I want to beat the great jungle wurm in bloodtide coast but I think we need to be organized to do it and have 3 groups in TS.

So what about starting a schedule of when we will try it?

How about every day at 5pm or 7pm server time? We make 1 serious attempt per day when people get back from work.

If you decide to make a regular thing of it don't forget to put it on the calendar so it shows up in the events widget.

[Levik Greywind]

I'll put in a vote for 5pm server because it's after reset (I'm also east coast). If there's enough people for 7pm server, then it might be better since you might get more west coast people in and still get a good number of east coasters.

I can get my people to show up...50-10 consistently at whatever time we decide. but choosing a time that will maximize potential participation coast to coast seems like a good idea 7 server feels about right.

I totally forgot about the Event section here.

Would you guys be interested in scheduling a couple of practice runs first? Say, one night, we schedule a run just for one of the wurms. And we do this across three nights where we go after a different wurm each night.

Then the next time after, we do maybe two heads at once and practice that way. Etc, etc.

[Donny A]

If you have enough people to do this, which I believe you will. When you do it you should try to separate into three large group one commander for each one and the commander should know the fight for the wurm. I'm good for either time and I do not believe that we need to practice, just do what needs to be done to get it done.

Thursday at 5pm server time?

I might be wrong but I don't think anybody here has the power or influence to gather 150 players on a whim to try the wurm. So lets suggest and agree on a date then we can all try to gather a few players each.

@Donny I agree that we do not need practice if we only have people that are able to read map chat, log/listen on TS and read the dulfy guide before the event. Reality is very far away from it unfortunately...

@Maksyn I'm all in for practice run but when I tried to set up some earlier the number were going down every night and the performance of individual player was also going down. Seemed the motivation was not there for wurm yet. If you set up practice, I will come.

We'll have to focus on getting a core group of people first. Hopefully if we can find people interested in taking it down then it should be easier. Feel free to add me to your friends list in game I'll try to come and help out where I can. If we have some willing to experiment we can also test the numbers to see what the min amount of people we need to achieve certain goals are. Then work on creating core groups for those then all we have to do is pretty much rally a zerg from LA and our guilds when we want to do it.

[Gudradain]

I wonder.

Would creating a guild specifically for people that are interested in downing the world boss every week help to organize such event?

No rep requirement, no participation. just a list of people that love world boss and want to get organized to kill them

We could post the schedule for the bosses here every week

[Levik Greywind]

like TTS, but for EBAY?

If you do may I suggest calling it "The Pact" [PACT] as it is the entire point of the game is guilds and players coming together as a pact to take things down.

[Donny A]

I agree with Repeata on that point. I think we need to come together more of a community instead of playing like my guild is better than your guild or this guild is going to do this. I'm not sure if everyone knows about the teamspeak. I didn't really know about it until I was in wvw one day. If you do make a guild, which I would like to be part of, you should make it so that everyone knows that it is about helping the server with the world bosses.

[Gudradain]

Well I might just do that then : create a guild.

I thought very long about it (around 5 minutes) and came up with an idea for recruitment so we don't get a lot of useless player will never come to a world boss. Nothing strict just in order to help the guild in the long term.

So what do you think about these conditions :

There is only 3 conditions to join the guild :

1. Participate in 1 world boss event (we only recruit before and after the fight on day of event)
2. Ask for an invite in TS (by voice or TS chat)
3. Have fun!

Reason? I think TS is essential to coordinate people in these events so instead of inviting then having a bunch of people that will never log on TS, we just put it as a requirement to join the guild, so we will never have problem on that side.

Also, all the events should be public as world boss are a server thing. We can simply post the schedule here on Ehmry bay forum.

Finally about the name :

I'm not good with name so the only thing I could come up with was : Emhry Bay World [Boss] (I'm too practical...)

The pact [Pact] is good (if it's not taken already )

Thoughts?

[Levik Greywind]

Since it's more of a guild with a specific purpose for the server a practical name makes sense to me.

[Maksyn]

I have no interest in forming a TTS for the server, but if that's something you guys want to do, best of luck!

[Gudradain]

@Maksyn Thx for the encouragement words and you will be welcome in it of course.

@All In fact, everyone will be welcome in it.

I got no idea how TTS is run but I'm nearly 100% sure I don't want this guild to be run the same way.

The guild only has 2 purposes

- Act as a symbol to attract and motivate the troops
- Give a list of interested people that are able to get organized.

Both of which serve the same goal : make it easier to kill World boss.

There will not be any elitist crap or stupid requirements.

Going to make the guild tonight when I get back from work.

[Levik Greywind]

I'll join in if it means more large bosses being downed on our home server.

[soulless]

If you float me some dates in game I can circulate in guild.  I just would have to plot it with my folks.  Please if we do this make it a series of run...doing one run is just going to be a fail, putting the expectation out there that we will do more then one will not leave people so deflated on the first fail which is more then likely and give the impression that its a learning event.

[Videoboyjb]

I'm more than willing to help out with this stuff (although I might need an in-game message or two since I keep forgetting there is an Event Section Here). However, I agree with Maksyn and have no real desire to create an Ehmry Version of TTS.
