<div></div>LOL, yes there is a better way. Get more skill and do it with one raid.

<div>I am sure can be done with  24 people with out yelling and all smashing. Most raid guilds do not have 40 and I think that would take too much to gather all these people.</div>

Bah, let's wait until the encounter is green, then make posts on server boards bragging about how you tanked harla and all the adds at once !<div></div>

<div>"test to see how much dps was needed"--- Um how does bringing over 24 and yelling test that? Wouldn't it be best to try it like the way it was intended ?</div>

<div>Thanks for the publicity Mani, what a champ. Are you just mad that two guilds are joinly taking a crack at a foe or mad that Defiance didn't take it down with 30 of your own members the other night? Also, please train us more while we are on the way to Harla ... you'll have to do better than that. I know killing mendors so raids can not repair in areas, spamming tells, opening trade windows to healers in other raids and training mobs is normal protocol in Defiance these days but try to be original.</div><div> </div><div>Cruel</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>

<div>Ignoring all the guild hate, this is just a statement of a trend in the game.  The raid content is designed for 24 people, this fight and the Hurracuranis fight are easily beaten by having far more then the standard a lot ment of people.   Perhaps Harla Dar's room should be some sort of instancing limiting to 24 people (still contested, kind of like the ring event in SH that closes the door once a group starts it).  If people start consistantly trying to beat the zone with upwards of 24 people it could trigger a slippery slope of improperly scaled content.  Hurracuranus suffers from the same exploit as well as the Mutagenic Outcast.</div><div> </div><div>It is just very frustrating, is all.</div>

We didn't train you down there at all. You idiots ran into the middle of the hall, and picked up all those scaled gaurdian adds....By the time you finished killing them, Pantrilla was gone ;(<div></div>

It's doable with 1 raid.Dunno if it's doable without yelling the adds though.Maybe we just lack the dps for it.Ishbu did you guys do it without yelling the adds?<div></div>

oh its very doable with 1 raid, it can be done with like 16 people I think we had...<div></div>

I feel the same way and made a similar post in the Talendor thread. While it would be nice to see raids of 24 attempt this content, since that is the way it was obviously intended, if the devs keep designing encounters like this (Harla Dar, Outcast, Hurricanus, Talendor), we will see a growing number of raids with 40+ players.</p><p>I wouldnt bash the guilds for trying this, it really isnt their fault. If their best shot at defeating the encounter is to take 40 people, and they have 40 people willing to do it, why wouldnt they? The fault lies with the devs on this one for designing these encounters.</p>

<div></div><p>cuz it says 4X and that equals 24 people. Now if you wanna say well they are seperate encounters and argue that, well it would be a problem if a guild were to bring a full raid for every 4X in that room that would be about..... what are there 30 4X encounters excluding har ladar? So thats like 672 people. So if you wanna be a zerg guild do it right and bring that many peps <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.</p><p> </p><p>hoopdee </p>

<div>Well that was an entertaining read.  I would say if this was meant to be done with 24 peple, it would have been instanced.  So if some guilds decide to get together so that everyone can get the deathtoll access quest update, why shouldn't they?  It is contested, and it seems that the guilds that are unwilling to help others, incapable of defeating this on their own, and also unpleasant enough that they can't get anyone to help them, are scared that other guilds just might get the chance to experience content that they would gleefully prevent them from experiencing if they were capable of doing so.  I <em>almost</em> feel sorry for you.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>~Morb</div>

<div></div><div>Or they could have all adds and Harla Dar auto engage when you fight one, not necessarily attack you just lock onto you without moving, and yelling would break all encounters and make the adds already killed respawn.  There's easy ways to force this to be done with 1 raid.  SOE simply didn't decide to do so.</div><div> </div><div>~Morb</div>

<div><p>To Caturyc, this is going on the assumption that only 1 person needs access to deathtoll to zone in a raid.  So yes, the main raid actually fighting Harla Dar would have representatives from all guilds involved.</p><p>~Morb</p></div>
