Anyone on Argo beaten the Abbot?

[KaKa]

Just wondering if our fair server has been able to defeat the black abbot yet. No "Bragging" at all just wondering.

[oronisi]

I haven't heard of anyone yet...but then again, we aren't allowed to brag about it on the forums. I can say that LK is close! Next time we get 12 people on to try it I think we have a good shot at beating it. I think that goes for alot of guilds. If nobody here has beaten him yet, I'd expect it to happen before the end of the weekend. Death to the Abbot!

[Yaga_Nub]

....Death to the Abbot!

He's already dead.

[Kistilan]

He's already dead.

Now that's funny.

[Aspenor]

He's already somewhat but not completely yet dead.

fixed for you, yaga

My guild hasn't made much effort to do it lately. It's kind of a crappy raid with mostly crappy drops. The things that drop in the orchard are MUCH better then the raid items. The Abbot is mostly a luck raid, its not really skill imo. I'd like to beat it.....but I'm in no rush to do so.

That seems to be the general consensus. I would like to have that staff and the Litany of the Dead on my wizard, maybe a few copies of The litany if possible....but its primary usefulness won't come about until he has a +3 int tome in him, 36 int ftw....

I agree with Asp. A lot of people in OD are pushing to get raid ready (and we have a ton that are) and they want to get into the raid. I feel bad that I can't be more on board with flagging but I've just heard to many bad stories about bugs, bad design of the raid, and issues with the side quests that make having a perfect internet connection and voice ability a must which I don't agree with. As such I'm going to keep playing my awesome new WF wizzy and get into the raid in my own sweet time.

Seems like getting my guildies all raid ready is a freaking nightmare. It's virtually impossible to get a 6 man group to stay together long enough to get them all tagged for pre-raid. By the time I get 1 or 2, maybe 3 ready, one person drops and another person with a nearly empty sigil joins in.

And too many people are playing lowbies to get enough people in on the raid, it seems.

----> in a realtime mmo you should have a top of the line computer and top of the line connection if you want have a perfect gaming experience

and voice ability a must which I don't agree with
----> i cant understand why people type, so inneficient...but maybe people dont want their identity open via voice?


the raid is a wild ride and takes massive coordination and voice chat is an absolute must..you must at least have sound on for it to hear coordination..be prepaired to DIE

[Aspenor]

..be prepaired to DIE

Oh I am, I'm fully prepared for the aching hours it will take to get people used to the twitch necessary to beat that guy. Apparently some of my friends have almost perfectly figured out two of the puzzles (not the goggles), but I haven't been around to see it. I might have some misleading info there too, who knows how well they've got it down I'm just getting a little annoyed with it all. Beating the raid isn't a priority for me, but I'd like to at least try it on my HOME server soon.

But that goes against the living in mommys basement theory.

I choose not to use Voice Chat when I PuG. I tend to swear A LOT when I get frustrated with the average PuG idiot. I'd rather not have the person/s get upset because I can't help my disappointment.

Meh, From I've seen of the raid so far it's not that thrilling. It's a beat down with fancy gimicks and continuous spawnings.

I am, Rameses!

[Rameses]

I agree with Aspenors frustration. So far Tinted Faces has been slow on taking up the challenge of this Raid.

This is, basically, exactly the case. It would have been a lot more fun if they just made it a VERY difficult beat-down fight. I mean this guy is a freakin demi-god lich....Hand him some nasty magic and just let him sorceror-speed cast on us. Maybe a few undead summons....the puzzles are sorta stupid though it sounds, although finishing them can make the raid a lot easier. Bleh.....

[Aspenor]

I agree with Aspenors frustration. So far Tinted Faces has been slow and annoyingly lazy and complacent on taking up the challenge of this Raid.

added my additional thoughts.

[Rameses]

LOL I didn't want to bash them that bad

[Aspenor]

Not really bashing, just saying cheer leading isn't working. How about shame.......

[juniorpfactors]

ummm.....


Hand him some nasty magic and just let him sorceror-speed cast on us.-->


that is what has been done....the reason people are not thrilled is cause he is Killing everyone instantly with his "nasty magic/Sorceror casting"

getting crushed around 10 times in 2 hours and most go running back to water works or Giant area pugs dont like "not succeeding".......jrp says its ok to fail to learn

[Aspenor]

If his actual SPELLS are killing you, and not his "special attacks" then....you need better groups.

[juniorpfactors]

"You have been killed by Disintegrate for 413points of damage"
"you have been killed by chain lightning for 198 points of damage"
"you have been killed by delayed blast fireball for 168 points of damage"
"you have benn killed by Disintegrate for 398 points of damage"
spells? those are just some of his funner ones...not to mention all the symbols he drops on top of the team....how many times you run the Aspenor?

and i cant find what spell causes this......"YOU HAVE BEEN KILLED BY SOMETHING" I want this spell
