{Death}ga Inc.

The day began as many others do, looking for a party with no invites coming in. Someone was shouting for a Promyvion-Dem run in Aht Urghan whitegate, so I went along to help, get me summa that sweet, sweet boss xp, and just for something to do. I ended up doing Promybion-Mea with them as well. Got three people their Lufaise Meadows access, so I consider it a success. Also managed to break the record on the Mea run:



I spent over four hours in Riverne Site A01 after that. Judecca and I jumped into a pick up group for CoP 2-5 as a way of gaining firsthand experience about the fight. We did not realize what we had commited to.

Our first two wipes were a result of us settling on a tactic, and getting comfortable in the BC. The rest, were a combination of bad pulls, lack of meds by that point, and just general bad luck.

I am honestly surprised people stayed around as long as they did. Usually, a wipe among strangers sets tempers aflare, and a second one results is a disbanded party. Not so tonight. After our fifth attempt on the fight, I jokingly said, "Okay guys, I only have five more wipes in me. Let's get this right." Little did I know how prophetic that statment would be. Yes, we really fought the mammets ten times. It took over four hours total. We also lost every fight, though several came really close.

I am looking forward to trying this again soon with an ls party. I feel like Jude and I have enough firsthand knowledge of where and when things can go wrong that we can troublshoot our way out of almost any situation in there. I also like the way the xones look. Here are a few of my favorite screencaps of Riverne Site A01:

Most valuable lesson of the night? Getting DC'd from FFXI while dead with reraise up erases it.
