Beacons Perch to Camp Rankor trip

[Stormy Eve]

I have a sin and rit that are up to beacon's perch.
If anyone wants we can arrange a trip trought the shverpeaks to camp rankor or Drogs. Not a run but a honest fight throught
It's ot very urgent from my point of view so ideas for day and time are welcome. (Mind that this sunday we are going into the Deep!)
See you!

[Radicc Tyranntt]

My rit would like to go along if its a time when I'm available.

[Dante Reims]

If i'm not going on the Deep Trip then i'll gladly help Stormy

[Pass The Towel]

I've still never explored Lornar's Pass, so I'm up for it if we can get online at the same time.

[Stormy Eve]

Since it's a 6 man party I think we have enouhgt interest to start planning
What about the end of the next week - Friday, Saturday or Sunday (10-12 august) starting around 8pm GMT?
Don't hesitate to make suggestions.
And does anyone know how much time it could take?

[Jersey Angel]

I would Love to go if it's next weekend!! My Rt needs to get there so she would be perfect for a kick a## fight the whole way. So if I'm not doing something else then count me in!!!

Besides you're all going to need an Angel to guide your way...

Next weekend I can't come, but maybe we can make more than one trip.

I did this one night, long ago, with pure prophecies characters, most without elite skill. With one dropout and a pushover warrior-beastmaster it took us more than one hour to cross the first region and we aborted. So depending on if you want to just cross it or map it, I'd estimate a balanced group should take 60-90 minutes for the whole trip, crossing only.

I can't make it next weekend but I can do the friday. I'll keep my eyes open for if you start it then ... if not then good luck!

[Stormy Eve]

Well if we get some people during the week we can try the trip. If we can make it in 2 hours I think I'll be able to persuade my girlfriend to let me play in the evening (from 6pm GMT). As I said I have Assassin and a Ritualist that would like to go to Droks So it's at least 2 trips.
I have made nearly to the end of lornar's with heroes and henchmen with my sin but with >50%DP...

[Clarice Stormcrow]

Ok, I will look out for you; my Dervish is now waiting in Beacon's

I think with a full human/hero team including a MM we should make it.

I will try to run it with Clarice too (finally have Charge!), just for laughs. If I have any chance of success I will offer a run

Good luck with that! The Drok's run is a nice challenge. Mybe we can practice dual running if we're ingame at the same time! That would be fun.

[Anomander]

If the time is right I will be happy to join in if there is a slot available.

I remember doing the Beacons - Droks with my monk and henchies (was pre-hero time) a long time ago; took more than 4 hours and a lot of patience not to aggro more than what we could handle.

My ele would like to fill the gaps in his map, but if monk support is need I am sure Xi Qyra would love to find out what happened in that area since the last time she visited!

If you plan to go today (Monday) - I can Join. I want to try out my "mind-blast-experimental mesmer" if you don't mind.
Please give a shout on the AC/DC ... euh AC/GC

Mazz - always challenging fate with his experimental builds

Definitely, if we can manage increased lag in the int district I'm all for it. Running with my Ranger was always a distant dream I wanted to realize. Although from what I see Dervish seems to be the latest fad in running... Hm, Cadhla is retired survivor, ...

Sure, Erika always needs new, promising builds ;D

[Stormy Eve]

After some silence from me on this thread I have a suggeston.
We can share each others play times (please use GMT) to sync the trip and choose the best day/time.
my playhours are (planned):
friday - 8pm - ...
saturday from 5pm - ...
sunday from 6pm
Hope we can make a team this weekend and dance in droks at the end! (Have spiked eggnogs for everyone in the team )
See you!

[Dante Reims]

A drunken Droks run?? hehehe that could be fun ..... I can't do the weekend but I might be available on Friday ... i'll keep a lookout for you.

[Clarice Stormcrow]

only sunday from ~8pm for me, I'm sorry.

But on the bright side I got some more equip for my trial run (running trial? ;D).

[Stormy Eve]

Im going to a friends houdse today so won't be able to be online in the evening. Hope I can make it in the weekend on above hours.
Sorry Dante.
May be we can postpone it for the next week if everyone will be online then?

[Dante Reims]

Don't worry about me Stormy. If you can get a team together over the weekend then, by all means, go ... i'll do it another time

[Clarice Stormcrow]

You missed all the fun last night

Angel's Rit, Anomander's Ele and Yours truly's Dervish tried their luck; together with a Monk, Ele and MM hero. sadly Lago, Korrax and Vol were busy or wanted to sleep early.

Fighting in Lornar's pass proved to be hard but manageable; we almost wiped once when a wurm was joined by a patrol, and against a dwarf army supported by dolyak riders. DP was manageable.
In Dreadnought's Drift we were stuck; in our best try we managed to clear the ring but failed to cross the plain before the final corridor. As DP accumulated there, we aborted after 2 hours.

On the sunny side, I now have most of the 2 regions' maps uncovered and will tweak my Dervish build some more. I correct the time estimate to 90-120 minutes if all goes well.
