Oy,
I’m looking for four players who would like to follow me on a fractal trip from October, 23rd to October, 25th.
The idea is to stack on junk food and survival things IRL to farm the hell out of the new fractal levels right when HoT drops. Ideally we’d go to bed when too sleepy to go any further, sleep a reasonable time (7h?) and come back. Starting on Friday the 23rd 1h or 2h after launch (so we have time to familiarise with some new features, do the Guild Hall stuff and all before starting), and running until as late as possible on Sunday night.
We would start with the current meta-team and then adapt our team comp given what we can play and what is needed. Everyone should be currently running 50 daily and know his class and his role in the group given any circumstances.
For that to work out, this is what I would like to see from each one in the team :
- Warrior :
Solo kite Mai Trin
Solo heat room right at Thaumanova’s start
- Thief :
Solo fire phase in Svanir fractal
Know when to run and stealth
Defiance should always be at 0
Stealth strategy at Mai Trin
Shadowtrap at 2-seals on Hammer
- Guard :
Know what to reflect and when to reflect it
Grab with gs#5 on Asura boss and Hammer boss
Good use of aegis buffs
Master of the Shaman Grawl boss
- Ele :
Might stack and usual blasts between fights with s/d/f
Mai Trin with s/d or s/f for blasts
Solo both laser phases in Aeterblades fractal
Clever use of sandstorm, ice bow (constant freeze) and such
I personally am playing an ele main.
- For everyone :
Have a full ascended zerk stuff, including the aquatic weapon. Having another more tanky stuff would be optimal.
Use serious food. Stack as much food in-game than you do IRL for the weekend.
Unlock your fractal masteries first.
Teamspeak/Mumble is mandatory. Being able to speak and understand English is as well.
Having a second class you can currently play at 50 is nice. Including ranger and necro.
Be 20+ years old. No exception.
Be sure to be free your whole weekend. The point of this post is to find people 100% in, so unfortunately it rules you out if you live with your parents (considering you have to eat with them and can’t talk at night) or already have a family of your own. I asked for “holidays” at my student’s job from the 23rd to the 25th.
Be okay with the fact that the whole experience will be streamed by me. I’m a small French streamer and it will be my first time streaming in 100% English on my channel so I don’t think we’ll have lots of viewers, but just so you know.
- What I don’t want :
“I’m the best”. You can be the best player in the world, I don’t want you in the group if you’re kitteny. “Been there, done that” people are the worst, they don’t bother you at first but at one point you notice it and it goes worst and worst until you ragequit.
It’s ok to wipe and make mistakes. I don’t want anyone screaming at someone else in the whole thing. That’s why I want to make sure every member is a good player, so we cut out that “imma teach you noob” crap.
“Anet is kitten” circlejerk. Yeah, that’s why you’ve spent thousands of hours in Tyria and you’re still playing the game today. There will be bugs, it’s a launch. Just cope with it. No one should ever say that kind of thing, criticism is only good when constructive.
Just want to point out : I may seem like a kitten, but most of this is common sense when you’re already 20yo+ and running 50 metazerk daily.
I’m not a speed runner in any way so don’t expect me to know a strat DnT or rT pulled on their last record run. That’s not the point. I’m a regular player that has been running 50 and 40 with Pugs every day for at least 3 to 4 months, including some runs with high-end PvErs that taught me neat tips and tricks, that’s all. If you’re a speed runner and want to join, be prepared to run like a PUG. A smooth PUG 50 run is done in 30min imo, that’s what I want.
The sooner you contact me, either here or in game, the sooner we can start running together to see how it goes 
TL;DR : still looking for a war, a guard, a thief and an ele.
