Thurs & Tues 16 & 21/2/2012

[Ayalinda]

Make sure you don't volenteer an Alt you want to take to T2 on Sunday. Day 1 will be the first 3 wings with whatever you can bring. Day 2 will hopefully be a crack at Saruman with people on their mains.

Start time 7:30pm UK, we will start clearing trash if people can't make it that early.

Orthanc T1, fingers crossed we have this down now, so lets start moving our alts through for the armour deeds. Standard rules apply, (copied from Raed)

I always try to give people a chance every so often, so be patient, and your turn will come (and I will roster 2 raids if we get the numbers). Make sure you have passed the gating requirements for any alt you wish to volunteer.

If you are selected, please ensure you are

* On time! (Or at least the time you said in your post)
* Properly traited
* Properly kitted out (i.e. the kit you want is not still in the vault!)
* In possession of adequate quantities of food & scrolls & +5 / Level 80 pots (hope or otherwise).
* Familiar with the Teamspeak Guide & any other relevant Guides (regardless of how out-of-date they are - there is still useful info in them).

Penalties may be inflicted for failing to comply!

The color code for available / selected:
Name in normal - willing & available.
Name in bold - selected.
Name in black - all days.
Name in red - First day.
Name in green - Second day.
Name in strikethrough - cancel / no-show

[Shalathra]

I know (cause I checked) that the 17th is a Friday... If it you meant Thursday the 16th I'm in, if its Friday the 17th then I'll need to say 60% of being there.

Tuesday is a no go for me

[Ayalinda]

Dammit how do I get the date wrong every time. Yes it's Thursday 16th.

[ReDGryffyN]

Aya

If it is any consolation the Beorningas Calender is out a day also for not taking into account Leap Year on my screen anyway

[Culler]

I would prefer to take my guardian for this.

[Raedwulf]

Available Tue on all alts; not sure of Thu, when LM & CPT are definitely not; BRG may be 75 as well, by then.

[Tsureknath]

Since there are T2 runs scheduled, I should sign up captain for T1 day 1 then

[Carranor]

Hunter or Captain please although RK or Guard if you really need

[Miluineth]

Like to join, prefer loremaster, keeping minstrel for T2.

[Jeliasko]

I have a champ ready for that :)

[Merwen]

If you have a spot for the new person I can bring a Champion or a loremaster if you really need it I can bring minstrel as well :)

[Beorthond]

My cappie is up again.
After a week of fiddling with my internet (should have a stable connection again.... bloody new modem!!!) and being sick from friday till now, I can join in again.
So if you need my CPT, sign me up.
Beor

[Notiane]

Don't know when (or if) I'm home thursday (certainly not before 20.00), definitly available tuesday. Burglar, minstrel or captain (loremaster reserved for T2, maybe available for tuesday as well)

[warryn]

I am happy to join if you need another captain for tier1 on thursday
Hunter prob on tier2 on sunday

[Awerth]

If you need me for the numbers I can join Thursday but not tuesday, any of mine are capable of tier 1

[Shalathra]

I'm afraid I'll need to cancel my X for this one...

[Notiane]

Update, as I said in game yesterday, my plans have changed and I'm available for tonight (thursday) as well.

[Ayalinda]

Roster is up. A lot of flexibility if you'd prefer another alt to the one I've rostered.

[Raedwulf]

Hope it's flexible enough to remove me. I did warn you I wasn't certain of tonight's availability - it looks like I will be working intermittently well into the evening.

[Merwen]

Thanks for the raid guys was fun :) Sorry about the little accident on the wing pull:oops: *hugs*

[Ayalinda]

Nevermind, we got 3 wings down. Good job Jeli on picking up the giant so quickly when Fsori went down.

[Shalathra]

If the weather prediction for Tuesday is right I might be able to join...

[Jeliasko]

I like tanking with the champ - with more of the orthanc armour becomming available, I should be more and more capable of doing that :) Looking forward to Shadow and Saruman :)

[Ayalinda]

Roster for tomorrow is up, to be clear you are on your alts whose names are in green/black.

[Jeliasko]

It would be nice if I can join on champ, but can be captain if the raid needs that

[Raedwulf]

Reluctantly, I'm going to have to withdraw from this, as I've a rather busy week this week & I can't really spare the time. There again, I didn't do any of the work on Day One, so fair's fair if that means someone else gets to do both days!

[Ayalinda]

Shal your in (I missed your second post when rostering, let us know whether you are free or not). Merewin currently put you on your LM.

[Shalathra]

I'll probably skip this one, the sun is up and I got a new pair of shoes to try out :)

[Ayalinda]

no worries, we're one short then, so if anyone is free speak up now! otherwise I'll be looking on the alliance channel.

[conrar]

sure thing champ here

[Ayalinda]

Booyah, Saruman down! Big well done all. Pity the loot was a bit crap.

[ReDGryffyN]

Indeedy! Great job on finally downing this Pensioner !! Congratulations to all and well done to Aya for leading us to victory!

Will post screenies tomorrow

[Culler]

Yeah was fun to finally get him down. I did like the 'what the hell moment' when phase 6 opened up, caught us all by suprise as we thought we had finished it.

Its a shame that those that got knocked off the tower did not get their deeds done. Turbine have known about this bug for a good while and could easily have fixed it one way or another... Just taking the knockback attack out of phase 6 would have worked. Oh well. I suppose we can try to use next weeks run to get people their deeds.

All in all I've enjoyed the T1 side of ToO. It's a shame that loot is so horrible. Apart from my guardian most of my charcaters are a little under geared for T2. It would be nice if taking them through T1 ToO would help them gear up for the challenge of T2 but this seems not to be the case. I really cant be bothered to grind raid skirmishes anymore (will likely be doing it come RoR) so at the moment am in a bit of a rut progression wise. I did think that the removal of stat caps would help with itemisation but it seems worse than ever. Especially as gear is much more important these days.

[Raedwulf]

That's about typical. I have such a busy week that I have to (generously) pull out of Tue, since I can't guarantee to be fully available & you go and beat him. Inconsiderate, I call it... ;)

Well done to all, and especially to Aya, our most junior & novice RL. If you try that "I am the master now..." line on me, though, yer fooked, I'm warning' ye! {Evil Grin} The loot may have been crap, but there was a cloak clasp, wasn't there? What was actually won?

[Ayalinda]

no, no cloak clasp.

As I remember
Worn symbol of cerebrimbor - Red?
Sword - Noti
Light helm - Merewinin
Medium shoulders - Warryn (as he was the only medium person :p)
Tailor recipe - Mil
