The Outer Brood T2.3

More Dragon Arse

The last part of TOB T2 is Hazuri, a sub tier upon itself which cannot be attempted until the dock event is down and on lockout, I hate that type of tier events.

While Dock is a hard raid, it doesnt come close to this thing, and as is seemingly a reoccurring aspect of this expansion, due to the mechanics of the event, along with the size of the mob and its hitbox size, its another Dragon Arse event.

Im sure the when the devs design these things they dont take into account the sheer stupidity of it, and there should be a balance between doing the event efficiently, and being able to actually see what you and a majority of the guild is doing, I suppose its biased towards the 3rd person viewer perspectives, which seems to be more and more increasingly common, but if I wanted to look at a game like Diablo, then il’d play Diablo.

besides the aesthetic of current raiding trends being irritating to me, its imperative that events actually work correctly, which I think might not be quite there for this one.

I hope Error is a player and not an add, which isn’t appearing, which would make this event even harder, guess we will see if/when its patched – which might be already done, might be next week, might be next year.

Anyway, we beat it in its raw state which was impressive considering we didn’t get to betatest this at all, and hopefully it gets fixed for the better and not just another dollop of lets block out 90% of the playerbase by putting in untested detail making it next to impossible to win further down the line.

The Outer Brood – T2

This is where the fun begins !

With Tier 2 of the Outer Brood there is a noticeable step up in difficulty to the raid, coupled with the additional changes since testing in Beta, it was a welcome feeling of challenge when facing these raids.

The first of these, something something cannons something, is another “fight dragon/avoid cannons” with the same enjoyability of melee get to stare at a dragons arse for a percent of the event.

assuming you can even see the dragon in the mass of players.

Anyway, quite a fun event with lots going on that we got super unlucky with on the first day wiping at 3% (and a few other attempts that otherwise went pear-shaped due to some bad luck)


And anyway, onto the next event, the one with the flying whale and rolling boulder (is there even a explanation in the event about that boulder?, I missed it if there is).

A slightly easier event than the previous one in my opinion, still difficult, and again we got so close to beating it first try.

Highlight of the event was the endboss floating in midair above the pit for a while and warping all over, before leaving his corpse there being as active and as threatening as he was alive.

more soon…
