That was probably us. We had loads of wards up, aegis cycled and I had a few stances.

Calling me a liar and a histrionic in public and then deleting my posts pointing out your unfair treatment of me is no way to make friends. Come on man, you're a mod, you should know better.

kukuman will be providing the ventrilo server, based on the meeting that parts of the group had last night. We may also be doing a practice run soon.

Sarus told me that the best/easiest time to do Tombs is in the morning EST, while the worst time is around 11:00 PM EST on Fridays, because that's when the big, bad, tough guilds do their Tomb runs. If we can do it in the afternoon or on the morning of any day, that would be great. Can anyone do it at those times?

Santanus_Perro · Jun 04, 2005, 06:43 PM // 18:43

Sunday morning or afternoon would work. I will try to get my last 15 att points today, and see what additional skills I can buy, unlock, capture, etc. so as to provide as many options as possible.

Minwanabi · Jun 04, 2005, 06:49 PM // 18:49

@ Blackace

Yeah, it's interesting to see Tombs lieing face down after being killed, since that never used to happen. Hopefully we can work some of the kinks out soon, and, on that same note, where have you been lately?

Joshjje · Jun 04, 2005, 07:00 PM // 19:00

Yeah, Im usuallly up very late and sleep in late (like 2pm-3am) but gotta get a job soon so most likely that will change.

I just had pretty good idea though that we could utilize. We should setup an IRC channel, or something like that where we can get on and talk about this stuff and setup times and places, and also maybe even a place where PUGs can form more efficiently. If everyone likes the idea, i could set us up a channel.

Venom · Jun 04, 2005, 08:24 PM // 20:24

I like the irc channel idea.
I should be available most of this weekend if you guys wanna get together and go over strats or actually get some playing in

Joshjje · Jun 04, 2005, 08:38 PM // 20:38

Yeah, to compensate for GW lack of a good system for forming groups, I started thinking of ideas. I thought of several ideas all based on using a website or an IRC channel. I also thought about a ranking/feedback system where people who group with very bad players can leave feedback or rank them or leave a comment about it or give them a good rating or something to that sort. Of course there would need to be some sort of flaming prevention to try to hurt somebody else rating. Or some sort of script or setup that people can check to see who is looking for a group, i dunno just some ideas.

Shadowsting · Jun 04, 2005, 09:09 PM // 21:09

Hmmm...............I don't have vent or TS unfortunately, but I have been looking for Tomb groups with intelligent people who:

A) Know what they're doing
B) Have an actual shot of winning (Or at least doing well).

My guy: Master Shadowsting (E/Mo)

Lightning Strike
Lightning Javelin
Lightning Orb
Chain Lightning
Enervating Charge
Ether Prodigy (E)
Protective Spirit/Protective Bond
(Whatever I feel like for the Last slot)

My guy is okay, I suppose. Comments/ideas would be VERY welcome.

Joshjje · Jun 05, 2005, 12:19 AM // 00:19

OK, I have setup an IRC channel on GameSurge, #GWPUGs. When I have more time I will make a new topic with instructions on how to get there, etc.

Kyo Yuy · Jun 05, 2005, 12:34 AM // 00:34

Making a channel/forum/site area for this sounds like a great idea. However, I personally would like to make sure that this "advanced PUG" idea is actually effective first, before I ask someone for help in making this system.

Venom · Jun 05, 2005, 12:38 AM // 00:38

Just got to the channel, thanks for setting it up Joshjje.

Shadowsting · Jun 05, 2005, 12:39 AM // 00:39

I feel like such a noob asking this.............

But how do you use an IRC channel?

Sovetskeey · Jun 05, 2005, 12:53 AM // 00:53

I'll put together a build in a bit. I probably won't end up doing W/R just because pets are pretty much useless in PvP.

Edit:
Okay, I just finished putting one together. I have yet to try it though.

Warrior/Monk
11 Swordsmanship
11 Tactics
11 Smiting Prayers

Pure Strike
Galrath Slash
Final Thrust
Gladiator's Defense
Balthazar's Spirit
Strength of Honour
Healing Signet
Resurrection Signet

Joshjje · Jun 05, 2005, 12:53 AM // 00:53

You need mIRC or some other IRC client (www.mirc.com). Then you need to connect to GameSurge (GameSurge random US server). Then /join #GWPUGs. Soon as I get some more time ill write up a whole new topic explaining everything in detail.

Venom · Jun 05, 2005, 12:57 AM // 00:57

1) download mIRC from www.mirc.com
There are other clients for irc, but mIRC is the most popular one.

2) Once you have it installed, click on tools > options > Servers
Then click "add"

3) Add any gamesurge surver. List available at: http://www.gamesurge.net/servers/

4) Click connect to server

5) Once connected, in the popup window that appears, type in #GWPUGs
You can also join any channel by typing "/join #<channelname>" in any of the chat windows, or status windows.

Shadowsting · Jun 05, 2005, 01:07 AM // 01:07

Thanks. I'll be in the chatroom soon.

In defense of aholes like myself, being an ahole does get you some pretty solid tombs groups. I run mine like an army brigade, and i'm having alot of fun doing it. Anyway the members keep coming back so I guess they're loving it too. Either that or winning I guess. Good luck tho

I'd say both actualy, that 8 warrior team was the most hilarious fight I've ever had so...

Anyway to stay on topic,I'm on a very small guild with just me and 2 other PvPers, so any opportunity to play PvP is welcome, so whenever you feel you need a good monk, just contact me.

I'm just a poor rank 2 monk and my ingame names are:
Nande Aloufin E/R
Steffine Lafess N/W
Aiko Sereno Mo/Me

and my PvP char is named Aiko PvP Mo/the best combo I can think at the time.
I usually play protection monks, but I can also play healing monks or any combination using mesmers rangers or elementalists. I have TS and Vent, but still working on getting my mic to work on Vent...
PM me ingame if you need me and I will send you my build(s).

Dak Frostarrow · Jun 05, 2005, 01:47 AM // 01:47

Kyo Yuy · Jun 05, 2005, 02:05 PM // 14:05

For the sake of easy viewing, I've updated the FIRST post with the roster and character information.

Based on reviewing the topic, I've found over 16 people willing to take part in this little project. That's means we could theoretically form 2 full parties with room to spare!

Shadowsting, please post your attributes information. I would like that in order to get a firm grasp of what your character is all about. Thank you.

Also, people who have not posted any character information yet, please do so at this point. Your information will make party planning and strategizing much easier, and provide for a far more effective Tombs experience than any normal PUG.

Joshjje · Jun 05, 2005, 05:19 PM // 17:19

OK guys the IRC channel information has been posted here:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=18590

We can use this place, as others can, to form PUGs. Hopefully there is enough interest (Read the post). If not, our little group here can use it for chatting and to set times and what not.
