For that battle I like to go over the plan with my group beforehand and make sure that we have someone with some secondary heals slotted in case the healer gets skeletonized, and someone with some secondary tanking ability in case the tank gets skeletonized. Then it just comes down to speaking up when you get skeletonized so that everyone knows if they need to temporarily switch roles.

Our group tried that - but this is the "not optimized" group that is much more about characters and roleplay and fun than anything else. Yes we do get our act together - but it's more fun (at least the first time) to crash and burn in character than it is to succeed out of character. Sorta - but it does get old fast.

Anyway the time we succeeded, the battlemage/DPS kept getting it ever time, and every time he just kept tinking away (cause all you have are light attacks) at the boss, and every time he un-cursed, the boss was pissed off at him enough to target him again.

So mostly we lived 'cause the archer was taking out the archers, the healer could keep the tank alive and it worked.

That was our strategy last night for sure!

*sigh* I was in the middle of my first ever attempt at doing DSA when the servers went all wonky. We were on the 7th or 8th round, and had been cruising through it with ease (even though 3 of us had never done it before), and we were starting to think we'd succeed on our first try. And then the stupid internet had to go all stupid.

Dang. Sorry about that man, that's never fun to have victory snatched like that.

There's always your 2nd first try.

Thanks. We really were doing so well... I think we had only had 2 deaths total up to that point. And now I has a sad.

By the way, I made an orc goblin character (well, he's the shortest orc I could make, and he's the goblinest-looking orc I could make, and I've got him in primal gear) I thought you might appreciate. If the servers weren't all wonky right now I'd grab a screenshot for you...

Oh very cool! i definetly want to see him!

I can probably legitimately claim that the 2nd first try counts as the first try under these circumstances. That's what I'd like to tell myself anyway...

Yeah, Prepper found us a tank who knew the fights. We weren't even all on teamspeak and we were still kicking butt. Oh well, we'll do fine next time... And at least I already got a couple of decent pieces of gear from it.

All the popcorn is temporarily in the server thread. It will be back here once everything is online once more...

LOL That looks terribad!

Soo, news of the day is clearly the fact that all servers got taken down on all platforms. That's not very good

It is interesting though that this always seems to happen whilst I'm sleeping at 3.00am GMT UK Time.

@UrQuan Don't worry mate, as far as anyone is concerned, if you didn't complete it due to no fault of your or the groups, then the next time you enter is your first official run again. Only counts if 1) You/Team cause you to lose and exit and re-enter or 2) Servers die and you can't get back in

Oh very cool! i definetly want to see him!

Here you go @newtinmpls meet Reek of the Bitterfish tribe:


My only problem with him is that he's a little tall for a goblin (I made him as short as an orc could be, but that's still a little tall for a goblin). I think he turned out looking right for a goblin though...

SantieClaws

Oh he's a beaut! I honestly would think that was a player wearing the goblin costume.

I had similar height trouble when trying to recreate my LOTRO dwarf Hodorf. I made him a Nord as that was the only race suitable for the way he looks. Got the face and the hair pretty near. Couldn't get him anywhere near the right height though.

Xendyn

The Goblin look s awesome @UrQuan

Plenty of coffee and tea for everyone! ESO Live is gonna be a must-see today, I think. Poor Gina.

Nice! Yeah, I wish there was some way to go shorter than the sliders allow. I mean, it's not like all humans are within the height range that sliders would allow. For a particularly famous example look at Peter Dinklage! He's way below the minimum height of the standard human sliders, but he's still awesome!

Oh man, I really need my caffeine today... I stayed up way too late in the overly entertaining server crash thread last night. Poor Gina must be feeling it way worse than me though - she was still posting in there long after I went to bed. Given that the thread started right as she was going to bed, while for me it was still early in the evening, I'm pretty sure that means she was up through most of the night. And now she has to be all chipper for ESO Live!

MissBizz

Oh! ESO live. I better not miss this one!
