Early bird Master runs?

Thursday 15 July 2010 Master of Lady Grey 10 AM Eastern (of as soon as maint finishes)

1 Capa - Blaster
2 Viv - brute
3 Prof - MM
4 Blacjac - WP/DM brute (provisional)
5 Blood -Illusion/Rad Control (provisional)
6 Ameros - D3
7 Celtic - emp def
8 Mrs H - brute


Alt:
Gate - mm


Ok so now we have the core covered but we're still ISO something like a kin (ID/FS), dark/rad debuffage, emp buffage.
**
Blac & Blood - I've stuck those two chars down as provisional so depending on what we get 6, 7, 8 may ask you to swap to something else (Likely the dom Blood).

I'll join, just let me know what you need. Rad/Rad Corr (1 hold and debuffs), Ice/Icy Dom, Illusion/Rad Control (Hold and Debuffs) Ninja/TA MM(Hold, Debuffs)...

what time?

Count me in....boss will be out of town.
I can either bring the dark x 3 defender (no holds vs. Hami) or my blaster.
I have a fire/kin, but I don't trust myself with that toon in a Master run.

I can make Thursday and can bring any one of: fire/kin troller, bots/dark MM, stone tank, emp def, ill/rad troller, scrapper.

Looks like your team has the punching-and/or-kicking-things-in-the-face department pretty well covered. When Thursday morning rolls around, if you find you're short in that area (due to cancellations, or swapping out for other archetypes), feel free to shoot me a /tell and I'll send Dash Bleu (my badger) your way (lv.50 ma/sr scrapper).

It's cool. I've got a few support toons should the team make-up require it.

i'm in if ya still got a spot, i got botts/ff mm, one of the best on Guardian fully slotted and buffed up lol

@Ultimate Gate

Gate I've put you down as an alt.

I'll look at the characters tomorrow and edit this post with any changes.

Thanks all.

Thanks Capa for runnin' it.

That's 9am Central time...*yawns*

Ok I'm fiddling with Blac's, Celtic's and Blood's characters. I want to make sure we have enough debuffs and we have some form of mez removal such as ID/CM/Clarity or the other one I forget a lot. And holds.

Armeros, how many holds does your D3 have?

Celtic, what flavour is your Emp defender? Does your emp/kin have CM/ID?

Hopefully I'll stick an updated rosta up tonight.

Thanks for your patience all.

No holds on the D3, as I did not take Fearsome Stare. Unless I respec the toon and add that in. However, I was hoping not to do a respec until after GR goes live.

Celtic Druid (emp def) is Emp/Dark Blast with CM and 1 hold. He also has Absorb Pain for emergencies and the snipe. Celtic Thermal (fire/kin troller) does not have ID.

Ok finalizing the team here in this post.

We start prompt at 10 am.Eastern tomorrow.

Thursday 15 July 2010 Master of Lady Grey 10 AM Eastern (of as soon as maint finishes if the red text of doom interfers)

1 Capa - Blaster
2 Viv - brute
3 Prof - MM
4 Blacjac - Tank or Taunting brute (whichever one you feel most comfortable with blac)
5 Blood - Rad/rad corr please but equally happy with ill/rad troller or ice dom
6 Ameros - D3 - don't respec for this
7 Celtic - Emp/Dark defender
8 Dashy - scrapper

That gets us firepower, at least three holds (Zappy has two), some -regen from dark and some nice debuffs plus at least three lots of healing.

No Fulcrum Shift but I was playing with team combo's last night and I think the above works best.

wow. great timing: extended downtime tomorrow 9a-12n. wheeeeee!

Guess this begs the question: Are we still on, even if it starts later?

Expletives.

Yes if everyone can make it, I'd like to start asap after maint.

So does eveyone have 3-4 hours from the end of maint?

Sorry, Capa -- I'm afraid I'll have to bow out of this one. I'd completely forgotten that I had a 4am airport run this morning, just got back, and I'm just now getting to bed (5:22am PST atm). I'd be beyond foggy, and that's not what a Master-of team needs from any of its members. Sorry for the last-minute notice on this; I hope one of your stand-by's is available. I'd just hate to be a detriment to the team by not being able to give 100%. Best of luck to everyone.

--Chris

I should have 3-4. I leave work at 5PM EST, so barring a ridiculously long maintenance, I should be good to go for the run.

See you shortly

Extended live Server Downtime - Thursday, July 15th 2010
The NORTH AMERICAN & EUROPEAN LIVE SERVERS will be offline for an extended maintenance on THURSDAY, 15TH JULY 2010.

START TIME: 6AM Pacific Time (9AM Eastern Time / 2PM British Time / 15:00 Central European Time)

EXPECTED DURATION: 3 hours

EXPECTED FINISH TIME: 9AM Pacific Time (12PM Eastern Time / 5PM British Time / 18:00 Central European Time)

Patch notes will be available after this downtime.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like we might be starting between 12PM and 1PM EST (at least on my end). Cutting it a little close, but I will be there.

I'm off all day and should have no problem. I'm just concerned about the other people. We'll see what happens.

I'd suggest opening up the updater now while the maintenance is going on. That way, your end is ready when the servers go up.

Thanks for the info, Blac.

Updating as I type...

I'll still be available to run ... patching now.

Ok my friend is cooking dinner early (IE NOW) and I should have eaten by 5pm. Great idea on the pre-patching. I am sat on the Server Status page but updating now didn't occur to me. It's applying as I type this.

No worries, Chris; I wasn't sure if you were working to be honest. We'll deal. Thank you for being honest enough to bow out and taking the time to let me know in advance. I've done the early shift airport runs and .. yeah.

Hope to see you all soon. I'm seeing 'unknown' and not 'down' on Guardian right now. Will see when I finish applying but I will eat before starting or I'm going to be miserable.
