~Note: The Event has been rescheduled to January 4th and 5th, 2025~
In celebration of the New Year, I am hosting an event running every raid in the game over a 2 day period. We have done this traditionally on New Years Eve, but with it falling on Wednesday this year we're instead doing it on the weekend after. The event will be in 3 blocks, you can sign up for as few or as many blocks as you would like to join for. You do not have to stay for the whole block you sign up for, but you do need to be there at the start time for that block in order to secure your spot.
See the event schedule at the bottom of this post.
For raids with 2 identical or nearly identical versions, we will only be running the highest level version.
When? January 4th and 5th, 2025
What server? The event will be on the Thelanis server.
How do I sign up?
Do I need to know the raids? Nope! Everyone is welcome, whether you are a very experienced raiding vet or have never stepped in a raid before. If you're new we'll teach you as we go.
What level do I need to be? I ask you be at least level 28 for the Legendary raids, but having a level capped character is preferred. For any non-Legendary raid it's ok to bring a character of any level that is able to enter the raid - though be aware some raids have minimum level lockouts.
Does build matter? Do I need to be geared out or have past lives? No. Any build is welcome. First life characters and undergeared characters are welcome. Anyone can join.
What difficulties will we be running? We'll be running commonly run difficulties, which means mostly Hard for the newer raids. Some R1s for older easier raids such as Mark of Death, Deathwyrm. We'll be running whatever the group can handle comfortably and won't be pushing the difficulty too hard.
Do I need to have discord? Yes, but you do not have to talk in discord if you don't want to. I only ask you be able to be in the discord voice channel during the event in order to hear the raid leader. This is because the event will be run through discord, not in game chat. If you have some kind of hearing disability or language barrier that prevents you from hearing the raid leader in discord let me know and I'll work with you.
Where do I meet on the event day? In the main general voicechat channel in my discord. From there, each raid group will split off to its own separate voice channel in the discord. And in game, for Block 1, we will all meet in the middle of the Marketplace next to the Subteranne so that we can greater teleport anyone who needs it to the Titan raid entrance to start. For Blocks 2 and 3 we'll meet by the starting raid entrances.
Can I help lead or tank? We will need atleast 1 main tank character for each group and I need some volunteers to lead subsequent groups. If you'd be willing to lead a group or tank for a group, let me know.
How many raids groups/spots are there? As many as we can fill and have a leader and tank for. We had multiple groups running simultaneously last year.
Do I need to flag for all raids I'm participating in before raid day?
Yes, with the exception of Temple of the Deathwyrm and Fire Over Thunder peak - we'll do that flagging as a group prior. We'll be organizing flagging runs in the discord, so if you need help flagging for any raid post in my discord and ask, we'll help you. If you need help leveling, ask, we should have people available to help with that as well.
I highly recommend prior to the event that you take your character and actually step into each raid you plan on participating in prior to raid day, so you know for sure that you are flagged. For many raids it's easy to mess up the flagging (for example talking to heroic NPCs instead of epic NPCs by accident) and you may not be flagged even if you think you are. This will also let you know if you forgot to turn in a raid you ran previously. You don't want to be locked out of a raid or on raid timer unexpectedly on the day of the event.
Make sure for the 2 raids which require flagging items (Twilight Forge/Titan sigil, Heroic Abbott sigil frame), that you have the flagging item in your character's inventory before we start.
Can I watch the event?
I will be streaming it at www.twitch.tv/AxelAlexK
I'll update this part of the post with a list as I get confirmation from other streamers that are participating.
How do I contact you in game?
On event day I will be logged in and playing on one of these characters - Akksol, Akkius and Pencilhead.
Have any other questions? Post them here in this thread or on my discord in the text channel #new-years-chat
