Chalupas won't pay for themselves. Of course he'll start another guild.

Rumor is that Vicious might team with Atabishi to start the first ever professional e-sports style "EQ House" with a built-in Taco Bell and a bunch of LAN tables for everyone to raid on. Bean bag chairs and everything. All you can eat chalupas and Baja Blast. 24/7 batphones. No Navy Seals allowed.

Who's paying for the Taco Bell? Bishi always stole his, remember?

I'd think navy seals are allowed, they just better bring more than 3 this time.

I was only able to log in for a few minutes. Pok was laggy and buggy but the gms were actively attempting to fix the problem... by spamming mass cat illusion over and over again.

They pulled the server down for an emergency patch 40 minutes before PoP launch. ETA said 3 hours on the server screen. Only took 30, luckily.

PoK/Tranq were laggy as fuck but all worked.

PoP launch is the most brutal of all the expansion releases. 29 hours.

Pop doesnt really give a serious advantage to a guild for having hundreds more players. Maybe you can funnel some storms keys faster? Really though, if you can get a full raid crew together, you can compete for a server launch race on basically equal footing with any guild regardless of size. So this would be a good chance to show you're really the better players, versus OW where size matters so much and smaller guilds can just be bulldozed.

So it's kinda sad to see the complete lack of desire to race when a race is easy to actually measure and not be arbitrary, and where RI is at no disadvantage. Being smaller never stopped TL or Amtrak.

I mean they were raiding at like 4am still. If you take time off so you can raid at 5pm est for launch, and you raid til 4-5am then PL your characters while you sleep for 6 hours and raid again for 12+ hours can you still say you didn’t race?

I think RI had the same time raiding/sleeping as we did.

QYC killed Quarm at 7am this morning. I think they beat RI but the two of them had been going back and forth for the second place spot a bunch of times since launch. RI went to bed an hour before QYC but got back to work like 2 hours before them.

PoP launch is probably the expansion that being a bigger guild matters the most on. Storms key, AD key, Agnarr key, Factory key, Vial, Xegony key, Saryrn Key and few other things that can be down with the EPs. Also being bigger allows you to Level toons outside of the raid and then piggy them for EPs/Time which is a major advantage.

PoP went exactly as we expected:

-PoK was buggy/crashy

-PoTranq is still awesome

-A fair amount of morons still don't know how to wait on hailing Planar Projections

-Terris-Thule is dropping Time loot

-The PoK elevator still sucks

-Xegony is still top EQ bae

-Faceless got server first Quarm and set a new record on time

-Headshot doesn't work

-A lot of people's moms got sick at the last minute

I don't think there was a lack of desire to race. RI was pushing through progression as well and was consistently in second or third place behind Faceless and sometimes QYC (and ahead of everyone else). They had a full raid going and everything from what I could see. Not certain if they pulled ahead of QYC in the late hours or took a break to pretend they weren't racing after Faceless got Quarm down, but AFAIK either way QYC got the 2nd Quarm.

And yeah, PoP is a great opportunity for everyone to be on a level playing field. Storms key funneling wasn't really much of a factor on this launch what with everyone doing their keys in one-group DZs regardless and everyone getting their key done guildwide. Fewer people = fewer keys and less administrative work.

Numbers help with stuff like the progression doodad from PoWater, except that our main raid had a few people do that while most of the raid was on break / sleeping so it isn't like it was funneled to them while they progressed either. Our raids were mostly just functioning independently from each other. So yeah, in this situation I'd say it was anyone's game.

One of our raids (not the main one) had Sol Ro Tower drop the full Xegony key which made PoAir go very quick (this was while the main raid was already in Time so it was inconsequential to the clear time as well).

Next major milestone is making it to live (congrats Mangler and Vaniki) so hopefully this thread stays lively until late 2029.
