Yasha.6105:

Any members here in the guild who want to run path 3 daily (or even twice) or path 2 daily? Even at peak hours with 40+ members on, hardly anyone is changing their icon status to lfg. I still have to resort to PUGs to do my daily runs.

I’m usually avaiable nights PST, sometimes during early afternoon as well.

I’ve been having a hard time finding groups as well. I think some people in the guild just needed one run for Dungeon Master, so now they’re done. I turn on my looking for group tag, but then usually end up doing some CoF or fractals, which turns the tag off. Whisper me if I’m on, I’ll probably go as soon as I’m out of the dungeon I’m currently in.

To be honest I think people should represent when willing to do a run, sure you can whisper everyone but it just doesn’t feel right to me, I get a lot of “I’ve done it for today, or not enough time”, or just get ignored so posting in gw2lfg seems easier. I think representing when wanting to find a group or do a run would help more, but I think a chat system like vent would be better, that way we could get to know members better.

I’ll start to make sure I have my lfg up when I am available. I am eastern time though, but am usually up pretty late. I normally get on after 7-7:30 pm ish. If I am able to help out, I will. I tend to do path 3 each night and sometimes path 2 as well.

I think you hit the nail on the head here regarding one run for DM. I’m sure many of those in the guild did the one run with Obal and joined just for the heck of it. Maybe we need a new topic “Arah Vets Grouping Together to do DAILY (or frequent) Arah Runs” :-D

I’ll add you later

I can vouch for nova staying up really late! ;-)

For Dungeon Master title, they have to complete all Dungeons All Paths (correct me if I’m wrong). So I don’t think running just 1 path, especially P3 (the easiest path) would do them any good to acquire the title and 1 path run with Obal as a newbie, wouldn’t give you any real experience because he did all the works (look at me, guys).

The real experience comes when they start running w/ different groups with various level of experiences & compositions then they will realize there’re more to learn. Some will step up to the plate, some will say nah, it’s not worth it, couple runs are enough to know what’s in there. This applies to all dungeons, just not Arah.

Then we have people w/ timing problems. Some’re from east coast, some’re from west coast and so on. And schedule prioritizing issues such as running w/ friends, teaching their newbies ropes in different dungeons etc. Then preferences to only run w/ people you know, especially places like Arah. In the end, you don’t get that many people joined you. So if Yasha got his 5 and I think he does after last night, meaning others in the same guild with the same timing as Yasha won’t get their 5 for daily running due to limitation of available players in the pool, unless he’s in Yasha group. And it starts getting complicated

I’ll group with anyone in the guild who wants to run Arah—doesn’t have to be with 4 other exclusive people. :-P

I don’t want anyone to get the wrong impression. I don’t NEED to run Arah daily but right now, it’s my flavor of the month—can’t run Arah forever right? :-)

I don’t want to come across as implicating favoritism or anything else. It’s just a problem of limitation of resources which we have no way to know who is available or will be available at certain time. And we can’t tell the person’s location is due to cross-servers display resulting in several times, people returned my pm that they are already in Arah w/ our guild people. Imagine if my pm comes at the time their date w/ Lupi is hottest.

I’ve run Arah with many in the guild so far. I keep trying to group with everybody to get acquainted. But in the end there are a few that I just prefer to group with because they are good people and its always an enjoyable run. I’m not picky but I’m not a speed runner and elistist pretty much turn me off so I tend to not group with them again if I can help it.

The time zone difference is an obstacle. Its just a suggestion but dont give up on whispering people. Imho with around 90 people in the guild your bound to hit it off with 3 or 4 people at least. Also its good to be pro-active. If your waiting for an invite it might not come. And when in a group remember people are evaluating how fun it is to group with you.

Now that its the weekend finally! I think it should make it easier to get more runs in including other paths. Or at least thats what I hope for

Just a reminder: for all the newcomers, if you want to run Arah change your status to lfg

did a couple of arah runs in the weekend, had to reject lots of pm’s because my whole guild is still trying to find the best strategies for those bounties (we are a smallish guild so yeah…) so I was helping out for the most part.

Anyways, i’m thinking about using something like a free blog site to create some sort of sign up sheets and create groups for each day so people just have to pm those they are grouped with. I can probably try do that but I won’t be able to maintain it everyday because sometimes RL gets in the way

I have experience to set up a free website w/ events scheduling. Basically, legitimate members of the guild have to re-apply to the website so they have full access to calendar’s event. In there, they can initiate their own request & time. Members who want to group in that event just need to add their name in that group, and the class they will take w/ them. It’s that easy & nobody has to do anything housekeeping.
But I’m an old fashion guy, so I will only set up the website if Obal or Kumakichi gives me the go.
But it’s also my experience that regardless of the website events are in place, people just do not use it. They all want everything instantly like instant messenger. Heck, human nature. I want it and I want it now.

You should PM Obal or Kumakichi in-game, one or the other is usually always around. If not, I can mention it to Obal or Kuma too when I’m logged on the game. I think it’s a good idea to be able to see when certain members are most free to be running a path. I’ve been helping out a ton of people but sometimes they ask me very late at night and I’m unable to help them. But great idea!

Count me in.

I think this is a good idea but as you implied, it’s tough to stick to scheduling—unexpected circumstances leading to no-show and then the other members having to wait around. And people not wanting to have to go to another website, etc…,.It certainly wouldn’t hurt to try it out and see how it goes. I think it might be good use for relative newcomers to Arah though. Put a time when you want to run and maybe the vets who log on at the same time will then initiate a run.

I definitely like the idea. However sometimes my schedule can be a bit erratic. I’d hate to commit to a time and not be able to make it. Luckily I found a pretty steady group within the guild that I’ve been running with, including you SkyChef.

Maybe if there were something similar to the gw2lfg format, that lists people ready to go now “I want it and I want it now!”. Setting my icon to lfg doesn’t necessarily work all the time because while I’m waiting for people to run Arah, I might do something in a group. I’m willing to try whatever you come up with though. I plan on getting them tokens indefinitely.

That sounds like it defeats the purpose of not using gw2lfg, but I like using people from the guild as they’ve all basically consented that they aren’t elitist jerks simply by joining the guild. Everyone so far has been very affable. Sometimes someone goofs up a little, I hate when a group falls apart after this because someone is way too upset about it. I’ve had this experience with gw2lfg a couple times and it’s very annoying because we could easily just pick up where we left off and get it done. But that one person just needs to be a jerk and pull the team apart.

We can still use GW2LFG but said specifically that this is for this guild only. No one said we cannot use GW2LFG for a specific group.

Yeah, I’m not saying we can’t use gw2lfg. Just that this guild was created partly so we don’t have to. I don’t mind using gw2lfg, but I like getting as many from the guild as I can first. Nine times out of ten you still get good people from gw2lfg, but sometimes there’s just a bad apple.

That’s not what I’ve trying to say. What I meant is we could use LFG for our group to put in such ads as:

SkyChef Dungeon Arah p3 Level 80 LF2M Members of LupiGuild Only [options]

Possible Options:
Melee’ing Lupi.
[Two] new comers welcomed.
All [class specifier] challenged.

And whoever puts in the ads should screen the applications to make sure that all members aware if there is someone not in our club.

PS: I want to emphasize this because I don’t mind to run w/ your guild or your friends but my priority is running w/ this guild’s members first.

Edited for contents.

Good ideas. I like the suggestions. If you want to try the website SkyChef I’d say go for it but just dont burden yourself with too much is all. Maybe we could explore the GW2LFG option first?

This GW2LFG suggestion is interesting. I like the idea its worth a try. If someone can think of a format for posting it might help if we all sort of used a similar post.

I’ll edit the first post accordingly.

p.s. That looks good SkyChef. I might suggest maybe adding “melee’ing Lup” or “LF1M guild newcomer welcome” Just sort of brainstorming if you have something unique going on.

Great idea. I am always willing to go in groups and help people learn the path, but it’s nice to have someone else that is very familiar with the lupi fight. Especially since I am not the best when he constantly targets me, lol

You should stop bringing that pretty shiny stick to the fight Nova! :-P

It took me no more than 30 min to set up the website.
Members of the club will have access to www.LupiSlayersClub.shivtr.com once you have applied to www.shivtr.com for a free account then re-apply again at our website. That’s the way it works.
I’ve also put an example of how to schedule an event in the event calendar. All suggestions are welcomed. This thread now should returned to its original purpose. And other purposes.

wonderful quick question though, which timezone does the website use? server time?

edit: oh, and I just applied :P

Wukunlin.8461:

Server time but to eliminate confusion, everybody should specify time zone in their own events. In the absent of time zone specification, it’s defaulted to server time (which is PST).

Very cool…. thanks SkyChef!

Chef, great job on the site. If it gains traction, perhaps we could expand it to other dungeons as well. I wouldn’t mind running other dungeons with people from LFG

Just have to say what a great experience being a part of this is. A million thanks to everyone who made (and continues to make) this a game-elevating experience.

Cheers!

@Kumakichi,
Somehow we need to broadcast the new website & its event scheduling to members who rarely show up here.
