Call of the Forsaken – Tier 1B Defeated

Inverse Logic has successfully completed all four raids that comprise the Call of the Forsaken expansion’s Tier 1B. The staggered release model that SoE has used to deploy content for the current (and previous) EverQuest expansion has made raiding feel like a 100-yard dash as opposed to an endurance marathon where perseverance and persistence are much more heavily weighted factors in a guild’s progression path.

That said, any raider in EverQuest will likely agree that more raid content is a good thing – and the raiding community now has four more raids to farm each week than it did prior to today. We are the 5th guild gamewide and the first guild on the Luclin server to complete Tier 1B. It took us close to 2.5 hours to complete the four raid events and we experienced no raid wipes for the evening.

I do feel that all raid content in Call of the Forsaken thus far, including the new Tier 1B raids, is much easier than I would prefer raid content to be. However, I am thankful that the game developers listened to some of the feedback provided by my guildmates, as well as raiders from other guilds, and corrected the majority of the bugs found in the four raid events prior to them being patched to the live servers.

In this guild we like to be met with challenges, and then tackle those challenges in a way that we can look back on in the future and be able to say that we did our best. This mentality will continue to persist regardless of the difficulty of present and future raid events, as we pride ourselves on our teamwork, communication, planning, strategy, and efficiency at which we complete raid events and other challenges together. We continue to be a 3-day per week raiding guild and are recruiting with limited openings for exceptional players who work and communicate well in a team-based environment.

Call of the Forsaken – Tier 1A Defeated

Inverse Logic has successfully completed all four raid events from Tier 1A of Call of the Forsaken on the expansion’s release day. These four raid events comprise the first half of the first tier of content in EverQuest’s 20th expansion. We are the 3rd guild in all of EverQuest to defeat these raid events, and I’d like to congratulate all of my fellow guildmates on a job well done.

Many of EverQuest’s long-term subscribers are undoubtedly accustomed to a larger amount of content being available upon an expansion’s release. The new (staggered) release model for the game’s content deployment is certainly a radical change from its longstanding norm. The overall progression timeline in Call of the Forsaken, as well as in Rain of Fear, resembles a series of quick sprints rather than a lengthy marathon.

The four raid events included with Call of the Forsaken’s initial release are quite different from one another in style. Each challenge reinforces different raiding techniques, be it following spontaneous directions (emotes),   high population enemy control, or proper debuff management and removal. The raids are well done for an introductory tier to a new expansion and hopefully Tier 1B will be released within a few months.

Lastly, I’d like to mention that we are still improving and refining our brand new website. In the near future we will have video streams of live raids available, with the possibility of new raid montage videos as well. Though it was never formally updated on the website, we defeated all three Tier 4 raids from the Heart of Fear patch on their release day back in July.

If you are interesetd in joining us, we are always on the lookout for exceptional players. We raid 3 nights a week and you can read more about applying to us from the link at the top of the page.
