I ran World of Darkness last weekend and man it was a mess. And at the time I thought it'd be a good idea share my journey back to the world of darkness. Lots of silly mistakes, lots of failures.
Link to my montage of last weekends run:

Just wanted to share this vid and help everyone smile more today!

You actually got in? :O i queued for 3 n half hours as SCH and not even half the required players ever joined the queue.
Id take hectic bloodied carpet WOD over no WOD.
Syrcus Tower is the odd one at the moment tho not a single mechanic need be played (except starfall). -

I have not ran those in over 8 months. Unless they do something to make them useful again. I doubt most of the population will revisit them.

Oh man, I ran all three raids last Friday and they were all smooth as silk. No wipes, dps brought the burn, plenty of fun and joking around. I ran BRD for lols in ST and actually got two comms from my alliance. O_O ...I guess they liked my stupid song macros or somethin'.

Good video, that was fun to watch! It was funny to see a ton of people failing mechanics....when most of them had high level titles. XD
Fridays seem to be pretty good days to queue...you know, if you want that Carbontwine for an upgrade. ;) -
10-28-2015, 07:07 AMElysianNeemaHaha, It took me a very long time to get into World of Darkness. Like around 40 Minutes -.-Quote:

Tried to get into CT yesterday.. still trying.. >.<
What can they do to entice players to go back there again?
Special mount drops for all 4 24-man raids?
I don't know, but SE, please look forward to do something about this. Thank you.
OP - nice vid lol; can't wait to get back to the pain again! T_T -

Otherwise, what you said like a special mount that drops after doing all four of them wouldn't be a bad idea.
But then again, it was kind of repetitive doing the old content raids...
So whatever they come up with I hope is new and different than before. -

I feel ya. I had to spam WoD for 2 weeks 1 month ago for my Onion Knight Card. I've witnessed the same set of mistakes and derps, raids disbanding after several minutes of wiping during the first boss. People name calling, trolling, tanks arguing to each other. People getting kicked. People not doing their job. The list is so long... but that's FFXIV 24-man raid for you. I cringe everytime people ask for hard 24-man raids. They don't know what they're asking for...
-
10-29-2015, 03:01 AMElysianNeemaDefinitely agreeable on all of those. It doesn't take much for all hell to break loose.Quote:

Needs more Behemoth one shotting everyone with Ecliptic Meteor because there is no rocks for anyone to hide behind.

You say it was a 90 minute run, but according to the clock it was 45. Still long for WoD, but not catastrophic.
-
10-29-2015, 05:37 PMEvergreyHmm... Guess I was just lucky. I did a WoD yesterday due to boredom and for old times sake, and maybe get a shot on the minion. Some time after the raid was done I noticed I had that card in my inventory. I didn't even know there was a card drop in that raid.Quote:
