Raiding in BDA has never been a serious occupation.

You take it seriously but you're terrible, just admit it and get it out of the way.

Maybe so on Phinny, but back on good ole P99? They did well for "not taking it seriously" I thought [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i can't even imagine how "not raiding seriously works"

i mean i know slow raiding, which is because people suck or slack, but what is "not seriously" raiding?

you wipe a couple of times for the lulz and have people randomly afk for the comedy factor?

sounds great

I think the last time we fully wiped was our first attempt at Shei with a halfass turnout of like 40 people. Before that I can't even remember a wipe in Velious, maybe an early AoW attempt?

"Serious" raiding guilds have almost no vent chatter, no slack in the raid force. You do your job or you're called out or cut. You earn your dkp wages and you get your pixels. It's transactionary and sterile. I would say BDA is about as opposite from that environment as possible. To each their own.

"srs" guilds also have attendance requirements and force members to choose pixels over IRL sex

Usually the hardcore raid guilds do have some level of talking priority in voice chats, and people do get called out.

But in the state of current EQ, progression is a very small portion of the raiding you do. Most of the time is spent farming and every guild I've been in that would be considered hardcore on live doesn't really give many fucks what voicechat discusses during farming content until someone is being really loud/annoying or until a wipe happens because someone isn't listening.

I do miss Underfoot though. Was a solid 9 months of progression and difficult content.

I'm hoping GoD at level 65 provides a challenge and there are many wipes and adjustments to beating content, like EQ was meant to be.

As long as DB doesnt fuck us and release GoD/OoW at the same time. They should release LDoN/GoD instead.

[Daldaen]

Indeed. OoW and GoD together would be very sad.

Real hard Group content just doesn't exist and GoD provided that with Tipt, KodTaz and especially Ikkinz/Qvic. PoWater/Earth/Air had some decent Group content but GOD had the top tier RvR Group content that I can think of.

[mr_jon3s]

Im just hoping they combine Ldon and GoD because LdoN hardly brings anything to raiders while GoD brings nothing to casuals so it would be the perfect blend with casuals getting to do LDoNs and raiders getting to raid. Would also make it easier for people wanting to start up berserkers as they wouldnt have to rush to 70 if GoD/OoW were released together.
