Ill do things for that ring.... Many unnatural things that would make my mother rip out her own heart.

[debo]

Looks like the value of my wiz 7 ring just fell through the floor lol.

[RazorrX]

WHOOOT! Way to go! Awesome effort and killer loot!

[Yaga_Nub]

Very nice job. Grats guys and gals.

Put on AH NOW!!!!!!! Alot of folks dont use forums.

[Cherry]

nice work

[Borror0]

Oh, and I'd just like to add it is the shortest raid ever... took 8 minutes to beat it, and only two tries. The longest part is getting there through the explorer.

[PhoenixFire31]

Very nice job...now go kill the other boss! :p :D

[bobbryan2]

Very nice job...now go kill the other boss! :p :D

I have to work today. :(

No horned devil for me for hours and hours.

The only one wearing a chain shirt is the chain shirt graphic .. generic ugly graphic .. but ..nice chain shirt

[mudfud]

Bah all these wasted posts. Just interested in a screenshot of armor...

[Borror0]

Of course, he sent you the one I was facing back to the picture, eh?

Borror...must have used intimidate FTW

jrp



nice job taking it down

[debo]

one chest?

[bobbryan2]

one chest?

2 normal small ones and the big raid chest.

[alans240]

Well that' disappointing to say the least. Was hoping since there were only 2 new high level quests that they would at least be a challenge. :(

8 mins for a what level 17 or 18 RAID???? Come on Devs you can do better.


Does the raid have the standard 3 day timer?

[Hyldr]

how does crippling work on armor? Does it automaticly add the crippling aspect to the weapon you have, or is it like if the enemy hits you they have a chance to get crippled?

Nice lootz btw.

it adds it to your weapons....

[Vorn]

Congrats!!!

Can someone please post what the new loot specs for those of us stuck at work on computers that block the pictures? I want to be green with envy as well!:)

great, another reaver raid... this is ridiculous.
Why doesn't Turbine jsut mail one of each loot to every level 16. might as well.

Farmers to your starting blocks... On your mark, get set,,,,,,,,,

Personally, I like the variety. The Shroud was long and involved (but fun). I like having another short one in there too.

[Missing_Minds]

Wonder if the ring's effect on empower stacks with Skiver.

[Retsam]

[bnrilfun]

Grats guys and gals.

Once again shows the great power of Thelanis. All you devs who put your money in the wrong servers owes Thelanis 1 weekend of +3 Loot levels on chests :D

I love the fact that it was a mixed group of guilds / toons.... nice job.

[augie]

Very cool. Congrats to all!

[bobbryan2]

I love the fact that it was a mixed group of guilds / toons.... nice job.

Well yeah, that's the way we got the raids opened in the first place.

:)

[smatt]

Hmmmm, you all must've kidnapped those NBA refs that gave Boston the game last night :)


All kidding aside, nice job Thelanis!

[Borror0]

oh come on i don't even get an honorable mention? :(

Yeah, you were there the first time we went there and had to coem back because some people forgot to grab the quest.

Thanks for scouting ahead.


I love the fact that it was a mixed group of guilds / toons.... nice job.

Well we just picked a bunch of friends and beat it. :)

[tihocan]

How long does it take to get to the raid entrance, btw?

[bobbryan2]

How long does it take to get to the raid entrance, btw?

Took us about 20-30 minutes, I want to say. That can really be cut down. Lot of fumbling and afks, etc. It wasn't all that far in the grand scheme of things, it's just a matter of knowing where to go.

[stockwizard5]

Congrats to the group and our guildies/exguildies

Given the mix (and I know most of you have better characters) - this raid is clearly intended for the entire server which is great ...

[Borror0]

great, another reaver raid... this is ridiculous.

I'd compare it to the Titan rather. Anyway, trying for second completion... NOW! :)

[MysticTheurge]

Uh... so what's the actual Hound of Xoriat look like?

Just an oversized Thaarak hound or something?

[bobbryan2]

Uh... so what's the actual Hound of Xoriat look like?

Just an oversized Thaarak hound or something?

Yep, basically. A big Thaarak hound.

[MysticTheurge]

Yep, basically. A big Thaarak hound.

Well that gets a big old "meh."

[Strumpoo]

For those who think this is too short...

I have a feeling that the horned devil will be MUCH harder than the hound!


Gratz on beating it guys/gals.

[Borror0]

Well that gets a big old "meh."

It's a little different.

[Yaga_Nub]

It's a little different.

Isn't there already a large hound in the game?

[Kalvantus]

The Hound

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f188/Kalvantus/hound.jpg

Fail on second try (3rd?), There needs to be a lot of coordination with your team.
Or maybe just luck :D

I don't think we can quote this list enough in this thread. :)

Seriously, great job everyone!

Getting that shield down was a lot more fun than I suspected, too.

[Borror0]

We're going for a second time... anyone on right now? We'd need a third cleric.

[Muirtach]

Loading in now Borr

[Varr]

But that hound looks bad a@@!

[Borror0]

Sorry, we're full.

[chewwook]

With no halflings? How dare you! You would have twice as much loot with halfling luck!

[MysticTheurge]

The Hound

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f188/Kalvantus/hound.jpg

Ok, that's a bit more fun that "just an oversized thaarak hound" even though they bear striking similarities.

[Borror0]

We had Retsam, but he bailed on us... blame him.

[Ranmaru2]

The hound is also IMMUNE to all Weapon Procs...so those shroud weapons just became garbage in this raid...

[Accelerando]

Who even cares. We had a Guild on Ghallanda beat the Abbot this week. :rolleyes:

Grats on the hound kill and thanks for the screenies! :D

[Kalvantus]

The hound is also IMMUNE to all Weapon Procs...

And has over run.

[Zaodon]

The hound is also IMMUNE to all Weapon Procs...so those shroud weapons just became garbage in this raid...

Do you mean he is immune to the "Burst" of plan old Acid Burst? Or do you mean he is immune to Disintegrate proc, Lignhtning Blast proc, etc (i.e. the "super" procs) ?

[bobbryan2]

Ok, that's a bit more fun that "just an oversized thaarak hound" even though they bear striking similarities.

Well, wasn't trying to say he didn't look cool. Just that he... was a big thaarak hound. :)

Definately was a little more... I dunno, Frankensteiny. The beholder outside the quest was saying that he was built as an experiment or something. Was a lot of lore to take in right at the foot of entering the quest.

[Borror0]

Well, this isn't as easy as you think it is... at least for now. It takes a lot of coordination.

We failed for the second time, this time with a mostly pugged group... that was... interesting. There is a storm of Renders coming left and right, along with Mindflayers and beholders... and there is a little puzzle a la Titan to maintain and it's not easy... at least for now. Oh, and AoE spells can make you fail the raid. So far, it's a challenge.

[Velorn]

Great job guys!! Wish I could be there with ya...soon enough though...soon enough:D

[Sharzade]

It's a thrill that the Hound was defeated! :D I love that many guilds were part of the win; Yay for teamwork. :)

Cheers,

Sharzade

[lissa_981]

Woot! And now you're all out of new content! Enjoy the wait til the next mod. :rolleyes:

[Ranmaru2]

Bursts and Blasts work, but the procs he's immune to. Your 1000 dmg Lightning blast is a sparkler to him now :p

[Borror0]

This comment makes me laugh, but I can't explain why without giving spoilers.:p

[Borror0]

Second completion, lead me and by Metalik from Brotherhood of Blood Xoriat, really nice run of 9 minutes.

Mostly BoBX and A few guys from Giant Slayers Inc. Thanks to all. As for the loot, well the Ring and the Chain Shirt from the first run... plus this Breatplate:

http://img.enterwiki.net/images/thumb/397px-Breastplate_of_Destruction.JPG

[ShadowFox1978]

Wow!! I think my ranger will be wearing armor again......

[Turial]

Wonders if there will be a +5 mithral full plate with protection 4 + weapon spec in this raid...

[Lithic]

Wow!! I think my ranger will be wearing armor again......

that could have been +1 hide armour, and I know alot of people who would still wear it :D Armour that basically gives you +4 to hit everything? hell yes!

[Borror0]

Wonders if there will be a +5 mithral full plate with protection 4 + weapon spec in this raid...

Most likely.

[Borror0]

I'm about to try the other one now... anyone up for it, got at least one spot open.

[Yaga_Nub]

Holy ****, so there's no timer on this guy at all. Very nice loot run.

[Borror0]

There is a timer, but I got more than a toon you know?

I did the raid on Borror and on Heiken, now I want to try the other one.

You have more than one character? No way!

[Borror0]

You have more than one character? No way!

I swear.

[Twerpp]

GJ GUYS! I am very freakin jealous here sitting at work! The armors are insane!!! Hope theres a robe/outfit with similar melee goods on it!!

[Blazer]

I swear.

Of course you swear, you're Canadian. :p

[Velorn]

GJ GUYS! I am very freakin jealous here sitting at work! The armors are insane!!! Hope theres a robe/outfit with similar melee goods on it!!

No kidding Twerpp....very jealous here too....come on guys...save some phat loots for me!! I want my +5 MFP of Uberness:D:D And that ring would look pretty sweet on Krule's finger.:D

[Borror0]

Well, at least you're on Thelanis.. and in IFV, so you'll have access to the knowledge, which Ghallanda won't.:p

[debo]

where is the screenshot of the breastplate? you guys are slacking.

[MysticTheurge]

Aw man, there goes the market on +5 mithral armor... ;)

Sell that stuff off quick!

[Borror0]

where is the screenshot of the breastplate? you guys are slacking.

Complain to Shin.

[aurus33]

Well, at least you're on Thelanis.. and in IFV, so you'll have access to the knowledge, which Ghallanda won't.:p

What? you mean is not on the wiki already?? :)

[Borror0]

What? you mean is not on the wiki already?? :)

Nah, I would not want spoilers about the raid floating everywhere before Argo can attempt it.

Btw, a guildie was in a grp that completed the other one. I'm about to step in it.

[aurus33]

hehe

I am sure we'll get it done tonight! :)

Come on fellows from ghallanda, move on and get back to work! ;) I mean, to raid!

[Korvek]

Nah, I would not want spoilers about the raid floating everywhere before Argo can attempt it.

Thank you. Seriously, thanks, I hate everyone talking about how to do a raid before I get a chance at trying my hand at it.

[maddmatt70]

Congrats, on your accomplishment. Not to diminish your accomplishment in the slightest, but I am pretty disappointed in this raid unless this raid on elite proves to have alot more to it. The completion time for this raid is between 5-10 minutes and I could actually see people soloing this raid eventually. The most difficult aspect of the raid is making sure not to get lost on the way out there to the raid which is disappointing in and of itself, but a bigger disappointment is how short and brief it is. The Reaver is 2 times as long from a time standpoint for godsake.

[Borror0]

Sorry if this sounds rude, but, have you done it?

Because this raid will be hell of something to complete, at least to my eyes. The beholders wil make it very hard to solo for anyone, even more because [spoilers]. From the way we do it, it uses most of the group. I could see it getting done with less, but quite honestly, if it's soloed I'll be surprised. I don't say it's impossible but it won't be easy. Besides, spellcasters, both clerics and arcanes, have it very hard at the beginning too because [spoilers].

Lastly, the overrun from the hound is huge, getting everything that's needed while fighting against the hound will be, imo, very complicated.

I have done it and yes I think it will eventually be soloable. I even have some ideas on the type of class and how they would do it...

pfffttt... just bring a bunch of rogues with Way of the Thief Acrobat II, they're immune to the overrun :)
