    Grats all, RotE just recently finished too. Bit of a rough start.

    Sounds like next year no raids should make it to beta, just release them without beta testing them and then there may be a challenge with a random event being broken! Also guilds won't be able to learn all the raids on beta before they launch which could be neat.

    Fine job today everyone! Norrath is once again safe from the mad dragon and his spiteful plans..

    ..The moment you touch the device you sense a presence. All around this presence is the deepest cold, colder than you have ever imagined. The presence seems to be floating in pure silence. As you become aware of it, it becomes aware of you. As it begins to turn its attention to you a deep dread overcomes you and you pull away. The moment you flee the presence the device shuts down. Whatever that thing was, you know that it was beyond your comprehension..

    ..or is it?

    the best part about today was Arbiter didnt lock at 0% (there was a minor oh noes moment at 6% when we had to wait for the server to catch up from the lag and do the final duck emote)

    When you master all the raids on beta what do you expect?

    Why attempt being present in what I am doing if I know I am not going to be?

    People find the strangest reasons to log in. People, just quit if that's how people feel about the game. Quitting is not difficult. If you're struggling to pay attention you've already quit in everything but name. My word. :confused:

    To read this post, or a paraphrased version of it from you, several times a year.

    There is a lot of commendable work done to 'master' these events, and the vast majority is not done while actively raiding with a dev. And you should know that. You practice during practice so you win the game.

    And yet there is always an uncertainty due to possible last minute changes in mechanics, dmg outputs, spelling for emotes or reporting, event unlock variances/fails, crippling lag, etc that must be addressed on the fly. Which happen every year.

    Congratulations to everyone in your successes!

    here's how I see it, every raid force goes in with 54 people, that's 54 people coming together to have a communal project in a GAME . If they didn't find fun in it, they 1) wouldn't do that, nor 2) pay to do it.

    Now 7 raid forces (grats Valhallah and Triton) have now completed T3. 378 people have had fun, why try to take away from how they find their fun?

    Somebody needs to buy Absor (and every Dev with a hand in these raids) a beer.

    Yesterday was my first time in 20+ years taking a day off of work to participate in "the race". As someone who has been in the current content raid scene for the past XYZ expansions, I never understood why people would take a day off work to partake in "the race". Having now experienced it for the first time, I will say that there was definitely a buzz and excitement that I felt that was far different than logging on at 5:30pm and seeing five guilds already finished like I have seen in the past. It was the sense of the unknown, where everyone who wanted to participate started at the same time. Where you did not know where you were going to finish, and while ROI has finished first for the previous decade or so, and was expected to repeat with a first place finish... until it happens, there was always a chance that history may not repeat itself.

    So while I will always disagree with how the community ranks the guilds with a time stamp, I will admit that I did have a feeling of excitement and focus that I have not necessarily experienced before by starting right at 10am my time yesterday. And that was pretty fun and cool to experience.

    Grats to everyone. Regarding Kizant's video, great recovery by RoI during Arbiter. Looked intense!
