Clayton ... Why all the hate?

Can't you just let Divinity have a moment to enjoy the kill?

Does numbers really matter here or the fact that Divinity downed Vox?

Time to find something else to hate. Leave it be.

Hey Clayton, you know that 38 people in the zone included a bunch of IB, like 3 Fishbait, Abacab (Trans), and a GM as well, right?
(Oh, and I'm guessing we should count you too.)

And if your mad about the picture, don't blame us, that's Abacab's screenshot and this is his thread you are shitting up.

I think they did /who divinity chic. I'm pretty sure we had 38 or close to it.

I was able to count 35 in the pic. I think 2 or 3 people were running late and may not have made it all the way to Vox but I'm not sure.

That said, the zerg statement doesn't really hold water. We lost a couple of enchanters early (overzealous mana sieve or tash aggro I assume) and a mage I think due to the TT add/train. It's not like we went in with 38 and had 5 left by the time the fight was over.

And we had 38 show up so what were we supposed to do? Tell some to log off so we could get a bigger epeen?

this is so unbelieveable, all the QQ: SHUT THE HELL UP AND LEAVE THIS FORUM ALONE!! LEAVE IT ALONE!!! ALL YOU PEOPLE CARE ABOUT IS MAKING JOKES OUT OF IT!! LEAVE FORUM ALOOHOHOONE BUHUHUHUHU!!!

cant you just enjoy anything else than ranting on every friggn post? i could make a serious post that someone died, and the dark funny people would be like "what did he drop?" uh god that would start a rant festivel... actually it doesnt really matter WHAT you write, people here make a rant fest out of everything.. and this is kinda sad..
the only board you can look at without gettin a headache is the EC TUNNEL forum.. sad but true!

It was a guild-first kill and people were excited. A lot of people wanted to be there. Simple as that. Last I checked, we had 36 (2 came very late I think?) and IB had 31. So what? Had we failed, and IB killed her, are they a zerg too? We had 30 minutes to assemble and get our first shot a Vox, so people showed up to be a part of it.

Nice troll though, It's amazing that people can find something negative in any situation.

This.

Calling it a zerg because of the number of players that showed up is just ridiculous. Call it a zerg, rather, based on the number of players who died.

Handful of deaths on an AOE dragon != zerg.

Grats Divinity.

The immature negativity of some of these posts is ridiculous. You have no idea what Divinity is about, obviously. I knew some people would be upset that we killed Vox, but guess what? This wasn't about you. It was about us and we don't really care what anyone else thinks.

Edit: Just wanted to thank the ones with positive posts.

WHAT IS HAPPENING SOMEBODY EXPLAIN!

And grats. Good stuff, saw oodles and oodles of Divinity popping up at NK some day or two back, and figured something was going. Me loyal ogre scouts stationed in Perma reported folks parking there. =X

Transient was. That ugly bastish got a yak!

Make that less than 5 missing. If you're implying huge zerg, not so. And she went down without even 1 CH. Flawless execution from great leadership.

Look, All Clayton was pointing out was that there WAS 38 at the kill. There's nothing to be ashamed on downing Vox with 38, but the fact is some of your guildies tried to deny this (by either not knowing the facts or out of pride). That being said it's totally understandable since it would be even more retarded to number cap yourselves for the sake of proving something.

I'm very happy that you guys managed to down her, just unhappy as to how you got to attempt her. Where is the competitive spirit of racing to a mob? I'd hate to toss mud again in Trans's direction but this whole "if we can't race 'em camp 'em" mentality is just extremely lame.

After the whole rotation fiasco, rules were established to "allow" competitive racing. Players however are trying to bend this rule by flatly camping a boss. This is the part where I lose all respect to any camping raiding guilds. I mean why bother with the first to mobilize AFTER a boss spawns rule if your going to be sitting there WITH a 72 HOUR WINDOW?

All that camping for manastone wasn't enough? Is this the next evolution? Let's get random 15 players to sit for a cloak of flames? Isn't it easier and more efficient to setup a tracking rotation and allow the rest of your guildies to go on their lives and be summoned when needed? This is where it baffles me when people accuse us of being "too" hardcore. Seriously, I may be dedicated enough to log on when texted (while not being busy in RL) but to sit there online and willling to wait 72 hours for a Dragon to pop is a whole new level of "hardcore".

If responding to a call of logging on is half retarded then camping a boss is fully retarded. I'm dying to get out of this limited content cluster fuck, Sky will see to that more or less until Kunark comes out. So no I'm not all butt hurt about Div getting Vox, losing bosses to competing guild was a reality waiting to happen. It's just the manner of how we lost is what bothers me and how the future raiding guild will evolve.

This btw isn't an "IB" only issue but something all raiding guilds need to consider. Is mass zerg recruiting and having 15 players in all boss zones 24/7 the next step in raid evolution? Are we going to be doing camp check for bosses in OOC? You might think this is an exaggeration but I can see how all this could unfold within the next 3months or so. My stance is to discourage camping, having boss mobs being reduced to a camp check just doesn't seem right in so many levels. I don't have answers to 'fix' this issue, the only thing I can think of is to REALLY increase the time variance to such a retarded extent that camping would not be viable (that would mean less bosses for the whole server).

So don't think of this post as being all bitter over losing a dragon. I'm happy for Divinity (those that know me online know I'm a reasonable guy). The zerg doesn't bother me, the camp certainly does. I've said my piece so troll away.
