The Fall of Truth Epic Elite Raid - Friday - 6PM EST

[Shade]

It's finally time, a new epic elite raid to try out. Sign up here and join me to Conquer the Truthful one and his dragons.

Time:
Tonight - Friday - 6PM EST (3 PM PST, 11PM UTC)

Flagging:
Contrary to the release notes it appears you need to complete 4 quests , not just 3:
Madstone
Prison
Cabal
Gianthold Tor
Order for the first three shouldn't matter, but thats the order I did following the quest log from Draznok.
These also need to completed post U17 on Lamannia, previous heroic completions will not work.

I haven't ran tor yet on my bbn, will be doing that shortly.

Note the qa/devs will be around to enable the raid, and may be able to help you in, but historically for 90%+ of lam releases, they could not flag you, only bring up a 1 time window, so please flag correctly to avoid issues.

Brand new epic raid and so little interest.. I guess DDO really is that dead these days, sad.

Well i'd give up on it and go do some RL stuff except theres a massive snowstorm that shutdown the city, so um lfm going up.

Turbine made the game so simple and easy, there is little reason to play it now.

I would love to tag along. However, it seems as though the only time slots for Llama dev events are during times when West Coaster's can't come. 3-5pm PST. Really, REALLY???
Sorry Squeak, at least 404 made an effort to arrange events to try and get a wide player demographic to join...

I would have joined...but Wayfinder charakters cant transfer anywhere..not even to Lamannia.

Oh NO!!

Shade might not get the first CRUSHING completion to the raid.
It's the end of an era, I tell you.

*Moment of silence*

I'd consider bringing my Bard in, but that's my regular Friday session time, and I'd have to transfer her, flag, and slay the huns before I could.

Just a thought, but next time, you might want to give people more than 5 hours notice. Assuming most of the US players either work or go to school on a somewhat standard schedule, I doubt that they saw this thread with anywhere near enough time to prepare. I know that I, personally, wouldn't even bother trying to show up to any scheduled raid with so little warning.

Some people probably would prefer to do it on the live servers or can't be bothered to install Lama.

yea, not interested in spoiling this for myself early.

It was quite fun attempt the one we made...

We gave up on waiting you ingame so we just disbanded Shade and i'd be better take some sleep. I would be happy to try it again whenever you want, if you want to.

Anyway congratulation guys.

This. I love doing raids in a pug/channel for the first time on live without spoilers

Yea was a fun attempt. Thought we had it then suddenly... round 3 outa no where and takes most of us down.

I like the raids design though.. Flimsy did a decent job on the overall dungeon/boss setup.

I like that it's not just one raid boss, not two, not three.. But eight decently powerful raid bosses, most of them at the same time is pretty cool. Plus you get straight to it without 3 hours of monotonous trash grinding like lolth. There is just enough trash to keep 1 or 2 arcanes busy, which is ideal imo.

The truthful one himself was a bit of a letdown, I and many others told turbine how bad that green dragon AI is, yet that's what they selected for him. He's the easiest really since you can leave him for last, doesn't hit that hard and his only way to rez is the weak crystal. The smaller dragons are the real threat here.

Though the Stormreaver could be tough, hard to tell given his AI was completely broken. Though without some really creative design, it would be hard to make him such due to his overall very slow animations.

And yea not long after I zoned in for our third attempt I lost power for ~30min and called it a night, prolly that snowstorm.

Just can't say I have the same drive to really want to crush this one as I did for all the previous raids. As while this raid seems somewhat fun, the motivation to run it just isn't there with the ultra poor loot design. That and tge overall game itself just seems to have gotten worse.

So yea, perhaps it is an end of an era, it's probably for the best.

The bars set very low there. How does it compare to a good raid?
