Ponies Solos Burrower

Using her Tunare stick to snare the Burrower Parasite, Ponies then kited the beast as her massively overpowered cleric pet proceeded to ravage the burrower's hitpoints down to zero.  The rest of the guild merely stared in awe from the sidelines until we all went linkdead from clicking too fast on the corpse in our futile attempts to ninja loot this:

Rumor has it a certain Ogre made off with the loot.

After the Burrower we went to kill the AoW in Kael.  In what is becoming a very disturbing and highly annoying trend we were trained yet again.  This time, rather than dealing with some psycho who went 24 hours too long without his Prozak, the train was brought by a spectator, who just wanted to see what was going on.  At least the person had the deceny to send this tell afterwards:

Name blurred to protect the clueless yet innocent

Yes, we "seems attacking big mob" all right, only "big mob" handed us our asses after two Adjutants came storming on top of our clerics.  Oh well.  Mark LoS down for a blown spawn of the week I guess.  But don't forget to give assist credit on that one to Johnny Trainbringer.

In other news, after 49 failed attempts at camping through the walls, 96 failed glfuxes, and 23 failed corpse drag attempts through the walls of the Arx, I finally managed to bribe one the the 249 Stormhammer GM's to summon me up to the big Kahuna for my obligatory Ub9r d00d screenshot of the day:

Quote of the Day

Legends:  "You can piss down my back but don't tell me it's raining."

I won't dwell on Legends for too long today.  Yes, I could sit here and write a novel on why Legends is a bad thing for the majority of Everquest.  But I simply don't have time.  I just didn't want the opening of the new Legends server to pass by without being able to say a quick and heart-felt, Fuck You In the Goatass, to all involved with it.  I've heard all the arguments before about getting what you pay for and "don't go to McDonald's and expect Filet Mignon" and other such brilliant and well thought out defenses.  I haven't seen such legal spindoctoring since Johnny Cochran helped my beloved Juice (go Trojans!) murder two people and walk away scott-free.  But let's face the facts, all of the features that were promised to us with the release of SoL are still not here.  Seems to me Legends is a pretty new service.  Doesn't it surprise anyone how fast the "new" Cazic Thule was revamped for the server?  Could it possibly be the jackass whose job it was to make the Bazaar work like it was ADVERTISED was instead buffing up Lizards in CT for Daddy Warbucks on Stormhammer?  Where's my new interface?  Where's my new visible armor?  Like it or not folks the people on our Poor Folk Ghetto Servers spent money on PROMISED features which as of today do not exist.  You guys still going to run and defend the Legends losers with the old, "You get what you pay for" jibberish?  Guess what?  We didn't get what we paid for.  I went to McDonald's expecting a goddamn Big Mac, not Filet Mignon, and you know what I got instead?  A Shit Sandwich.

Now that I got that off my chest, let's talk about "stuff dying" because after all, this is an Everquest website and it's my job to post a bunch of big dead things and talk about just how cool we are.  So here comes that line of nonsense:

So, um, we killed some snakes.  They were incredibly difficult to kill.  The Creator required our whopping force of 32 people to kill.  The victory was flawless, not a single death.  I Sseem to remember Ssomeone Ssaying that the Creator was more difficult than the AoW.  Excuse me while I try to stop laughing.  So anyway, we had the opposite of the Night of Suck on Monday.  We were unstoppable.  Because of the late patch we had very low numbers but we just kept killing with almost all flawless victories.  As far as loot goes, well, we were prison raped in that department.  Check out our Creator loot:

Now, before some DW-wearing ooooober, Fiery Avenger-wielding rump-wrangler goes to the messageboard and tries to tell me how awesome this garbage is, keep in mind that out of our 32 people there we had exactly ZERO paladins present and ZERO shadowknights present.  If anything in high end EQ needs to be ranted about right now it's the ratio of WEAPONS vs. ARMOR dropping on uber mobs.  For most classes, if you think about your "best of slot" item in the *known* game at this point, it probably drops in North ToV still.  I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather see some nice bracers or rings dropping than 2 billion rotting piece of shit weapons off every mob we kill.  Perhaps this garbage loot is just sitting there waiting for the eventual and inevitable gimp-i-fication of these mobs which is surely just around the corner.  But for guilds who killed Vulak since last summer, who have been killing Tunare and the AoW, well, all these goddamn weapons are getting really old.  To put it in perspective in Ssrae -- SK and Pally have weapons that drop off of the Basement mobs, the Arch Lich and the Creator -- all of which rot every single time they drop for us.

Here's an example of decent loot that doesn't rot off of a Ssrae Mob:

More like this please

Speaking of the basement mobs, I guess rotting loot is better than what drops off the Runed.  At least you can give that rotting garbage to Mort to annoy noobs in Thurg.

Don't get me wrong, that Creator fight was one of the best times I've had in recent weeks in EQ.  Nothing beats a flawless, well executed raid.  But so long as loot is rotting, you will hear me bitching.

Working As Intended

Bzul logs in to find that he's stuck in the wall.  He cannot move.  He tries to camp out and come back to see if it fixes the bug.  When he re-loads, he is greeted with a 10k fall to the basement.  So how's the new Cazic Thule?  How's Marauders Mire?

Obligatory Uber d00d Picture

Well looky here. . .if it's not Mr. Emperor Ssraeshza.  I felt as though my precious cack would diminish in size if I could not present to you all a photo of myself and the Big Bossman of the Temple.  You have no idea how long it took me to get that picture taken.  I had to camp through about 30 walls before I could finally sploit my way up to the big mo faka snake that's waiting patiently to be killed.  Unfortunately or maybe fortunately (only time will tell) getting keys is a pain in the ass.  So unless this bitch can be dropped by me and 3 others, well, he ain't dying on The Nameless soon.  I shouldn't speak to fast.  I think I might have found a nice pathing sploit in that lava.  A little Muscle Lock IV, some high damage arrows and a whole lot of running and that bitch is mine.

In other news, our webhost told us that by the end of the week our site was going to be deleted.  So if suddenly you click on that bookmark and get ye ol' 404 error, well, you know what happened.  Apparently, and I am sure some limpdick is going to correct me on this, our site, since January One legacyofsteel.net has gotten 18 **MILLION** hits.  I guess this would all be fine and dandy if we had a web d00d who knew just what the fuck he is doing.  But instead you get me.  Because I left so many images on the front page, and up to a week of updates using lousy compression, we were moving 6 GIGS per **DAY** of traffic.  Oops!  Well, luckily we have some web pimps around here who gave me a swift kick in the nuts and got things straightened out.  Barnabuss, infamous Dorf of Britannica, has come up with a new News Archiving system.  Eventually all the old updates will be convereted to this.  Barn also is responsible for the awesome Gallery section.  Anyway, that's your warning for the night -- if suddenly los.net doesn't exist tomorrow -- just sit tight and chill until we find a host who can handle our traffic.

So getting on to what's been dying. . .well mostly us.  We've found some really cool shit and have been having fun coffining the guild all over Norrath.  Like I am going to tell you what. . .HAW.  I am loving the newfound breathing space that now exists.  But yeah, we still kill some *cough* shit here and there so we can feel ub9r l33t and so that everyone in the EC tunnel knows we have 12 inch limp dicks when they inspect us.

For example, we killed that OH SO HARD Thought Overfiend again!  Only to keep things interesting (cause goddamn that's a boring fight) we let a naked bard tank.  Don't believe me?

We got so bored during that fight we stopped slowing him =////  (cue gimp at home/office:  Note to self, THO can be slowed!).  Xalxin actually fell asleep -- I shit you not.

We also killed the IV again.  I believe this was the Serverwide FIRST killing of IV version 3.2456 beta:

He dropped his usual shitty crown along with this thingy:

We also all died a horrible death to the Shei Whateverthefuck.  I feel pretty good about it.  We had never even seen the guy up before so it was our first time targetting him and pressing A.  He got to half-dead before he killed us all in one masive, AE deathtouch.  He was fun and we went in with almost no l33t insider info.  Fucking Commisioner Gordon was slacking on the other end of the Batphone.  Anyway, here's a picture of the dude who killed LoS tonight:

Ok, before I STFU, please remember that the site might tank soon.  Don't come bugging me about it.  I am perfectly aware when my goddamn website doesn't work.  I don't need Tigolessmallcackwebsitedown telling me the website doesn't work.  Things are a bit hectic right now in real life too so chill the fuck out if you go a few days staring at the same bullshit.  Yeah, yeah, I have a real life. . .hard to believe, isn't it?
