Raid Train - NNGO and friends :) 12th/13th March

So, I had a look at my quest completions today and I've hit 17 for ToD, VoD and Hound and thought that it could be fun to get my 20th for all 3 on the same day... I got a few contacts I could call upon to fill gaps that we need (I think), but I thought it'd be nice if we could get as many NNGO together as possible to do a whole bunch of raids (also heightens our chances of getting stuff to the people who need it the most)!

Now, for those of you who are not too far off being flagged for certain raids, this could be the incentive to get it done

From what I can see, we have enough people to do the following just within the guild:

Demon Queen (should be enough)
Reaver's Fate
VoN (I think)

We have 9/10 flagged for Titan

Then we also have a fair few flagged for:
Shroud
Hound (level 18 is good enough)
VoD (level 18 is good enough)

That leaves us with:
ToD
Abbot (erm...maybe not)
Chrono
Tempest Spine (for the kicks)

My suggestion would be to have a go in the following order:

- Start off nice and easy with Chrono (loot run)
- Move onto Reaver's
- Pick up a WF tank and reconning Caster for VoD
- Pick up a beefy tank for Hound
- ToD (we should already have both tanks by this point)

Then if we have the stamina, go for:
- Titan
- Shroud
- VoN
- DQ

(We could even do an SoS run to try and get the Sovereign runes we want!)

Alternatively, we could leave the last few for the following day.

I still enjoy playing in groups and like running with the guild as often as possible because I know we look out for each other, so the more of us there, the merrier! Please let me know in this thread if you are up for it and which ones, so that I can start looking to fill the gaps.

Or alternatively, we could run the 3 I'm aiming to get completions on, one after the other and then see about the others after... sometimes I over-organise things :s

Sniff I will be away on a course for 3 weeks with No RL computer just a work one so No DDO for me. I will leave home on the 12th you cruel Pom Zog

Franticly taps his forearm, I will have to live my DDO life through here.

OHhhhh the pain

Tod

Good luck and have fun all

Mihaly is flagged for Titan and I can also do the Chrono, but I have only done it one time and it was a blur, but just tell me what to do and ill do it.

I will look to see what pugs are running pre raid quest and see if i can join some.

You should be able to get flagged for Reaver's even at level 13 - most groups would take a caster for the buffs and fire power

Sorry you won't be there Todd I hope this works out and we can look forward to doing it again and again in the future

I'm in. Cool idea ^^

Chrono/TS - Trixibelle (bard) or Zillee (dps)
Reavers - Zillee
Titan - Zillee
Shroud - Zillee
VoN - Zillee
DQ - Zillee

The raid train thing might be too much, so I'm thinking maybe just ToD, VoD and Hound for now. Zillee are you up for all 3? (Will have to flag for ToD first) otherwise, anyone else?

I know Jill said in game that she'll be around, otherwise, there's not a lot of interest so far

I'm in for whatever I can do for whenever I'm free for it on those days. I think I have Lika flagged for VoN and almost for Demon Queen. I'll try to finish off the Demon Queen flagging if I can.

Not so helpful, yeah? But RL has been sorta nutty.

i'd be glad to help, and can even lead if you dont feel like it bro

ToD, VoD, HoX, and Shroud I can only bring ArcaneJill

Any others I can bring ArcaneJill or Jillarcane (15 wizzie).


Titan requires at minimum:

3 people with decent balance, one of these a rogue or someone else good at sneaking (1 for the laser, 1 to run top buns, and the sneaky one to run bottom buns).
1 caster or bard with D-door to do the green puzzle. (Jillarcane can do this)
1 person with open lock to do the red puzzle.
1 DPS with a clue for the bottom pillars.
A monk or FVS with wings to do the yellow latch levers.

1 person can do the green puzzle alone, just takes a lot of running through d-doors and back to the room. 3 people are required to do the red puzzle.

Thanks Jill and Anto

I'm going to put something up on the DDO forum to try and organise the rest of the group for Saturday. It'd be nice not to have to worry about waiting for a Sulu/Horoth tank and also to get a good kiter and another healer (unless Jaayse is ToD flagged and interested). Is that ok? Hopefully, that'd also mean that everyone knows their roles!

It'd be great if you led Anto, I don't really like leading as such :s

Before I put something up though, I'd like to know who else is interested within the guild. Bella, Dee? Jaayse and Zillee, will you be ToD flagged by Saturday?

As for a time, I was thinking of starting at 6PM EST (that's midnight my time) if that'd be ok with you?

I swear I must be the most unambitious player ever =) If you hadn't prodded me into the sands and gianthold back in January, I'd likely still be bumbling around as a lvl 12 who logs on to rearrange her shortcut bars and then watches the world pass by. Okay so I have 5 days to flag for ToD, yeah? I'll see what I can do ^^ (and I'll prep my brain for information overload on saturday)

*hugs*

Just keep hugging that Stick Beth and all will be fine.

It IS a fucking wicked stick!

Well, I put a post up on the DDO forums.

Well, I must say I'm totally underawed by the response both here and on the DDO forums, but especially here

It only takes 2 seconds to say yay or nay.

well I wont be able to make it to either days and I have almost none of these packs so nay

Well, I wouldn't mind doing some of these

Chronoscope - Soorya (Fighter), Lyyriana (bard), Kyrriah (Rogue), Jaayse (Cleric)

Reavers - Jaayse (Cleric)

Demon Queen - Jaayse (Cleric)

Vault of Night - Kyrriah (Rogue, preferable), Jaayse (Cleric)

Titan - Jaayse (Cleric)

Shroud - Jaayse (Cleric)

Hound and VoD - Jaayse (Cleric)

SoS - Jaayse (only need the lorrik rune for my set to be complete!)

Am happy to help whenever I'm on on the 12th and 13th.

Have a variety of toons that I can use.

Rhankor is not flagged for Reaver's or Abbott, but everything else.

At the moment, I'm looking at doing a mini-raid train - Hound, VoD and TOD on the 12th at either 6 or 7 PM EST. Which of your toons would be best suited to such a thing Dee? They all have a lot to offer ^^

Better make it 7pm EST if we're doing that training run of Titan at 4 pm in case there's delays ^^

Are you joining us for Hound and VoD then?

It'll have to be at 6 P.M. EST because that's the time I put on the DDO forums and ppl have signed up for that time

Anyway, if Titan takes 2 hours, then there's a problem

Yup, sorry, wasnt that clear from earlier posts? My bad ^^

We can figure out which toons of mine to bring based on the situation/party.

My barbarian may not be off timer for most raids since I've been playing him recently.

However, I have a bard, a favored soul, a fighter, and a melee sorcerer that can all help.

My pally is still a level 7 TR and is not flagged for anything yet (unless you count owning Chronoscope as flagging).

Thanks,
Dee

I am a horrible person

I picked up an overtime shift 2 days ago for the 12th, forgetting that this was the day of the raid train. I might be able to catch the tail end of it, should be home by 2230 EST as long as I don't get held over.
