Eggtenders are bugged atm and only have melee attacks. My guild is still stuck on Proteus though; probably going to do a FT/EE/GA tomorrow and then IG 2/3 on Sun/Mon

It looks like I won't be able to make it either Sunday or Monday, probably going to be Monday, but I'll keep you guys updated, it's only going to be one of those, not both. I know my attendance has been somewhat flaky lately, but it's not always under my control.

I'd still rather play with medieval knights online then go outside and "hang out".

Show up on Sunday @ 9. I'm supposed to be in it, though I'll probably sub in for hedo some way or another since he said he might not make it. I don't think enough people have 520 hit at this point, though we may be close enough that we'd be able to PUG the last few slots.

Goon Squad usually does FT/EE on Wed, then finishes it up on Mon if there's anything left. Rest of the time on Mon is probably for T2 raids.

For some reason Lycini is 40k behind, and the Torvan essences are good enough for now. Lycini will come when I get another space of time... Eventually.

You can do that pretty fast if you chain rifts in City Core.

Is anyone interested in burning through some crafting rifts on Thursday night? I'm thinking of starting at the normal raid time (9 PM east coast) unless anyone has any objections; any time in the following few hours would also work for me.

Let it be known that the honourable goon squadron cleared FT/EE before the nerfs were put in place to make it easy.

I'm no shitposter; I always know how I'm posting is wrong. I'm just a guy that doesn't like reading the thread, effortposting, and respecting the mods. So if you think about it, I'm the best poster here.
I built my char in a different shard because I didn't think to check for a goon guild, and I spent some money for bag slots for the wrong-shard char. Is there any way to get a character transferred to a different shard?

As long as you aren't on EU servers, you can transfer once a week for free. I think the button is in the character select screen

eh, we didn't really even bother to learn the fight (though the exploit only really negates 2 mechanics). we just want to down proteus and get to warden thrax, because that fight looks fantastic.

breaker is still easier on account of it having a practically nonexistent dps check.
