    The thing is we are meant to lose at this point. Trying to find a way to win now is like trying to find a way for Romeo and Juliet to live when you know it's going to end badly.

    yes its to end badly but the 12 won't return on their own volition. Yes it seems rather obscure and "pointless" to you but for the event it fits... I can't wait till like 3rd update they go okay all mobs are level 100 NM so like lvl 150 they all have AOE 9999 Damage that burns every 3 seconds and has a radius of the whole area so all die no matter what. yet people will still fight so the next update will be "Okay guys go pray to the stones"
    People are so obstinant that Fighting must be the only content for a game, no other form of accomplishing a task.

    I am not saying people shouldn't be fighting them but I think they have a quicker respawn timer expecially for the harder to kill mobs like the juggernaut. People can still do that, but I don't think that is what SE had in mind for us to do exactly right now...

    Well I wasn't saying it was pointless really. I'm just thinking that you can't get upset about fighting a losing battle when the plot is that we are supposed to lose. I for one am enjoying the lvl 90 mobs. I'm not helping with the fight with hopes of actually killing the things, I'm helping with the fight because it's fun to roleplay and it's fun to join in on a group endeavor.

    Just don't be disappointed if there is no way to "win" this event... y'know?

    lol yes I know, I was enjoying it, lol don't get me wrong. I was fighting the mobs and just clicked for me after we killed a Marbolo, hey I think I should go pray to Nald'Thal, you know for the protection of his city so I ran noticed I was only one there (on Gungrir) and prayed 2 times before running back, then thought why not state this on the forum the word will spread better that way then trying to shout in this chaos lol. I find it interesting that I am not the only one to get this idea.

    OK ... Lots has happened since this post. However, no one has pointed out that everyone who failed to kill Raven cannot pray. This is game bias in the worst way. Just because you couldn't find a party that was strong and quick enough to kill raven... now you can't help save the world.

    Anyone can /pray, it is an emote. You don't have to do the quest living on a prayer, you just need to pray at the mobs. Apparently. Balmung is too backwards to try it much

    The Sargitanus prayer group can get instant death by praying. They state that you must be wearing the Prayer Ring to accomplish this. I have gone to all the stones and spammed pray at mobs with no effect.

    I do not have the Ring.

    You say you have to be part of a group? So that is another explanation as to why when you spam pray it has no effect. May also be the ring

    then whats point logging in? if i know its just gunna end badly where i die or spend the next 10 days auto attacking the same mob seems pointless and not worthwhile.

    Guess this is fine for some people though. I was hoping for something i could "experience."

    I would say the point to logging in now is to witness the end. We're not logging in to win anymore. In fact, how would you feel if you did accomplish something? You would probably expect some kind of recognition, which won't happen because we are past the save point.
