[Thriand]

(Combat): You killed Black Abbot.

[Lithic]

Any particular reason theres no screenshot of your completion time? Or course theres a reason. And I think we all know what that reason is :/

[KatanAztar]

Grats. Glad all those months of practice paid off.

[Bornwinter]

Any particular reason theres no screenshot of your completion time? Or course theres a reason. And I think we all know what that reason is :/

Honestly, I think we all forgot to take one. Ill post a completion time in 3 days ;)

[Thriand]

Umm... because we forgot.... 3 days from now I'll show you the time.

but really? WHAT is the reason? obviously you know something we don't

Can't you just be happy for our achievement? I mean really thats just unnecessary

[roggane]

loot? same?

grats!

[Thriand]

loot? same?

grats!

The staff of the petitioner dropped, it was exactly the same except there is an addition concentration +5 on it and Bornwinter beat me out on the roll. (we all know born uses loaded dice)

This means that the items have changed, but so far it doesn't seem to be a huge deal

[Charlemagne2]

Maybe others will follow and actually attempt it!

once again gratz

[Twerpp]

You guys rock! Can I join your guild?!

[brshelton]

When Exodus comes they will be so great in so many different ways, that everything that we ever thought was kool, will then make us ashamed.

[Garth_of_Sarlona]

Grats guys - very impressive achievement.

I recommend you continue running the Abbot. In fact, your whole server should run it for at least the next few days anyway.

Lol, we have been working hard on the all the raids. After a WHOLE day of beating up the Queen, Titan, Shroud and Dragon, we figured, hey, why not, Abbot is bugging us and he deserves to die... well I would hope that fellow members of our Server go after this raid, but if you have not had allot of practice, just wait till we open the new raids and win the server race!

[zoltan00]

Here it is yo for all the haters hahaha

Well, screenshot shows 9 members in your raid team. OP mentions only 7....so my question is...why do the two things not match up. Either its a previous screenshot, or something is awry.

I'm not trying to me mr. negative, I just...I dunno usually prefer tightly wrapped packages and inconsistencies like this are distracting.

The other people joined to talk and weren't in the raid Only 7 were in the original raid and 8 in the second.

I mean really we can't invite friends to tell them about our victory. its been almost a year since anyone on this server has beaten this guy we were quite happy and wanted to spread the news.

[Bornwinter]

As requested, I have taken a completion shot after our second victory tonight.

[Atax]

Congrats guys. The obvious question is.. what dropped? :P

Grats you guys.

But I sure hope you're all on timers for the rest of the raids. We've made a point in our guild of waiting until the new content is unlocked before attempting the Abbot. Ghallanda is in first place and I aim to keep it that way! :cool:

Ghallanda FTW!!!!!!

Awesome, well congrats on completing what a lot of people cry is impossible to beat. Great work!

[serpentwave]

We have beat/practiced the Abbott so much it has become second nature. These Runs will soon go to Elite, but many more to come in
the next couple of days :)
Thx Again everyone!!
and.... we have made sure we kept busy today as well with 3xQueen, 3xDragons & 1xTitan for our contribution for the day with many more tommorow..

GOOOOOOO Ghallanda!! ;)

[Elvish_Ranger]

hey born my wizard only needs the cinnis side of preraid think you guys can help me run that then let me join in the raid

[Deragoth]

I'm glad the devs dialed this down a smidge. I'm looking forward to running this regularly. Excellent job, guys.

[moorewr]

Congratulations!

(Hopefully Thelanis will be back to working on this after the new raid and monk flurry slows down. I'm still sitting one pre-raid away..)

[rpasell]

Would you be willing to take a PuGer along? I'd like to see this done, and how to pass the knowledge along. PM me if this would be something you'd do I have a couple rangers keyed and I think my Cleric is keyed as well.

[aurus33]

WTG!!! CONGRATZ!!!!

And I'll be happy to help within 2 days to get it done again.

[Chameleo]

Awesome job you guys!!

I knew you would have it beat come this morning. I checked in here to see how many times and what dropped. ;)

Sorry I couldn't hang last night, darn thing called work is kicking my ass lately!

[Rekker]

Grats !

[Crarites]

Congratulations.

[Justicar]

Very nice job to all the homies in Exodus.

YOU!!

Back into the Titan, Dragon, Shroud, and Queen!

Tokens! That is your only focus! :p





Nice work Exodus! Good to see people still go in that raid! I do want to see it someday, just sooo many tokens to get at the moment! . /Sigh:D

[Coldest]

Good work Exodus.

You may stay on Fernia I mean Ghallanda now. Ok, now back to the queen and shroud.

[jmonty]

man, i'd love to run that raid; after all this time i still haven't. i think my ranger is ready. if anyone is gonna do it today after the hot fix or tomorrow during the day and needs a hand please shoot me a pm on the forum.

[Sweets]

Any particular reason theres no screenshot of your completion time? Or course theres a reason. And I think we all know what that reason is :/

Well it looks like you got your screen shot of not one run but two.So the "I think we all know what that reason is "Quote really makes you look like a sore azz.Too funny lmao at your expense.Great job Exodus proud to say I run with ya's.

[LordDeath]

GRATZ Guys

Alll that hard work and you killed him.

U GUYS ROCK

[Clay]

nice job. wtg!

[Pellegro]

Great news !!!

I can't wait to finally get to try this one ...

[Egrebs]

Same, it would be nice to see this one finally.

[Gratch]

Gratz Exodus.

Now... back to the shroud. Tuesday morning timers should be clearing late tonight. ;)

I thought DDO Korea {Season II} had been running Abbot regularly... I've seen quite a few of them with Abbot loot... though maybe it's all from the prepuzzle days. Heh... I figured Abbot was the only raid that wasn't boring for them. ;)

[Twerpp]

Good work Exodus.

You may stay on Fernia I mean Ghallanda now. Ok, now back to the queen and shroud.

LMAO yep I wondered why we didn't name it Fernia just by virtue of it not being a totally ******** name, what the hell is a Ghallanda anyway? Fernia is the Plane of Fire and a very tastey Festivus Cake as well. :D :D :D

I have some shroudage to knock out myself tonight if anyones on Hawaii time it will be kinda late. Hard to concentrate on that when there was a chest on the server somewhere I had yet to ever open!

[Impaqt]

8 Kills in the FIrst one and 23 In the second???

The Black Abbot Got so overconfident he FIred all his Minions?

Well a 7 man team probably spent most of their time in the puzzles not killing and respawning **** and Im guessing the poor guy left in the dirt...took a dirt nap for a while. A-DUH! You are hating because you obviously have no clue how this raid works and haven't attempted it enough to work that out for yourself.

Gratz Exodus you will continue to have the full hate of the haters for what they can't and don't even bother to attempt...once again. Here's an invite to this years Playa Haters Ball! See you in the new raid. Probably first...or will DDO Korea do it?

lol, My Tier 4 Silver Flame Helm would beg to difer.
There was nohate in my response, Only surprise on how few mobs there were.

[Thrann]

Grats on beating the abbot,Very nice to see other ppl going at it and getting it done.I was part of the first group who beat it with the 3 puzzle rooms, and back then it was not to fun,Question i have is i see in your screen shot that it seem like it took u a bit longer then when we beat it.And i know they have made some changes but, did u all get it on first pass or had to go for 2nd or 3rd pass to beat it?


~Thrann

[Ilandrya]

Congrats to my fellow Exodus guildies/friends ( I wasn't on = ( )

So, the important question remains... what does that fourth tier/trinket turn in sup dev VI helm LOOK like? = P

I can't answer this because I wasn't on last night when they ran it, but this isn't the first time Exodus has done it successfully... they also beat it after mod 5 came out before it was changed. As for the exact dates, completion times on the original defeats during mod 5, I'm not sure... Born may have archives of that somewhere maybe or maybe it's still on the forums and it didn't get deleted when they "lost" some of the older forum content awhile back during one of Turbine's maintenance sessions. I think some of the changes that were made to it are still in place, so if you are looking to compare completion times, I don't think you can do so between runs done pre and post the changes implemented after mod 5 cuz it's not the same run. Maybe it's because I'm female and I have an assertive nature rather than a competitive one, but I personally have never really cared about stuff like that... best times, who did what first, etc... just happy to see them complete it because it gives hope that what was once considered uncompletable and therefore was a useless endeavor on the part of the Devs is now completable again, and hopefully others will now be spurred on to attempt it so that this raid will actually see some use and not be wasted code. It shouldn't be an easy raid... it's a Lich for deities sake, and one on the verge of God-hood to boot, but there is no point to making something so difficult it's not completable or discourages people to the point they won't run it.

Well i look it at this with the way i wrote that..Like i first said was grats to them on beating it cause i know its a hard raid,And with me asking about the completion time was more on how the tactic they went at in it,like for example in the group i did it with what we did was if we did not get phase room on first try, we would recall out and redo, so i was looking to see more of the tactics they went with/compared to ours..:)

[Kale_Hagan]

Massive congratulations! I just want to give kudos to you guys. I don't have the time to work on raids like you guys do, so I give credit where it's due.

Khyber rulz!

[Accelerando]

I will never forgive you. Maybe if we had been beaten by 10 hours, but 10 mins. :mad:

[Bornwinter]

Check this out, nice Ranger item. It holds 1500 of any arrow, no limit to any one type!

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2nrq2s6&s=3

Yes we beat all 3 puzzles in one pass, or we just recall out.
