RE: Any endgame parties adapted to different timezones? - synaesthetic - 04-06-2014

Y'know, Clover, I might be able to do something. Because of recent changes in my life I've been waking up early and going to bed earlier rather than staying up to the wee hours of the night. 

I'm finding myself with a lot of time sitting around doing basically nothing during the morning hours, spending the midday and afternoon hours doing productive tasks (school, writing, etc) and either I get only a few hours to play XIV at night before bed, or I end up staying up way way way too late. I'm thinking of transplanting my playtime that happens after midnight to the early morning hours (9AM to 12PM ish, PST).

I would be willing to throw my lot in with you. I'm quite flexible with every role covered... I have BLM, SMN, SCH and WAR leveled and geared (the first three at i90 average, the latter at i80 average). Bard is also leveled but my bard gear is quite poor. Helping you out with Coil and EX primals in the early morning hours would certainly be more entertaining than staring at facebook for three hours!

Zhavi> Thank you for the link! Perhaps I should start being a bit active in the official forums, as I was in the last MMORPG I played...

Syaesthetic> You don't know how thankful I am for your offer @__@ I've replied to your PM with the details *excited like a silly girl*.

Apropos of Clover's interest here--which, by the way, our first run together was a good deal of fun--I've decided to form a fourth raid group within Unity. This group, known as Dawn Shard, needs members!

If any other Balmung players on European timezones would be interested in a little purely-for-fun raid group, please send me a PM. Smile Currently Dawn Shard is still in its early formation, so we're not entirely sure about scheduling just yet.

What we know so far:

Dawn Shard will very likely run two days per week, most likely Tuesday and Thursday, though this is still under discussion. Each event period will be three hours long, to start somewhere between 4:30PM UTC / 9:30AM PST and end somewhere around 8PM UTC / 1PM PST. The target length I'm shooting for is two meetups of three hours each.

Currently, Dawn Shard is in need of mostly everything! While I am participating in this fledgling group to help get it off the ground, we still lack even enough players to fill a full party. We were able to go with a pickup group on Monday, but we'll definitely want more dedicated Unity members as a part of Dawn Shard's regular roster!

Check out our thread on the RPC for updates and more information!

Ah, that's a very nice idea! Thank you very much for organizing this. Perhaps any of the people who replied to this thread might be interested?

I'd like to do Garuda EX at least once, so that I can learn the fight and feel less insecure about joining random parties later on.

Also, as a notice, I'm leaving this Saturday for a trip that will last a whole week. I might be able to (badly) play FFXIV in my laptop sometimes, but I won't have as much time for it as I have now, so... I won't be able to raid or do much from Saturday 12th to Monday 21st. I think I'll likely just log in to do my daily roulettes and cap my tomes, as I don't want to forget about those.

An update on this:

So Clover, K'nahli and a few other people from my FC have been contributing to this morning PST/Europe-friendly timezone PvE group. We don't really have enough interested parties to form a full consistent group yet, but we're actually fairly close!

We've been farming the Coil turns 1-4 and have successfully cleared Garuda EX, so the group is now working on Titan EX with the goal to eventually farm Leviathan E for i95 weapons and practice Twintania as well. (Please note that when/if the group reaches Turn 6, I will not be able to participate due to the lockout, as I am a full-time member of my FC static and we are currently working on Second Coil).

We've set regular times to run on Tuesday and Thursday at 5PM UTC and we typically run until around 7:30PM UTC. For those in North America, that's 10AM to 12:30PM PDT. When the time changes it'll be an hour earlier for NA timezones.

I've organized the group into a linkshell, so if anyone is interested in running at these times, please PM me here or ask me in-game for an invite!

I'm interested, I'll get that PM off in a  jiff.

My impressions on people who do Titan weekly.

In any case, the LS is a very good idea! Thank you for taking so much care of us EU players. I appreciate it.

It was good to do a few runs at his Titan'ness.

Us the bunch of RPers holding our swords by the wrong end did good. ... well anyhow, improvements from early wipes to progressing to heart consistently and a few time getting beyond.

That coupled with a really nice bunch made it actually a pleasant experience. It was about as opposite form PuG group rage than you can get.

We should have done a proper screenshot but here are a couple I snagged. Sorry if someone is hidden but they were just random.

*Amused*. Thank you for the screens! I'm glad to see F'yue being posted in this community, since he's an RPer too. He just can't RP in English, sadly.

RE: Any endgame parties adapted to different timezones? - synaesthetic - 05-10-2014

We'll be back dying on Titan again soon enough. Tongue Tuesday!
