Ilv96 WHM considering switching from Titan to Tonberry

I am currently playing in Titan, which is a 99% JP community (I speak some Japanese but very basic). I have cleared T6 weekly & half way into T7 with JP PUG, but am considering if it would be better to switch server to Tonberry as it has a higher EN population. My time is GMT+8.

As we are considering foreigner on Titan, I preview every content before any raid to make sure we don't screw up, I joined other foreigner static for T6 before and it sickens me to see the same 1 or 2 persons still screwing up on bouquet after 3 or 4 raids, which I ended up joining JP PUG instead.

So my question is how normal it is in Tonberry to Clear T6-7 with PUG currently?
Average skill level of the players in PUG? People adapting to error and not make the same mistake given it is a experienced pt?

On the side note, any static that needs a WHM? I have busy work life thus sometimes I can only get on after 10pm GMT+8.

It's the same on Tonberry, most people regard English as the worse players of the server. But like with anything there's still good English players. There's some pugs that beat T6 here but I don't think I've ever heard of a Full-Team Pug clearing T7 ever.

The English speaking will be much more though, half the server speaks English.

Thank you for your reply. I was kinda expecting the PUG will just transform from JP to EN with the same consistency, but that clears up. I will probably wait until server merge or when SQEX gives out free server transfer to do the jump then. :)

tonberry full of nobs liek me. need jp teach to clear coil. Have mercy jp-sama.

Lucky to have JP teaching how to clear in English. Rarely see JP speaks any English on Titan.

Hey man,

We are looking for a WHM to fill up our ranks. We are in the 8+GMT timezone as well.

We raid usually 2 days on weekdays and 1 day weekend. We try to keep the days as static as possible.

We are currently T6 on FARM and currently at Archer/Magician adds phase.

We would like to trial you so that all the members click with you and vice versa.

Let me know if your interested. :)

Thank you for your offer. I have decided to stay a few more weeks at Titan server as well as hope that SQEX will provide free server transfer by the time I move.

Over the last few weeks our FC has died down a lot, FC static disband so my friend is coming with me to Tonberry.

So far our progression as below:

whm/sch ilv99 T8 enraged
sub brd ilv92
Smn ilv95 T7 last phase
sub pld ilv90

We are in GMT+8, transfer probably be arranged within this week. Any static has a slot for us? We can play our sub if necessary but just need to gear up a bit.

Are you guys still looking for a whm? How's T7 going? ^^

rolf evil nice to see you here,I went to tonberry and here is my report.

Server environment
I can tell you that the player level and server environment and the market is similar to titan. Put people sell carries here :(

PF
The other good thing in this server is you will still find a few PF late at night, Pf language preference is like 80% english/jap, 20 % Japanese. And the server seem lack of healers.


statics and coil raid
There are a few guild with dedicated website continuously update and recruit static member. E.g In Miria guild and they do have a few people from HK, and have a dedicated website for raid groups. PUGed T7 last week and passed.

What do you mean by T8 enraged thou? We need a SCH preferably with T8 clear experience but if the SCH is a good SCH and knows what to do for T8, being comfortable in it and just that he/she could not clear due to other issues, such as not enough raid DPS or other raid member's mistakes, we can consider pushing the SCH. It's not that difficult as we pushed one of our new member (WAR main, plays BLM in T8, replaced our old WAR who left the game due to work commitments) to a T8 clear within the same night we brought him in.

We are currently looking for a SCH only because our SCH is going on a long holiday. We are currently T6-T8 on farm while working on T9 (on the first 2 phases). We do not belong to the hardcore type, you can say it is fairly "casual" in a sense. Typical raid times are Monday-Thursday + Sunday @ 10pm-12am GMT +8.

I understand that you have a friend with you but as we only have one slot, we could only use a SCH. Let me know if you are keen :)

T8 enraged means the WHM hit the hard enrage timer

Yeah which is why I'd like to understand more what caused the hard enrage timer. Generally it is due to lack of DPS and/or DPS derping and dying to mechanics - just hoping that it is not due to inadequate healing (ie not topping up the homing missile guy/landmine players, causing them to die to subsequent damages)

Esper which FC are you in? I know you transferred but I can't find you from player search, PM me up when you get online tonight.

First updating my status, my transfer was completed last night, so yeah I am ready to start rolling anytime.
For T8 experience, I hit enraged timer once with a JP PUG but dps was far off. I think i am pretty thorough with the mechanic of T8 that I do aldo & succor before & after each AOE, homing, AF. Leech debuff off MT within 1-2 sec if assigned the duty, Balistic duty was pretty easy as well... So with an experienced party I am sure I can push through very soon.

Rui team is definitely a very very good choice for me with your progression in T9 & your time is just perfect for me, but the only thing is that I can't be playing with my friend who migrated with me... Seems like an ass if I ditch him like that...
So I gotta see if Reisz team can have a spot for my friend (smn) then it would be the right thing for me to do despite his invitation come next & whatever progression he is on. Afterall he spent $18 to come here with me right~ :)

For this CD (until 2 June), I have already completed T7, so if you guys are doing T8 and missing a sch/whm just hit me up in game and we can do a trial together. :) I will be leaving office now and be online around 8pm-1am GMT+8 so appreciated if we can have a chat in game later to discuss. Cheers!

heya Eviled, I see we stole you for the moment.

Just wanted to post to add that Rui is awesome (unless he suffered a personality change in the last few months) and if you're lucky enough to find a place in his team you wouldn't be sorry.

Alternatively, as you're with us for the moment, i think there's a new team starting up that's looking for a sch. They'll be starting their learning from T6, so maybe that will be a bit slow for you, otherwise they're on the Mirai forums here.

PS: hi Rui!

Hai Ren!

^ the above guy is awesome too :3

P.S. I'm not the raid leader thou >.>

The raid is mostly from FC Ascendance, the leader is Nikorasu Dragonik, the recruitment officer is Frizz Dragonflight :)

For the static, we met a small group who is just short a healer + smn, so we decided to join them. I really appreciate Rui & Reisz for your fantastic offers and feel bad that I have to pass this time. I hope you guys find a sch soon, and smooth raiding!

Hi Ren, well just not for the moment. I like Mirai has a very active forum and a busy in game chat, which are the reason we wanted to join Mirai. Joining which static has nothing to do with the FC as that's what a LS is for. ^^w

Yay :D

Good luck with your static :D
