What happened to all of the guilds on Blue, and what is Fuse?

[Jimjam]

Thats cool that you are still pursuing your literary ambitions. You're an engaging writer. But yea, I agree on your assessment that p99 is a smaller audience, and a bit more tightly moderated too now.

Best wishes for the big surgery and getting back into published stuff!

aaaaaand hes banned

There was no other way to tell that story re: Fuse, unfortunately. I do believe guild leaders have a higher duty to their players. Especially when they build themselves up as friends/allies.

Also not after another 2 weeks Toxigirl, be jealous. I really hope you'll get there too someday for your own sake <3

100%. I raided constantly with Kittens, whenever I could make it. It was great fun, we had a great community, and there were very few elitist holier-than-thou types (although they existed even in KWSM.) Now, despite technically being a member of <Fuse> I feel guildless. The raiding is just too poopsock, crazy fast paced, you have to park a toon for ANY encounter in advance or log a bot. I've basically given up on raid content now, and there's really no point because all the old guard have 10s of 1000s of DKP anyways. I hate it, and I miss Kittens horribly.

What's worse, there doesn't seem to be any real method to get help with epics (Lol just MQ it bro it's only 30k.) and there's also no HoT nights, community nights, or anything like that. Everything is just hyper focused around getting the top raiders more BiS gear, getting more level 60 characters to park for more encounters, and having a kinda nasty attitude towards every other guild on the server. And the whole "being a force for good" on P99 is such a joke- all they want to do is clear content and crush out everyone else.

<Fuse> is also an even worse name than <Riot> which is an impressive feat in and of itself. Phew, felt good to get that out of my system. I've been kinda seething since the merge, basically killed my enjoyment of end game on p99 blue. Which sucks, because I have multiple max level characters, but now what am I gonna do with them? Guess I can park one for Tunare, one for Vulak, one for Dain and another for CT... [You must be logged in to view images.

Pretty much all the result of a low population server combined with a locked server w/ no new content. Blue was great for so long until Green came out. Merge needs to happen badly.

Wow really? The best part of it were those random community nights, HoT, epic help, etc. Super lame they aren't continuing that.

It's disappointing that these people destroyed the guild. It would've been way better if they just said "hey a few of us are going to Riot sorry" and just left. Obviously Kittens raiding would've taken a significant hit but eventually someone would've stepped up to fill the space in leadership.

That's funny. Since when? I can name exactly one player in Gravity who was respectful in communications.

Fuse still does HoT and has a way to ping for epic help which players show up for. Guy doesn't use the discord apparently.

Yeah think you misread there. He's saying that if you ask for epic help some people laugh at you and are like why wouldn't you just pay for the MQ.

Also didn't think Riot had scheduled HoT community nights? And what are the loot rules, DKP? Because if so then that also doens't solve the issue the commenter raised since it would be very different from the weekly KWSM HoT.

Just searched discord again to double check. Fuse members asking for and volunteering to help with epic kills regularly, reacting with emojis and comments. Even a rogue epic general fights I joined not too long ago, two groups showed up for. The picture being painted really isn't the norm. Outside of raid stuff, players are often eager to put some mileage on their BiS gear, especially when there are long windows/spread out nat spawns/lulls between quakes.

Epics are still legitimate and receive grats when linked.

IDK what Riot did, but Fuse still does HoT. Socked the ever living shit out of it during 50% loot bonus. Many were there again yesterday, with plenty of DKP spent.

That isn't to say there haven't been issues with a few players but they don't tend to last long and the ones who do become a meme. But I just haven't seen any scoff at the idea of doing epics over paying for MQ. Even if that happened, it's 1-2 nerds who are independently wealthy. The rest of us poors are in for a copper piece, in for a pound.

100% fine with critiquing any and all guilds/players/staff/p99, as long as it's accurate.
