Hello!
My name’s Duke Witherheart. I’m a commander and for the past four months I have led some very successful PvE campaigns over on my fantastic home server of Gunnar’s Hold (EU).
The first was the splendid Strike on Southsun, the second was the marvelous March to Mount Maelstrom, the third was the fantastic Fight for Frostgorge and the fourth was the sublime Slaying the Shatterer. All events have been hugely successful and I hope to repeat the success in December with…
Rampage from Rata Sum!
This will be a huge crusade from the asuran capital. Instead of just focusing on one or two world bosses, we are going to clear as many as possible within reason. We’ll also be hitting up some of the most underused (but fun!) meta events in the game.
Hopefully we should be able to end our evening but completing this meta event in the Harathi Hinterlands.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME – SO LONG AS YOU CAN GET ON TO GUNNAR’S HOLD (EU)!
Where and when do we meet up?
Rata Sum, 5PM GMT on Saturday the 14th! That’s 6PM for you folks living in France, Germany etc. on CET.
Just come to my commander tag there and then!
Never been to Rata Sum before? You can get there using the asura portal located in Lion’s Arch!
Do I need anything?
A positive attitude with the willingness to take on the world!
No, you don’t need to bring a high level character because the zerg generally compensates for lowbies – so long as you stay with the pack. I really, really recommend that you grab TeamSpeak beforehand though; Fight for Frostgorge and Slaying the Shatterer made great use of TeamSpeak, with over 50 people coming on to join the fun. I want to extend that with this event!
We will give out the details for the TeamSpeak server on the night.
Where are we going?
To the Harathi Hinterlands!
Yup – we are running from Rata Sum to Harathi. Once again, I have enclosed an attachment which is likely to be indicative of the route we’ll be taking. There’s some overlap with the zones we went through during Slaying the Shatterer, but that’s OK; we will have more time to experience some of the events we didn’t do during November.
What are we doing?
The evening should conclude with the murder of Ulgoth the Modniir, but there’s some other things I would like to try too:
- Puzzling jumping high in the sky above Metrica Province.
- Putting out a fire (elemental).
- Throwing ranged AoE against those level 80s in Brisban Wildlands guarding Fort Vandal.
- Helping Skrittsburgh Center.
- Nipping over to Caledon Forest and getting rid of its Wurm.
- Subduing the Shadow Behemoth.
- Assaulting Ascalon Settlement.
Please note that this list is not totally inclusive and we’ll probably end up doing lots of additional things. On the other hand, we might not be able to do some things due to the events not spawning in the near future. The most important thing is that we’re flexible and keep the momentum going!
This will likely be a good opportunity for you to get basic world completion in Metria Province, Brisban Wildlands, Caledon Forest, Kessex Hills, Queensdale, Gendarran Fields and Harathi Hinterlands if you need it!
Do I need to do anything?
Not really – just turn up!
This is the fifth of these events that I’m hosting but don’t let that put you off; we get new faces every time and I assure you that we explain things very clearly to newcomers. All I ask is that you attend and have fun!
Please feel free to message me in-game on Duke Witherheart if you have any questions. 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.
See the snazzy second attachment if you want to publicise the event yourself!
Remember that you can play with us even if you are not a native of Gunnar’s – so long as you’re in the EU. Click here for more information.
Hope to see you there!
