Stopped when you guys did, by the way Uni and I were dying at that terror of the golf course picture lol
Ditto Qhue, which is to say healer lfg Silver dungeons.
Problem I have is I don't get much time online during weekdays. Chances are if I'm online I'm either doing dailies or afk
That said, there's a circle that was being advertised last night that is going strictly for Silver completion, both dungeon and adventures. Can provide a little more info (who to talk to) when I get home.
PS - Krassus y u no DataSkape?!

I'm willing to help any of you Stormtalon Dominion - SFA guys with silver dungeons. For some reason I enjoy running them for attunements, I always have. The macro goal of getting people attuned is attractive, I guess.
Anyway, IGN Gumbercules. I can't offer much (just a DPS stalker), but at least it's one more willing person to get the ball rolling.

Most of the silver groups I've seen that need people are healers, so I'm surprised I guess? It definitely can be frustrating to 'learn' the dungeon, then a couple hours later someone has to go (whcih is understandable) and then you have to 'learn' again. That said, a lot of it comes down to just the people in the group. There are folks that've been getting pulled through daily, and it's not like it's a carry - anyone that finishes it even if you go with Voldeth's SUPER SQUAD, you're clearly capable of doing it cause nobody is 4 manning the place, period. It takes a LOT of time and effort if you don't want to just go in with 3 or 4 that have already done it and just finish, and even one bad run can cost you an hour and a half.
I don't think anything has passed anyone by at this point I guess is what I'm saying, realistically it's a SUPER long day to carry even 2-3 people through Swordmaiden. World bosses are INFINITELY easier. People that are saying nobody will help them on those are not putting much effort in - most of them are 2-3 mannable, and you can almost always advertise in appropriate zones and get swarms of lowbie pugs, it helps a lot.

Hit me up if you guys need an Esper (although just DPS right now unfortunately). I'm hoping to catch back up to the crowd but have fallen behind with some RL responsibilities the past couple weeks. So up for running the first adventures with you guys if you have open spots. Same name as here.
The guild is pretty cool people by and large.

Dude the fucking thing is prehistoric. Heard some godzilla music playing in my head when he walked up onto the green like he owned the place.

So, they announced in the stream today that the next dungeon (which should be on the PTR today) is a Protostar Gameshow. There's also another 20-man raid in the pipeline.
They also said they're designing a level 10 teaching dungeon and adding quests to all dungeons so the first time you complete it, you get a really nice reward. Both of those should go a long ways towards encouraging people to learn group content before hitting level 50.
Fortunately, based on the stream today, it sounds like they might've learned from their mistake. The lead dungeon designer said the next key/attunement process will be a lot less demanding. The examples he gave were more along the lines of completing events/quests in The Strain rather than dungeon or faction grinding.

I think there are benefits to the way they set up attunement in Wildstar. It forces you to do a lot of group content, which gives guilds assurances that you at least have some competency. You'd be destined to failure if there were a lot of people in your guild who had just soloed to 50 and wanted to jump into raids immediately. Getting the key to Genetic Archives isn't just sitting on your ass in a bunch of unrelated zones for hours, crossing your fingers, and praying to the RNG gods. It's just that, once you put in all the work to get your key, you want to be able to move forward, which a lengthy attunement process doesn't necessarily lend itself to.

Will be nice to have you back poor Taxt cries at night because you're not around to comfort him.

Warriors have never been the better choice. Engineer and stalker compete for that with engi pulling ahead, warriors are... not there.
I'm not against group content, hell I love it. I just think that as usual this shit ends up with a "good team" of four, bringing in a different guy every run. It was like this for me since the PoJustice trials in EQ and given that I'm not a person that likes to antagonize or criticize too much the "bads" (not that I'm a superstar, mind you) I just avoid the issue entirely. I love games that reduced the size of the guild activity just for this reason alone.

So a nifty new bug hit me this AM where I cannot change my DPS LAS. I can switch to the secondary LAS just fine, but if I try and remove an ability from the primary LAS or swap the points around at all it completely ignores the new settings. Zoned, relogged, etc and nada.

Neither. Queues pop very fast. You won't be waiting for more than 10 minutes in any role you choose. Even DPS don't sit around for long in this game waiting.
Pug groups actually need more competent DPS than anything else imo. Tanks are easy to heal (most of the time healers are healing DPS who steal aggro anyways), healers are a dime a dozen right now but skilled DPS who can actually figure out a way to do decent DPS, INTERRUPT WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO (or even put one on their bars) and stay out of shit are in short supply.
