As a repost of our conversation on Monday night, I am contemplating us switching to more modern events. Abyssea has run its course and everyone will have at least 2 jobs with full +2 not including FL drops that we've had. Everyone has gotten pretty much any item they want and I feel it would be a waste of talent to continue doing abyssea zones, so the new events were to include Einherjar, Walk of Echoes and mission lines still to be done. I don't know much about Einherjar and have never done it myself, but Exso was gracious enough to step up and offer to lead it after scraping the rust off of his memory about it. On Monday night, we also talked about the possibility of pushing Thursday night's run to 9pm EST instead of 11pm EST. I am all for this change if the members are. I'd like everyone to post below here on the 9pm EST on Thursday issue, whether you are good with it, not good with it or just to confirm that you have read this post and are indifferent as to whether the time changes or not.. The last thing I want to do is block members that attend from coming because of a time change. Monday night however has to stay at 11pm. Rath has a group of Voidwatchers that run at 10pm EST on Monday to be done in time for SkellingtonCrew's event so that one can't be changed. I'm also juggling the possibility of Limbus. The zones are mostly simple at this point, some might still need ancient beastcoins for gear from Sagheera like Boxer's Mantle, maybe others want AF+1 and probably the biggest reason (I hear) that Homam/Nashira will be augmentable in the future. I want to solidify the fact that I heard this, I did not personally read it. I did find several posts suggesting the possibility of it, but nothing concrete stated by SE, but that's not to say the info isn't out there. If people are for the idea, we will probably add that in to Saturday night. None of these changes will happen until everyone is finished with their priority jobs' +2 though. Hard work is being put in to plan getting everything done in the next few weeks, barring VNM abyssites refusing to change. The only thing that has already been set in motion is the Saturday night mission night, and even that is when people post for help, otherwise it will be used to finish +2.
-The reason for Einherjar? The abjuration gear from Einherjar follows the same rules as sky abjuration gear and can be augmented for great results. Also, pieces drop there that would otherwise be fairly difficult to find.
-Next on the list, why WoE? New confluxes were released in the last update that have some very nice gear, as well as the fluxes that were released before those that have some good spell drops that people may need for their jobs or would like to sell.
-And lastly, why missions/quests? This one is probably self explanatory. Some fights are harder than others and people maybe haven't had much success shouting for groups, or maybe just haven't had the time or drive to do them. Most notably being the add-on fights for the augmentable gear, which is still quite useful even at 99, or maybe someone wants to re-do their earring, others want to do Alexander. The reasons for wanting to do it are your own, so let's get cracking on them! P.S. In order for missions to work, people need to make sure they do their cutscenes ASAP. Remember some things require you to wait until JP midnight for the next part, so don't wait to do them. I will try to group people together on a mission that they all need, job willing. If say 7 people need it and it's a 6 man BCNM, we'll have to do it twice. If 6 people need it and I'm not one of them, I'll do my best to lead from outside so there isn't a need to do it twice.
Nio is awesome :) <4 - Aka
