Suggestion: ML1-8 in three weeks!

[Adari]

Ah yes yes,

I tried to come up with a better schedule but came to the conclusion that we're best off doing ML1-8 in three weeks, I just didn't see how it was possible in less.

Also, I think that it'd be a lot less stessful like this.

This is how the schedule would be. TIMES ARE IN CET

Before week I

You have about 1 or 1,5 week to get the groupsteps of ML1 and ML2 done, and the prequests of ML3. They're not hard.

Week I
Monday: ML1: 12:00 - 14:00
Tuesday: ML2: 12:00 - 14:00
Wednesday: ML1: 21:00 - 23:00
Thursday: ML2: 21:00 - 23:00
Friday: Extra day for prequests & Life.
Saturday: ML3: 12:00 - 17:00
Sunday: ML3: 15:00 - 20:00

Right, let me clarify this. The groupsteps of ML5 and ML7 are not easy steps, in fact, there's a lot of these steps that take time and patience. You need to be ML3 to be able to enter both the ML7 dungeon, and ML1 to enter the ML5 dungeon. I want people to be ML3 at the end of the week on sunday. If everyone is still not ML3 by then it could go seriously wrong. Hence the amount of raids; enough raids for people to get the amount of ML exp they need if they're not farming ML exp in rvr or wherever.

We will do the rest of the raids only once, and in the weekends mostly. We will finish with the ML5 and ML7 bg steps. That means you have 2 x 5 days to do these steps. I won't be co"ordinating this. You're all smart enough to make your own groups and go there to do the steps. If people wait untill the last day to try and do these, the raid will be fucked. I might try and organize a few groups but I'm not sure how it'll go.

In between weekend I and II

You have 5 days to get the groupsteps of ML4 and ML6 done, apart from doing the ML5 and ML7 group steps. The ML4 and ML6 group steps aren't hard.

Weekend II

Saturday: ML4: 13:00-17:00
Sunday: ML6: 13:00-17:00~18:00

In between weekend II and III

You have 5 days to get the groupsteps of ML8, apart from doing the ML5 and ML7 group steps. The ML8 group steps aren't hard.

Weekend III
Saturday: ML8: 12:00-16:00
Sunday: ML5 & ML7 bg steps; 12:00-17:00.

Right, so, I'd do this if the feedback on this is positive.

Bring it on bitches!

I would suggest:

Weekend II

Saturday: ML4
Sunday: ML5 bg steps

Weekend III
Saturday: ML6 & ML7 bg steps
Sunday: ML8

That way you'll have much more time to gain mlxp as you go along, and in between raids, instead of being max ML5 at the end of the 3 weeks.


(maybe juggle the days a bit, ML5 might be too short to fill 1 day, ML6+ML7 might be too long (though 5hrs for ML6? )

 

[Adari]

Hmm, well as long as they have ML1-8 steps done at the end of the three weeks, they can sort out the ML exp for ML3-5 themselves later.

I don't know how many people would come, but on my last ML3 raid we had 80 people. So say 80 people need ML3, ML5 and ML7. That would mean 80 people would have to do ML5 group steps and ML4 group steps in 5 days. With work/school/life etc, I seriously doubt if that's going to happen.

If less people were to come it'd be a good change though, methinks.

hallelulya god bless you Adari


ill be at ML2, so will my GF.
Is this upcoming tuesday?

That would mean 80 people would have to do ML5 group steps and ML4 group steps in 5 days. With work/school/life etc, I seriously doubt if that's going to happen.

ML4 has 2 group steps:
4.1 - Sting (Colossal is very easy for a group and there's usually 5+ spawned)
4.3 - Roar (Lion on a 1hr timer, easy to find and kill for a group, and unless everyone leaves it to the last minute, no problem).
These can be done at any time in advance.

ML5 group steps is 1 evening during the week, dungeon can easily take 4 groups at a time and people would have 13 days by your schedule to fit it in (not 5).

And of course, people can get the mlxp at any time after the steps are done, but it seems just a bit silly to bottleneck them all at ML4 until the last day when they could finish the 3 weeks on ML8.

 

[Adari]

I once lead a 4 fg ML5 raid and it took way too long, annoying repop timers, and even with 2 fg moving through the dungeon all the time is just plain irritating.

Yeah and on my schedule they'd have more, but as you suggested they would have 5 days.

However, I see what you mean. We could do the bg steps of ML5 twice though, they take like, what, an hour? And it would mean more ML exp.

Like,

Weekend II
Saturday: ML4
Sunday: ML 6 and ML5 bg steps

Weekend III
Saturday: ML8 and ML5 bg steps
Sunday: ML7 bg steps and a ML raid that most people want because they missed it + extra ML exp.

This could either motivated the people to do the ML5 group steps in the second week, and this would solve the bottleneck problem, it could also make people do the steps at the last possible moment which would be bad for the raid.

 

[Joxer]

sounds like a great idea imo - you plan on starting with this next week?

 

[Harle]

Great idea overall, especially the double-raids in the first week

The advantage of doing the MLs in the correct order would be that the x.10 steps give you about 40% ML-xp if you are currently working on that ML - so another argument for changing your original schedule around a bit

 

[Adari]

sounds like a great idea imo - you plan on starting with this next week?

Yes, probably, if I can get into fins this week to pl my ani. It needs a wee bit more thought though.

 

[Exiled-Mighty]

[Tallen]

[Adari]

If this happens, it'll be an event we'll have to name. Mighty said he'll give a free bj to whoever makes up the coolest name.
