As always a hearty congratulations to the continuing achievements by many and varied groups in completely destroying this instance.
A shame that such tidings must be tempered by disappointment:
Dear Elendilmir, or those who dare to represent their primary raiding groups. You have your OWN server forums in which you are most welcome to bicker and nitpick and complain regarding each other's behaviour. You will find that this thread is in fact NOT entitled "Days of Our Lives", "Young and the Restless" or even "Judge Judy". Keep your trials to their own appropriate area.
Luckily a couple of moderators have been very helpful and supportive in the past to keeping this place a little cleaner in lieu of my own ability to do so.
For the most part that was strike two. We understand the rules of baseball well enough to realise that the moderators will only allow such things for so long.
I thank you to keep this thread on topic and continuing to display the maturity and tact I expect from such remarkable raiding kinships and alliances.
Regards,
Ultiheart

I heard that [kinship redacted] used HIPS to exploit [boss redacted].

"The Giants Have fallen Challenge Completed!"
Fire and Frost t2 CM by Avorthalier (Anduin)
No Burg stacking! Just 2 very good Burgs :P.
Next Week meta deed inc
"Die Verschollenen Kapitel" raid alliance forced the old weirdo known as Saruman to surrender in T2 CM yesterday. Even his pretty bathrobes couldn't hold us off.
Element Zero, of Snowbourn, succeeded in defeating Saruman T2 Challenge Mode this evening. Big grats to all involved in the months building up to this and to all those involved in particular tonight. All bosses were cleared in T2 with only F&F being doing NM, all other challenges complete. Not bad for a nights work. Next week F&F challenge and all challenges in one night
House of Elders on Gladden completed a full clear of Orthanc T2Cs tonight for the Original Challenger title. Grats to all the great folks in kin that helped make it happen:
Not a new kill, but I also thought I would mention that we killed F&F T2C with only two burgs:
Ok we´re done (Meta deed)! See u in RoR Raid Thread :P
Gratz to every Raidmember

Not sure if this thread is being actively updated, but Noldor, Arkenstone did all 5 challenges in one run. Problem being, we didn't get the title even though we are the only kin on the server to do it. Oh well... there are at least 12 bug reports and a few private messages attempting to resolve the issue. Or we'll just have to do it again. For the time being, it was also our first Saruman challenge kill:
That's all the challenges for Noldor.
(this thread doesn't mention our F/F challenge from a week or two ago, see above or back)

Yep... we completed all 5 challenges in one single instance and none of us received the title. (Was a server first as well) We also did not receive a challenge chest for completing Saruman Challenge. I also had to re-log for the Steed Meta-Deed completion to register. (Which occured over 30 mins after we finished)
My activity log on my.lotro proves it too for all naysayers:

Yesterday we finished F&F CM - but didn't got the CM-Quest, the Deed or the Quest - a GM confirmed that we killed both giants without rage but the quest failed when we killed the 2nd giant...
We had 2min 15s fight-time so it should be impossible that the giant got rage in the second we killed him (he got 1 Rage more at 2min as it should be and we killed the last grim at 2min 10s)

The Server seems to be very buggy atm...
Well at least you got an ackowledgement from a GM that you should have gotten the quest etc. On Arkenstone they basically said tough noogies, do it again. I'm hoping that since I escalated it up the GM line someone, somewhere will be able to actually help us get the title we earned.

wow a GM didn't copy/paste a generic response?
and all this time i thought turbine had implemented a GM bot system. this has officially blown my mind... someone give that man a raise!
in all seriousness, hope you all can get is sorted out, the horse is kinda cool actually and you earned the title in any case

Possible the grim was LoS for rage reduction of a very near miss for too far away to reduce rage? Sometimes angles and things can be buggy in how close you are to reduce rage and where your tank/the grim are. Not saying this is the case but from the sound of it if you killed 1 of the correct type at 2:10 and it was 1 rage at 2:00 then this is the only valid answer unless it actually bugged out.
I'm curious how the GM identified that you killed both with 0 rage if the quest/deed failed? Either way sorry to hear hope its less buggy for ya . We had to re-log for the horse and the deed was buggy but it worked out in the end.
Yelk ~ DieHard ~ The Warlord - Shock and Awe. You will fear me.
We'll go for the full clear title next week anyways.
gratz on that!

After the grim died all players looked at the rage-bar and after we saw there was no rage we killed the giant.
I think a GM could replay the whole fight and look at which stats which enemy was killed - he basically said that he looked at all factors and didnt't see a reason why we shouldn't got the CM-Quest - he said he would finish the quest for our raid if it would be possible without a risk, but he possibly could destroy our characters or kill our whole deeds and such stuff...
