First of all, see ya in two weeks madafakas, I’m taking some holiday in splifland err Holland I meant, so you wont be seeing me in (or out of the) game.
When I come back however, we have decided with Mckennitt to co-run a round of ML raids, again 1-9.
So here is how it goes. The ML Raid, will be taking place on Sunday afternoot at 16:00 GMT. That will allow everyone a week to do any group steps if required, and it’s also on a time that I believe will suit most working people.
Raids take around 2-5 hours, depending on a number of factors, from how stupid I act on that day, to how beneficial the internet gods will be, so don’t expect me to give you a time frame.
On the last round of raids, I was very lenient regarding LDs, we were redoing steps, everything for the credit. The reason was that there hadn’t been any raids before them for quite some time, so I didn’t want people to miss out. It was really nice to see some hanging along from ML1 to ML9, and being top players there. However, waiting and repeating is quite frustrating for me and the raid, so I will take a tougher stance next time. LDs will have 2 mins to relog. If you LD constantly, you’re better of staying away, I’ll be taking down names, and I will not hold the raid back for people that LD all the time. If you LD during a step, we’ll try to repeat it if it’s possible. However, some steps are not easy to repeat, hence you must make sure you will not LD in the first place. ToA locations look nice, however if your graphics card can’t handle it, you better let it the quality go in favour of credit. Also /effects none (or self/group) is your friend. When you’ll be required to see something, I’ll let you know to turn it back to /effects all.
If you decide that you want to do something on the side of the raid, I will not go against your free will. However, don’t expect any favours, you’re on your own. Example, an afk mate of yours was left back, he died, you go back to rez him, you die as well. Tough! None is supposed to be afk in the first place (I will accept bots, but you have to let me know who they are, this system has worked and I believe it will work again), and if you decide to leave the raid to do something, then yes, you left the raid.
Don’t be late. Showing up half an hour after we started and demanding that we redo a step, make you look stupid really. Clock’s are cheap, buy one.
Only MPs, 99s and unique items will be lotto’d. Everything less will be salvaged on the spot. Whatever we get out of them, we’ll use it after the raids (see below).
One more thing I want to do, is give us some place to test the abilities, and also create some extra fun. So, after the raid, we’ll be taking the whole BG out in the frontiers, with the purpose of getting a keep. In order to make this more interesting, I’ll be keeping the remains of the final boss, which I’ll lotto after we take the keep or after 22:00 GMT, whichever comes first. I’ll have a few diminutive siege apparatuses ready to distribute. The money we make out of the salvage able items, will be used to buy extra siege, and repair anything needing repairs. I hope this will give us a nice combination of pve/rvr for an enjoyable gaming experience.
Provisional Schedule:
ML1 BG Raid, Sunday 13-3, 16:00 GMT (17:00 CET, 18:00 EET)
ML2 BG Raid, Sunday 20-3 16:00 GMT (17:00 CET, 18:00 EET)
ML3 BG Raid, Sunday 27-3 16:00 GMT (17:00 CET, 18:00 EET)
ML4 BG Raid, Sunday 3-4 16:00 GMT (17:00 CET, 18:00 EET)
ML5 BG Raid, Sunday 10-4 16:00 GMT (17:00 CET, 18:00 EET)
ML6 BG Raid, Sunday 17-4 16:00 GMT (17:00 CET, 18:00 EET)
ML7 BG Raid, Sunday 24-4 16:00 GMT (17:00 CET, 18:00 EET)
ML8 and 9 will take place in May, however let’s not push this schedule into planning over 2 months in advance.
I know that it is kind of slow going, but this is the purpose. I’m not in a hurry anymore to get MLs on any character, I want something easy going, designed for the casual player mostly. The days in between might allow some people to repeat raids (you will have following, people will need ml-xp)
Anyway, that’s that for now. More details will follow.
