I think on Alb side most people had fun during the Event, even though there were some chaotic phases especially at the first hours of the Event. But all in all the 140-160 albs managed to work as a team quite good (after spamming the Battlegroup for 3+ minutes ).

I wanna thank the Uthgard Staff, especially Eleras for hosting this, Vomii for his very good leadership, Avvy and Lightbearer for scouting the ways through Aerus and Rhyniel for helping during the auction, and of course every single Alb that joined the event and did his/her part for our success, was lovely to see only few Albs actually leaving the Battlegroup after some wipes, most stayed till the end.

Personally i would have liked to kill Goldurak and see the other mobs which we never reached in Aerus. So i hope this Event will be repeated in not to far future . Also i was a bit surprised of what kind of rewards were given out, i wouldnt have guessed that Reskins would actually be given, but i really think u made a good choice on doing this. Making a few chars a bit more colorful in a classic server is a good thing!

From leader perspective i am really not sure if i will/would do this again. Not because the leaders didn't get any rewards (otherwise there would be 100 leaders on the next event ^^, even though i won't denie i would'nt have accepted a little gift ) but just because it was partially really stressful, getting tons of personal sends requesting stupid or important things while trying to play with my own group and lead the Battlegroup when u are not sure yourself if ur decision is right or not, was sometimes really complicated ( i think one time when we were sandwiched by hibs and mids, Vomii yelled PUSH HIBS while i yelled PUSH MIDS ). And just ask my guildies how i like to do auctions (there is a reason i never lead Legionraids without Llithium, as he is doing the auction always ). My ****** computer and laggy gameplay were also not increasing the fun for me, even though 2 of my groupmembers had ld like every 10 minutes, and i didnt have one, so i was quite lucky i guess

Fazit: After leading 3 Zerg Events and several Relicraids, this was definately the biggest challenge yet and i would have collapsed without vomii on my side and the patients and disciplin of the most Albs!

by the way... was goldurak bugged or didn't we get the idea behind the mob? I mean it took one wipe to figure which dmg has to be dealt at what time, one more wipe 'till everyone in the zerg listened, one more not to break the habit... but in the last try i thought we figured it out.

For sure we would never had enough time 'till we get zerged again to kill him, but the mob even warped back to his spawn and reset back to 100% before we had him down to 90% several times, without changing the damage phase. And he wasn't far away from his spawn.

Goldurak should have been easy if half the hib zerg wasn't semi-afk/couldn't read/didn't have a double digit IQ.
After 15-20minutes of his hp going up and down like a jojo I still saw procs going off and some VW still doing his sidechain.

1. Alb: 7 (.5 )

7.5 could be said for Hibernia too.

In his first phase he was melee, and magic attacks including procs/dmgadd heal him, so we spammed earth pets I think, and got all the casters to hit with their staves. In his second phase all melee damage healed him, so you have to get all the casters to nuke him.

I think...

But I wondered if when you kill him in his second phase, he then turns into an archer and you can only attack with a bow.

Maybe you will find out some day

is it a hint?

I attacked him with bow during the first phase. Good thing I had plenty of arrows in my quiver.

Nice to see reskins again, tho i think they are way too rare. No i dont want any1 to be able to get em because that would just be silly and make em not special but make em buyable for 20.000 bounty points or 20p or something like that would be awesome. Also a way of getting money out of the game
(even the BP way as ppl would use more money on recharges etc)

Just a suggestion. Could also make more events tho that would be very time consuming for the staff

I quite like the BP idea, allthough 20k might be a bit 'low' for a reskin. Perhaps something like 25k for a glow effect, 30k for an armor reskin and 35k for a weapon reskin could do. Imo money is a terrible idea imo since people will just start farming cash most likely instead of RvRing, whereas with BP, the only way to get it is by RvRing... A Lot.

Too expensive for something that gives your character no improvement whatsoever. Same goes for the armor enhancement npcs, several plat just to have your character look better in your eyes. I'm surprised dyes don't cost 500g each

Well, if you think it's too expensive, just don't buy it, but I guess to some it's a nice extra. The day u get fully reskinned by BPs is they day u reach RR13 anyway, which -I guess- deserves a nice look after all.

Great event all in all. Im glad I could attend - didnt think I'd make it as I promised my wife she could get her hair done and I was covering the kids. Thankfully they behaved.

I hope to see more events on Uthgard and appreciate all the work that goes into them - I'm glad to see reskins were given out as I've been here since about May and haven't even had a shot at one. I want the cloak of hearts <3.

Gris, Vomii, great work. As a former regular leader on live, I understand what it takes herding 150 'cattle' around - imagine doing that for si dungeon raids when u had 150 people for *8-10 hours* hehehehehehehe
