Night of Shadows – Achievements

Night of Shadows and the art of prolonging the interest.

After “some” months of trying to get the odd achievements that are not instantly granted on winning a raid in the standard way, Age of Unity finally ticked off the last box – “Pit fight – Stay close”.

A slightly more difficult than average achievement for a couple of reasons,

One being you have to bunch up in the majority (which is an alien concept to many raiders) and suffer the effects of whichever dumb bosses aura you are fighting in, while avoiding the ae death from above rainbow of shit from killing you during the first one.

The other reason being the rainbow of shit avoiding has an achievement in itself, which AOU tried many times to get before attempting this last one, less said about that whole dollop of playing the better.

Due to this raid being pretty boring visually, my enthusiasm on taking any screenshots for the news was lacking, and i’ve already posted screenshots of this event anyway.

However knowing that we will have to repeat this achievement for those members who were not online that night (or benched, or just afk) gives me reason to post a pic of Sarryn (who wasn’t online) looking into the cave where this event takes place, whatever goes on in this cave is subject to much speculation in the guild, and Ouklaol wasnt online either.

So, that is probably it for now, until the next expansion.

Phase three in the Night of Shadows

Luclin Evil 3

Welcome back, my friends
To the show that never ends
We’re so glad you could attend
Come inside! Come inside

There behold the Owlbear of glass
Appear a real assortment of creature that looks like ass
Be careful as you pass
Move along! Move along

 

 

Come inside, the show’s about to start
Dusk to Dawn should we keep apart
Rest assured you’ll earn your loots worth
The second event with midnight not on this Earth

You’ve got to see the show, as long as you are not benched
You’ve got to see the show, face the mobs henched

Right before your eyes
We’ll root the spooks from the skies
And she laughs until she cries
Then she dies, then she dies.

 

And with that, it might as well be old Macdonald.

The Second Night of Shadows

Its February 

Twas the second phase of Nos, within a selection of zone,
Many a new raid was happening, including a shape changing Cone;
The apparitions came forth by the guild we did beat,
In hopes that the Butterfly form was not Temort, which he thought was neat.


The raiders became all smug in their heads,
While an army of Mushrooms paraded to us complete with legs;
And the Star in their grandeur, with I disregarding flusterbolt root,
Had learned the AOU way to give up the myconids loot,

When a distance noise alerted us to a third event,
We sprang tward the hubbub to investigate the scent.
For first away on bench did I retreat like a flash,
But on our second try the day later did we receive the cache.

The boss before us was a giant tiger not named Tony
Gave the guild flashbacks of phase ones phoney,
When colours he did change, we found could be breached.
To the end of tier two we had reached.

 

And without context Rhyme did we revisit an old raid,
But tactics forgotten, half the attendees got played.
