Hiya fellow Midgardians, I'm Fenrisa a new midgard player on Excalibur since 2 months. I've been joining raids, and runned a few times ML1 / ML2. And now want to try out a new raid with different leaders. I've seen great leaders on Excalibur as well, but I've seen also leaders who didn't had the best support. And if you think someone is not doing his job well enough for leading, than you should lead one yourself, so here we go
Its plain simple, we do ML3 BG steps, and ML3 BG steps ONLY. This doesn't include farming Eggs/Swords on the raid day, and doesn't support farming a Triton Shaman.
MOUGHART:
Yes I will do this mob, however I will do this mob on 11:00am CET, so if you haven't done this step you need to join at 11:00.
BG Steps in following order:
(3.6) Glowing Barracuda
(3.8) Sting Rays
(3.1) Moirai
(3.5) Antioos
(3.3) Casta
(3.9) Sinovia
(3.2) Kepa
(3.4) Laodamedia
(3.10) Medusa
If recommend if you join a raid, to read about how steps work before joining, a great site with information about ML's is www.visionofsages.com/toa/
Visit it, read it and print it. A raid leader isn't a god, a raid leader makes mistakes, a raid leader listens to others and a raid leader is a human-being. If you think we doing something wrong, or going the wrong way, I rather see someone telling me than having all kinds of talking arround your back. A raid can never succeed if it isn't for the people who come along. A BG raid with 3 people will never succeed, even if you know everything about the game and you know how to succesfull pull. A raid succes depends on how many people who join.
JOINING THE RAID:
So you are convinced, and want to join. Welcome
- Make sure pre-steps are done. From the day I post this to the day it actually is, there are 10 days. If you haven't got 1 day available in those 10 days for pre-steps I can't help you. But I hardly believe that will be the case.
- Don't go afk too long. Sure you can go afk now and than in the raid for a drink, toilet break or a quick 'wife pleasuring' but please don't go afk 3 hours. Its so annoying to see people being afk behind and than complain 20 minutes later they didn't get credit. Just make sure you are at the keyboard when we move out the water or start an encounter / enter the water.
AT THE RAID:
When we are doing the raid, I'm doing a few things to make sure all goes well.
- a friend of mine is running the BG, I make an afk message with who owns the BG and you have to talk to him for entering a BG. The BG is public until 12:00, after that we make it private. If you LD or drop out the BG for some reason you have to ask the BG-leader to get a re-invite.
- I am running a CHAT-group with every group-leader. This will mean I do a /bg groups at 12:00 and see who are group leaders and invite them in my chat group. If you are a group leader and you don't want to be mainly involved re-set your group in an order so that one person in your group wants to be. I don't discuss with people that they rather want to be the group leader but they aren't. It's not like I ask you to lead bla or find someone, its just for a few quick questions after and before BG steps.
- Before every step I will do a check-up. I will check if everyone is in the bg, by a simple /bg groups commando you can see who is in the BG and everyone between ( ) is not in the BG, I will ask the BG leader to invite those persons. If they not joining, they will get no credit. It's not my fault if they were afk by than or it was someone's bot and he didn't see the pop-up. We will not start an encounter until I say so. We will make sure to get enough distant from an enounter with lag pulls and such. But I can't always garantuee it. If suddenly the pull is done and I haven't said 'Go' (or something), it can happen people miss steps. I am doing all my best to prevent that from happening.
LOOT RULES:
As leader I will claim the remains Medusa might drop for my guild. Rest will be lotto with a 'human' BG people, player + bot are set as 1 try.
Keys will be seperate with items. After 3.10 we do a quick lotto for the keys. The person(s) who win it still have a chance of joining lotto for other items. The items will be lotto'd after the raid Aerus Haven, 20 minutes after the raid has finished. This will give people who forgot to bind in Aerus time to get in Aerus. (just bind in aerus and all goes quicker)
In Aerus, we do 1 roll. Highest roll is getting the chance of picking first, and 2nd highest roll get second choice.. and so on.
I will tell all the names after roll in which order. Again, I'm a human being, if you see I made a mistake tell me, and I will correct it.
COMPLAINTS:
So you joined my raid, and you have complaints about my decisions, leading abilities. PM me here with what I did wrong and what I could have done better. I'm learning to lead and feedback is something I admire. If you have personal issues or think you could have done better. Start your own raid and invite me to join to learn and I will try to make it and see how you do it.
Thanks for taking the time to read, and if everyone who comes on this raid has done the same thing as you and read this. It will be a (with any hope) a succesfull raid.
Oh yea:
In the week before the raid actually starts I will be doing group steps (hunt eggs / swords and Triton shaman) with intressting group members. I will start a BG from Tuesday 1 June at 20:00 CET, this will be at Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the same idea. I am a lonely shaman at those times, and I'm not able to solo / dual purple mobs easy, so if on those times there is no intrest or not enough intrest I am going to spend my time elsewhere too. Its only an offer for the ones who like to try it out.
Seeyou in game or on the BG raid.
