Planned Map Runs for 100% Completion

October 24 2012
Ok Guys. As it stands... we'll be meeting at 10 PM EST on Saturday, November 3rd. Here's a breakdown of the times for those that have posted so far. It's completely understandable if you can't make it due to the time differences. We'll have to try to coordinate meetings for different time-zones.

Cleveland - 10 PM EDT
Los Angeles - 7 PM PDT
London - 2 AM GMT
Lansing - 10 PM EDT


Edit: I added a poll. Please select an option if you'd like to participate and if you vote, please post a day and time frame that would work or any suggestions.

I don't know if this has been suggested yet or if it's already done, but I thought it would be a good idea to organize some kind of weekly/daily/monthly runs of certain zones of the map. We can assign certain zones to certain dates or days of the week. (ie. Mondays level 1-10 zones, Tuesday 11-20 and so on or designate a certain day for runs; first Friday of the month 1-20, 2nd 21-40 and so on). We can have a page or post designated to signing up for the specific dates so we can organize parties and help get our guildies to 100% map completion. If this sounds like a good idea... I'm willing to work with others that are comfortable with the zones and would like to organize this. I can create a map of Tyria and split the zones up depending on how we vote on doing it (daily, weekly, monthly) and do whatever I can to help put some order in the completion steps.

This sounds wonderfully fun and gives the guild a chance to do something more with each other...other than waving at each other in the coming & going. I would love to participate is something like this if for no other reason than to be helpful and see guildies I've never seen before.

I'm in!

I have like 55% map completion at the moment would love to finish with the guild. :)

As a group, we can finish the maps a lot faster. I agree with Siafu... it would be fun just to see our guildies coming together =) I have about 70%... Map completion is my focus right now. When we get this idea together it'll be about helping others and doing things as a guild.

Lets rock and roll on this:

Elguin go ahead and create the map with the different zones. (I don't think a vote to do this is necessary..it's a wonderful Idea.)

I'm PST ....I live in CA and any time of day or any day for that matter works for me. So when the day and time gets nailed down I will pencil it in on my calendar and try to make it faithfully.

Make this easy on yourself: it was your (great) idea so pick a day and time frame that works for you. Begin there and start it. If over time there are requests for different days and times then look at your schedule and see if you can add those to your schedule or not, if not I can lead a party around and my partner Posidius can as well. :)

I think it's a great idea. I really don't care what we do.. as long as we start doing something as a guild. So far I have seen VERY LITTLE guild or group events even planned for us. So I am all for anything that brings us together as a team. I will watch for the plan.

Sounds like a plan. I have an appointment with school today... last time this happened I was there for about 6 hours so I'm not sure what time I'll be home.

I was working on the map a bit last night and it seems like we should probably break it all down into 5/6 days. Twice a week might be feasible and necessary to get things done. We will leave the city areas out of it... as for the order in which we complete the zones... We'll have to look into that. I don't know if you all want to finish the map in order of location or by levels so we can include lower levels.

Lets plan for Friday nights at least. Any time after 5pm should be fine. If we want to throw a second day into the week... perhaps Saturday so we won't be cutting into anyones work week.

Anyone interested in being included in the first group... please private message me and include the zones that you haven't completed in the 1-25 range. We can start low.

I forgot to comment... we should also eventually get into some serious WvW. We'll have to see about setting aside times/dates for that down the road. I had a blast last night... even though we were getting creamed, it was still fun! ;p

Once you guys get a time, date and location hammered out I'll try and make sure there's always some guild boosts running while you do these events.

Also we have a few guild consumables (such a Karma banners) which are going unused because, at the current moment in time, only majors or higher can spawn them and to be honest not many of the majors or commanders are all that active at the moment. So I'll try and open them up for you if none of the leadership are around at the time of the event.

I've wanted a scheduled WvW night for a long time but have been put off by the struggles I had when I ran the first WvW event. Without the ability to set up large groups it hinders the organisational aspect of WvW from a guild point of view, unless everybody is on vent and whoever is leading can shout down commands. That being said it is still something we should try and do together more often.

In any case I love the idea of map completion events and even though I've been slowly completing it myself (I'm at 80+% at the moment) I'd love to tag along for the ride if I can.

I'm looking to get our first meet together on Friday or Saturday November 2/3. Friday will have to be later in the EST. Saturday is open. After our first meet, I'm thinking we'll try to meet on Friday or Saturday... probably Saturdays. We'll aim to get maps completed during our runs, but we can also turn this into a once a week meet and greet and just a general adventuring run (DE, Zerg, WvW, etc. etc.)

Excellent... once you have decided on a date and time.. make sure you amend the guild daily message to reflect that so the people that don't log on here can see it IN GAME. Looking forward to finally doing something as a group. This should be FUN!

HAL, I would be more then happy to join you in a WvW event. I have only known of 1 so far. I had stopped logging on here every day because nothing was happening. IF we actually start doing things and planning them for certain days, I'm sure people will start catching on and things will happen. That's the way it is with any game.

If sandy wasn't being so mean knocking my power out, I'd be on tonight... Instead I'm getting to bed early tonight, which I guess isn't that bad lol. I tried my first structured Pvp today And honestly didn't like it too much. I prefer eternal battleground, but it looks like the structured pvp is required for a lot of completion endgame stuff...

That was a plast..Thanks for setting this up. Can't wait to run with you guys again. The guy that joined us from outside the guild wants to know when we are going to do it again as well. He really enjoyed himself too.
