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

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.

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.

Not to invalidate your experience but I haven’t seen any of this. There is tons of support in the guild, a massive bot army to access, and casual raiding is very easy. Only quakes get a bit tiring but that’s volume fatigue.

EQ often is a case of putting forward an effort to help 9 people (or even 90) people before you expect anyone will help you. I cannot even count how many epic fights I’ve helped with or lead, but I can remember my own with a granular level of detail and immense gratitude. It’s a real glass half full kind of game, not because people are selfish but they are often busy and logistics aren’t easy to line up. Plus half the time people who “need help” are horrible at planning and don’t really know the mechanics of the game.

“VSR is up! Let’s go to KC!”
*30 minutes later, with 20 people at KC*
“Any tanks or enchanters available for VSR?? Come to KC please!”

good post

Rat claw hands arcler "beat" the server. Finally his 99% RA over 10 years has paid off. Perhaps he will finally leave moms basement and waddle his pudgy ass into the sunlight.

Not really, poster has attended 3 raid kills in 7 months.

That is barely more skydives than I have made (0) and I have no opinions on planes or parachutes.

<Fuse> broke the mold, though, Yendor.

Guild 1 got most of the raid targets.
Guild 2 got some others.
Guild 3 started building steam.
Guild 1 and 2 merged to make the largest guild in server history just to beat Guild 3.

Gravity had nothing to do with any decision to merge with Kittens. The real story is it started as an offhand joke made by one of the Riot Officers. It was surprisingly well received by Kittens because they had some real issues with officer burn out. They went from competing for Vulak to operating as a raiding guild primarily only on quakes in a short amount of time as a result of the momentum they lost from constant GM Meta changes. It was either merge or see Kittens dwindle and seeing an even bigger group of them leave. So yes, at least part of the reason was for the health of the server.

Despite the crying and demands made from Gravity to CSR post-merge because the "dozens" of new recruits never manifested in their ranks. Gravity went from killing a few quake mobs and like hate mobs pre-merge to a much larger percentage of mobs post merge, as a result of the fact that one guild can only be at one place at a time instead of competing against 2 entities... even before the tailor made meta. Drafts had one less entity selecting raid targets as well. So essentially it resulted in everyone in the raid scene winning.
