Open WTOV Raids

[Mazoku]

I love this idea and want to be a part of it but I don't use discord at all. I raid the old way, by text alone and no voices. I show up to random raids without an invitation and get into groups and have no issues following along. I have no interest in google or discord so I avoid both. Would it be possible at all to submit my 3 loots on here and just show up and follow along in text like I always do for all other raids? I've gone to: Fear, Hate, Sky and Kael all on text alone. I feel that we emulate 1999 with the idea of EverQuest but no one but me raids the OLDE way of text alone.

The problem is that we don't always put commands/instructions in chat, and we typically run with low numbers so it's critical everyone understands what to do at any given time for the sake of the raid. We are trying to be as open and inclusive as possible, but it ends up being a pain even when someone on Discord isn't paying attention. Not to mention if I make an exception for one raider, I have to make an exception for all, and suddenly a subset of the raid is in Discord listening and the other isn't. Hopefully you can understand.

The Open WTOV raid for tonight has been cancelled due to only 1 cleric signing up and low interest/sign-up counts. I am planning to host next on a Saturday, July 9th... stay tuned!

Clownbaby's Open WTOV Raid continues this SATURDAY 7/9! Starting at 8:00pm EDT

What are the level requirements?

• Melee should be at least level 55 so you are not getting too chewed up by AE.
• Non-melee should be at least level 55 as well but exceptions may be made based on your class and the needs of the raid.

How do I sign up?

1. If you haven't already, please join the Friends With Benefits (FWB) Discord
2. Follow the prompt and emote with a handshake emoji to the welcome post in the #welcome channel when you join to get permissions to the right channels.
3. In the #wtov-pick-3-submissions channel, the pinned message has a link to a Google sheet that has tabs for what to expect on a WTOV raid (please read if you are new) and the Pick 3 Rules (also posted below for convenience.)
4. Sign up instructions are in the 2nd post in #wtov-pick-3-submissions. Please sign up no later than the day prior to the raid. That morning I will make a decision whether we will be having the raid later that night based on planned attendance.

When/where do I meet?

• If you're non-KOS to CoV: Meet at WTOV exit room at 8pm EDT.
• If the dragons will sodomize you on sight: Wait at TOV entrance for COTH (someone will be logged onto Woosta no later than 7:45pm EDT for COTH.) If you need help getting through SG, you can coordinate that with others in our #wtov channel. If Sontalak is up, I will log in around 7:30pm EDT to harmony people past if needed.
• Try to pre-park or show up early if you can so we get buffed up and do the first pull by 8:30pm.

Where do we communicate during the raid?

Please join the #wtov voice channel. You don't have to talk, but it would be ideal to be able to listen.

What if I have other questions before the raid?

Raid-related questions can be asked in #wtov channel prior to the raid. I will also post in there (and here) if we must cancel due to lack of attendance/missing critical classes no later than the morning of the raid.

Enough with the details, what about the loot?

1) You may pick 3 items for each WTOV raid. Put these in the #pick-3-submissions channel in the FWB Discord. If you need to edit, please do not edit your original post... post a new message with what you are updating.

2) Only one of your 3 can be a chest slot item

3) Only one of your 3 can be legs slot item

4) When an item drops, those who listed it in their Pick 3 are eligible to /random (unless they already won that item from an earlier drop on that raid.) If no one had the item on their pick 3, everyone at the raid will be eligible to /random. The number to use in /random will be set by the raid leader at the time of drop.

5) You may list the same non-BP/legs item in 2 or 3 of your slots -- you get the number of /randoms equal to the slots you have it listed for if it drops (mostly to be used for advantage on last armor piece.)

6) If you already got what you need (or are just feeling generous), we encourage utilizing one or more of your slots to help others that have been participating... you will roll on their behalf if that item drops, if you win, they can loot. This must be specified beforehand in the pick-3 channel for transparency. Only one person can roll on someone's behalf per item (i.e. Player A can pick Chain BP and Player B can pick Chain BP rolling on Player A's behalf. No more players can pick Chain BP to roll on Player A's behalf. I realize we can't enforce this completely, so please be fair and kind to each other and do not overly frustrate anyone trying to equip their character.

7) You must be participating in a positive, meaningful way during the raids (you're going to get called out if you're AFK half the raid, or bringing low level melee that are a detriment because they're getting roasted by AE, etc.)

8) You are free to do what you want with whatever you loot, but if you are selling for MQ you cannot auction during the raid and create a distraction.

Never went/seen one of these but I wish you luck in doing more of them
