ML4 raid

[yaruar]

Ok, having sorted out a raid for the group stages earlier in the week i want to see if i can gather enough people for the rest of the stages in ML4 either tonight or tomorrow.

Realistically we need 3fg+ to complete, especially for 4.2.

If we only get 3fgs or less we'll do as much as we can.

People who just need MLXP are welcome to come and help out, the more the merrier.

Hopefully enough people have the group stages but need the rest.

If not enough people have the group stages we can do them again for people tonight with a view to doing the full raid on thursday.

Meet stygia between 7 and 7:30 uk time tonight for the action.

Hopefully we can get a few more tanks this time.

 

[Summoner]

can u move the raid at least by one day plz?

BC would bring at least 1FG those who need ML4 step + mb some ML expers but... not tonight cos we have already assigned event. And even if we cancel our event ppl r still lacking preQs.

definitelly we can hold at least 1 but prolly even 2 towns on 4.2 if u care.

If you guys can make tomorrow night that would be fine, we can organise something tomorrow night then and help people get the group stages tonight.

The more people the better TBH makes things quicker.

Thursday it is then, just wish I could edit the origonal post.

Just hope everyone gets the group stages done tonight if they haven't got them, I'll probably lurk around stygia tonight to herd lost souls round them.

 

[Summoner]

fine with BC.

 

[Galdora]

Fantastic. Monday was a fun evening with virtually no whining. I'll be there tomorrow night.

Cool, spread the word and we'll see how many people we can get along to get it done with as little time/hassle as possible

[Summoner]

BC will bring 1FG at least

plz set exact time if possible

 

[yaruar]

7:30 uk time meetup (is that 8:30 CET, can never remember)

Should give us enough time to complete it if we have the numers.

 

[Summoner]

okey and please add now that "the raid doesnt include 4.1, 4.3 and 4.4 steps" just to keep things clear

 

[Gravmaskin]

As said before, the more the merrier, from everything i've seen the key to this raid is numbers more than anything. Which is why i want to get it out of the way so I can move on with the other raids withought needing such numbers!

>Ml4 Raid yesterday from 18.00 to 00.00<

I decided yesterday at ~14.00 that I wanted to create a Ml4 raid to do the BG-steps later that evening. I told ppl to gather 18.00 in Stygia for the Ml4 bg-steps. And when I logged in at 18.00 there was about ~5Fgs there waiting. Took about 40min to regroup and make 5 ok groups. We finished all the Bg-steps and group-steps (for some). We did 4.2,4.4-4.10, in about 5 hours playtime. And the 4.2 was hard with only random 5 fgs, but we managed. But still ppl whined about not doing the the group-steps: 4.1 and 4.3. The 4.4 is easy to do with Bg.. only zerg the camp whit the Miw-blablabla. But tell ppl they have to have done the 4.1,4.3 steps, because those can be tricky when every group needs to do them!

And remember to get the stones from all of the steps for 4.7 and 4.8.

I hope you get the people that you need, this was just some quick flashback, msg me if u need any info about any of the steps! Good luck

(this probably shouldn't be a thread about todays ML4 raid but)

Mirala, you advertised that you would be doing the whole of ML4, you knew people in other groups needed ML4.1, you even killed it for people in your group who needed it, and you said you would be going back there so the other people in other groups could get it too. But you went ahead and did all the other steps up to 4.9, then declared that the other group had 10 minutes to go find 4.1 and 4.3, and if they werent back by 10 minutes they would miss out on 4.10 AND the lotto.

I think they had a right to whine.

(oh, and you didn't say a word to your guild mate who rolled twice and then made up the result he got because those 2 rolls weren't enough...)

Hopefully most of the people will have done the steps. If there are a few that haven't 1fg worth of people can do them in a short amount of time.

I have 2 of the stones already so hopefully any others we need will be held by someone, else I guess we will have to do some of the steps again.

Last night was an unmitigated disaster. We had 11+fg's which was amazing and everything went well (or so it seemes)
At lease one of the camps was bugged and constantly had a repop of warriors and archer mobs. This shouldn't have happened as the town and the camps were all on fire.

Also had repops of warriors in the towns sometimes 30+ which was insane.

+ Even though we had all the towns and camps on fire and all the labourers were being killed we still faced 100+ mobs in the temple courtyard with insane meelee attacks.

After the 2nd failed attempt and many hours of fighting everyone just gave up.

Everything I've seen shows that this encounter is bugged to hell.

Even though we appeared to have the towns under control the number of mobs didn't decrease and mobs kept repopping in the towns at an insane rate (and we still had camp pops which AFAIR shouldn't happen that quickly)

Have read up on it more now and apparantly the walls of the town are bugged anyway and the labourers just run through them sometimes which might have accounted for the problems (I saw them running through the wals in at least 2 of the towns myself last night)

Quite frankly the stage pissed me off royally. Everyone was good natured to begin with and things went well which is suprising with so many people, but even so it seemed like it was impossible last night.
I suspect that will be the last raid I organise for a while, I can't be bothered wasting my time herding so many people into one place only to be defeated by bad game mechanics.

Hopefully the server will crash soon and reset the buggy encounter then maybe it's worth trying again.

If anyone else wants to organise this raid i'll happily come along to bash mobs, but I don't have enough time any more to organise it myself

TBH I was very close to deleting in frustration last night.

April Fools

It's a known bug apparantly which gets partially fixed in 1.68.

Apparantly before that it's a bit hit and miss as to whether the raid will work. I think i'll just concentrate on other stuff until we patch.

 

[Gravmaskin]

Lucky me that already have that step then ...but i still need 4.5 .6 and .10 will be hard to get like 3 fg going to just make those steps =/

 

[Bee Man]

Was a bit (actialy more then "a bit" ) chaotic BG zerg.
BG chat was full of "where is the next town?" crap.
Many ppl LD, many ppl lost, allmost none knows what do to exactly.
But... was fun

Next time just.

1) If some1 organize reid, better if he command harder.
Don't ask "who will defend that town" - don't waste own time and just command - "XXX group defend that town, confirm" and move next time.

2) Get map before reid and read tips

3) Bugged camp was stlonly defended, we holded him 30 min more. Just one lagged/stupid/numbish man pulled 40 mobs from town 2 when here was 3FG random mids.

4) Try organize 2-3 PBAE groups. It's realy helpfull with all that mob-zerg.

P.S.
But - wanna say thx to organizator yestardays reid.
Not bad for first time. Keep growing and u will be strong leadur.

P.S.S. Thx to ML5 1-9 pplz yestardays and specialy - Valentino
