High Lords to host raids for new players - starting Saturday 2/15

[Vooduspyce]

Hi All!

In response to some forum posts where newer players expressed frustration with pug raids and finding decent raids to get into, The High Lords of Malkier will be hosting a series of open house raids starting this Saturday, February 15 at 7pm EST. These raids will be for players newer to the raiding scene or players that are looking to learn raids better. First timers welcome! Dbags not welcome. Please have sound and be willing and able to follow instructions.

The goal is to welcome newer players into the raiding scene, to teach people how raids work, to get players more comfortable with raids, and to enhance the Sarlona community.

Our first open house raid will be the most popular raid in the game- Shroud!

If you are new to The Shroud raid, you will need to be flagged, which requires completing the 5 Vale of Twilight quests: Let Sleeping Dust Lie, Rainbow in the Dark, Running with the Devils, Coalescence Chamber and Ritual Sacrifice. Then you will need to talk to Valairia in Meridia to complete her crafting device tutorial and then take the 5 stones from the end chests of the vale quests and use the crafting device in the basement of Meridia to convert them to a Shavarath Signet Stone. Finally, show the stone to Valairia and then talk to Aaseamah to pick up the raid.

If you would like to reserve a space in this Saturday's Shroud, you may contact me in game; I mostly play Gingerspyce these days.

Thank you Ellonea for suggesting that our guild host these events. We hope to see you in The Shroud soon!

Love,
Gingerspyce and The High Lords

This is a very generous offer!

So far, and please don't ever prove me wrong, The High Lords of Malkier are great players to PUG with. I have yet to meet one of their players that I did not like. They are solid.

With that said I've never run these raids or have limited exp.

• A Vision of Destruction ~ never ran
• Ascension Chamber ~ never ran
• Hound of Xoriat ~ have only run once. Ususally get lost or left in the dust in Subt and drop party.
• The Titan Awakes ~ ran once in a group and did not complete. Tried to solo a couple of times, but failed badly.
• The Twilight Forge ~ never ran
• Tower of Despair ~ never ran
• Zawabi's Revenge ~ never ran

I own all the content, but usually when trying to do these raids people have been hostile and/or rude towards me for being a noob, so I don't even bother with these LFMs anymore. Item wise, only The Twilight Forge holds my interest regarding items. I know all the other raids not listed above really well however. It's hard to learn a raid when you are booted from group for being honest about being a noob.

On funny a side note, I gave up on the Abbot sometime before I started seeing regular LFMs from Gingerspyce or Sportyspice. I've been tempted to join one of these, but I didn't even bother to flag this life for it : ) )

With all that said, this is a very generous offer. I've enjoyed puugin' with peeps from The High Lords of Malkier. If you're new, this may be a good opportunity for you.

You are beyond help. They would be better off taking a hireling.. :P

Unfortunately, raiding is dead in DDO currently. Hopefully there will be some guilds or individuals that would be willing to put together some raids for fun and training.
I'd be willing to lend a hand teaching most of the raids on your list. However, I have no interest in Abbot...

[Battlehawke]

Always great to see people doing nice things.

[Havok.cry]

This is awesome. I've been around a while but there are still a couple raids where I honestly have no idea what to do in and just follow the group around till I get completion. If you are ever gonna teach what to do with the voice and signet in von 5, or teach the titan raid and preraid (beyond what to do with ladders) I would sign up for those lessons.

[silinteresting]

guys this is really awesome of you, a big thumbs up

may i make a suggestion and thats to advertise on facebook etc
that you are doing this. as im sure you are aware not many new players
hit these forums to start with..

anyway just a suggestion
your friend sil

longtime proud player of sarlona,
well feels like a longtime anyway....

[slarden]

This is great! I don't qualify to join, but I appreciate the High Lords doing something to help out the community.

[Fedora1]

Thumbs up to the OP and his guild. My mains are all on G-Land, and I don't think I'd have time to make a shroud capable and flagged character on Sarlona by Saturday but wanted to post my appreciation to you for this effort.

[Seikojin]

I will try to make it. I will also bring it up to a few leaderships of local guilds. See if they can work with you guys and we can revive the sarlona raid scene.

[relenttless]

Great idea, will publicise it, good for Sarlona, good for the high lords and good for the game.

[Thalone]

Good on you. I notice many, many uptight raid leaders who insist on an interview, best destinies, and perfect quest knowledge to run five-year-old raids with characters overlevel by double digits. Nice to see there are people who don't mind taking the first 12 and going, ortyping or saying a word or two into chat.

[Livmo]

I will try my best to be on Sat. However, Lumberg may have plans for me



Yeah even looking a the image I still couldn't spell the last name : ) )

[Tobril]

Streaming, tweeting, pinterest, etc would all be good as well.

[Slymenstraa]

This is great! I don't qualify to join, but I appreciate the High Lords doing something to help out the community.

I can help anyone with quest arcs they need. If you do not have a raid ready toon, just give me a shout. I have several alts across various levels and would be more than happy to help you get through any chain.
