Greetings, I had some issues with the server event yesterday and instead of posting on it then I wanted to sleep on it a bit.
I am sure I will be flamed and bashed but these are the way I saw things yesterday and I could not just be quiet about it.
I do know I am new here, I also am aware that Impact is new to this server ... Yes we have alot of low levels its primarily what we recruit not to say higher levels are not welcome, we infact need more higher levels.
Anyways ... I was in DN When I saw the message that a boat was seen far off the coast of Wyvernfang So me a few of our other higher levels went to see what was going on. After listening to the chatter I realized that it was pretty much a Dragon/Giant faction event. since most of us was building Dragon faction we fought against the Mavassi ... yes, we were attacking and loosing faction.
After that battle we moved to DH ... luckily I have a DH necklace (I am allied with the dragons) so I was there with the quickness. After zoning in I see ...
[Tue Jul 06 11:36:37 2004] Advisor Zerkotah shouts, 'Come and speak with me.'
[Tue Jul 06 11:37:54 2004] Advisor Zerkotah shouts, 'My time is not for wasting, mortals.'
So I run to the Advisor and wait to see what the plot is ..
[Tue Jul 06 11:40:37 2004] Khalid says, 'The Kaezuls require your help great one, in slaying the giants of stormskeep and stormseye'
[Tue Jul 06 11:41:25 2004] Advisor Zerkotah says, 'And why would Kaezul require our help?'
[Tue Jul 06 11:41:30 2004] Khalid says, 'They offer bounty in return, as well as power, but that all pales against the joy of slaying the perversion of nature that is the giants'
I rallied our higher levels to DH not knowing what to expect.

[Tue Jul 06 11:45:49 2004] Advisor Zerkotah says, 'The Empress agrees, and will make a pact with the Kaezulians.'
[Tue Jul 06 11:46:05 2004] Advisor Zerkotah says, 'Gather our warriors. Za`Yth will lead our forces.'
[Tue Jul 06 11:46:14 2004] Advisor Zerkotah says, 'We shall take back Storm's Eye this day.'
I admit I have not been to every zone in WR so I had no clue where Stormeye was. So I decide to ask the people around me ...
[Tue Jul 06 11:50:52 2004] You say, 'where too ?'
[Tue Jul 06 11:50:53 2004] Ravina begins to cast a spell.
[Tue Jul 06 11:51:08 2004] Khalid says, 'Event is over'
[Tue Jul 06 11:51:14 2004] You say, 'No battle today ?'
[Tue Jul 06 11:51:19 2004] Khalid says, 'Not right now'
[Tue Jul 06 11:51:23 2004] Ravina fades away.
[Tue Jul 06 11:51:23 2004] You say, 'ok'
[Tue Jul 06 11:53:05 2004] Horizon begins to cast a spell
[Tue Jul 06 11:53:20 2004] Jinxat creates a mystic portal.
[Tue Jul 06 11:53:20 2004] Khalid creates a mystic portal.
[Tue Jul 06 11:53:20 2004] Horizon creates a mystic portal.
So we just stand there decideing what to do and then ...
[Tue Jul 06 11:54:12 2004] Lady Leskala shouts, 'Mortals, hurry to the Wastelands to summon Za`Yth and his warriors.'
[Tue Jul 06 11:58:21 2004] You told ******, 'the event is not over'
[Tue Jul 06 11:58:26 2004] ******* tells you, 'Yeah i know'
[Tue Jul 06 11:58:39 2004] You told *******, 'Khalid said it was ... we need you all'
[Tue Jul 06 11:58:46 2004] ****** tells you, 'In dragonhorn?'
[Tue Jul 06 11:59:01 2004] You told ******, 'WW entrace to DH'
[Tue Jul 06 11:59:54 2004] You told ******, 'Right after you all left Lady Leskala said to hurry to join Za'Yth and his warriors'
[Tue Jul 06 12:01:05 2004] You told ******, 'I am all alone, Ill be slaughtered'
[Tue Jul 06 12:01:15 2004] ****** tells you, 'Never fear! we shall be slaughtered together!
'
[Tue Jul 06 12:03:54 2004] Lady Rosaline shouts, 'They move to Storm's Eye.'
[Tue Jul 06 12:04:26 2004] ****** tells you, 'Grrrrrr'
[Tue Jul 06 12:04:32 2004] ****** tells you, 'Now they are headed back to where we were
'
I cant help but feel we was trying to be excluded from the battle, I had no ideal why at first. Maybe its because we are not a "respected" guild in WR or I am not a "respected" player, come to find out at the end there was loot to be had ... we as Impact had no ideal, we was there to play apart in the story not to get fat loot.
So we finally make it to stormeye,only me and Cantaris could enter, of course the battle is over we missed that part of the story maybe we would have made it there to play a part in the battle if we wasnt told it was over /shrugs.
So we zoned back outside, and see a dragon standing off in the distance we run over and listen to what he has to say. He is handing loot out ... well he is letting the guild leader of Ruin hand loot out, Thankfully the Dragon Says not to forget the guilds that helped and Impact got 1 item (which is another issue I have, keep reading) which I bet 100pp if he hadnt of said anything we would have gotten nothing. What would have happened if non guilded people where helping ? Would they have been excluded from the rewards if they were not in Ruin ? I cant help but think so ... THis was starting to seem more like a Ruin event more than just a server event, which is fine ... I just wish we would have been "let in" on the little secret so we wouldn't have seemingly crashed the party. Me thinking it was a server event tried to follow and be where the story was unfolding and was trying to get my freinds to come as well.
Anyways, the dragon named out the items he was giving away as rewards, as I said Impact got 1 item and it went to Cantaris, a very sweet pair of leggings ... then he was told to destroy those and givin a lesser item. To me this is crappy, Cantaris is of a raidable level and if the Dragon gave out certain Items why was he told to destroy the item and givin a lesser item ? In the spirit of roleplay this breaks the emersion. I cant help but think if he was in Ruin at 47 he would have been able to keep the reward like it was ... because we are not a "raid guild" yet we are not allowed items that would help us get there ? Was anyone else's Items nerfed ? Impact made a very good effort to be there and help with the storyline but it wasnt good enough obviously, we was led to believe the event was over AND givin an item that could have helped our guild as whole by making our warrior better then had it taken away ... for something that wasnt even half as good.
Please do not think I am trying to hate on Ruin, I have friends there as well as friends in GotW, I just feel we was looked down upon for making an attempt to be apart of WR's storyline. You can flame and bash me to hell and back if you want. But know this, if I can help it I won't let Impact be spat on or its members disrespected and be quiet about it.
