That's some nice spam
.That's some nice spam by our roaming correspondent, RENNIA After being so close, so many times, it was finally time for the real thing: You gained raid experience! You have completed achievement: Hero of The Cooling Chamber Auraya tells the guild, 'holy crap' Lollaorn tells the guild, 'WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Coll tells the guild, '!!!!!!' Coll tells the guild, '!!!!!!' Zaph tells the raid, 'well done everyone' Huggibare tells the guild, 'WOOOOT' Nayvis tells the group, 'woot' Coll tells the guild, '!!!!!!' Thorgador tells the guild, 'YIPEEEEE' Iwonna tells the guild, 'YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Auraya tells the guild, 'grats :)' Thorgador tells the guild, 'YIPEEEEE' Raznor tells the guild, 'RAGGHHHHHHH' Ragaruk tells the guild, 'woot gratz NC' Knerrar tells the guild, 'we want more)))' Yinla tells the guild, 'GOAL ' Raznor tells the guild, 'NC ROCKS' Huggibare tells the guild, 'Thats some Nice spam' Monsark tells the guild, 'hmm strange...was easy tonite ))' Those of us who managed to miss out on this golden moment, did of course want to know - what was the key to success? Siaka tells the guild, 'No I agreed you could change ZAPH back to a female' Really Sia, was that what made it? Nothing else? Siaka tells the guild, 'we didnt die so much' Siaka tells the guild, 'well I did once, but I got better' Hmm, We'd better have to ask someone else: Daclergy tells the guild, 'As soon as Holgate went LD.. I knew we would win' Okey... I think we'll leave it at that.... Grats Mellissaa & Yinla on Palladium Encrusted Phalangeal Clay, Blonk on Chamber Etching Spike, Lake & grats Ssponge on Droplet of the Frozen! And grats NC for killing the beast for the first - but certainly not the last - time! Now, where is that winning screenshot?  No, not that one, Grunkuck has 22% still on it. I want the winning one, with the monster on 0%, or the chest? Where is it? Zaph tells you, 'I have screenshots from the 0% wipe, but none from the kill, as at the time I was kiteing some nastys' Halmosi tells you, 'No screenshots? Never happened. Dont care that you have 53 witnesses...'
Everyone likes a bit of good grub ...
I say, how Beastly!by our roaming correspondent, RENNIA With Fippy down several times, we wanted something more challenging. We decided to pay another visit to the Beast in the Cooling Chamber, knowing that we were rather close last time.  It went rather well, even if we had to make some sacrifices:  Well, maybe not that well...  But wiping is nothing that scares NC, in fact, some people are willing to do almost anything to get in  For awhile we almost had it - until Grunkuck and her mate had us...  But we will be back! Very well done tonight guys!
We've ruined his lands ... again!
Dog Fight!First it was just an ordinary night, with ordinary things happening....The Behemoths, The Tower ... ... Drinking... Iwonna tells the raid, 'lets get it down next chance we get :) extra ration of rum to the nukers that get aggro :)' Holgate tells the raid, 'I'll take it in jugs please ..' ....Dancing.... Iwonna tells the raid, 'its difficult take make an afk check in such a tight spot... maybe we should dance around and say woof' Auraya says, 'meow' Glymmershad says, 'maybe we should go and let the afk's die' MTs.... (no wonder, with all that drinking) Iwonna tells the raid, 'small break now... get rezzed and buffed and full of mana :)' Pung tells the raid, 'i do nada then =)' Pung tells the raid, 'ops mt' Huggibare tells the raid, 'hey Tax we on for Sewers after raid tonight mate?' Taxman tells the guild, 'i dont know him ...honest' Auraya tells the guild, 'if your gonna mt at least make it a mortifyingly embarrasing one' As you see, just an ordinary Sunday's raid. And thanks to, or despite, all that drinking, dancing and mt:ing, we spanked behemoths (again), laid the tower in ruins (as usual), and took the dog out for a walk: Dapss tells the raid, '☺INCOMING► Fippy Darkpaw the Destroyer ◄INCOMING☺ Brought by Dps Entertainment™ '  Here they come ... oo-ooo, oo-ooo, call them the diamond dogs ... Maybe it was the rum, maybe it wasn't, but Hal got carried away: Halmosi tells the raid, 'Yip! a shade of Fippy Darkpaw hit it' Halmosi tells the raid, 'Yip! Huggibare hit it' Halmosi tells the raid, 'Yip! Halmosi hit it'  We all have our dark side, to say the least And dealing in death is the nature of the beast And finally; Siaka tells the raid, 'We are Heroes! Amazing work all - our first Underfoot raid victory' Halmosi tells the raid, 'More! More! :)' Grats NC on our first Fippy Win! And special grats to: Fiigmo, Zaph (Scintillating Obsidianite Rune), Lormuc (Brilliantly Pulsating Crystallized Cosgrove Shard), Asparux (Brilliantly Pulsating Crystallized Cosgrove Shard), Lorei (Palladium Encrusted Tarsal Clay), Alumien (Palladium Encrusted Carpal Clay), Glamlocw (Runed Sabertooth Femur) and ... Siaka tells the raid, 'Girdle of Unending Strife' Tanith tells the raid, '/5 ah sounds handy :)' Tanith tells the raid, 'meep MT' ... Grats Kimble on Girdle of Unending Strife Siaka tells the raid, 'Well that was a full chest and no mistake' Halmosi tells the raid, 'heh, he probably looted US a few times.'  The dogs of war don't negotiate The dogs of war won't capitulate And 2 people had a bet:  One lost  This used to be a Funhouse - but now its full of evil clowns This news item brought to you by the delightful Rennia. Thanks to Zaph for the screenies, and to Cruor for making Gonadon turn P!nk
We Eat the Zeks for Brektfast!
Zeks for Brektfast!!It seems like just a few weeks ago that I posted some news warbling on about the Brothers Zek, how much of a pain they are and how, at some point, we'd pop back for a friendly chat, beer and some severe spanking. It was howling night in December and so cold for some that they felt yet another attempt of the Zeks would be a pointless attempt and we should focus our efforts on Crushbone. As tempting as those orcs are, we decided a wipe against the Zeks was what we needed to get into a cheery festive spirit, so off we went..  It's safe up here, I think I'll stay here, get me a coffee will you? We wiped in about 5 minutes, personally, I blamed the Druids  Check your back for a Wizard's wand burn Off we went again, with a revised strategy, well, technically it wasn't so much a revised strategy, but more of a "can you people please do what you're told" type of strategy.. It didn't seem to be working so well..  Are the HP going up or down? I can't quite tell! We soldiered on, each one of us attempting to find a way to slip a dagger in the back of a druid should the chance present itself..  Are the HP going up or down? I still can't quite tell! After another 5 or 10 minutes, we decided that we'd uncovered a bug in the script, 2 in fact: (1) The HP on the Zeks were still going down and (2) we were all still alive..  See, HP bugged, no question about it! Time passes and then, shock of shocks...  That explained their Chesty cough! We were victorious, but worse, it actually was reasonably straight forward, it was, as Dane had said, simply of question of doing as we're told (clearly not directed at the wizards of course) Full of joy, energy and confidence, we figured we'd have a quick look at Eriak, to check out the event, the emotes and the like, as prep for an attempt later on..  He certainly looks tall! There was a lot of ducking, moving, standing still, running around, dodging some relocated MPG mobs, who certainly didn't travel well!  Big and slow, a bit like Augok! Fighting continued, nukes a flying, the usual helpful raid instructions: Danelgar tells the raid, 'Burn it!!!' Look, what else do we do? Give it an ice cream? Saying that, Eriak clearly wasn't receiving any instructions either:  Mob without useful raid instructions! Somebody ought to tell him to move it!  Well, Duh, Uh Oh! SPLAT!!!!!!!!!!  Game Over, Insert Coin! And Wow did we celebrate!! It was a major victory for us to get these 2 raids behind us, good riddance, that's for sure. So, what else can we get up to? Well, we've being scrying quite a bit, getting to understand the lay of the land with in the intention to teach Lord Brekt a few things, we've had a few strategies...  Erm, do you ALL have to ignore our DONT BREAK MEZ instructions? Things like this can only lead to trouble..  Just wait until I go get a beer and let this lot loose! That part of the run seemed to go just a little bit too quickly and then all of a sudden we're sacrificing anyone we can and created so much mess for the instance clean up crews to deal with..  Somebody is going to report us, we just know it Fortunately we have awesome rogues and we nothing takes us unawares!!!!!!  Erm, Is this a trap? Things didn't get much better, somebody was going to get their eye poked out!  Fiigmo, alive? It all ended terribly and they sent Chief Dungeon Cleaner Volkana to talk to us.  You ARE going to use the recycling bins aren't you? Clearmoon had a chat with him and he left (I suspect after trading hair style designs, but I can only speculate due to the 2 daggers in my back at this moment in time) It was time for us to progress, it was late, we were tired and we needed some Brektfast, so we thought we'd pop in, without a flash in the camera.  Chief Hairdresser Brekt! So, hey, let's give the guy a shot, I mean, those curling tongs don't look too bad, how much can they hurt?  Tanith also taking fashion advice! We started to get a strange feeling, a Time Lordy type feeling, Tavid Dennant watch out!  Looking scary! We maintained our focus, ignoring the time focus on a single goal - to get Brekt down fast. Get Brektfast! And down he went!  Brekt DOWN!! MANY Congratulations NC, we rock, we roll and we party like there's no tomorrow! I'd like to close this news post with a sincere Thank You to Danelgar for his raid leadership, he is NC through and through, we all salute you.  Be well Danelgar, we'll see you when you come back :) Special thanks to loads of people for the screenies and the deaths!
Cured Ham? Spam? Fish? Who is the Curator?
Who Cured the Curator? NC!!!!We are so on a roll it's unreal. Not just a few weeks after entering the Tower we're off to meet the Curator. Actually we "did" the Trophy room very quickly, in fact too quickly and I missed it when I was on the road, and as it appears that I am the only one capable of taking screenshots, the full glory and excitement of our Trophy Victory is lost in the annuls of "yeh, been there, seen it, done it, got the T-Shirt, got paint on the T-Shirt, started using the T-Shirt to polish the car, etc" Anyway, on with the show, but first, before I start, I must register some concern about our tanks and chanters.  Well, er, I don't know what to say, probably best that I don't! I thought this time around that I'd give you a little insight into how are raids are "run"/"operated"/"happen" with Dane leading, so I've a bunch of quotes to share, with obligatory screenshots. We were all camping at the Tower door, usual spot really, but a little unnerving for those around.. Amatra says, 'quite a gathering!,' Blackjaw says, 'crowd control O.o' Halmosi says, 'Bite me, kitty. :)' Fluggy says, 'we heard there was free food' Rominique says, 'some 1 said theyre b beer' Dabeach says, 'come on the RKIII mgbs WoT, i know ye have em' Cistinne says, 'beer? I'm here for the limbo contest... The problem with beer on raids can be summarised nicely listening to a few of our dangerous members.. Taxman pees. Glymmershad fartsssss. Amatra says, 'stop loitering you lot! this a loitering free zone!.' Glamlocw begins to cast unfold portaloo. Glamlocw enters portaloo , some strange sounds and odours emmit from it. Lanadenae summed it up.. Lanadenae starts looking for a less infantile guild. We have good control with our raid approach, we know our target and where we're heading: Danelgar tells the raid, 'ok peeps, looks like we're ready to party' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Zone up. Get small. Head to Trophy room' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Stasis .......' Well, he's a druid, enough said. Int is a dump stat. Raid stategy was incoming: Danelgar tells the raid, 'I hope all tank types rolled a druid tor necro this weekend and went to practice some kiting ;-)' .... Danelgar tells the raid, 'Finally we take Curator down' (He didn't know how right he would be) Danelgar tells the raid, 'That's it. Easy on paper' Yes, easy on paper.. on paper, like paper tanks. The chanters were confident:  Love that confidence! As you may remember from our first Mindshear approach, we're a brave lot, sometimes too brave. Danelgar tells the raid, 'Let's have a countdown pls tanks' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Go go go' Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH' Danelgar tells the raid, 'EVAC' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Get safe if you can' Yes, well, you know, Sundays are always tough, Roast Dinners, glasses of wine, wrong mobs, it all adds up. In we go again.. Danelgar tells the raid, 'Right, round 2 ... ding ding' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Countdown pls tanks' Pixtt Curator of Discord shouts 'I see that you are back again. You will not have as easy a time this time.' Not this time, either! Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Kill spawn' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Nice and steady peeps Danelgar tells the raid, 'Final 2 next ' Danelgar tells the raid, 'TRIGGER' Danelgar tells the raid, 'KITE Flash' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Nice, keep going' Danelgar tells the raid, 'NExt is Lanys and FV and Curator' Danelgar tells the raid, 'TRIGGER' Danelgar tells the raid, 'They'll pop in a sec ...' Danelgar tells the raid, 'That's it' No it wasn't.. Danelgar tells the raid, 'Get safe if you can' Danelgar tells the raid, 'EVAC' Get safe means killing Rennia..  Sweet, sweet screenshot Time to try again, Dane did a "final tweak", cough, whatever that means! Danelgar tells the raid, 'Final tweak .....' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Let's do it to it. Countdown pls tanks' Pixtt Curator of Discord shouts 'I see that you are back again. You will not have as easy a time this time.' Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH' Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Keep it going. Doing well' Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH' Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Kite Flash' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Keep kiting' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Keep the kiters up Danelgar tells the raid, 'More healing on the kiters. All healers pls. We're losing too many' But... Danelgar tells the raid, 'Get safe if you can pls' Dane comes up with a new strategy.. a winning one some might say. Danelgar tells the raid, 'Let's have a smooth run to Curator pls. Followed by a flawless burn. And a steady beat-down of Curator for the win' Danelgar tells the raid, 'That's all I ask. So not much really ;-)' This approach seemed to work a lot better: Danelgar tells the raid, 'Countdown pls tanks' Pixtt Curator of Discord shouts 'I see that you are back again. You will not have as easy a time this time.' Danelgar tells the raid, 'TRIGGER Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH' Danelgar tells the raid, 'kill him' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Kite Flash' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Keep kiting' Danelgar tells the raid, '30 secs to Curator' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Max focus peeps' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Evac if you can' Of course, we are progressing things you know, we're down to 19%  Getting there! It was time to truly focus, all those people that were actually watching TV came back, wizards came back from AFK, the usual kind of thing.. A revised strategy - GUILT! (Always a winner) Danelgar tells the raid, 'Let's get it right this time pls. That last attempt would easily have been a win' Danelgar tells the raid, '<< STRAT CHANGE >>' Danelgar tells the raid, 'Last attempt of the night folks' Danelgar tells the raid, 'We can win this!! Last run was smoother than a really smooth thing' He's going to die... oh wait, he's on 0% - argh  0% is a win right, evac and go home? A few encouraging words.. Danelgar tells the raid, '>>> MAX DPS - BURN BURN BURN ' Danelgar tells the raid, '>>> MAX DPS - BURN BURN BURN ' Danelgar tells the raid, '>>> MAX DPS - BURN BURN BURN ' It always makes me wonder this, what are people doing that requires the RL to remind us to DPS? /duck Suddenly, we wiped on 0% Danelgar tells the raid, 'Holy Crap!! We did it!!!'  Oh wait, dead mob, we won!!! Congratulations NC, we ROCK ROCK ROCK! Special thanks to loads of people for the screenies and the deaths!
Did someone say Potato Blight?
Did someone say Potato Blight?So, it's been a bit quiet at NC towers recently, we've spent a lot of time farming - farming equipment and Tower keys..  Well, what else do you do in EQ when needing keys? We've been to see these brothers a couple of times recently too, and frankly they are not particularly co-operative and anyway, we felt they needed a break!  Does he seem taller to you? So, off we trotted (see first picture) back into our Pallorax meeting spot. We wondered what would happen if we clicked on this big door with our collection of keys..  Erm, I don't like the look of this We weren't nervous about this at all, no hiding on the stairs, oh no, not us!  NC prides itself on preparation, strategies and teamwork. It's that teamwork that allows us to venture into new raids with little frustration and very rarely do we wipe. And again, Dane proved his worth in this regard:  A proud statistic Anyway, we found that the Brain on legs was good at tidying up..  All nice and tidy, how neat! And we got ready for another charge….. CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!  Erm, so anyway, Linc stayed alive long enough to make an observation:  Moving along, we made some changes to our strategy, you know the kind of thing: "Stay alive", "don't die", "heal the wizards", that kind of thing. The revised strategy worked much better:  Did you see him Ding then? Time was ticking, like time does and we began to believe that we were missing something, something obvious, something that would get us through it.. so we re-engaged in true NC fashion, with determination, grit and a bit of "can do" in our pockets.. We fought and battled and got him closer and closer to the magic number, at one point Tanith actually stood up and engaged:  So where's this mob then? Longer and longer we fought, wizards taking screenshots, randomly nuking and generally getting in the way, we were getting so close:  Isn't 4% a win then? And then… it happened...  He's ported again hasn't he? Nope, he's dead and he left his chest..  Congratulations!!! Congratulations Nordlys Crusaders on defeating The Mindblight on our first attempt!! Cough. Special thanks to Dane for leading, The Guild for the great experience and the Mindblight for all the screenshots
Nordly's Crusaders in Gender Testing Shocker
NC Tanks in Gender Test Shocker !!!!!!!!!!Antonius Bayle was shocked earlier this week to learn that the Guild Nordly's Crusaders had been performing random gender tests on its members. For far too long the membership had been suspicious at the aggro abilities of some members as well as them never stripping off in the pool in the guild hall. Guild leader Clearmoon, fresh from a recent 48 hour session at the hairdresser was unavailable for comment, but our roving reporters were able to snap some photos and get some dubious quotes. New high speed monk, Caster, just didn't seem to have the right view from behind when pulling mobs, a recent photo on hir return raised suspicions even further.  I am a wom-man, I tells ya and I'll take anyone on that doubts it Siaka, supposed sister of Clearmoon was non-plussed, "It's clear I'm a woman, all women have muscles like this" - be that as it may Siaka, but usually those muscles are in different places!!! We'll get to the bottom of this.  I don't know what all the fuss is about? Similarly, "Ms" Toidi, as s/he insists on being called, was in denial when out searching for mobs to kill (supposedly cleaning, but suspicions are high at this point with these folk!)  Seriously, lets get kicking ass, erm, I mean vacuuming this place! NC continued to raise questions about the trio - how can it be that a "girl" can hit so hard and keep aggro so much, and so the gender tests began. The wizards had a secret meeting, Anduain, Glamlocw, Yinla, Zykotik, Crepaidor, and decided on a course of action to reveal the imposters. About 2 hours later, the wizards came back from AFK and reminded themselves what it was they were supposed to be doing. With regret they decided they needed to call on some enchanters to dispel the illusions that their high intelligence had uncovered. A further 2 hours of AFKness later they called on Casidia to sneak in some casting.. And it was true, Siaka was revealed in all his beardy look and general gruffness - his voice, always a deep contralto now just seemed right.  I swear, I've ALWAYS been like this Similarly, Mr Toidi, as we now know, was more than happy to be openly holding his piece in raids!  Look at the sword on me! Anyway, the truth is out, though they continue to be in total denial, as this recent exchange shows, emotions are running high in the guild, "Sexchange" or simply "The Truth" - I'll let you decide… [Wed Sep 16 20:26:31 2009] Bobajob tells the guild, 'Toidi - you're a bloke !! :-)' [Wed Sep 16 20:41:34 2009] Inlania tells the guild, 'hmm siaka looked better as a woman know looks like a duel wielding pally' [Wed Sep 16 20:42:39 2009] Siaka tells ncteam:5, 'bah a girl stops plucking the odd facial hair and suddenly everyone;s questioning her gender' [Wed Sep 16 20:42:46 2009] Zunar tells ncteam:5, 'damn, I was about to ask who that new guy was' [Wed Sep 16 20:43:50 2009] Zaph tells ncteam:5, 'thing is, according to the laws of physics, "something" cannot come from nothing, so if Siaka is now improved, then who is lacking ...' [Wed Sep 16 21:23:52 2009] Linc tells ncteam:5, 'I vote for Malar or Toidi' [Wed Sep 16 21:24:21 2009] Siaka tells ncteam:5, 'Toidi still too woozy after his op i betcha' [Wed Sep 16 21:24:25 2009] Siaka tells ncteam:5, 'I know I am Special thanks to no one, you saw nothing....
Congratulations Glymmershad!!!!
Congratulations Glymmershad, 3000AAs and counting!!!Nothing gets a guild up and at them more than high achieving players, take Glymmershad for instance, a mage, known for grouping with other mages and Ping-Ponging Raid leaders from one end of a zone to another - we heartily recommend it - achieved the tremendous milestone of 3000AAs earlier this month. He's a shy guy (hah!), so Holgate calmly nominated Glymm for a mention on the news pages, so here we are!! Congrats Glymm, I look forward to that beer sometime this month! Oh, and whilst you're at it, please can you stop parking your mounts with the other mages and wizards in random places when we raid, it's really not on..  Where on earth do we buy the tickets? We've done a lot of farming these last couple of weeks, we do that, we like it, it does get a little boring, but the beastlords find a way to keep themselves busy when it gets a little quiet.  Who let the dogs out? Rather than churn through a really interesting collection of raid screenshots, most of which you have already seen elsewhere, I am certain of it, I've being collecting various interesting snippets of NC life, including some screenies from the officer channel. But firstly, someone, somewhere, please give Clearmoon some fashion advice, it really doesn't seem to be getting anywhere.  More bad hair I suppose we'd look to Siaka to give some assistance, but after reading this, I'm not so sure:  I want to be, er, a man, playing a woman who got a sex change into a man /boggle We have a laugh in our groups, in fact sometimes we are SO funny it's unreal. For example, a recent Kera group we were doing as we were told, literally, i.e. instructions were "Healers over there" (Yes, the infamous "there"), anyway, this is the conversation that ensued:  Well, we certainly won't be doing any of that nuking nonsense Hey, now I mention it, last update I showed a screenshot of Fluggy's corpse, clearly an error as Fluggy never dies...  Must be an evil twin and speaking of evil, upgrades for Augok too...  We're all such a loving bunch speaking of loving, I was having some connectivity issues earlier this month..  We're all such a loving bunch (2) and further showing our compassion, one of the officers was on a no pie diet and asked us not to mention food, so of course we complied  We're all such a loving bunch (3) and we are so understanding of raid etiquette too:  We're all such a loving bunch (4) We've had lots of interesting discussions and requests for help this month, but one really stands out, let's see how we can all help Giskard realise his dream, perhaps in the next raid?  We're all such a loving bunch (5) And finally, because there always needs to be an "and finally", I refer back to the news earlier this month, Mindshear, I thought I'd share a SS of our attempt last week:  I mean come on, there isn't even a mob here people!!!! For those of you that want to join our awesome and truly hilarious guild, Head over here to see more: I want to apply to NC? But, be warned, sometimes Hissa leads  Ermmm... and then if Hissa gets a bit peckish...  Ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! and if we're not paying attention (like that EVER happens)  Scraaatch and he's not above a bit of evil himself..  Poor Dane (hah, no way poor Dane) Congratulations again once more to Glymmershad :) Special thanks to Giskark, Holgate, Cistinne, Sonal and others for the content and screenshots
August 2009 - NC, a busy Guild!
KOR Blimey, what a palaver!!What a fantastic time NC has being having over summer, so many people have picked up those flying moth eaten rats that it's embarrassing to even mention it, it seems to be the latest Wizard and Mage fashion item, which explains everything I'd say.. anyroad, this guy drops these rats.. frequently:  What's in the box? However, flying rat kills aside, we have been busy, very busy, it all started one evening with a merry little stroll into Korafax, looking for some Paladins, well, Palsomethingorother, and, in true NC style we found what we were looking for...  You know, this really doesn't look like a paladin to me. Well, it turned out it wasn't, and it wasn't particularly keen on giving out heals to wizards either (maybe it was a paladin after all) We decided to regroup, made some assumptions: (a) it won't be healing us, (b) it hits hard and (c) we might need to concentrate, you know, run invis, follow raid instructions, that kind of thing - and he bit the dirt. It seemed straight forward enough, NC being NC point (c) tends to be our "strongest" point, /cough /evac, and on we travelled... Next stop was the Venom Lordess (Aka Clearmoon), who really looked pretty rough, I guess Guild Leading this bunch of rowdy rebels would turn anyone grey, but at least get a hair cut woman!  Clearmoon and her bad hair day After the experimental raid wipe, it's a tradition, after all, he died, a terrible terrible death and seemed to spawn a ton of frogs..  Hissa has been out with the pills again But we're not finished, oh no, there's more to do on this event and we're a determined guild, being a friendly kind of place we do take raiding very seriously and we succeed where so many others fail.. Undaunted by the task ahead it was on to the Mindshear. For those of you that have encountered this tasty bit of fun, you'll realise how important positioning and Audio Triggers are. For those of you that raid with NC in this encounter, you'll realise how loudly Dane shouts in this event. For those of you that raided those nights, I hope you'll recover soon, and to Dane, be happy I was dead (by your hands) and couldn't take screenshots! Really, if you concentrate, listen to instructions, do as you are told, move when you are supposed to, follow the MA, run away from the raid at the right time, ask for cures at the right time, change mobs at the right time, run to the right mob at the right time, don't stand in the middle, don't stand too close, don't stand too far away, don't stand over "there", don't stand on one leg, don't taunt your healer, don't nuke the mezzed mobs and generally kill the right thing at the right time, it's a straightforward event...  re we supposd to hit this one or go FD or "LD"? Add all of this to a very successful Giants, Giants, Giants run and you'll see we're rocking and rolling !! All in all a very productive couple of weeks, despite it being summer NC continues to thrive! And if you're interested in joining our fine guild, and honestly, who wouldn't be? Head over here to see more: I want to apply to NC? Special thanks to Zaph, Zunar & others for the screenshots
Members Update
Comings and GoingsIt's been a while since we did a namecheck for changes in the guild, but I think we should pay tribute to the two officers who've returned to the ranks recently after long and faithful service ... many thanks, Llia and Shadowsoldier ... and wish all the best to our newest recruits to the officer team, Anduain and Casidia. Since the last update Cistinne, Cristoelven and Wiktor have also joined us, but sadly Oyvarx and Jobill have announced their intentions to retire from EQ ... for now! We'll still be here if and when they change their minds ...
