How's the raid scene nowadays?

[Albanwr]

The raid scene is more about elf court on the UN and writing story length petitions and less about killing.

Pretty inaccurate, Kingdom and ST have showed healthy competition last few cycles and especially on the 3 day Trakanons as of late. Both appear to compete heads up for prime targets and not pick targets based on bag limits.

BL/Ven on the other hand actively set their raid targets based solely on what ST is bagged on during a week... and then break major server rules to down the dragon knowing they can just concede the next two weeks they were not going to compete for anyways.

If any of this were true, you would see either one of them at a target at the same time. Instead, on earthquakes they stay as far from each other as possible. neither one will go into the same zone as each on an earthquake, and for some reason Kingdom (despite having as many keys as seal team) will not contest dragons in VP. Is there a rotation or understanding that kingdom wont go into VP because seal team is letting them have trakanon uncontested?

You mean zerg scene?

But big and the antithesis of competition if true. That would mean there are zero competitive guilds on Green.

If true I would agree. However, Kingdom doesnt have the same force as seal team does in vp. Trakanon is very much competitive and fun to experience. Should have seen how many guilds ended up in TD in hopes to pick up fte on this last 'quake'. Big gratz to Castle and Safe Space on that kill!

[Tunabros]

personally raiding is super fun as shit (kinda the whole point of EQ?)

even if the scene is kinda bullshit

the excitement is real but it can suck sometime

[drackgon]

Raid scene is whats to be expected. Bag limits have been a nice change for casual raiders. Though will say the quaking is horrid. 90% of player base is working adults. But they love to quake during 10am-1pm. Meaning only those who work evenings, or don't work have a chance.

No idea what server you play on but move to RNF if you want to just make up stuff. Kingdom contests every Sev and every Trak that ST does.

I don't think you understand the concept of an earthquake if you think guilds are supposed to just follow eachother around.

ST also had 96 players in VP two weeks ago I can promise you Kingdom has no where close to 96 keyed raiders and probably not even 96 active raiders on at any time.

The raid scene has been pretty good as of late no where near the peak of blue during kunark era but you also had many more years of kunark era on blue for other guilds to develop and compete.

The raid scene feels incredibly staged. ST killed something like 35 Trak's straight before Kingdom was able to get 1. Then suddenly ST started to frequently 'mess up' on Trak engages and Kingdom started to win.

If you watched any of the failed engages by ST the 'mistakes' were pretty blatant. We (Kingdom) are a small but mighty guild and we don't need freebies!!
