First: Grats to Chaos and Aurorae Alliances on Lionna for being the first Im told to kill the new Antharas.
Antharas is much harder now as intended Im sure.
Makes for an interesting raid.
Debuffs landed but took no effect so gg the patch did its job.
However I think there is still room for debuffs.
Maybe the extreme ones?
Bliazzard?
Demon Wind?
Things like that
XP:
Nice boost on the xp but the range I am hearing is 300k all the way to 14mil per person
On something like this I think NC needs to figure out a way to make the XP table give even xp to everyone in range.
essentially change the table from Damage based to time based or something
An Overlord off to the side buffing shouldnt get 600k while a mage gets 14+mil
Same for Bishops in their own group(no dmg ever) they should see a respectable amount of xp.
An idealisstic suggestion but a pretty decent one imo.
I think by changing him this way you(NC) will see him "farmed" less which Im sure was the goal
If Antharas is this hard now I dont want to imagine Valakas
<----Fought Valakas, on the C4 PTS.. and Trust me He's not easy.. out of a 150+ some groups.. Valakas easily took us out with either, his fire breath, or his tail...
The Xp from Valakas is pretty sweet from what I heard from the GM that was sponsering the Valakas raid on the C4 PTS, and out of the 5 people that died towards the end when everyone up and ran because of the big bad dragon, for a breif moment only about a sliver or so not a big damage done to him. It was like this dragon walked away with nothing more than a mear scratch.. and this is after fighting a bunch of people that was in their high 70's... So tell me if Antharas got harder after his death than if Valakas dies does this make him the king of all dragons? cause honestly I would hate to go against Valakas soon after his death.
Um.... any other servers with "Server police" ally? How come these guys with strong relations to China take away all the cream from real players and are not slaughtered by admins?
Chinese raids (i.e., pro-gaming, not sure about 3rd party programs) is one of the heavier hits to the intended in-game economy, i believe, and also it encourages ebaying.
Um.... Not sure of any other servers, but on Teon they are "legalized": couple of months ago i watched them a few times taking raids with 3rd party programs (1 tank running, 20+ identical necros (?) nuking like chorus, all names similar to english surnames, chinese boss (had some conversation) etc... many reasons to suspect). Now the same clan with same ppl is in ServerPolice ally, dealing with raid bosses only.
Having another server with an ally that is named the same and does everything just like Teons' ServerPolice... well it makes me think that they're somehow related.
Recently i heard that SP are more or less legit players now, with sole purpose of raiding. They even make deals with other alliances about taking/not taking this or that raid boss. But, i believe, they might be caught red-handed for ebaying (as sellers).
