/em casts Wootga IV on Lakshmi.

We pwned that BCNM!!! I cant BELIEVE we made it on our FIRST real run! UBER gratz out to all those who where there!! Now to play with my new toy...

17 people, pick-up party, and you won on your first try?

You should be proud of yourselves. Congratulations!

I can see why you thought that, since the OP said this:

But he actually meant that there were 17 people other than himself, i.e. 18 people.
On to other news, congratulations to everyone who did that! That is quite an accomplishment for you all. Enjoy the new earrings! ^^

I think what worked for us the most is that the majority of the group really wasn't expecting us to win. We had plans of going in and fighting it normal, but expected very much so to die since it was the 1st time most of us worked together as a group.
Figured if we died we would plan for another day, but at least going in gave us a much better understanding of the fight and how to work with the rest of the group.

The whole group just kinda clicked, I guess (can't really think of a better word at the momment and still on a high from winning it) cause we went in on the 1st orb (dry run no meds no 2hrs to see how the AAs moved and what not). Go in on the 2nd orb (the real run) and kick total a$$.

Anyway, if you can't tell I'm still quite happy about the accomplishment. It's a huge step towards completing the ZM story.

I see. ^^
Actually, I just saw the number 17 and zoomed in with a post, go me! ^^;




I concur, nothing that bad with pickup parties.

The only reason why I made a mention of the pick-uppiness, is because I've organized several missions myself. In organizing and doing these missions, I've often found that even in a large group of people, certain smaller and closer groups of people tend to work better together through familiarity of one another's playstyles. Not to say that people aren't capable of doing the same in a short period of time, but it's just something I've always felt/observed when doing things.

I myself had quite a trying time getting through Zilart Missions in random JP pickup parties, way back in the day. A few months later, however, while helping some LS members with it... it sure felt alot easier than it did back then.



Sorry to derail the topic. Congrats again, guys, enjoy the earring. I wish I picked the Suppanomimi. </cry>

..theo?

Where did you go dude? I thought you quit, you never said anything to me heh.

Anyway if you do play again look me up.

I left the military so I have been roughin it tryin to get by here in Chicago lol, this weekend i'll try and get back on using one of my buddies connections. Oh btw, I started up a band called Theo!!!! WOOOT!!!

I've now reached 74RDM with enough EXP for two HP deaths, so hopefully I'm high enough level to survive this fight. Now that RDM/NIN has reached its prime, so to speak, I've actually found myself wanting a Suppanomimi pretty desperately ; ;

Hal already knows about this, but just letting people out there know that I'm still game for this if others are. Also, I have a few friends that are 73+ (73PLD, 75DRG, 75DRG, 75DRK, 75BLM&RDM) that aren't specifically interested in doing this, but I'm sure they will come if I ask them to and they're available. These are all friends that I'm planning to have in a CoP static I'm starting in January, so I'm sure they will understand what's at risk and what will be required of them. Just let me know in advance for when/if any of them will be needed.
