16-23min EE FoT

[Keybreaker]

Yesterday, I posted what may be the 1st EE FoT completion since U17.1 (Boom!): http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php...72#post4953572

Today we did it in much less time. I've discussed on these forums my dismay regarding the bugged completion time displays, so there's no reliable precision at all, but yesterday's 10-man run took 28-35min (XP Report - LFM Display) and today's took 16-23min. It did feel like it took almost half the time. We were a bit more reckless (more deaths show that), but we DPS'd harder as a result (and having a full raid party helped too), and ended up using no resources.

We'll definitely be running this every day. IMO, this is the funnest, fastest raid Turbine has devised. Kudos!

Nice job OR.
One little question though.. I see you have "green items" on your hotbars.. what is the name of the UI skin and where can I find it?

Cool hat too.

Its the Blackbird UI with custom green borders for equipped items as the current equipped item graphic is hard to see. Sadly I don't think its being updated anymore so players have to customize it themselves. http://www.lotrointerface.com/downlo...BlackBird.html


Here's a screenshot with the regular UI.



Heres a screenshot with the Shard Exchange open as someone asked me to do to prove it was 17.1.

Very nice run! 23 minutes is good benchmark I guess

We got our first completion done tonight since the update and it took about 40 minutes (although our truthful tank DCd to make it go a bit slower). First ee try was a fail, because we had no clue that they changed the raid, then we had a lag wipe when we had the reaver/truthful both down around 40%, so 3rd attempt all in all. I agree that there is plenty of unnecessary whining about this, it was just too easy before the patch.

I find the default UI to be too bright (too much red and gold trim). I really like the Blackbird UI, but afaik it's no longer updated by its creator, and therefore many of the elements are parts of the new default UI. One of the things that really bothers me about the current default UI is the gray "4-pointer" equipped overlay combined with colored borders for gear. I solved this by creating my own equipped overlay which is a high-contrast, thick green square border. Now there's no mistaking what I have equipped.
