Deconstructing Uqua:
Complete! - June 17th 2004 -
Biffins |
And so it comes to pass, sooner rather than later. Vrex Barxt Qurat
dies to the combined might of Wraith and Reviviscence and another rather
eventful journey comes to a close.
Uqua was a delight to play in a learn, a very fun and zone to raid in,
with just the right amount of emphasis on all sorts of skills for any
raiding guild to be tested in, be it debuffing, crowd control, raid speed,
split-encounters, and ofcourse the all important tanking, healing and agro
management.
If Uqua is an example of the challenges that lie ahead in Gates of
Discord and more in Omens of War, with more twists and turns and and
unique events, we have a bunch of very fun months coming up! Stay tuned
for Qvic and Inktuta updates. Ciao.
| Deconstructing Uqua: Phase 1 ..... & Recruiting
& Superheroes - May 21st 2004 -
Biffins |
We've started raiding in Uqua and contrary to all expectations we've
found the zone a ton of fun.
To all the guilds who beta-tested it last few months and then got
frustrated or even quit, Thank You! We're enjoying the fruits of your
labors and are having a fantastic time in the place.
We haven't been in Uqua for too long but have managed to get atleast
far enough to get Mr. Enraged pictured above dead. More news to come from
subsequent trips.
Recruiting:
We've re-opened recruiting recently after a 2 month hiatus. We
feel we've trimmed down sufficiently from the PoP raid sizes to the ones
needed in GoD now to recruit a few active players who want to see high-end
EQ and want to raid in GoD.
Ofcourse, we do like to be guilded with like-minded people. So if you
do not like to raid, do not know your class well, do not like to play with
skilled players,
do not see yourself playing much in the coming months,
do not appreciate good natured conversations, and above all,
do not know how to have fun in EQ, then this is not the guild for you. If
the above does not apply, head on over to the
Recruitment
section and follow the guidelines to post an application.
All classes are welcome to apply but admission will depend on our
needs.
Men in Tights:
Yes that's the name of the Robin Hood spoof movie but it also happens
to be the name of the Wraith / Reviviscence super-group in City of Heroes.
I want to give a shout out to all old-timers, inactive and ex-W/R players
who I know still check up on this site now and then to hook up with some
old pals if they are playing or
planning to play City of Heroes. I haven't played it, nor am planning to,
but apparently these guys have been having some fun.
Was kind of funny to hear the first thing in /raid chat after Enraged
dies was "See you in Paragon City in 10 minutes" hehe.
The Wraith / Reviviscence community will survive EQ. Cheers!
| Ikkinz Complete! - May 9th 2004 -
Biffins |
The new and improved Keeper of the Altar fell. Ikkinz Raid 4 is a
pretty fun and balanced raid now and we enjoyed the event though are still
perplexed by the long lockout timers (they're afraid we'll farm too much
loot?)
Unfortunately we were unable to distribute loot this run as the raid
timer expired soon after, but we did manage to hand out a lot of juice
boxes!
Full steam ahead!
| Welcome to Yxxta! - May 2nd 2004 -
Biffins |
So we went to Yxxta when we finally found some mobs up for a change. All
mobs present in the zone were dispatched with ease.
The Mindrider was a different fight from pretty much any other mob in
the game so was a ton of fun.
These 3 below on the otherhand were much more straightforward fights,
like most PoP encounters. Lets hope they fix the riddle ring (used to open
the door to access these primals) so it resets when someone who has
triggered and answered a few questions (wrong) and leaves haflway - so we
don't get nasty surprises like we did. The spawned golems on incorrect
answer had zonewide agro! Ahem! My apologies to Explicit who were merely
clearing to Uqua on the otherside of the zone and wiped to those
ass-kicking golems.
Tons of loot ofcourse. I'll spare you the spams of pics. Lots more GoD
to come soon.
| Here we go again......... - April 24th 2004 -
Biffins |
The rumors are true. I'm back to EQ to haunt all Quellious raiders once
more. Been a week or two and am actually having a blast in GoD *gasp*
something which I hear is quite unfashionable to say since as always
everyone loves to bash the latest and greatest from SoE.
Loved the 1-grp trial events, the fact that some semblance of
difficulty is back to the game. Bye bye Tranquility/Knowledge and the
Graveyards. Welcome back naked corpse recovery runs!
So far got flagged to Kod'taz and raided with the guild on their first
kills of the Ikkinz Raids. Been having fun and especially enjoyed the
Transcendence trial which will constitute the news this update.
Great encounter, lots of fun. And has been the theme of this expansion
so far on other guild sites, already the stuff is rotting due to too few
slots available. Lets hope the itemization improves.
So see you all online and ciao.

Happy Easter! -April 11th 2004 - Conen |
So yeah, almost a month since last update. Probably why I was recruited to start doing them. I
promise they'll come in more regularly for all you board trollers.
What have we been up to? Well, clearing Time on a regular basis. Still haven't cleared in a single-night
but won't be much longer. What else you say? Well, other than Time we've been battling the DX9 bugs in Gates.
With most of the guild finally Kod'taz flagged, we're finally trying the Ikkinz raids.
Now, for those that haven't attempted them yet, let me tell you it's nice to finally be attempting
the fun stuff in Gates. Finally after all the anger and frustration of failing Vxed/Tipt/K1-3 over and
over due to some small mistake (c'mon you know you have!) we are setting foot into the unknown and having a
blast!
I was unable to get a screenshot from the first raid but here's my one and only shot from the second.
Grats to Thrilos and Gurunt on their brand new Jagged Onyx Staffs of
Gay Graphicness and expect another update with more screenshots soon.
Ciao!
| 4 Heads is enough for all -March 16th 2004 - Jama |
Due to the national shortage of juice boxes, I will keep this update short and sweet (more short than sweet).
Quarm dies.. Yay!
The picture below was taken very shortly after the 4 headed pound puppy died.
If you look closely, you will see Rurark stripping his clothes off. Being an astute observer, it was obvious he was suffering from a case of "Dawgeth Corpus" or which is better known as "puppy love". There was only one thing to do, and we had to act quickly. We took the very last juice box from the Wraith/Rev reserve and we proceeded to hose Rurark down. The "holy juice box", as it has been dubbed, saved Wraith/Reviv this most horrific event, that was about to take place.
Anyway, we are all coping with this current state of juice affairs. The tree suicide rate has jumped dramatically. This is due to Druids being less prone to tree-hugging, due to the ill-mood this juice box drought has brought to Druids. Also suffering, from
ill-mooded casters, are wizard's familiars. Quesci’s Familiar was quoted as saying “I hope this juice box shortage end’s soon. I am not sure how much more of her
*****ing I can take”.
This national juice box shortage has taken its toll, but there is a glimmer of hope. We have inside information that in the depths of
Kodtaz, there is the mother of all juice reserves. That’s right, there has been visual confirmation that there are multiple kegs of
Cherry-lime-ade being guarded deep with-in Kodtaz. As you would expect
Wraith/Revivience has gone full tilt on getting flagged for, as we come to call it, "the promise land". Hopefully, we will soon have the force to liberate the oppressed juice. Stay Tuned.
| The End of Time is Near -Febuary 4th 2004 - Jama |
VZ's time finally ended to Wraith/Rev.. I believe we killed him on our first attempt this run.. Below is Vallon's Corpse... Well not his whole corpse, just his dead ass feet.
After this kill, the officers handed juice boxes to everyone for a job well done.. After we announced the juice box distribution, this was the reaction:
On a side note I would like to thank the Wraith/Reviv anti-terrorism agency for their exceptional chat black out skillz.
Anyway after juice boxes we all had to take a nap.. but after nap time we were ready for blood.. We promptly amputated Cazic Thule's many appendages.
Then all Hell broke loose.. Arariana asked for a rod in chat.. Rurark and Branoic, who most likely had 1 too many juice boxes, both wanted to give her a rod.. Mages are known for their fiery temper, so it was no surprise that this situtation soon came to fist-a-cuffs. Because of this, the raid ended and both mages lost their juice box privileges.. But the next night, Bertox fell relatively easily and then Rallos Zek was in our sights
Lets please witness a moment of silence for all the mage pets who lost their lives to bring us this picture.
With a push of the *RALLOS ZEK INC* hotkey and with flawless tank switches, the pet's lives were not lost in vein
I am officially renaming "Rallos Zek the Warlord" to "Rallos Zek the Snow Angel". Anyway, we gave Inny a try but we ran out of time.. We left time with only Inny and the 4 head dog still breathing... Till next time!
Viva Wraith/Reviv !!!
