FC: "We have had it, make your own goddamn raid-content!"

Good day, this is the Informer.

Captain of the Royal Elite Nazi-fly's, Commandant of Self-Prominent Global Shine, Owner of Evil Aura, Ruler of jadadada jada daa daa bla bla bla blaa bla blaa, Game Master Superman Silirrion has made an announcement!

Silmarillion-man has invited us all, with our guilds, to join testing of the 1.05 patch raid instances and raid encounters. Sil obviously hasn't been playing a minute on testlive himself, or else he'd already know few gruesome facts; 1) raids are very, very hard on tl 2) they are infact near impossible. 

Now please do remember, that these are not new instances, they are the old t1 and t2. So no new raid content, rather FC's view of "new content" that is making old content extra hard.

Now Sil-the-Man-Rillion wants us all to participate in testing the impossible. He wants YOU to tell YOUR guildmaster, to sign YOUR WHOLE GUILD to test-live and DIE MANY, MANY TIMES. 

Totally pointless, the raids are broken, eat your cookies and go home. It's already known, FC can "dublicate it" by going there with some characters and die.

What they should and need to do is to fix the goddamn raids, as has been suggested on TL forums dozens of times. Make mobs hit less and have less HP, scale them to the same difficulty level as it is now on live. If FC wants to give us tougher challenges, make new content like Toth-Amons Tower and House of Crom. That's the solution, pure and simple.

This also means, that the patch 1.05 will be postponed even further. I doubt that FC feels suicidal enough to publish this sort of content, as more then 50% of active players are indeed veterans who mostly do raids.

Here's some testimonials of the current situation on testlive. Decide yourself, if you are willing to be part of Sil's little "suicide squad". I for sure would need a payment to do something that stupid, for free its out of question.

Logic behind Sil's request? I fear it must be something sinister. Possibly he is bored with tons of whining players, and this is his revenge!

Some quotes for the lazy people who dont want to follow links:
(talking about BRC t2 raids)

"Several wipes and 5 min fights against the mobgrps. Most casters went out of mana during the fights.
Excorant was really funy. We didn´t manage to kill a single gargoyle."

"- Black Ring Guards have absolutely crazy amounts of HP. Could they have been accidently buffed when normal guards were?
- BRC Wing 1/2 deaths send you to Kesh City instead of BRC Lobby (works with Wing 3)
- Gargoyle Master's room is black to varying levels depending on shaders (higher shader level = less black walls)
- Black Ring Gargoyles have absurd HP like the guards. Unless you have a lot of tanks it's basically impossible to beat the Gargoyle Master: By the time all the Gargoyle waves have spawned odds are you'll have taken down at most one gargoyle."
