I know we won't have people on early enough tomorrow to shoot for first, but we should have them both down that evening.

I do like the concept of racing to flag to get in there in the first place though. Send extra accounts in to clear the longer ones while their mains pike in the short ones. Might earn you a few extra minutes.

Revenants isn't starting the raids until 6PM est, but we plan on beating them both on Epic.  I don't think we will even try a different difficulty.

We're all way more interested in the new Elite ToD.  Probably won't even get flagged until tomorrow.

Good luck to all in their attempts.

We will probably take our shot Friday or Saturday after our Premium players have the pack.

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

No disrespect to the Thelanis guild but obviously they made the new raids too hard. Please Turbine, we need help, we need an easier chance at beating the raids they are just too hard I mean it took all of 4 hours to get them beaten on Epic and thats just not acceptable we need to trim that down to max one hour after going live, seriously. Roll Eyes

On a brighter note at least I dont have to worry about the rabid dash to complete, not a big fan of more crafting and no Named  Item raid loot or epic loot. I can take the time to enjoy the story line and flower sniff and dungeon crawl exploring every inch of the new content and appreciate the work done by the dev team that will will be forgotten a month from now when its all old hat!

The problem is pots.  If it weren't possible to drink our way to completion, difficulty would really mean something.  One person said they drank 40 pots in that run.  That's just ridiculous.

Slap a long cooldown on them (say, 2 minutes), and make them only work if you have low SP to begin with (say, under 200 SP).  That way, a pot can extend a run a bit if things get ugly, but if you end up needing more than a pot per 2 minutes, you're not going to complete.

Problem is, of course, that store pots are, presumably, a big moneymaker.  So they're not going to want to nerf them.

LOL I started playing DDO because of a great enjoyment of actual Dungeons and Dragons... I love the lore, its just you can only experience it for the first time once. I would love to run a new quest every night and not need to grind loot, just like PnP

Yup.  As long as somebody is willing to drink their way to victory and proclaim themselves ubber this game will remain a joke.  A 1-2 minute cooldown is needed.

Pffftt

The only people that complain about others A) buying store pots and finishing a raid (solo or group), or B) accumulating Major pots and finishing a raid (solo or group), are the same fucks that can't complete the shit with unlimited pots (solo or with a group of their gimp ass friends).

STFU noobs.
