After an upgrade to the Velious uberzone “Sleeper’s Tomb”, Conquest on Lanys devised a strategy for beating the “boss mobs” that involved chain-resurrecting group members.

It seems that the SCREENSHOT feature is disabled for a few days. That sure makes my job a lot of fun. Before all you l33t hax0rs start posting on our board about some program I could use to take screens, just let me wallow in my bitching. My eyes are burning through my goddamn skull from staring at HARSH, GLARING, WHITE all night. Did I mention I really hate the fucking snow? I can’t read any of the text on those white backgrounds. Looks like whoever made some of those Velious zones played a little too much Super Mario Brothers back in the day. Nothing funner than slippery floors! Ccc. Dear god. Well, I did see some bad-ass stuff and I managed to get a nice upgrade to my old Diamodine Earring. I also saw some bad-ass Mo Faka’s that I look forward to watching our guild beat-down very soon. I’m a little wary of killing stuff in Velious because of all the faction rumors flying around. Not to mention that the faction was Fubar’d today so you could not tell which factions you were wrecking. Boy, nothing funner than Mazes, Quests, Slippery Floors and Faction Concerns! Verant, quit reading my mind!
