    8 Players – 16 Lightsabers – 2 Farewells
    8 Sents vs Eternity Vault

     

    Tonight was the final raid with the full complement of Honeybadgers. Eldirar and Auri are both taking their talents to land of Real Life First. To say that we’ll miss them, or that things won’t be the same without them, is to ludicrously understate the extent of our feelings. Who now will rescue and heal us? Who now will occupy the special quantum superposition of second sentinel and top comedian simultaneously?

     

    To celebrate our years together, we decided to do something we always meant to do: an All-Watchman team of 8 through an operation. The video here is a rough draft of the final accounting, and farewell.

     

    We dearly hope to see you guys back when the content warrants it. Fare well until then, animator of digital puppets and captain of googley mysterios!

    Smashing Soa and Breaking Ice!

     

    Our inaugural Fika Night mobilized a large group of Initiates and Old-Timers for an assault on the Eternity Vault, and on ignorance itself! The icebreaker for the night asked players to reveal to the group one interesting factoid about themselves … anytime their player needed to respawn. For any reason.

     

    Plus, half the raid group had never been to EV before on any difficulty setting. So there was a lot of learning. We learned fight mechanics. We also learned about spouses, children, “how we met” stories, and learned that a bunch of people in our guild serve their country in the military. And everyone who didn’t already know, also learned that one of us likes to talk a lot. All in all, it was a great night.

    Soa (Hard): Defeated!

     

    Sure, we could have done this months ago. We had better things to do, however, than spend hours trying for that one perfect attempt where the pre-1.2-patch randomness and bugginess would not hold us back.

     

    So we’ve been farming KP instead. We have lots of Rakata Main Hands, and no Rakata Chest Pieces. Well, except for the two we got tonight.

     

    With 1.2 fixing Soa’s bugs, we were able to down him easy in Hard mode. We almost had him on Nightmare mode, just for fun. Maybe next time.

    Toth, Zorn, & EC Tanks: Defeated!

     

    Oh yeah … we also managed to progress a little farther on our Progression Run tonight. We’ve got the first two encounters down in Explosive Conflict, Denova, on Story Mode. That feels good.

     

    The tanks gave us quite a bit of trouble, but that was mainly because we had some confusion on what the boss attacks do and how to manage them. A little experience though finally carried the day.

    Eternity Vault (Normal): Defeated!

     

    Our first full clear of an operation in SWTOR! For every wipe we suffered at the hands of poor play and learning curve, we suffered twice as many wipes to the bugs. Wow, is this place buggy.

     

    However, in the end, Delusions > bugs, so there!
