the server, loot and the way things are

Trystych, how do you reconcile your refusal to cheat with the recent actions of IB?

I'm referring to the many allegations of intentional training by an IB officer against various guilds engaged in raid boss content.

this should be interesting to read [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There is a simple answer to all of this. Stop forming goddamn guilds. What someone said on the first page, about 12 guilds being able to clear fear on this server, absolutely floored me.

Sometimes, when everyone is being retarded, I think a good punishment for you all would be to combine all these "raid guilds" into one, and let them have their mobs. Oh, the hilarity.

[Skope]

Yes, Loke, we did it with 11.

You also don't need 50 people to take down a god/dragon, regardless of how many of another guild(s) are there. If it's true and guilds have started afk-poopsocking at potential spawns then it's rather sad (and perhaps explainable by certain recent events). I could see it happening on the last potential spawn in a cycle (everything else is dead) but otherwise it's just not advantageous unless you're gunning for 1 mob in particular. What i'm saying is you don't need to mass recruit and poopsock to get a kill now. If you really want one then hop on a tracker and get to business

Molitoth, you had 19 and you got him to <5%. And, let's be honest, you caved in and sold out.

Damn Wrei. I've accepted I'm a fairly misanthropic person at times, but you make me look like I have sunshine and rainbows shooting out of my ass.

Shit, wait. I'm doing it wrong:
UMadBro?

Seriously. Step back and take a deep breath. Have you tried explaining to them what they're doing wrong?

[Wrei]

I was just stating all the things we know to be true but won't come out and say it. To answer your question, my post was not directed at the casual players in general. It was directed at the casual players talking a big game to get into a raiding guild. As for telling them what to do, you do that to applicants when they make mistakes. In pugs, people are generally not receptive when a stranger tells them what to do (even in the most diplomatic tone).

PS: I'm not mad, sorry for telling things as it is.

DA will miss noble's next pop, but IB will be there!

[Ponden]

No, they won't. It isn't going to be a huge hippy fest where guilds are sharing targets and getting all this phat loot. It will be the same as it now, minus some DA members(see what I did there?). The cock-blocks will be put up, VP will be a 1-2 guild zone mostly, and most guilds will keep Vox/Naggy locked.

Add in to the mix large targets needed for epics and there's going to be a full time-24/7 pissing contest to ensure someone is screwing someone else over for something.

Quite honestly, I give it 10 days before literary meltdowns start showing up on these boards about retribution kills.

[Scrooge]

Well said, Grod. Especially the first part, that is very true.

As a side note.

In case anyone didn't know, Divinity does not mass recruit and our application process is fairly in-depth. Also, raid attendance is not mandatory. We're still able to take down the most difficult content in the game that's realistically doable at level 50 (dual wielding Spiroc Lord). The old world targets do not even compare.

Just had to bring this up again because I keep seeing us lumped into the mass recruiting and poopsocking comments which has never been true of us.
