DEATH by DAYLIGHT Veteran Halls of Fabrication Saturday, October 5th at 2:00 PM EST SO CLOSE... we got the second boss down to 27%, WAYYYYY better than our previous best attempt. We're really making progress on the mechanics and I think that maybe, JUST MAYBE... this is the Pinnacle Factotum's time. You know, to die. Requirements -Read this post and /sign the thread, indicating you agree to this event's guidelines- The Morrowind Chapter of ESO, as the trial is in Vvardenfell Appropriate food/drink and potions Full sets of purple/gold gear (Two 5-piece + monster set or intentional partial sets) Raid Notifier and Team Formation add-ons For DPS: CP 810 or a 25K DPS parse 3 mil dummy (available at @PWiddy's primary residence) 18K+ health with food/drink buff Take a screenshot of your dummy parse and get in touch with @Icy or @PWiddy For healers: CP 810 The Energy Orb morph of Necrotic Orb A purge ability that can purge the group & Purge Tracker add-on 18K+ health with food/drink buff At least a couple of set options available (including monster sets) e.g. Olorime, Sanctuary, Mending, IA, Worm Cult, Jorvuld, etc. For tanks: CP 810 A purge ability At least one crusher enchanted weapon (preferably 2H, bow, staff in infused) At least a couple of set options available (including monster sets) e.g. Ebon, Alkosh, Torug's Pact, Plague Doctor, Yolnahkriin, etc. Also! As this is one of the more challenging trials, the requirements are on the more stringent side. Being less than CP 810 severely impacts one's ability to survive in content like vHoF... this has nothing to do with skill and instead has to do with the passive damage mitigation a player gets from CP. That said... If you do not meet the CP 810 or DPS requirement, feel free to sign up anyway! We will prioritize those who meet the CP/DPS requirements but we may need some fills! If you sign up as a support role, we'll likely be reaching out to you in order to coordinate the sets the tanks and healers will be wearing for maximum effect Ideally, there should be one magicka templar DPS running Kagrenac's Hope in order to get off some quick rezzes (which we will most likely need). If this is a role you can fill, definitely let us know! If you have any questions about DPS requirements, contact @PWiddy or @Icy Questions about healing requirements should be directed to @Telana Reach out to @orbitoclast with any questions about tanking requirements Roster will be posted Friday night Sign up below with your role(s) and your planned gear sets! If you're DPS, please include if you're ranged or melee and stamina or magicka. Practice your witty banter and one-liners, folks, because THIS IS THE WEEK HE DIES.

A good run! The first boss wasn't much trouble at all and we definitely have the upstairs mechanic down, as well as the tank mechanic with the shades... we got really close, with our best attempt being 27%! Once we manage the extra centurion adds, I think we're golden... and then we only have three more bosses! Should be a snap, right? Immediately noticeable improvements over last run: We got the first boss down on our third pull. Last run we burned them on our sixth. More consistently nailing the upstairs mechanic and the shade mechanic, which led to... ...our best attempt was 27%! Last run... 78%. That's amazing!

Warms the cockles of my chilly li'l heart to see guildies so eager to die alongside friends. Feel free to sign up as backup even though we're full! Best laid plans, etc...

DEATH by DAYLIGHT Veteran Halls of Fabrication Saturday, September 28th at 2:00 PM EST We made some progress last time as we nailed down the first tough mechanic of the second boss just in time for me to murder everyone with the next tricky mechanic!

@Arcadian, @Elisel, @Adamant_Unicorn, @TMUMT, @Simralin, @Maezar, @ShellFlare: We're going to cancel this week's event since so many folks can't make it. Maezar and Shell may or may not be able to make it but we didn't want to leave it to the last minute and then disappoint folks. NEXT WEEK.

@Simralin, here's what Alcast recommends... seems like a good place to start as any!

DEATH by DAYLIGHT Veteran Halls of Fabrication Saturday, September 21st at 2:00 PM EST We made some progress last week as we nailed down the first tough mechanic of the second boss. Nonetheless, we found ourselves stymied by the true villain of ESO: disconnects... and probably more pee breaks than was strictly necessary, but that's neither here nor there.

Hi, everyone! We nailed the first tough mechanic of the second boss with just enough time left for me to murder us with the NEXT really difficult mechanic! Hooray! Really, a fantastic effort everyone! The roster was as posted above, with the exception of @Arcadian stepping in for Savvy, who was having some lag issues.

DEATH by DAYLIGHT Veteran Halls of Fabrication Saturday, September 14th at 2:00 PM EST Last week, we slaughtered the first boss just in time to end the event... can we do it again this week, except earlier so we can also kick some fabricant butt that appears later in the trial?!

Ugh, back to the drawing board...

DEATH by DAYLIGHT -a weekly three-hour descent into progressive madness- An unofficial event, every Saturday at 2:00 PM EST Hello, fellow seekers of misery, chaos, and glory! The time has come for Remnants of Hope to go forth and make its mark on the most difficult group content that ESO has to offer: veteran trials, their hard modes, and their myriad achievements! HUZZAH! Death by Daylight is an event for those of us dedicated to conquering all that ESO has to offer with the folks we like to hang out with instead of whoever happens to be in our raid guild. Why go outside of RoH to complete events when we have the people, talent, and dedication right here? How is this event going to work? This is an UNOFFICIAL event. As such, we will be respecting the PvE department's event schedule. We will not run trials that are an ongoing effort in official events; for example, if an official event is focused on completing vAA HM, we will not be running vAA. If you are interested in that trial, you should sign up for the official event! We're going to be tackling some of the most difficult content in ESO, some of which is literally impossible without meeting certain requirements. In light of this, events may have restrictions such as a minimum CP level, a certain level of DPS on a dummy parse, and/or gear or skill requirements for support roles. If requested to wear certain gear, please wear it. Same goes for specifically requested skills. Still, please bring along any gear sets you think would be beneficial! If we hit a wall with the current strategy, your gear or skill suggestion might be just what we need! Something that makes this event unique is that we are going to be diving into encounter logs to assess our techniques and progress as a group in an effort to continually better our performance. After the event, the organizers (myself, @Telana, @PWiddy, and @Arcadian) will discuss our strategies and our performance as a group. We will be posting our thoughts in the forum. Feel free to contribute -- we're a team, after all! We may be reaching out to people personally if there's something specific we want to address. If you have any questions or concerns about the raid, please feel free to contact us. If you sign up for a Death by Daylight event, you are agreeing to set yourself to NOT appear anonymously on the encounter log, have the encounter logs from the trial posted in the ESO Progression forum, AND to participate in performance critique. Progression content can be frustrating. In fact, it's likely we won't clear most weeks... and that's okay! We'll be among friends and we'll work on it as a team. A positive attitude from all participants is expected; it is absolutely crucial to the success of this event and that of the team -- it is what will carry us through many a crushing defeat. In the interest of making the most of everyone's time, if you are late for the event, will we seek a replacement. If you show up before we've found one, you're more than welcome to join us. These guidelines were conceived with a team-first mindset. Failure to follow the guidelines may result in not being invited on future runs. A post will be made in the forums regarding the upcoming week's event that will include expectations and restrictions for that particular trial. Check it out, update the progression raid spreadsheet with your availability and stats by TUESDAY at 11:59pm EST as per Telana's post, and keep an eye on the forums for that week's roster, which should be up on Wednesday. When you're ready to die by daylight with your favorite guild, just "/sign" below to acknowledge that you've read and agree to follow the guidelines and LET'S DO THIS. See you Saturday!

Friends! What are we thinking about for next Saturday's run after our decisive vSO HM victory? As this is an unofficial event, I would like to avoid any trials currently being pursued by official events, especially while we have so many other options! As such, MoL, CR, and AA are off the table. Additionally, in the interest of this event being specifically designed to tackle prog content: as we're moving into more difficult content, expect there to be CP level requirements, or, in lieu of that, dummy parses for DPS and gear checks for support roles. This is not to be exclusionary, but is instead an acknowledgment that some content is simply impossible without meeting a certain bar. CHOOSE!: -Vet Hel Ra Citadel Hard Mode: Supposed to be the most difficult of the Craglorn HMs. -Vet Asylum Sanctorium +0 or +1: Never beaten by RoH during an official event. It's a mini-trial involving three bosses. -Vet Halls of Fabrication: One of ESO's ultimate challenges... I think this would truly test our mettle and see where we are as a group. Look up some strat guides, look at the gear/builds required for your preferred roles, and make your choice by Thursday!

First session was a success! Amazing work, everyone, getting RoH's first vSO HM clear!

Sometimes I'd start a TS sub-channel saying that I was fishing or ask in guild chat if anyone was interested. If not, I'd go by myself and just chat in the main channel or listen to music!
