Sunday, 18th January, Order assaulted the Inevitable City.
We rolled our way through Empire and Elfland and took two fortresses in a decent amount of time.
Unfortunately Inevitable City itself was pretty fucking lackluster and a bit of a waste for endgame content; the PQ was an avoid farmfest, the scenario was too big and allowed too many people (thus increasing the ratio of random noobs to decent players) to be good.
Basically, stage 1 of the takeover of the zone is multiple instances of a single, large public quest, involving killing low 30s NPCs, picking up items, and holding two objectives. The idea is that both sides have the same thing to do, and 48 players of each side PvP whilst trying to do this. Unfortunately, since you can switch instances, it is easy to avoid the enemy altogether and farm the PQ for Invader loot. And so, as with the rest of this game, that’s what most people did; avoided the PvP and farmed gear. Here’s hoping that Mythic get round to making this endgame experience a lot more PvP focused and a lot more interesting. It’s a bad idea poorly implemented, but we’ve stuck with this game through class imbalance, unlockable zones, and much more, so we’ll stick with it now and see how it goes - in the meantime, we’ll just keep on doing what we do best and raping people in PvP 
Anyway, here’s a great video, frapsed by Delerium and edited by Azmodania, of what the inside of IC looks like.
