These people are prob went to sleep lol
No, that was in the middle of it.
Ppl keep draggin stuff to the zone :(
Could have just kept doing Reives and waited a week or so till Colonization was over 75% ><
We took it down Sunday night in 80mins with some coordination and less potato salad.
Colonization rate? We don't need no stinkin' colonization rate.

Want to roll with ballers like me? Check out this lovely thread to apply! Are they still fighting this from last night? Or it's a new one?

It was the same one as of 630 am pst. I went in with great trepidation around 9pm pst on Monday. Never have I seen such a spectacle! It would be fun if it weren't so tedious. Odious? BOTH, ***
I haven't done any of the new ones, but why are these taking so long to kill? When I did a shout for Achuka it was 23% Colo rate and we took an hour with 10+ COR.
Maybe when I get off from work I can hop in and get KI lol

Hard to say. We downed one of these turds on Sunday? night with relative ease. Maybe they changed the hate mechanic, or as Juju says "why are NA so HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE?"
I'm sure the peanut gallery here would appreciate a play by play today as well! Offline

From what I hear, there plenty of JP in there too lol.

I'm sure the peanut gallery here would appreciate a play by play today as well! Weren't there like 30-50+ COR at the one on Sunday lol ? That probably why it was downed with relative ease last time. It is all about the cor, most which got the win on Sunday so i imagine not nearly as many there now since they probably saving Bayld for other ones to get 5/5 KI. I not there but someone told me barely 10ish COR are at this one, some of which are afk and asleep! There were tons more CORs at the one on Sunday, yeah. This one is filled with a fraction of the CORs, and some of those CORs are afk/asleep. It's kind of unfair to compare runs or chalk it up to "lolNA" or lol-not-our-LS", especially since there are a lot of people from those LS's at this one too.
There are also people from the top NA LSs saying they refuse to tank until more people show up, and then they AFK, so it's kinda half-hearted attempt. I've fought and killed the *** before and he is very nasty. What makes it especially hard is the battlefield. It is littered with nasty adds (snapweeds and panopts) which constantly enfeeble you (sleep poison blind gravity and slow which overrides haste). These adds are stronger than any delve fracture monsters and have massive evasion.
My advice would be try to use a good rune fencer to tank, it works for Hurkan and so might work for Yumcax. The Naakual in general seem to use primarily magic based attacks even for their regular auto atttack. THAT TREE HAS BEEN BURNED TO THE GROUND. IT ONLY TOOK 18 HOURS

well done jerkwads I'd like to ask any of you that took part in that nightmare Yumcax fight to post here on the official forums, to help drive home the fact to SE that the fight was bull and desperately needs changing, and that massive 18+ hour fights are NOT good content.
Remember, if we let it slide, they'll pull it on us again. Case in point, the original PW fight since they felt AV was perfectly acceptable. This is something I hope some of you feel worth giving feedback to help the devs steer away from horrible decisions that could have dire consequences, since I don't think any of us want to hear about something happening to one of our fellow players as a result of excessive XIing over a boss fight, you know? |
