People do this all the time actually. They form a group for one of their members who need the fight for example and then fill the last spot or two with others they don't even know. I'm sure lots of people out there got their first win that way.



I can see how from the perspective of someone frustrated by bad experiences with rude and impatient pick up groups, or seeing only spam for those selling runs might miss that though. That is why people probably get turned off of endgame in a lot of modern MMORPG's, but there are a lot of friendly/helpful people out there. It would be a shame if someone missed out on the endgame experience because of their experiences with a few bad apples.


We got a handful of people who responded already, I'll contact you soon. It would be helpful, if you are sending a PM at least, to list what times you are generally available so we can schedule you quicker. However we also may just send you a tell in-game too if there is an opportunity to run it sooner.

For those running with us just a quick rundown since we may do it differently from how you have been doing it:

Tanks: Position Titan on the far edge of the arena from entrance. During the triple line rock bombs dodge them by positioning yourself along the edge on the tip of an equilateral triangle formed by two rock bombs.



DD/Healers: Please spread out during weights careful so as not to trap others. Just imagine if there were weights around everyone and position yourself so you, and those around you have a safe spot to run. Choose one spot and stick to it the entire fight with the exception of running to tank during jump in 1st phase, and running towards middle to receive group heals when we call for tumult (but then quickly moving back to your position before weights).

If you don't have a lot of experience in the 2nd phase:

There is one more bomb pattern introduced here in addition to the clock/cluster design. Three lines of bombs appear, the middle pattern will explode first, followed by the first line to fall (so always run to the side of the last line to the fall).

Also during this phase Titan likes to use landslide at the same time as the first bombs explode trying to trap you. Once the warning is gone, and the animation has started the landslide area is actually safe so don't delay too long or you may get hit with a bomb. Another solution to this issue is to try to position yourself so that if you are targetted with landslide it will not prevent you from A. Being safe from initial explosion, or B. Getting out of the way. Do not however stand by the tank and risk having them hit by landslide please.

Another tip if you are having trouble getting out of weights make sure that you are spamming some kind of ability once clear of danger. This forces the server to update your position and will prevent those deaths where you appeared to be out only to still get hit.

I'm so proud of my fellow Excaliburians. This really does restore my faith in humanity.

Congratulations to Nyxus, Elza, Meiia, and Xemarious so far. I thought everyone did pretty good, no one was just in it to be carried and we had fun!

Keep in mind it might take a while before we can work you in (more time to practice and maybe beat it with a PUG!), we don't do this for a living. But contact me either on our site or in-game and I'll add you to friend's list and let you know when you are close and we'll organize something.

Please try and be helpful, and friendly in exchange in your encounters in PUGs etc. so we can dispel the whole terribly anti-social endgame players myth. IMO if people would keep a level head instead of turning on eachother most PUG's could beat titan, it happens everyday!

your soul :E

Heh.

So I am a pretty well geared SCH, full DL and Garuda weapon, 1 piece of AF2, but unfortunately I have been unable to DF this and because I am from the EU finding a solid FC to do this content with on Exaclibur has proven challenging to say the least.

So I would like to take you guys up on this offer if at all possible.

Tried to send Murugan Raj a message in game, he was online but didn't get a response.

I might have been afk doing some work if it was in the last hour or so. Will add you to friend's list next time I'm online and contact you once we get close to being able to do it with you (have a few people already waiting).

Murugan, I have tried looking you up a few times this weekend but it seems we are on different schedules. I would love to go along with on a Titan run and in future if you need a tank to help others. This is great idea and kudos to your FCC for helping out the community. I will continue to try to look you up. My typical play times are every evening 7:30 to 10:30 EDT.

Very cool of you guys to do this. I am still working on my DL set. I should have PLD AF2 chest by Wednesday along with Darklight Flanchard. The rest I have including Garuda sword. Will shoot you a tell once I've met the prerequisites. Thanks again for providing this service free of charge.
