[hazmick]

This thread can be used to discuss the soon-to-be-created PC NA guild, so as not to clog up the other areas of the forum.

First order of business is a name. Drop any ideas in here or shoot me a message and I'll chuck them all into a strawpoll some time and everyone can vote on it.

Names can include spaces and punctuation but not numbers, and there is a limit of 25 characters.

So far we have:
Chorrolites
Chorrol Friends
StargelsMen
The Chorrol Comrades
The Chorrol Fellowship
Defenders of Chorrol
Knights of Chorrol
Clan Chorrol
The Chorrol Guards
Chorroliers
Blue Oaks
Blue Oak Brigade
Chorrol Corral
The Grey Mares
The Oak and Crosiers
The Chorrol Corsairs
Comfy Chorrol Cornerclub

Remind me of our constraints. I recall that not everyone has ESO+, so some DLC zones are out. I don't have Summerset (but can at least reach the Guildhall, which is a private instance).

We're usually a healer and a bunch of DD's. Should I bring a tank? Neither Laurie nor Cat Man Dhou has much group experience tanking, just slow solo, so if we do that, expect a lot of fumbles. Any of my crew could use Undaunted XP, as nobody's up to the passives yet, so a pledge or two could be good. Even more so if we can pick up a monster helm.

[Acadian]

The non-DLC pledges that day are Spindleclutch 1 and City of Ash 1. Both are among the easier pledges.

I have all DLC/Chapters.

Buffy can serve as primary healer as a templar, but she can also show up as a magsorc and serve as dps/backup heals if someone else would like to try their hand as our healer.

Britta (mALX) is a main tank of solid skill and experience but I know that mALX can alternatively bring a dps if someone else wants to tank. Like Buffy, Britta is sensitive to not hogging a role if someone else would like to try their hand or simply practice that role.

I've loved the times our guild has been able to try out some of the easier pledges together but our challenge with pledges is that they are built around 4 players and our guild meetings may be attended by less or more than 4. It has worked out before sometimes when we had a perfect foursome but even then, precludes any late shows from joining us in progress. We could consider two simultaneous teams of 3 or 4 each but that could end up being a bit dependent upon our depth in healing and tanking.

Next guild meeting is this Friday (Feb 1). Put on your creative hats and post any ideas for anything we might want to do.

Unfortunately Khajiit will be definitely be unable to attend. Sorry

90% chance I'll have to miss out, too.

I would like to take one of my babies out for either a world boss run or a skyshard run = something like that. Because my babies can't do those types of things solo; so it would be nice to have us do those things as a group for our younger members = just a suggestion.

We could always do the daily Solo Undaunted Pledges and by each of us taking one pledge at a time and sharing it = cover a lot of Undaunted skill line increases with those; and we could do them as a huge group if needed since there is no limits on groups size for the Solo dailies. Each of them gives 10 Undaunted skill points; and if we each pull one quest and share it that can add up very quickly. I've done as many as 12 in one day with a group of friends before; so it really builds up your Undaunted fast.

Another thing we could consider is anyone wanting to bring a new character up through the Fighters Guild skill lines to get the Dawnbreaker = going to a dungeon with undead that respawn rapidly. As a large group we can even bring our babies in and raise them up through the Fighters Guild Skill line very quickly.

I agree with Acadian on not doing the veteran Undaunted pledges as our group meet; because last time the guild did the Pledges for a meet; the latecomers to the meet were excluded from participating.

And any of our members can get together whenever they want to throughout the (months) to do the Pledges. Khajiit and I have done them together with a friend of mine and a pug; so has Acadian and Gosse; Haute and Bear; etc).

We actually could start a weekly sign up sheet for doing the Pledges; see if we can get 4 of us together to do them several times each week; that is how the other guilds I'm a member of do it.

I have a Tank for doing Pledges (and Trials). If you are going for helmets/veteran level = she is experienced in veteran level Pledges; but 99% of the time has been with groups that (at least the Leader knew the boss mechanics and strategies to counter them). In veteran level; you can't DPS your way past the bosses; you have to study your opponents; so it is best to have a group where at least one person has and can give the tricks to get past them.

Khajiit and I got stuck at one boss with a group that not one of us had been in that dungeon before = none of us knew how to pass that boss. It was just one frustrating wipe after another to the point I was ready to just go home; we thought we'd never get past it till the pug got on his phone and googled the boss. It wasn't the only time that happened. It really makes a huge difference to have an experienced Leader for your group; but it is crucial in some of the veteran level dungeons. (example: Mazzatun).

It is very early to start taking donations for the 3 crafting sets (12 tables) that will be coming out in June with Elsweyr; but today Ghastley kicked off the grind for crafting stations by donating three full stations/tables! With the vouchers I have saved up; that gives us our first full set plus 2 tables = a really great start since we have five months to come up with the balance! Awesome! Thanks Ghastley!!!

[Acadian]

What a pleasant surprise, mALX! I know you are already planning the next round of tables, lol. Way to go, ghastley! How wonderfully generous.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Nice Ghastley! Well done!!

[Acadian]

Sorry it looks like a couple folks won't be able to make it.

I quite like mALX’s idea about undaunted daily delves. They are fast, easy and provide reliable progress in the undaunted skill line. We could group up, do someone’s daily delve, turn it in, someone else gets one, wash, rinse and repeat several times. Buffy (all versions) is max undaunted so she’d be happy to make sure we can easily get to any/all of Bolgrul’s 15 random delves as she has all the nearby appropriate wayshrines.

[ghastley]

If we're doing Undaunted dailies, we could swap characters for another round, if we don't have many players.

I'll probably start off with Floozie, as she'll get some skyshards out of those delves, too. She's my healer-in-training, but at only L36, that's mostly lightning staff for solo. If we do a second round with other characters, I'm not sure who'd be next. We'll decide as we go.

Undaunted delve dailies sounds great. I won't know what's happening at 5 until after 3.

That's a really good idea! Pia is at level 5 in Undaunted; I'll bring her first. (DPS character).

[Grits]

I’m having trouble getting logged in. Go ahead with the adventures, I’ll catch up!

[ghastley]

And we were a group of five Templars (most of the time) Lil/Jerric/Jerric kept getting dropped, maybe for not being Templar?

Floozie got just enough Skyshards to grab all the passives available when she leveled up to 37. A very satisfying run! Thanks to all who helped.

Did the dashing Stefan get any levels?

[mALX]

Pia reached level 6 in Undaunted thanks to the Guild Meet tonight! WOO HOO! The most exciting part of the Guild meet for me was getting to meet Grits and Gosse in the Discord! Urgh, I forgot to take any screenshots of the action in game though. Did anyone remember to get any screenshots?

[Acadian]

I also enjoyed the guild meeting and Buffy had lots of fun. It was great that Gosse used a high level character (who also knows all the wayshrines/delves) and kind of led the group. That freed me up nicely to be on voice with mALX and help her with the text chat box. Our group varied between 4 and 6 and we did roughly half a dozen undaunted delves. And we even nabbed an opportune world boss coming out of one of the delves. Buffy quite enjoyed being with her friends.

[Grits]

I had a great time last night, despite my difficulties. It was awesome to “meet” folks on Discord! Lildereth got to Undaunted 5 from her quest, and the Jerrics have quests to turn in once I’ve retrieved them this morning. Adventuring with friends is tremendous fun. Thank you to all for your help and patience!

[mALX]

WOW! We might actually have all the tables we need before the DLC/Chapter drops in June!!!! Yesterday Grits donated two more full Attunable crafting stations!!! (along with an Awesome supply of mats and several Jewelry Master Writs) Thank you so much Grits!

Added to those Ghastley donated and what vouchers I have, we are already halfway there!!! This is Awesome !!!!
