Ooh dear ...

We did the spider mob in Sol Sek, that dps check pretty nasty. We are working on Challenge raids atm and it took us quite a while to kill that spider one.
Although it did give us 195 res.

 

I enjoy strats.. but not ones that lack sufficient cues about what is going on and how to deal with it. As a healer, I also detest fights that are always moving all the time in random directions. That's not hard, it's just chaos. I suppose they're trying to make things more 'exciting'.
Strats where one person dies, without the chance to avoid, save, or anything, when other people mess up is NOT FUN (looking at Hortu the Scorched). Especially when what the 'wrong thing' is happens to be 1) extremely unclear and 2) unavoidable at times. Being the goat for that fight was absolutely horrible. Especially since it uses the same person for every time for every pull after the first. 'Too many' people 'too close' to the mob and POP, scripted death.. mem-shuffle just happened? sucks to be the goat.

 

Now I was never fond of the script and strat proliferation while I was raiding, but frankly that was because my crew always seemed to have trouble with them. It was a casual outfit, so certain things could be expected, but it was frustrating at times.

Oh well. I miss those folks. I don't miss the frustration though.

 

Up till Glockus Named it's the same scrip /Strat with some additional surge damage here and there. The later Mobs require up to 4300 Resolve.
The zone and Raidbosses are buggy as you can "One - Shot" them with the Deity Ability Devastation of War and the Totemic Class Ability.The later was fixed already and the rest will be fixed today. This was exploited with some kills taking 17 secs !
Because of that all (Guild) Achievements will be resettet.

 

Addendum added to the patch notes today:

I find it ironic that it's being called a 'bug'. Back in KA when they changed the logging to work this way for group wards, there was complaint from the community and we were told the change was made 'to make it easier for shaman to keep track of their wards'
Suddenly, years, later, it is a 'bug' to be fixed...
Glad for the change, but calling it a bug now....

 

Personally I'd call them a complete joke. Somebody reported today that he keeps getting more of them every time he zones and the original problems weren't fixed in the patch. Who'da thunk it, eh?

 

....I vote we put Cassta in charge of choosing the next adornment color.

Pretty sure I know what the winner will be.

 

... and lets give someone else the choice what color that actually goes in there.... just to keep the players on their toes!

 

Octarine.

 

I feel insulted
German and EQ2 in the same sentence alone is enough reason to throw down my old rusty gauntlet to you *mumble*

 

What if you're blue-green/green-blue color blind?

 

Sucks to be you, I guess? SOE/DBG/DPG have repeatedly demonstrated over the years that:
1. They don't consider these problems in their design decisions and
2. They don't seem to care when the problems are pointed out to them.

Look at the fight we had to go through to get some relief from the migraine inducing red UI back in the day.

Look at the problems caused by that stupid character screen colour wash a couple of expansions back. Which they absolutely refused to remove and it took a 3rd party UI piece to alleviate the worst of that one.

Look at the current problems with font scaling (or lack thereof). The interface is slowly getting more and more illegible to those of us with vision issues or huge resolution monitors and there seems to be little impetus for them to address the problem. I realise a full redesign of the UI is massive amounts of work but surely there's some way they could add additional font files and a way to select a custom default from the ini files to mitigate the worst of it?

 

Yep. Sounds about par for the course.

 

Yeah, I don't even think that form of color blindness is a real thing. I was just being silly and amusing myself again.

If it were I'm sure Siggy could tell us some 38 step process to tell the colors apart so the devs could justify avoiding having to care about it anyways.

 

In fact I cannot really differ between green and blue if they are of certain shades.
Take a regular (green) blackboard at school and use the blue chalks that exist -> invisible for me. Stuff just blends over and whatever you wrote there simply goes *poof*. I know that there is something written on the blackboard but looking at it causes massive headache.

 

You know she changed the colour specially for you after you said you stuck her on ignore? Only a couple of problems with that.

1. If you really stuck her on ignore you would never have noticed
2. As she was beyond the 30 minute edit limit she changed it by quoting her OP and used the dark purple colour. Dark purple on the dark background of the quoted text is about as legible as the fuchsia pink on the light background. And she went back to you-know-what everywhere else. And Breanna thinks it's pretty ...

I did try to point out that she wasn't really communicating with her audience effectively like this but deaf ears, brick walls and all that ...

 

*shakes head* Ugh - welp, bless her heart. And of course Breanna would think it's pretty, lol. Since I"m not trying to induce anymore headaches like the borderline migraine it caused the other day, she can sit on ignore with Benito and Raff. I had Snikkety on there too but couldn't remember why, so I cleaned that bit up.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't she do the same thing with the abominable pink about 10-12 months ago? Yeah, that's a bit more of a pattern than I'm willing to endure stabbing icepicks of pain for.
