I have played this Tzarakk since the guild opened. This was the first new LoC
guild and been always loved the reputation system so starting to play Tzarakk
after the old LoC seems like right choice.

These two years we have seen few tunes for mount reputation system to make it
little harder to get the better mounts but nothing else. On public channels we
don't get much attention except that when newbies ask which would be nice
guild to start the common answer is many times Tzarakk guild. More or less the
Tzarakk players are newbies or solo players; and the reason is that Tzarakk
guild doesn't give any utility for the parties. When you're newbie or solo
player it's pretty easy to ignore the lack of this guild, but when you try to
party the problems start.

Here are the few facts about this guild when trying to party:

1. We can only train our combat riding to 60%. When played a long time to get
Chimera mount I get combat riding to 85% but still it's pretty hard to stay on
saddle and I found myself eating the dirt a lot.

2. We don't get ANY utility which would help the party. There's just no reason
to pick Tzarakk to big party mobs when any other melee guild does the job
better and doesn't have our lacks as handling the mount.

3. How to heal the mount in party when it's in bad shape? Sure we get the
harvest soul skill to heal our mount but getting corpses in EQ party is really
absurd and this skill doesn't heal much so we would need many corpses to our
mount to good shape. Trying to tell the party that my mount is bad shape gives
the same effect as writing the STUPID in my forehead. Our mount is our problem
and leader/healer couldn't care less if our mount is dying when there's much
more important things to do.

4. There are many areas where you just can't use the mounts like no summon
areas, mounts don't follow you on special exits and so on.

PART 2

Here are the few things which could help our guild to fit on parties better
and by all means I don't mean that these all should be fix! Use common sense


1. Let us train the combat riding to 75%. That way we could have even little
better chances to stay on saddle on big mobs.

2. Change the rampage skill that it would do less damage but have a chance to
stun/interrupt the mob. This way we would have little more useful at parties.

3. Change the harvest soul skill that it would use the soul from our mount for
healing. This way we could heal our mounts when partying.

I bet that there are many other ways to make this guild little more party
friendly, but these are just what I had in my mind... and sorry for the bad
english

PS. My point is not to whine how the Tzarakk guild sucks. I bet there are many
other guilds out there which have even more flaws than we do. I just try to
give some of the view how the Tzarakk guild is working now days and maybe give
some inspiration that what could be done to make it work little better.

PPS. Maybe the game needs this kind of solo/newbie guild and we are not made
for parties... I still like this guild even it has its own flaws and I'm not
going anywhere!
