We have completed ALL 25 raid events in Rain of Fear and are the 3rd guild gamewide (1st guild on Luclin-Stromm) to do so. It has been both fun and refreshing to have so many raid events available in this expansion. Despite only raiding 3 nights a week and having to devote 2 of our raid nights to backflagging in order to move forward into new raids, I’d say that we did very well this expansion.
Most of the 25 raid events in Rain of Fear are easy, but a few stand out as being appropriately tuned challenges. Vulak’Aerr and Xorbb #3: The Return of King Xorbb are the two most enjoyable challenges (and each is quite rewarding as well). Those raids, as well as Breeding Grounds: A Feast for Zalikor, top my list as the most enjoyable and well designed events of Rain of Fear.
It was very nice to be able to raid North Temple of Veeshan again. Those of us that raided that zone in it’s original incarnation have many fond memories of the raids that we participated in from that era. Being able to experience it again was a nice bonus for many of us. The implementation of the Rain of Fear version of Temple of Veeshan is done well also. Keeping it as its own activity and disconnected from progression can allow any raid force access to the zone, and doesn’t attempt to alter the original lore of the zone in some way to accomodate the main storyline of Rain of Fear. Hopefully we will see more zones receive similar treatment and offered as bonus raids in this manner in the future.
In closing, I’d like to say that it’s rare to be a part of a team that works so well together as the raiders in this guild do. Having 54 people together trying to accomoplish the same goal is never a simple situation. Fortunately we are blessed with a roster of not just players, but people who are very motivated to pursue the guild’s goals as efficiently as possible. We may only raid 3 nights a week, but we choose to spend that time being productive. I’ve never been a part of a team that can adapt to change and continue to evolve in a way that this guild does.
I would define successful raiding as performing and progressing in such a manner, that when reflected back upon in the future, one still feels that the results of their efforts were undoubtedly the absolute best they could do. I’d say we accomplished that in our completion of Rain of Fear.
