A thick, dark, cloud of thunder and lightning quickly rolls in over the top of the portal in Cauldron of Dawn.
Two large Kaezulians emerge from the portal.

Commander Yzargoth shouts, 'This place they call the Cauldron ... Cauldron of Dawn ... we have held it strong for some time now, reinforce the defenses for him.'

Summoner Isithina shouts, 'I understand, do not worry, the insects will not take this place from our hands, you have my word.'

Commander Yzargoth shouts, 'Excellent, I trust you will not fail as I am preparing for our next assault.'

Commander Yzargoth returns through the portal.
The dark clouds surrounding the portal vanish behind the Commander's swift exit.

Summoner Isithina shouts, 'Soldiers! Eyes and ears open, stay sharp, do not fail me!


This just went down in game. Something cool is going to happen!
And it turned out to just be another War Event. nothing out of the ordinary, but it was still pretty cool. the NPC's continued shouting in zone.
 
I thought this was pretty fun. I think Xar may have balanced this encounter to only involve ~18 people, but as it turned out, it was quite popular and over 30 people came to kill the Summoner. There were A LOT of mobs around the island, and their formations were pretty neat. Fighting to the "top of the hill" was a good idea, and the boss fight was pretty cool (she summoned meteors that came down and spawned elementals of each type). She also kept healing herself (lifetap?), which was good, because we would have otherwise downed her in a few seconds. The loot was okay for the difficulty, and I really think more 60-64 could have been involved (I know there were some, indeed, but could have been more) and you don't really need to be 65+. I think Xar did a good job coding and running the event.

A few things I would suggest...

If you could /shout kind of how the "raid" works so that not everyone is confused/doesn't want to participate, that would be great. Just say how loot will be distributed, how xp will work, etc. and just give us all some ground rules. Also, maybe make it a bit harder next time. These wars are kind of hit and miss (if people are bored, they will go, but I know A LOT of people won't even drop XP groups for the war effort). If it is harder, please upgrade the loots. Having good loots always entices more people to go (<32ugreedyppl).

I know Xar is looking for lots of feedback, so if you were there...chime in!

Thanks again for running a solid event! (Also, thanks to Ashleigh for helping out)
 
I just want to chime in that I did nothing at all for this event. I merely posted it to the forum. He's talking about another Xar.
