On the pubbie raid, we both tanked, so we went by War Horse and War Horse 2. And then we one-shotted it :(

Our next raid is at the usual time, I guess. Please try to be there, at it.

Just saw this on my FB feed. Seems pretty interesting addition to help buff abilities.

Quest question about end game gearing. Are NMs still the way to go to get the 10.x gear, and do they still have the 18 hour lockout on them? Been itching to get back into it as Eloelle, but now my playing time kind of changed not sure if playing later on in the day would hinder my chance to get into 18/18 and later NM dungeons.

What is later in the day for you? The goon presence has pretty much died (on Mumble at least) and we do our 18s around 7 or 8 est. The goon cabals are pretty dead too. Yet we seem to have a bunch of people who never show up to raids Sunday and Thursday at 9pm eat posting in this thread.

Yeah I meant that as in, maybe the newbies are European. If they're not though, their own drat fault. Even with Euro TZ it's possible to get goon 18s in, but without Mumble the chance of that is just zero.

So, new goons trying out TSW, join Mumble. You don't even need a mic, idling and using Mumble chat works for basic grouping.

There's a decent presence of AU/NZ people who hang out there as well, plus you get to hear drunk Cheston telling stories at 4am US time :v:

Just don't rely on the awful chat mentioned in the op to find groups or advice. Mumble is the way to go you'll almost always find people there.

I hope Tokyo has a dungeon as fun as Ankh. That's easily my favorite dungeon to tank because I have to actually do things instead of stand in one spot and I really hope they make more like it.

I'm hoping that if we get more dungeons, there'll be another one like Facility. I really liked that about half of the 'bosses' in that dungeon aren't linear 'here's a dude, kill the dude' fights.

Really? I thought you had Warchitect. Well, okay.

The necessary participant here is really Platbeard, none of us can be hosed to deal with the annoyance that is tanking it. He's got it down perfectly though. As long as you don't let him eating during the run.

Ralts and other guy I don't know, yes, we're still around, but not all of us idle in Mumble. Most of the regulars have each other friended on Steam and we pester each other there if we need warm bodies. Mumble is a good first stop though.

On the topic of Facility: please teach me how to not wipe to filthy russians over and over again. I even slotted amor fati so that I can guarantee a hit with chaotic pull, yet I still can't quite position them right.

The first 4 are definitely healtankdpsable in a consistent build however!

I will come bother you in Mumble at some ungodly hour again probably. I will also help people do masterplanners; I'm only missing Hell "Buggy And Difficult Instance That Only Yields 10BB" Fallen now.

They're quick and easy. the normal one will get you 2 fragments, the NM will get you 3. Both are on thirty minute cooldowns as well, and it shouldn't take more than 10 to blow through them.
