In theory you would want to root for RI... Underdog guild trying to take out an empire, rebels without a cause, antiestablishment going against the man.

But in reality, it's just a clown show with poor leadership and even worse shit talking.

Sad times.

Time for some red meat for people who like drama-bait, need to address some disinfo.

Kind of funny to see RI members spreading propaganda ingame that Faceless "started" the class zerg meta, when RI was the one that turned their raids into Wizard zergs first and we just responded by doing it better and shutting them out.

I mean, they bragged about doing this very thing by posting this shot in one of their videos before we even started doing it. That video was in August:

Bragging about something until it backfires, then crying seems to be their MO. I'm sure they're planning to do another class zerg for Luclin with Rangers and think that it'll work. They probably have a whole plan drawn up of showing up to OW AHRs with 72 Rangers to KS them (while we do all the tanking, healing, etc, you know, the actual execution), followed by posting stupid "blot out the sun" memes from 300. That won't work either.

Then you've got them falsely claiming we're undergeared when we've taken in significantly more loot-per-person and RI has people like Himlop waddling around talking smack to people while having classic planar gear in a bunch of slots.

Which isn't even getting into all the weird griefing shit RI does instead of just competing. They'll spend an hour doing weird-ass shit like dropping a Vindi on us during AOW prep and Natimbi-ing out, then come back and train some more mobs, then lose the actual AOW race. Is the goal to annoy us? I'm not sure if Vindi even accomplishes that much, it's more like a "right, anyway" moment.

Teek has been a real embarrassment for RI to say the least, mostly on a behavioral level but also on a "getting repeatedly dumpstered" level. If Faceless is a bad player zerg like you claim, then you've been going about 1 for 10 against a bad player zerg and I'm not sure what that says about you.

Me sitting over here on a wizard main thinking of how hard it is going to be to get an experience group in Luclin with all those boxed wizards in the world...

All those wizards...that's a long list of people who will quit during PoP.

Majority of the population will quit during this time, wizard or not. Its when all the people who play TLPs just do launch >> pop, and also its 4 months of plane of time for this server, so its going to be extra spicy that last 1-2 months.

I like how he calls you guys serious casuals and then in the very next message says you're MQ2 users who box 10 toons. That dude is salty!

There's also a lot of projection in those tells, because his guild's got multiple people running around with a bunch of wizards /stick following them.

I don't know of a single person in Faceless Teek who has ever brought a bunch of MQ2 boxes to an OW fight. If I did I'd want them to leave the raid, cause it's an issue for me if I see ONE box DPS hanging back at arena not contributing enough.

Well, Rangers are a much easier meta for a skill-less MQ2 strat, they've got that going for them. Maybe it'll work, just need to continue letting Faceless do all the tanking, healing, debuffing, etc.

Any truth to the rumors that RI tried to train Vindi on a couple of Faceless SKs in the throne room, failed, then brought him to the zonein and wiped / had to resort to bind-rushing him? Ouch

How bad are these tower missions at 60? I'd be running two 60 monks (one epic), a 60 shaman, and a boxed 60 ranger. Is this easily 3 manned? Is tower 3 as rough as some have said? Any tips are appreciated.

Do you incur an exp penalty if you die in the tower? Might be carrying a bad or two...

Dying in the tower is the same as anywhere else. If you have the delevel perk you don't have to worry about it. I wouldn't 3 man it, it takes a decent group of six for the most part. Doesn't need to be a perfect group or a bunch of pros, just a balanced normal group can deal with it fine. You definitely want to do the missions at 60 for the AAs. Lot of folks persona down to level 2 mages to gimp the missions and they're essentially just flushing free AAs. The AAs are tied to the victory achievement, so once that's out of the way, you can do them on lowbie mages to farm currency.

The only mission that really presents an issue is #3 and yeah it's a bit rough because the boss just heals himself over and over. I think it's a proc/drain type situation in some sort of frontal cone, so you want to keep everyone on the opposite side as the tank. Or something along those lines, someone'll correct me if that's not right.

Speaking of which, #8 seems bugged, or at least it didn't seem completable the other day when I tried to do it on a level 5 for currency. It says to investigate the wyvern, I go hail the wyvern, it gives me a prompt to say "attack", I do that, wyvern attacks, I slay wyvern. Then it updates to "investigate the blade piles" and the rest goes normally (if buggy) until the end when it tells me to defeat the wyvern... that I defeated at the beginning. Tried a few things (like leaving the wyvern up and beating on me while I tried to get the blade piles to activate) and nothing works. Maybe hail it and don't hit attack, but that doesn't move the task to the next step. I finished #8 the night it came out so it was completable, at least, but now it seems incompletable.
