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.

Meanwhile, last week in Night of Shadows

Night of Shadows – Tier one – Week one

As AOU had spent some considerable minutes, nay, hours, looking at Night of Shadows tier one raids in Beta, it came to no ones surprise that we beat two of the three events on our first tries, and the third event the next day.

All three of these raids i’ve covered in some detail with the beta testing, so no real need to flog my own log saying the same old shit time and time again.

The first event, something something insect something. Is the one with the giant screaming ant thing, as we beat this easily on beta, it was our first target and proved to be equally easy live.

Most guilds with even an half-awake raidforce should be able to beat it with little difficulty.

The second event with quadruple helpings of Tony Tiger showed that just navigating Shar Val to be a challenge, but equally quite beatable, however, guilds may require a fully awake raidforce to win !

And the third event, in the Pit, is just a graphics test for older machines, see how much crap you can cram in to a small area, and not immediately goose your tanks when the action is triggered.

We didn’t spend too much time with this one in Beta, so a portion of it was unknown, not that it really mattered in the end as them ugly goblinoids took a dirt nap when we figured out where and when the players needed to not AFK.

And now we wait, knocking out these events every week now until the next tier goes live.
