Sup guys, end of the week already, when can everyone raid again? Afaik, Alastor is available Wednesday-Saturday, so it would be great if we could go for 2 evenings between that. On my part, I'll have exams in 2 weeks, so Saturday and Sunday might be bit problematic for me if I'm slow on studying this week :o (Which also means, I wont be able to play much the patch week (30 MArch - 2 April) until I have my last exam on thursday) Aka no patch content and mainstory quest for me for a while….
Anyway, wall of text/weekly status update incoming, pls read even though it's not on the front page this time :o
1) From what we've seen so far, getting T12 practice groups together via PF seems to be a lot more difficult than it was for T10 and 11. So yeah, there's still the WAR + BLM issue that we gotta work out, to let us eventually have a full static and say farewell to many of these PF woes. Thoro and Arty have been recruiting on PF all weekend to help with that afaik, but no bites yet.
2) For next week: I got Liraley and Kusaribe to join us as PLD and BLM respectively for T10 and T11 on Tuesday! Hopefully they'll be a bit more reliable than Silver was last week (cough cough). With them we'll be at 8/8 members and should be able to enter immediately after we've gathered up. Lira can stay till 11-11:30 pm server time so I was hoping we could meet up at 8:30 and enter at 9:00 pm (ideally). That would give us 2 hours for clearing both turns. Plus, there's no dps to carry through anymore, and now that more people got a clear on T11, the fight should go more smooth as well.
3) I can make time free on most evenings myself I think (if I really have to, on Wednesdays and Thursdays as well, since otherwise Alastor will miss out on everything I think, lol. And there's Thoro's exams too).
Still, ideally we'd clear T10/11 on Tuesday, then look for 2/3 srs practice attempts (T12 isn't as easy as 10 and 11 were, we'll need it) before reset. That means as many people joining in as possible, and being able to start early enough. To illustrate, on our unofficial practice yesterday we spent over an hour looking for one last dps (that included shouting in cities and all that jazz), and after getting a near full party together, still having to wait ages and ending up with a really short practice due to people leaving fast was a bit of a bummer. For today's practice, our PF actually timed out with only 2 spots getting filled up along the way, both of which quit a while in (can't blame em). Let alone any tanks and heals being available, which was already an icky business for T11. So yeh, not as much PF to this if we actually wanna progress I'm afraid.
But enough of that, if all goes well, at least we'll finally be able to put T11 on farm status! So yeah, we getting there :)
Totally depends on if Alastor wants to do T10-11, if he does I'll be online Wednesday, Friday then weekend. If we still go ahead with Tuesday then it'll be Tues, Thurs, Fri maybe and weekend. Im also getting Bloodborne on Friday so will be spending at least some time with that.
Yeah I'll be free Wednesday, if you want to go ahead with T10-11 guys feel free. :) (That's me not saying I don't care about raiding pre current turn or anything btw lol, at the very least, I find T10 pretty fun).
Also, having had help from Kusa for T11 that time, I'd rather not be the reason he/she gets messed about, so if you want to shoot for Tuesday, go for it. :)
T12 wise…at least P1 l-looks simple enough, Eksy's group imo didn't explain it very well, especially 'painting' the aoes over the Blackfire to make them killable. They just told me to tank at A.
We need to wait on Kresh and Saps schedule anyway. But I think the question Alastor is do you want to do T10-11? Or your really not fussed as long as you get to do T12?
I wouldn't mind if I missed them this time, I'm just saying that overall I won't shun Turns I've beat already, if I'm free you can count on me to do them ofc. :)
