release of Plane of Fear/Hate with no loot reserves.

Best,

Phatez

Raid is soon.

[Swish]

It's still worded in an ambiguous way, why not just state clearly that the 4 items listed aren't/weren't getting dished out to non-guildies?

[Nirgon]

im gonna say it

at the raid?

careful dude, there might be ENCHANTERS there

Normal Guild, "hey let's hold an open raid and everyone can roll on the loot."

Seal Team, "hey let's hold an open raid but only we get to keep the good loot, let's restrict these items from everyone rolling on them, but they can roll on these other items."

If you do an open raid, do an open raid, don't half ass it, lol...lame.

[Nirgon]

Any other guilds doing this on green or teal at all?

"Normal guilds" appear to be doing.... nothing?

Eyepatch and spear are BIS equips for classes in this time period.

I will seriously talk with the ST higher-ups about letting you guys have an open shot at Vox next time, led by Skorge.

It's like some people are blind...don't you realize how much this sets people off? If you do an open raid, really do one - don't put restrictions on it. You are better off not even doing an open raid.

Seal Team is going to take so much heat for doing this, unnecessary heat.

Word, but that's not the point. The point is they are restricting people who are there helping them kill the boss but saying hey you don't get a chance at these items...that's pure greed. Greed I say greed!

Well you will know the window based on when it is killed today. Ready your normies.

This criticism is crazy to me. You're getting a chance on loot you probably wouldn't normally get for a long time from a guild hosting an open raid (which is more of a liability than a help, usually) and you're complaint is that it's not enough?

I come from the live progression servers, where the default mentality of the top guild is always "Get better n00b!," so I see this more of an ingratiating gesture rather than Seal Team trying to screw everyone. I hope that's not me being naive, but the fact is they don't have to invite anyone.

[Sizar]

Tranix loot wasn't mentioned. Crown is badass

[Nirgon]

I don't see Kingdom doing this on teal? Maybe in the future? Not sure tbh. I want no doings with teal or blue atm.

[Veeshan31]

Didn't realize vox dropped King Tranix loot. Is that another one of those unclassic changes they have made for green/teal?

There are screen shots with a guild officer or leader being a complete jerk to his entire guild...look it up. It's on Rants & Flames. I think they thought by holding an open raid it would make them look better or something, but then they go and put restrictions on some loot, lol. It's a failed PR stunt.

This is a ridiculous stance, big surprise that big guilds have drama. This thing is a chance at loot people not in the guild would otherwise have zero chance at. There is no downside at all when the alternative is getting absolutely nothing with a 100 percent guarantee. Its open (attendance) with some loot being available without having to deal with meeting normal raid requirements.

That said I had been wanting to attend just to see the thing go down. Im sad to hear it ended up being during work for me. I hope some of these in the future happen later in the day.

Raid was a ton of fun. We were in and out in less than an hour. Vox died very quickly. Seal Team gave clear instructions for us newbs, and we had very few deaths.

Even though the 2 Vox items both went to Seal Team members (we did have a chance to roll for 1), Seal Team brought along a Santa Clause-esque character who brought us a bunch of prizes for folks to roll on, and most people in my group won some sort of equipment upgrade. That was both unexpected and classy.

A lot of folks around me were pretty giddy with the slaying of Vox. There were many screenshots being taken. Clearly this meant a lot for the players who would not normally have the chance to participate in a Classic-era dragon slaying.

They don't need the help ;)

The reason non-sheepish ppl are calling them out is cause they see through this tactic, Seal Team doesnt have the man power on this date to kill the dragons so they need you suckers to come help them kill the mobs while they are keeping all the good stuff and letting the lemons have the scraps, this is an old douchebag tactic that has been around for awhile, i remember a guild that did these "OPEN" raids for the community and then it turned out it was a guild with 12 ppl in it taking all the good loot and acting like they were doing the other ppl a favor when in fact it was the other way around. If you have no problem being used then by all means help them get their loot while you take the table scraps they allow you to have.

I really doubt this guild which almost certainly has more than 12 members needs the help of swarms of level 25 players to kill a 20 year old dragon they have already killed and have no competition for. Being condescending about your absurd claims does not give them more weight as you label people not throwing a fit as "sheepish" people taking table scraps.

[TripSin]

i mean if it doesn't take too long, I could be down maybe to be a zerg pawn or whatever to take scraps and see some dragons. but who wants to waste hours and exp hits from death (i'm presuming) to enable a select few others to get actually good stuff?

This was a great event, very hospitable hosts. Seal Team did an outstanding job organizing it and keeping everyone updated and safe. My brother and I {Bluenote}attended and got to experience taking down Lady Vox for the very first time, as well as winning some great loot throughout the entire raid. Here is a short video of the end, when we took down Lady Vox! Yeah I was holding the camera but still a blast!

Good on you guys for doing this, heard it was fun. Hope to see more in the future.

Don’t listen to the forum trolls. You run this server’s raid content, for better or worse, and in that position you didn’t have to do a damn thing for anyone else. Anyone should objectively be able to acknowledge that.

EQ is not typically a charity.

[Fragged]

It's amazing how much sand the avg. p99 vagina can hold.

On a more positive note. Good job guys. Brilliant Idea with Santaofclaws and the many giveaways throughout the raid.

Yeah, it's pretty sad. Maybe I am just out of touch but it sure seems like the whining has increased tenfold since the release of green/teal. People have always bitched and moaned here but there definitely seems to have been a massive boom in the snowflake population for sure.

Props to Seal Team for hosting this!

Respect to Seal Team.

Hey can someone please organize a large group of people so they can farm this guy some raid gear... Yeah he might not contribute a single thing to the event but he really needs raid gear.

While you guys are it can you also farm him some plat so he can twink out his alts?
