Saturday Morning Static Guild

[Crann]

I am starting a Static Group guild on Orien that will play on Saturday Mornings from 7 A.M. until 10 or 11 A.M. EST (GMT -5)
and possibly once during the week if hours can be agreed upon.

It will abide by the standard static group guidlines such as no zerging...no AH....no outside Pugs with your toon in the group. I would like to focus on newer players, who would like to enjoy the dungeon crawling experience, but have no problem with vets who have patience with us "noobs." Going through a dungeon for the first time, not knowing what is around the next corner, depending on the individual skills of you party....these are the things that excite me the most about this game and I am looking for like minded players. The only condition for membership in this group is a desire to work as a team, and to have fun playing the game. I have VIP status, but it is not neccessary that you do. We will eventually get to all the content, but it will be at a moderate pace, so it will be up to each member to obtain access to that content as we get to it. I would prefer players with mics, as communication is a must when utilizing teamwork, but if you dont have one at the moment, that is ok. I would like to start at level 1, with brand new group-only characters, and run through the island so any new players in the group can experience it, and so we can accumulate the gear you only get there. This will be a lengthy process, going slow and not playing as frequently as some. That being said, it will take a long time.....over a year, to get to end content. Getting to the destination of "end content" is not the focus of this group.....enjoying the journey is.

I will be on tomorrow, Sat Nov 14, at 7 AM as crann on Orien. I would like to get some people together to discuss particulars, and pool ideas for the structure of this new group. I know this is short notice, and it is only the beginning of the proccess of putting together a group. If you can make it, and are interested, throw me a tell in game, and we will get this group started. If you can't make it, or read this later, post your interest and we will make every effort to accomodate all who are interested, even if we have multiple groups running.

[Crann]

This morning witnessed the beginning of The Knights of Saturn on the Orien server. It is a Static group playing primarily on Saturday mornings from 7 A.M. EST until 11 A.M. We are seeking additional members for our group, and envision a guild of 12 that would meet and adventure exclusively with each other, from level 1 to end game. Any having an interest, please reply with a post, or send me a PM. More details will follow. No experience is required, only a willingness to work as a team, and a desire to have fun enjoying this game.

Static Group


The primary benefit of a static group is to build group cohesion and develop effective strategies for overcoming challenging adventures in an effort to reach the endgame. To that end, the following guidelines for ensuring group cohesion will be followed. Also, please realize that this type of group will not advance through the ranks as fast as many are used to. Please be considerate of others and be prepared for a long term commitment.

The following will be the guidlines that the group follows: (+1 to Salome on his tolerating our plagiarism)

Quest Level Selection
1. No zerging. A static group is meant to rely on team work and strategy (not that zerging isn’t a strategy).
2. All quests will be run at the highest level difficulty available to the group.
3. The highest level member sets the floor for which level quests can be run. For example, if the highest level member is level 4 then the lowest level quest that can be run is a level 4.
4. If a quest chain is being run, the last segment of the quest chain determines the level for the entire quest chain, i.e., Tangle Root on hard is a level 8 quest.
5. All members will be initiated into the static group immediately after character creation.
6. All quests will be completed with members from the guild, even Korthos. No PUG’ing and no solo play.
7. Guild members may not purchase hireling contracts or use hirelings. The one exception to this rule will be in the event the healers cannot play, then the use of a cleric hireling is approved.
8. Quests will only be run if there is a quorum. Four players from the guild at a minimum are required to initiate quests.
9. Members of the static group should not miss two consecutive scheduled runs.
10. If a member misses a quest, they are allowed to solo the missed quests only if a quorum cannot be established to make up that quest.
11. All guild members must stay within two levels of one another (i.e., when one guild member is level 6 the lowest level member cannot be below level 4). If more than one guild member drops below the allowed level spread then they may adventure together to get within the spread.
12. Sub-grouping is allowed to ensure that all guild members stay within the level spread. However, once all members of the sub-group are within the level spread then the sub-group should be disbanded.
13. No spoilers. Don’t talk about what is coming up in a quest. You don't have to pretend you've never done a quest but respect that others may not have or that they may have forgotten details. For example, don’t call traps if your character can’t spot them. Don’t ask someone what is behind the next door. Don’t ask what resists you need if you don’t know. You can (and should) warn others if your character spots the trap. You can scout ahead and report to others what lies ahead. You can cast a resist spell on a group-mate prior to an encounter or watch what resists they used. It’s acceptable to ask the caster to put a resist on you when you know what’s coming. Just don’t spoil surprises for others. If they’ve forgotten what elite Kobold Shamans throw, they’ll be reminded soon enough. If you see a group-mate running into certain death, ask them to stop a moment, slow down or let a scout go first. Feel free to discuss details after an encounter as that's how we learn.
14. No PUG’ing. Did I already mention that? Do not group with others outside the static group.
15. The group will not exit and re-enter a quest. We will not re-enter to complete objectives or loot until the instance re-sets. It makes sense that if you can exit the Kobold lair to recoup, so can the Kobolds. If you have to recall from a quest before completion, let the instance reset. In the event that it is necessary for a member to re-enter the quest to save a fellow member, re-entry prior to re-set is acceptable.
16. First and foremost, no twinking. Do not accept ANY gifts from anyone outside of the Static group
17. Guild members can share items that are found in chests.
18. End rewards cannot be traded (They’re bound anyway.)
19. Unwanted items may be sold to vendors or brokers, to can earn gold.
20. Do not use the auction house to buy or sell items. Do not monitor auctions for non static group characters. This helps ensure equipment stays at a moderate level. It restricts money flow into the static group and encourages individual economic strategy.
21. You are allowed to purchase items from Favored House vendors such as House D arrows and the like.
22. Do not purchase items from the DDO store.

Economy: Live off the land


Currently DDO's economy and ease of obtaining magic items and equipment does not accurately reflect the economy of the era in which questing took place. While this is less likely on a new server, there are significant restrictions to what can be legitimately purchased and from whom it can be purchased. These restrictions are intended to maintain character and game balance. It also encourages members to value what their character gains.



All character classes play an essential role in the guild. In general, each member will be fairly well specialized. This specialization should be respected by other group members. For example, if you know someone prefers a crossbow and you just looted the only +2 crossbow in the group, it the best interest to give that person the crossbow. If two people are interested in an item they can role a hundred sided die to determine the winner. The character with the highest role is granted the item. This is at the discretion of the party members who pulls the loot and their preference should be respected. If because, they pulled a +2 crossbow they decide to specialize in that weapon their entitled to do so. If a loot item catches your eye let your interest be know but don'tt be a whiner or hold a grudge. The loot is still just a set of pixels!

Further related to specialization, let the rogue spot and disable the trap. Let the rogue backstab the boss if he or she wants. Let the cleric turn the undead. Let the rocks for brain fighter shield block the door. Open the door for the monk so they don’t lose their ki. Let the Paladin protect the squishy in the back of the group. Let the diplomatic Cleric talk to the NPC. Let the ranger use their bow to take out a few kobolds in the Clan Gnashtooth Prison. You get my drift.

DDO is meant to be a distraction from the real world. Real life happens and group members should be respectful and accepting of that. If you find yourself unable to suspend your anxieties about what is going on in the real world to the extent that you can't immerse yourself in DDO consider taking the day off. Also, we don't mind hearing about getting a big raise or that the date went well but these events should not eclipse the enjoyment of the game or membership in a static group.

Adventure, take one!

Cran yelled over to me that they were gathering. I was drooling over some birch-wood pulp in the market, checking my pockets for coins and didnt actually put together that he was yelling at me to come to the meeting until the "Warforged spare parts" vendor (as we warforged call him), glaring at me impatiently, asked me if it was my friend calling for me over yonder.

"What???" I said, a bit shaken out of my indecision at what I was going to buy.
I looked over and Cran was tapping his foot, arms crossed across his burly dwarven chest, his dwarven beard getting grayer, if that was even possible.

"Ye comin or not ye silly construct?!" he said, one more time.

"Oh, right, right...coming, coming", I said.

The raw materials vendor grimmaced and turned back to his stall, obviously unsatisfied with me not buying anything.

"Funky and tha other are alredy there by hearin's right", said Cran.

We walked, picking up the pace - or rather, me just trying to keep up with Cran - back towards the harbour docks. Got ourselves a ticket to Korthos and sat back on the deck and took a nap.

Back in Korthos a while later we stepped off the platform and spotted the 2, obviously the 2 waiting for our arrival.

"Hi diddle do! My name's Funky 'lo!", said the elf, obviously a very lyrically inclinded one at that.
The one standing next to him smirked, looked up at us and was much more to the point:
"I'm Kwik.", he said, in a deep calm voice.

"So's yer the othars that we be meetin here ta settle this 'ere problem this lil village be havin aye?!", said Cran. Possibly even with a hint of mockery in his voice.
"Aye!!! Thats indeed who we are, master dwarf! Might I ask what kind of music you most enjoy, BY THE WAY???" said Funky the elf, in a very teasing manner.
"Now now", interrupted Kwik calmly, "there will be plenty of time for celebration afterwards. Perhaps we best get moving to the graveyard, where already now the problems are mounting that we were summoned here to solve."

"Yes, that seems logical" I said, still gathering data and analysing all these new companions I had aquired.

And so the 4 adventurers went, up to the village square, passers-by staring at them either in amazement or bewilderment, one could not tell. Up to the graveyard where a woman was standing to greet them, although not in the cheeriest of moods. A quest they were given, to cleanse out the tomb of the Heyton family, where undead and aggressive beasts most recently had begun emerging to attack the villagers.

These companions all heard a calling, through different means every one of them, though in the end all together they banded to form a group that would set forth into the world and confront any and all challenges together. They are dedicated to eachother, though total strangers at the outset, and will never part ways til the end of all things. Some have come by this path by self interest, others by blood oaths that must be fulfilled, still others by contract or promise. Diverse as one could imagine, they will learn to work together, and overcome all obstacles; using only what they find in themselves and their surroundings.
They call themselves the Knights of Saturn, and their exploits are eager to be shared with any others who by some chance might also have a dedication needing fulfillment.

(We are a static guild/group that has just formed, and created all of us new characters to start our adventures together. We have room for a total maximum of 12 players in this static guild, of which 4 spots are currently taken - therefore 8 still remain.)

[FunkyGoose]

Just a quick thing i threw together to commemerate the fonding of the guild!


(Clik it to make it big)

I may make some more of these, following our progress.

[fistfighter]

I would be interested in working with a static group. I am usually available on Saturdays between 7-10 and have 4 different characters just created on Korthos. I will have to refresh my memory but I believe I have a wizard (Zizzle) I started, but I may have already soloed a few missions as well. If it is against the rules, I could always restart him, since I do not think he is even past 1k EXP yet.

[FunkyGoose]

I have made a prelude comic thing for the group


Also a preveiw of #2


Feedback Greatly appreciated btw!

[Mythal]

hahaha funkie, those are so awesome
im more than glad to be your pun for humor....
hmmm...more than glad..."more than glad", that sounds like some kind of psychotic mental state....but ya whatever!

our second installment went quite well id say, we picked up a new member who seems very dedicated.

we would really like to find a good tanky type/dps...that is at least partially paladin. i think that would round out our group incredibly well.


right now our builds are this:
Cran - Dwarf, 12rgr/6ftr/2rog(or was it barb?) - DPSer/twf dwarven axes (I think thats what it was, cran send me PM to remind me again and ill fix it)
Tukv - Warforged, 18wiz/2rog - Arcane utility/dps, traps, stealther, heavy repeater xbow
Kwik - Warforged, 20FvS - Lord of Blades, melee dps, healer/buffer
Kuvay - Elf, 18FvS/2monk - Spell focused dps/CC/OC, TWF melee, backup healer/buffer
Funkie - Elf, 20bard - virtuoso, buffer, CC

As you can see we have healing well covered, offensive casting pretty well covered in both arcane/divine, a good deal of melee based dps, traps, and all sorts of buffs. We lack paladin aura and a good beefy tank type however. If anyone is interested in filling that role, or anything else really (its just I personally would love to see a paladin/fighter or pure paladin, something like that, join us!), post a message, send us a PM, or catch us in-game.

[Crann]

Great work Funky, I love it. Like Mythal said, we had another good session and the group is rounding out nicely. Any that have an interest please PM me and we will more than likely be branching into our 2nd 6 man team.

P.S. Funky, did you have some connectivity issues?.....we are set for another session for this coming friday, and also sat both at 7 est. Anyone interested send a tell in game.

[Bardicwolf]

I would like to try out a static group.. I am normally on Cannith, but I can easily make a new character on Orien. Let me know where to meet and when, and what type of character will round the group out..

I love playing monk/bards/rogues..

I am also an EST person.

Cheers.

Seeing that you need a tank, I have one ready. Sorry I missed last Saturday. I hope this Saturday will be better.

Look for Nadian the human fighter. 7am(ish)

[Purdge]

I would like to join if there is still room. I'm west coast, but the time would not be an issue, but rather an asset since I would be done with playing before my family woke up. Please let me know if there is still room (I hope so) and what is needed to round out the team. I'm most interested in a caster of some kind, but am more interested in rounding out the guild and having fun. I await your reply.

With the addition of you and Zlingerdark, we will be at 7 people. This will work out nicely, you guys plus anyone else that cares to join us can get their toons fleshed out, and run the island stuff this Saturday. The original group will move on to the harbor, and be available to help with character builds. Our goal is to have 12 people in our group, to run 2 - 6 man teams, and to eventually get to the raid content. This number will allow for some diversity among the group, and some cross specialization to ensure we have functionally rounded parties. As Mythal stated, a pally-tank-dps type is needed, but we will have many uses for all types of character, so play what you want. We would ask that you consult the forums for build types, as these toons will be designed for end content, and we would really like to spare you any knd of disapointment later caused by rolling a gimped toon now. Mythal is our resident build expert, so if you do need any advice, he is more than willing to share it.

We are having a Friday morning session this week at the regular time of 7am EST, so anyone interested can contact me in game by sending a tell to "Cran" (one "n") For those that cannot make it Friday, we will see you at the regular time Saturday - 7 AM EST.

Sounds good. The initial research I've done didn't bring back much information, however, I'm starting to work on a 18 pali/2 fight build. I'd start as a human fighter for the two extra feats, then work pali for the next 6 lvls then go fighter lvl 8 then the rest pali. My initial stats/skills/feats I have done so far is shown below. Mythal if you see any problems please let me know, and I would appreciate some advice on enhancements/spells/etc. for the pali side of things.

Can't wait 'til Friday

I'm just coming back to the game since it went F2P (although never really got above level 2 when it was subs-based, heh) and the idea of a static group sounds appealing as I really would like to properly "experience" the dungeons and quests. I'm UK based, so that makes timing a little difficult for some other groups: would I be correct in saying this is meeting around 2 PM to 5 or 6 PM GMT?

This sounds like a great idea! I have wanted to start a rogue, but they work best in a group, so this would be a good opportunity to do that. Saturday morning is perfect for me, but my wife works second shift and will be sleeping, so I will be mostly just listening on the voice chat. I hope that will not be a problem.

I plan on a "pure" halfling rogue.

Should I play "catch up", or join up at the point just after the tutorial, level 1?

We meet at 7 A.M. EST, which is GMT -5. So GMT is 1200. and we generally play until 11, which would be 4 PM.

For those rolling new toons, run through the intro, go to the Harbor, and then come back to Korthos. You will then be ready to start the Village quests with the rest of the new guys.
