Skull Throne report: Tier 2

Saturday and Sunday were the first two days I really had to play in T2. Mostly before, I was PVEing during the week before work. Mornings are never a good time to find action. Order did not disappoint. We had a group-and-a-half of Fight on the Flag queueing together for much of the day Sunday.

It was such a blast!

Fighting on the flag in Phoenix Gate

And on some occasions, we managed to get nine of our guildies in the same scenario! Sorry Order, I felt sorry for some of you guys. You definitely put up a great fight.

We ran into a formidable Slayer zerg in Stonetroll Crossing. They only frightened us for a second, though, until our two Sorceresses AOEd them to death.

Queues popped consistently every 10 minutes or so in the morning. Around dinnertime, it was every five minutes or so. We also mixed in a few keep and BO defenses.

If any Gorfangers are wondering, we did check now and then to see how the action was going.

Long story short, if Destro was evenly matched, we would not engage. We didn’t see any occasions where Order needed help, so we played on Skull Throne the entire time.

We are having fun on Skull Throne, but I think we would all prefer to play our RR50-60 characters Oh well. We go where the fun is, and this weekend was probably the most fun I’ve had in a really long time. Thanks Skull Throne T2 players!

Pylith + Rugbyrat = BFF

It’s cool the way you form friendships even across realm lines. I’ve seen Rugbyrat often on the battlefield. He’s always willing to charge out and fight even if his team is hopelessly lost.

Here he’s trying to give Pylith a hug… I think… Be careful Rugby!

So anyway, on Sundays the Order tends to take keeps around noon eastern time. Why don’t we see Destro defending? My theory is they are all in Sunday School.

At some point they all seem to log on at once, and all of the keeps we took are completely overwhelmed.

It’s like kicking an anthill (and there’s about the same amount of red).

I have to say we were so hopelessly outzerged that we played alts for a little while. I think Organdonar is switching to a bright wizard. He was having too much fun in Tier 2 last Sunday.

As a side note, leaderboards are still not fixed Come on Mythic!

Enemies at the Gate

Saturday our guild participated in its first keep defense. It brought back great memories of our guild in DAOC.

Guild members hold back the Destruction forces in Stonetroll Keep’s courtyard.

Throughout the day we had played in Stonetroll Crossing, another scenario, but for the 12-21 level set. Basically you grab a ball and pacify (and by pacify they mean exterminate) three different troll camps. We decided two of our newer members needed renown gear so we headed toward a keep, which subsequently came under attack.

Timmm, who plays a bright wizard, was initially shy to jump in the middle of the fray, but once we explained that we’d keep him alive throughout the semi-suicidal effort he was more than eager to use his point-blank, area-of-effect spell to down the Destruction forces. When Destruction had the keep’s door down, Timmm jumped in the middle of the ram and we must have killed 20-30 people by ourselves. The entire raid was in full-flee mode after that. We didn’t hold the keep, though, due to overwhelming numbers and a rather disorganized warband. But we did have a great time last night!

Also, please welcome our new members, Vanhellings and Defleshedz!
