Dragon Raid

[llixeraxu]

I was shocked…no sadden when I heard that us hibbies have failed to even once slay the dragon.

To compound this I hear that there are no plans to change this!

This is all about to change! But it can only be made possible with YOUR help. Okay enough of the pep talk heres what we plan to do..

In order to achieve this we will need a fantastic amount of planning. There have been a lot of ideas thrown into the mix but one above all others seems the most sensible/possible.

It is this :

We elect group leaders all of which are responsible for the punctuality of their groups, and will be held responsible for the actions of there groups. I.e. procing weapons.
These people will organise there 7 personnel. Nicely this is no passport to be an bossy boots, and I will go to great lengths to avoid people of this elk having such positions.

Only group leaders will be invited to cg, they will in turn relay the information back to there groups to avoid unnecessary information pushing the more important stuff round the chat screen so people miss it.

Every one will know which group they will be in before the day of the raid is upon us, so there will be no gimped groups…for example groups with 2 people.

Groups will go to the dragon area 2 at a time to avoid lag.

This will be by invite only due to the fact if a large amount of unorganised people turn up we could all fail. There are many reasons for this, not least of which is that when ever a person dies a glimmer knight spawns. Another is that you will not be in the cg and will not know what is going on. I don’t come and hit your monsters while you fight and I would appreciate it if people wouldn’t just turn up.

That said, if you contact me before I will be more than happy to accommodate you.
------------

There will of course be more guidelines, which group leaders can relay back to their 7 people. But this is the foundation of what we hope can be a successful raid.


What I need from you now is names of people who will be willing to take part! I also need experienced Dragon raid veterans to volunteer to be group leaders of course there will be rewards for coming.


Thank you for reading this. It is no short message. Please show your support my contating me (Llixeraxu) or Athralmall in game or by posting below.

Thanks again

Dragon raids has been my hobby since I first learned that there was a dragon in Hibernia. Ive been on 5 of them. The last one arranged by Nijindil. I think he had a nice plan but it failed mainly because:

1. To many did not read/understand/follow the instructions.
2. Some groupleaders did not read/understand/follow instructions
3. Proccing weps where used
4. Magic in lair where used ( part from ressing thats ok )
5. Noone helped picking up teleported grps. Teleported gprs did not cooperate.
6. At the end all where ordered to attack the dragon. This lead to the adds killing off all supportchars. We need to controll all adds.



Id love to help organize the raid if you need me.

Id love to be groupleader of one grp if you need me.

I offer a nonproccing spear wielded by a lvl 50 Hero to help take the glimmerking down.

Im in the raid council of the guild Legends of Camelot, so I can offer the help of our guild. We wont fill a 45+ grp though so I need to get ppl from other guilds to fill out.

Contact me ingame, mail me on carlsson@home.se or post instructions here. Im your to command *bows*

last dragon raid was about as well planned and as well executed as you are ever going to get im afraid. (thats a compliment to the organiser btw)

We failed cuz we were about 50 people to short.. (germans did it with 290 we had roughly 230 or summin)

Good news is Mythic's nerf bat is not exclusive to the players.... The dragon gets a good pummeling with it in the nect patch I think.....

best wait till then perhaps?
but Im always up for a good dragon raid... last one was brilliant fun....

 

[Bedroc the Hero]

Censi, I think we would have made it last time if ppl would have been a lil better following instructions and if we had kept the adds down + gone fetch the teleported guys.

Lets give it another go!! perhaps well make it! If not well have fun so its a win/win situation.

 

[Qte Eth]

we had less than 200 ppl afaik at least who sheeroe didnt gave me more then 1xx last time
also its all because more ppl-less organisation thing=/
he was on like 3% hp -dont forget

 

[thebinarysurfer]

The plan as a whole was a good one - sadly about 20 rangers were left trying to handle an equal or great number of glimmer knights with mages supporting them - this wouldnt have been too bad if we'd have warden or healer support - but sadly most healers were doing the necessary tank ressing and most wardens were tanking at the dragon - not blaming you guys just the way it was.

The add handlers need to be grouped next time unless we have the better part of 50% more add handlers.

 

[Maq-attack]

I can offer my help in add control, at lvl 42 (at time of post) i dare say you won't want me getting killed by the dragon, but i can come along just for the adds should you require my blades.

 

[yadleen]

Mate I'll be happy to assist, count me in.

Last time we tried it from the southern side which is near to th elill forest where the scouts roam - i would say let us attack from the E side so we have the mountains on our back and no scouts near (all would be behind the lair).

Sadly it does not work the last time - Niljindil put great efforts to organise the last raid and it was spoiled by players who did not follow the said rules.

Please don't use excuses like "did not understand the rules" since a clear briefing via /as was done short before the raid where all rules where explained again.

there is a south side and there is a north side, you must mean the north side right? the massive adds will come wherever you are, the scouts u are talking about bring 4-5 glimmers as max. Btw to prevent the 100 knights to come when the dragon is at 10% health you need to kill the "glimmer messenger" that spawns somewhere in the lair, he is the scout and will bring all kind of glimmers to where there is most people, he cons yellow to level 50 and run faster than a horse. Anyways kill when u notice dragon is on 10% ~ BEFORE he brigns all the adds, thats what killed us first time.

whatever ...
