Why are you hitting my grandmother’s fruit cake? That’s terrifyingly anti-social of you.
Our resident artist is currently working up new logos for our website that show our true dedication to the Choctopus and his glorious trident. She has promised us either a monocle or a top-hat for the Choctopus, so we will be admirably spiffy as we strut our stuff in Divinity’s Reach.
Anyone reading this: You were around for Guild Wars 1, right?
Remember the Fissure of Woe? Ever clear it with a party of 8 necros, none of them minion-masters?
We did! =)
THE STORY OF TERRIBLE GROUP NIGHT
We had seven people online. One had a bad internet connection and couldn’t really play. Soooo… the other six grabbed the worst builds they could think of for all their classes, grabbed two pub monks as healers, and we ran Terrible Group Night while the 7th person got his stopwatch ready.
The challenge: See how long the monks last in a Fissure run while trying to keep the worst builds ever alive, before they quit on us. If they quit before 5 minutes are up, we lose. If they quit after 5 minutes, we win. If we finish the entire thing, we still lose. =)
More than that, though! Whichever monk stayed longer won nifty prizes, too. We didn’t tell them that at the beginning, of course, but as soon as the first monk left we’d go give the second all his prizes.
One guy made it 9 minutes chasing our trio of Ride The Lightning Elementalists in spite of Famine, Frozen Soil, and Energizing Wind being up thanks to the pet-ranger who forgot pet skills and the E/R who was actually playing that ridiculous “cripple him and then rain fire down as he limps away!” build from the box-cover.
He got 5 globs of ectoplasm and a black dye for his efforts. A guild offer too, but he declined. I wonder why?
More stories later! I must save some of them for future bumping opportunities.
