Story mode Dungeon extravaganza

[MOKKA]

Hello everyone,

Since the thread for Ascalonian Catacombs' Story mode went so well, I figured it might be a good Idea to do the same with the next dungeons as well.
But instead of dedicating this thread to just one dungeon, this one is going to be about all of them, well at least the story modes. My hope is that somehow we might be able to establish somewhat of a regular schedule of Story mode Dungeon-run-events. But since such an Endeavour is a bit more complicated to organize, at least if you don't want to half-arse it, I'm going to use my own dungeon runs (and this thread) as something like a testing ground for it.


Here’s the plan:

Right now my Elementalist is at Level 52, this means I have access to the dungeon in the Human area (this Manor from this guy whose name I can't pronounce) as well as the Sylvary Dungeon (Twilight arbor).

I'm going to attempt the Human-Dungeon on Thursday, September 6th (tomorrow) at 8 p.m. BST/9p.m. CET.

The Sylvari-Dungeon I'm going to attempt on Monday, September 10th at 8 p.m. BST/9 p.m. CET.

Depending on how fast I'm able to progress through the game (I don't rush myself), I will attempt to keep this Thursday/Monday schedule of Dungeon runs until I'm either not the appropriate Level, or I run out of Dungeons.

But this isn't only for me. Anyone can participate. Just tell me what Dungeon you're interested in and tell me your class. You're then going to get compiled into a nice list.
If all goes well, all you have to do then is to show up in front of the dungeon at the appropriate date and form a group. As I said, my intention is to turn this into something like a Guild-wide event, so the more people participate the more I can see how viable of an approach this actually is.

If someone has any suggestions or questions, please feel free to tell me. I might've started this whole mess, but this does not mean I'm eager to do this all by myself.

[Wolfenswan]

Write me up for Sorrow's Embrace.

I've done both Manor and Twilight recently and found them to be easier than AC (we had fairly unbalanced groups for both).

What about exploration mode?

[Screwie]

I think your dates are a bit mixed up?

Thursday's a no-go for me as it's my City of Heroes night (*sobs*) but put me down for the Twilight Arbor on Monday.

I would also be happy to organise a (story mode) visit to Caudecus's Manor on Sunday evening, if there's interest.

[squirrelfanatic]

I'd also be up for Sorrow's Embrace and would even give Explorable Mode for some dungeons another try, even if it means hours of pain and misery.

[President Weasel]

I'd be up for Thursday, September 6th and if it doesn't take too long I'd be tempted to try for the second one too.

[Malfious]

I'm up for CM & TA.. I have no idea where Sorrow's Embrace is. 67 Ele Malfious

Still haven't done Ascalon catacombs either if anyone is interested in that

[MOKKA]

Ok I think I got everyone so far. I put in the correct date for Thursday, I have no Idea how I got it wrong the first time (maybe because I had the keyboard upside-down?).

Theoratically I'm also in for some explorable mode Dungeons, but I think it's best to use a seperate thread for that to avoid confusion.

[squirrelfanatic]

Oh, I forgot to mention that I'll bring my Warrior for the visit in Sorrow's Embrace.

[Screwie]

Awesome. Put these times in your first post, please:

Caudecus's Manor Alternative (September 9th, 8p.m. BST/9p.m. CET)
Screwie (Ele)

[noaru]

Sign me up for the Sunday Caudecus's Manor and the Twilight Arbor run (it is the lvl 50 one right?) with my Guardian.

[President Weasel]

Put me down as a probable for the other two as well, why not?

[Kismet]

I'd like to join you for tonight run of:

Caudecus's Manor (lv. 40) (September 6th, 8p.m. BST/9p.m. CET)

with my ranger (lvl 44+).

[Screwie]

So how did it go? A great success?

Also a reminder, there's still plenty of space left in the planned CM run on Sunday evening!

[noaru]

So how did it go? A great success?

I was around last night and joined them. It went very smoothly. CM is much easier than AC overall and shorter. A few of us had already been there so it helped a lot.

[squirrelfanatic]

CM is much easier than AC overall and shorter.

At least in story mode.

[zanchito]

Anyone for Ascalon Catacombs story mode on sunday afternoon/evening?

[noaru]

At least in story mode.

Indeed. After the experience (see the other thread) I had in AC I know I'm not attempting another explorable mode until at least level 70+.

won't make much of a difference due to being downgraded.


Anyone interested in doing the lvl60 dungeon in story mode tonight?

QFT. That's what I'm betting on. Oh and a good helping of L2P acquired in the meantime
