Terror of Luclin the final chapter’ish

TOL Close the Gate

The gate is closed

Ayy we did it, and on the hardest possible mode (they nerfed headshots/assassinate etc)

A challenging event being the most emote heavy and offtanking trash i’ve seen.

It didn’t help learning to have it locked behind that awful sex tentacle vampire thing which is on my shittest of the shit events list.

Just a shame the Venril Sathir event has gone, that was decent, with perfect RVR.

 

Not a lot else to say, I guess I could go on to make a recruitment post, but recruitment is always open unless you are a class we have a ton of.

“Are you tired of your guild constantly wiping to trivial stuff because the masses don’t follow instructions, or do you think your guildleadership are assholes and have a roster turnover higher than the McDonalds Travis Scott meals on a none school day, then AOU is for you.!”

Blah blah blah, we beat it, its shit lol, now onto the crappy few achievements we are missing, sorry not much else to say, and i’m not well – I won’t go into details, but its messy and smelly.

TOL Live Episode 3

Terror of Luclin Tier 3

(and bonus anniversary content)

Long have I waited,

So then, its tier 3 time, with the first event “Basilica of Adumbration  –  Oubliette of Light”, which we got to beta test all the way back in October last year.

Not a lot seemed to have changed since we tested it with Absor, testament for a fine developer and a bunch of clowns finding a few bugs.

Umber and Fade still roll, and the animation never gets old.

oh, and the spooky thing at the end is still creepy af.

The other Tier 3 events take place in Bloodfalls, one gated behind the other, which is ironic as it involves a gate.

The first one, some shitty vampire thing, is one of my least favourite events in EQ to date.

due to the mechanics, to make controlling the ticks easier, we have to bunch up, therefore, my view of the raid for most of it is, just a mass of players

And the final, which at the point of writing, we have not beaten yet, is a whole load of HODOR, I will do another news update to cover that.


Also, its the time of year for the Anniversary event, we are blessed with a leap back in time of 22 years, visiting Karnors for Venril Sathir.

A sweet little event, with better loot than anything else current, at a fraction of the difficulty, and yes, Venril dropped his pants for us.

And finally, extra bonus content, just some ego push because his screenshot got dropped down from the last report, Xyko with a bunch of dummies

TOL Live Episode 2

Terror of Luclin Tier 2

A delayed update since the last news for many reasons, main one being slackness from me,

Previously on AOU Raids…. Tol tier 1 was 2/3rds beaten, with only the swarmcaller to best, and at the time I considered it the harder event of the three in the zone.

naturally, as is tradition, the event was cleared the day after the news report was published, and we have gone on to regularly farm the first three raids with ease.

Im now of the opinion that Swarmcaller is by far the easiest of the three and i’m amazed it took us a couple of days to figure it out.


Of course, that wasn’t the only thing we did before Tier 2 went live.

Due to the incessant whining of this guy, and his unnatural obsession with crap ornaments, we returned to an older event of last year and finished up some dumb drake achievement to unlock a selection of not so special junk to put on weapons.

Now thats all done with, we can move on to Tier 2 of TOL, which we beat in the first couple of days of it going live.

Shei we had experienced to a small degree in Beta with Absor, so we had a perhaps 20% advantage on how the event works, a lot of running about in a small room, not my favourite…

Gouranga !, Free the Goranga, again we saw a little in Beta, this time without Absor, giving us a 30% advantage on how to deal with the raid, I quite like this one.

And finally Aten Ha Ra, which we didn’t see at all in Beta, so we had to work to learn it, delaying beating the tier by a couple of days.

Good to see we are in full swing of the expansion, and can see the backend of the previous expansions Fatass events like Tantor and the pastie eating golem
