I'm not sure if there's any interest in something like this or not, but here goes.

You all have heard of those trust training exercises right? where you fall backward and make no effort save yourself trusting that the person behind you will catch you, well this would hopefully be the WoD equivalent of that. Also it would be something of an exercise in teamwork, as mages will die quick if mob's are left on them and tanks will probably need a good bit of healing as well.

Now, being as most people can pretty much solo everywhere, this is going to take a large number of restrictions to pull off, so ....

* Player crafted equipment only - armour and/or jewelry are fine and no Benson potioned items don't count as player crafted
* Just for completeness, no magic clothing, weapons or skill buffs
* No spell buffs yes this means AR 17 mages and AR 30 (more with shield) tanks
* I'd like to say no mounts, but that would result in 0 participants so we will pass on that*
* No pets/summons - they would take away on the need to rely on other players to keep you alive
* No barding mobs - there isn't any reason to need to trust people if all the mobs are killing each other

So, anyone intreted in attending something like this? Please post a reply if you are, and if we get say 6 or more, we can give it a try.

Oh, and I'm not thinking like Wind or anything like that, probably something along the lines of trolls to start see how that goes.

Assuming there is some interest, I'm thinking Saturday the 20th around 3 EST.

Sounds like a great idea, if I can make it, count me in.

I'll get some equipment ready.

Count me in

It's possible a member of the Atei Clan can make it, since Ohio State will be waxing Bowling Green this weekend.

I have a master smith and a master tailor,if you need any clothes,shields or armour made just let me know.

I'd be into this and I still have my basic gear set aside from the last "naked" hunt that I could augment with some player crafted armor. Just let me know if you need a tank or a mage more.

That's a real good question, probably something close to a 1:1 ratio will work best, I'm not quite sure what everyone is bringing.

Me: Probably Edison (mage), but have no issues with switching to Thomas if we wind up mage heavy or possibly Eldric for better taunting.
Michella: tank
Lyl: I believe tank, not sure
Atei: Unknown
Kale: Unknown

It's looking like a pretty small group, but perhaps we will wind up with a few more.

If its set to this weekend I could attend with a mage, while Joka could be another tank. But then again it needs to be on Friday since both of us will be out of town saturday.

yea i will be there on friday if we can and are henchies allowed

If you need another "tank", I will be more than happy to attend. I got my death taxes paid up finally from the last time and earned a wee bit ahead so I guess I am prepared in that respect.

wow, no buffs. how scary!
Trolls sound good to me!

I have a master smith so I can make Bayn's equipment. I think I have enough materials and if not I'll get more. Does anyone else need anything?


Saturday at 3pm est is good for me.

What about archers? Are there any left on the shard? Can they attend our exercise?

I have an archer as well as a tank and a mage(though I confess I'm still really rusty as a mage so it's not a good idea I use her unless we come up short on mages)

So far Saturday 3pm est seems to work for most intrested people (though that could still change will firm that up later today or early tomorrow) so we will go with that. If it works out well, there could be future similar events.

In hindsight I wish Ida tested greater explosions on my unbuffed mage BEFORE posting this idea that seemed so brilliant when I woke up in the middle of the night. Oh well.

What else.

Right, Archers are fine, making the leather/ringmail/chainmail/plate decision could be a bit rough. Most (if not all) tanks have archery at least at 60, so most will be bringing a bow anyway I assume.

Sorry Joka, I plan on keeping this a no pet event, part of what I'm looking for is to get some practice at relying on other players. So many of us (myself included) get used to soloing and then when some kind of group activity turns up, we keep doing that and it just turns into chaos.

I also have char's that can make leather/plate armour, if anyone is in need of a set of something, let me know, ment to put that in my original post *sighs*.

When I first saw this I was very interested and I wanted to reply but, I also know my weekends are always unpredictable so I wasn't able to. I'm going to go out on a limb and say I will try very hard to be there. It looks very...educational?

I solo almost all the time. I'm not great at working in a group. I need work. Chelsea will be there, regular plate intact and since she's a swordsman, expect no bow. As she would say
"Bow?! Shootin' twigs are for elves."
