6PM EST is probably fine for everyone else, I'm just in :australia: (which never mixes well for organised stuff in MMOs) and read the time you posted initially wrong as plat pointed out :downs:.

That's about 9:30am for me, but it would also require me to patch, and subsequently remember how to play, this game.

I am coming into this conversation a bit late but what do you need a group for? If we are talking something sub-nightmare dungeons or the raid it might almost be easier to hop on mumble and see if EvilBillMurray (Len on the forums) is alive. He has been haunting the mumble server and can usually get a few more people who are over geared for elite dungeons and other groupie stuff.

If we somehow have 2-3 goons who are looking for elite dungeons Len and I (or anyone with leech healing) can do those. Do we have more than one goon looking for the elite dungeon runs?

Hey would you guys be interested in running some dungeons sometime? Or maybe doing some lairs and trying to summon one of those bosses?

Maybe schedule something on saturday?

Prefect was up for doing dungeons but he isn't nightmare ready so we are going to do elites.

Bunch of goons replied and were up for it, just trying to coordinate something where we can all get together.

I just want to get a group together to do some stuff. Maybe move up to nightmares or the New York Raid without having to deal with the LFG channel looking for 1.8s or that crazy math formula they ask for.

This is true. If I'm home I'm in the Ohio Own Zone on mumble. Usually not doing anything else and I'm not against slumming it though some lower tier dungeons. I never made a leech heal set but I have sets for any other role.

Feel free to drop in and see what I'm up to.

So far its me and prefect in the game. I got a buddy that can run the dungeons as well. We are in mumble in the Setting Rivers on Fire, and we are also in the awful chat channel.

Edit: We got a full team! Woooo!

Edit: Did 4-5 elite dungeons and had some great times! Ill organize something for next weekend so our aussie friends can participate!

Allright so what timezone is everyone in? Mercurial you said "Oceanic" but uhh thats a lot of timezones.

If we scheduled something next week, either dungeons or lairs, who would be interested and what timezone and time works for you? Was thinking maybe Saturday at 8pm EST? Or Sunday at 3pm EST?

I am +9:30 GMT in Australia (ACST). This is one of the only MMOs I know of where half the active goon population are in Australia or New Zealand.

There's a teaser for some new bioware game, and it mostly made me want a single-player Secret World RPG. Here's hoping it's that, and that in interviews they cite The Secret World as an inspiration. And not Indigo Prophecy.

I got an email from bioware saying "you have been chosen" with a picture of a knocked over lamp and my first thought was the TSW intro. Forgot to actually watch the trailer once I was at my pc though and now I'm phonebound again - did it look any good?

It was all live-action. It looked... paranormal? I didn't get the impression that everything would be true.

It looked okay, very similar to the initial TSW trailers which is definitely a plus. I'd be happy for more urban rpg and at least it isn't Funcom.

It's bioware though, so odds are good that it'll have the same plot as literally everything they've ever done (ancient evil returns to destroy us all) and cack combat but people will flip their poo poo because romances!

Yeah I pretty much expect to be able to gently caress romance every party member so long as I give them enough 'gifts' because that's how human relationships work :suicide:.

That said more supernatural urban games are not a bad thing and it'd be great if they just outright stole all the good parts of TSW like the lore and the investigation missions and such to make a great rpg.

If this is the one they hired Failbetter for, the writing could be a lot better than the usual Biowank. It could also be an entirely new flavour of intolerable.
