Congrats to Gnomo and Devilicus on those great wrists. Also, congrats to Mastiqul on your beautiful new legs, Anarchous and Devilicus on your boots, Starla and After on your gloves, Ubba on the pokey tooth, Rama and Anarchous on your rings, After on the charm, and Talysha on your helm. Just typing all that out made me realize how awesome a night we had. Great job to all.

Group Three Project

In the beginning of July we kicked off the Group Three Project. The goal of this effort was to fill out our third raid group and expand the guild for the first time since its re-inception. To that end we’ve been quite successful. Iniquity has seen three members return from the old days, the recruitment of one player, and found two more exceptional gentlemen to bring in as consistent guests. That in itself basically marks the project as complete and we might have to look into repeating it as the Group Four Project.

Raid Progression

For a guild that until July only had ten members raiding we’ve made a lot of progress! We have defeated the first two bosses in Labs, Tox, and Palace. On top of that we’re very close to dropping the third mob in both Tox and Palace. We could probably achieve even more than that but our casual schedule doesn’t leave us a lot of time to test raid. With group three being filled out we need less time to drop targets and that has lead to even more successes in shorter time frames. It is great to be in a position where you can kill more than you have time to. Our dance card is full and we’re pleased with it.

Recruitment

Recruitment continues on and we’ve had a whole lot more interest with our additional successes. We’ve done a good job of bringing Iniquity back to the server’s attention without spamming open channels with mindless recruitment messages. We’re sticking to classy individuals who want to raid two nights a week for a few hours with us. We’ll continue to progress at our own pace and enjoy it far more than the stressful way we raided back in the old days. We are currently looking for a full time dirge, mystic, warden, and warlock. Seek us out in game or check the Iniquity Guild site to apply !

Fan Faire!

Iniquity will be missing a week of raids because a whopping eight raid members are going to Fan Faire! We’re going to take some time off, have a lot of drinks, and gamble until we end up passed out in random areas of the faire. If you’d like to meet with us let me know! We’re a great bunch of folks and we intend to party the right way. We’ll be wearing blue Epic Slant shirts!

Screen Shots

For the last few raids we’ve been trying to take pictures of what we’re killing to show off a little bit. We universally forget each time. We’ll try to do better on the next pass!

(I reposted this from Ferrel’s Epic Slant page.)

Although he plays my alt on TV, Evanwilliams has dreams of much greater glory. He doesn’t want to simply be another bot following Dresden around like tools following Ashton Kutcher on Twitter. Some say greatness is born in the fires of adversity. Being born a dorf is harsh enough, but then to be dressed like the marshmallow puff man is an indignity few should be forced to suffer. For now he must continue to dream, but one day the world will tremble at the sight of a boat captain’s hat with a cherry and wings (By the way, who designs the hats for SOE?!).

As you may have seen on Epic Slant or on this page, we are still recruiting for people interested in our play style. Currently we are raiding around two days a week (Wed/Sat) in the evening EST. Some weeks we do more, some weeks we do less, but we always have fun! With our tight knit group of longtime friends we bring about two groups of people to x4 content and have thoroughly enjoyed everything so far. Some of the content we are regularly “farming” includes Ernax Heridion, Vernox the Insatiable, Wyvernlord Tuluun, Wyrmlord Zaos, Lieutenant Buldoral, and many others in Icy or the x2. Not only are we regularly killing alot of x4 content with a small core of players, but we are consistently progressing through new content as well. Our aim is to get each of our members geared out and continue through any raids that catch our interest.

If a casual raiding style with a fun group of people interests you, feel free to Apply. All are welcome to join. We are a group of mature players who have jobs, spouses, and other real life responsibilities but still enjoy raiding when we are able.

If you want a full strat write-up of Demitrik’s Bastion, head on over to Ferrel’s blog at Epic Slant. He has done a great job breaking down the zone and each encounter, I highly suggest checking it out if you are interested or stuck on a certain area/boss.

WHO RUN BARTER TOWN?! MASTA BLASTA!

Like so many battles hard fought and won we had to be willing to take some deaths. We had many a death but ultimately victory was achieved and I felt the pride in my guild members that I haven’t felt in years. Is this mob easy? Certainly. Have pick up raids defeated this mob? Easily. That didn’t matter though. We went in with two healers, two non-80s, tier two or below gear, and only eight players across nine characters and won. We won flawlessly and I am proud!

Congratulations go out to:
Starla on his Blackened Spike Choker
Rolf on his Elemental Gladiator’s Boot Mold
Scipio on his Elemental Vanquisher’s Glove Mold, Swiftash Shadow Sash, and Elemental Collar of Binding
Glaeni on her Elemental Gladiator’s Helm Mold

By checking this mob off our list we’ll be able to continue our progression through WoE. We’re still looking to fill about three slots in our roster so that we can do these encounters with two groups. Otherwise we’ll just continue to soldier on as we are. Great work Iniquity members! You’ve made me proud once again. On to Digg we go!

Other than making any gnomes we meet miserable and throwing our underequipped selves at any content we can, Iniquity’s general standing orders are to have fun with any and all content that catches our fancy. As you can see from our recruitment post, we are concentrating on two group raid content and really enjoying the vast amount of new content for smaller guilds. Also, we are really enjoying going back to old content we had mastered four years ago. The mentoring/chronomage mechanic allows us to relive some of our greatest times and the nostalgia factor is well worth it. As you can see, we have been doing quite a bit of varied content. From completing mythicals and hitting large raids with a tiny force to going back to our roots of Darathar, the game simply has a ton of stuff to offer.

You can see our little group there in the bottom right. Of course, Starla and Glaeni are checking each other out while I stare down the back of Endraal’s head. Ferrel, as usual, pretends not to see what a motley group of misfits he is forced to lead. Buuncha, the giant ogre, and Rattius (hiding somewhere in a rat hole no doubt) round out our little band. Also, we have had some other old faces show back up recently in the form of Sipio, Swifty, and Euma, so we are well on our way to fielding an elite two group rolling ball of disaster.

I will try to keep the news updated as we go forward. I am extremely lazy when it comes to actually posting stuff, but I do like to make lewd images involving dragon corpses. Perhaps I can combine the two on a regular basis to at least populate this page with something interesting! If you think you might like to come play with us or just want to comment, feel free to let me know how boring I am!
