Saturday/Sunday raids

[Marithil]

Is it possible for me to request that we push it back an hour or so. I don't get off work up till 4:30 EST (2:30 MST). I'd miss some of the raid no matter what, but I should be there for the boss fight I'm thinking. I can bring a well geared Warden, Hunter, or Mini. I'll see if I can convince DNA and Co. to come along.

[Taisie]

You mean run it an hour later? I have somewhere I have to go at 5 my time, so I could do it at 4pm est but I'd only have 2-3 hours to do it. I could push it back and let you take over leadership when I have to go and give you the link to the guide I am using, if you would like to do that.

[Finnok]

Hey Taisie.  I have something else going on on Sunday from 3-5 EST, maybe longer.  But I'm considering cancelling it (even though I've already paid for it) so I can come to your raid.  But I'd want to come on my LM.  I don't want to cancel my previous engagement just to come on Finnok, who's already finished all of ToO, T2C.    Also, my LM is my one other character who's all decked out with awesome essence gear  .

[Taisie]

Don't worry guys, we can always do it again another week. I'm going to schedule it for 4 pm est but someone will/may have to take leadership when its time for me to go.

[Taisie]

So I will be getting up early anyways still on Sunday. When I finish my bike ride I'll log on and we can run low level stuff to relax before the raid. I am not sure how long this bike ride will be (though the path I'm taking sunday is like a 2 percent incline the whole way back, and yes you feel that on a bike) but I should be on by 3 pm est.

 

Maybe we will do a low level BG tier 1 just so we can get the general idea before doing level cap.

[Marithil]

Thanks Taisie. I'll be sure to get on asap when I get home. Also, I would be happy to take over when you left.

Hey, just chiming in here.

As much as I would flat out love to run this with you guys, Rolandarcturus is my only 100 toon and his gear is not yet up to snuff. I'm working hard to get him there, but it will take me quite some time I fear. Best of luck to you all, though.

[Taisie]

Roland, its a level 75 instance and you can always off tank. I'm just telling people to get geared up to make it easier.

[Taisie]

And here are the guides i am using.

And you can always guard DPS.

[Taisie]

I just scheduled a "kinship raid" for Sunday at 3 pm est. We'll decide what to do when we are all grouped up. To give us a break from orthanc it will be something easier, likely a deed run or skirmishes.

[RetiredFRB]

thanks for the ToO T2 runs, looking forward to more.  who knows, maybe a bunch of us will get the Steed of Many Colors.

[Finnok]

We were *really* close on Acid Wing's challenge.  Another couple of tries and we would have had it.

[Taisie]

I'm planning on BG (tier 2 if there is one) on level the 21st. For valentines day I am going to set another "kinship" run. I'm doing my valen's stuff the saturday but other people might be away.

If/when mari reads this, do you want me to set the 21st raid for 4pm est again?

[Marithil]

As long as that is okay for the rest of the crew. I do love BG t2. I am far more up to date on that raid then ToO. I hate to push everyone back so feel free to get started without me. Hell, maybe you will be through the gauntlet before I get on.
