Who are you and what is this!?
Hi!
I’m Duke and on Saturday the 29th at 6PM GMT, my guild and I are holding one of the biggest community PvE events the game has seen.
We’ve held quite a few in the past and they’ve attracted hundreds of people along to each one. However, we’ve not hosted any since the megaserver system was introduced, so we’ll see how things go!
Sounds cool, what’s going on?
Five armies are starting out from each of the racial capitals and headed over to Sparkfly Fen to take down Tequatl, er… Smaug.
That means each zerg will travel across the land, conquering challenges such as meta events and jumping puzzles semi-randomly as they go.
Each of the armies has a commander and a deputy. I’ll also be flitting between each of the armies on the night to ensure everything is going smoothly.
How do I join?
That’s the simple part: Pick a character and head down to their capital – whether it be Rata Sum for the asura, Divinity’s Reach for the humans etc.
Once there, you need to whisper Duke Witherheart and I will get you a taxi into the correct map. You’ll group up into parties with your fellow participants and head out on a quest like no other.
Any restrictions?
Yes – but only a few!
First, feel free to come on any character you like – of any level. It doesn’t matter if you’re level 8 or 80, because we run through Tyria without using waypoints, you won’t need to have done any world completion beforehand. Moreover, you will likely be carried along by the zerg anyway.
However, we do ask that you switch to a level 80 for the fight with ‘Smaug’ if possible – once we reach Sparkfly Fen!
Second, please note that this is in the EU only. Sorry US friends.
TeamSpeak?
Yes, we will be using TeamSpeak and will give out the server details on the night.
OK so we’re setting off at 18:00 GMT, but what about Tequatl’s spawn?
Be aware that our guild can spawn Tequatl at a whim as required – so we don’t need to be in Sparkfly at a specific time.
Anything else?
Feel free to bring your friends but don’t worry if you come alone; we’ll have people to guide you on the night. You can also ask questions (or just post to say that you’re coming!) in this thread.
Please check the attachments for some cool summaries of this post too.
