Saturday T5 Marathon.(Feb 8)

[AdvancedWind]

Just throwing this out here to see if there's enough people interested.

I believe that many players out there are getting close to their first T5 wins, but are running into issues such as time constraints or trouble getting a full group to attempt it frequently. I'm pretty sure many also have those nights when your group progresses quite a bit, but has to stop for that day and, the following day, just don't seem to get there again. Maybe if you could just put some more time in it......


...Well, i'm trying to solve this by proposing a Saturday Turn 5 marathon.

The idea is simple: Get in and put as many hours as humanly possible to try achieving the victory, with an experienced group. You can then apply this experience back to your group the follwing weeks. Of course, the more people of your group you call for this, the better it is for you guys. *wink*.

What I'm looking for is people that are interested and sure they're gonna be available to attempt this the next Saturday, and possible more weekends if needed, but hopefully that should not be needed. I know at least one person that actually got his win in a PUG group doing something similar, so...yeah. (He took 7 hours, by the way).

My personal experience is twister phase, with some minor final phase exp. I do not have a win yet. My group (which is a FC 'supergroup' of sorts, joining our statics) currently reaches twister phase almost every run. I'm calling some of them, but not sure if they're gonna be available, so I'm making up this thread.

With all that said, here are the requirements and rules:


Item level: 85+.

Must be experienced to early twisters at minimum. This means almost never being hit by divebombs, knowing how to deal with snakes, knowing how to survive Aetherial Profusion and knowing how to avoid twister / deal with dreads, even if you haven't perfected that part. Must have at least read on the final phase (hatch + liquid hell) and have a good idea what to expect, even if never actually reached it. The plan is to work up from that point, not to simply reach it.

Must be available and willing to put 4+hours on Feb 8 and, if needed, Feb 15. Please do not join unless you're sure that you can do it unless something unexpected happens.

Joining priority for first players to post in thread. If we get more than 8 players, the remaining will be called in case we need to replace a player, or something unexpected happens. If we get 16 players, feel free to make another party. Heh.

Please understand that if specific players hold down the group, specially pre twister phase, we might need to replace him/her. This basically means constantly screwing up conflag / fireballs, or being constantly killed by divebombs. And yes, this rule applies to me, as well.

No pointless bickering, arguing or similar stuff. Shit will happen, we will wipe to stupid crap more than once and we might even need to replace people. No need to be a jerk about that. If you're not ready to wipe a lot, do not join.

Planned start time: Feb 8, Somewhere around 2-3PM EST, maybe a bit later.
Planned end time: 10PM EST+

10-15 min breaks every few runs, of course. Possibly a 30 min break during the night if the group wants to eat.


If you are interested, please post your name, class, experience (be honest about this, please.), time availability and ILv. Someone with a voice chat server would be welcome, I'm not sure if my FC's is gonna be available for this, but I will ask them.

Planned group composition: 2 tanks (1PLD / 1WAR if possible), SCH, WHM, BLM/SMN,BLM/SMN, BRD, Melee. Will accomodate a different setup if needed based on the people who sign up, do not see this composition as something set in stone.


With that said, let's do this. If less than 8 players sign up, will PF the rest for replacements. If less than 4 players sign up, we're postponing the run to Feb 15. If no one signs up, I'll cry. Do not make a lalafel cry.

Group

SCH: Ashley Zeibel. I90, twisters exp. Available all Saturday.

Sooooo, if you guys just wait for Saturday (assuming my Static doesn't down it again this week) I could fit both of you into my group. The last two weeks I have led partial pugs to wins. I typically am always down a tank on Saturdays, and a WHM. Ashley could you WHM, or are you exclusive to a SCH?

GL hope you guys down it.

Thank you ^^

Sure thing, gonna try to message you later

I can WHM, just not at the same skill or gear level. I think gear is somewhere between 83-85 (mix of allagan, CT, hero and crafted 70 + primal weapon). I need to actually login and check, gonna do that in a few more minutes. I can do it, but I'm definitely better on scholar.

With that said, I wouldn't mind joining your group Saturday if you want to. Since it's not 100% sure we're gonna be able to do it (and I certainly won't root against your static, I hope you get your win =D), I'll keep this thread open for now ^^.

I'm game for either which way just hit me up in game

We got our win, however I have another group going tonight. You're in the LS so when they're going (around 8CST) see if they need some assistance. I won't be on til late tonight, but I'll be checking in after. Thanks!

I am down to join. If considered, I have pots, food and whatnot to be ready to go. Here is my character loadout on the lodestone: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/2327515/

Anyone who may have been interested in this do NOT attempt to show up. Both of these two jumped servers sometime during the week. (I was part of the group)
