Well, I'm trying to come up with our next Grand Adventure/thing we can work on on weeknights, and I've got a couple of ideas...
-Do a runthrough of Prophecies (or MAYBE Factions) with "new" characters. No Xunlai, no skills you wouldn't have access to on a new account. Basically, we play as if we'd just made our first characters. I played a warrior by these rules a while back and it was more fun than I expected. We can do it by the book, or try some variation (Access to PvE Skills/Crafting Storage/Kaineng at 20 or something) if we're not brave enough.
-Titan Quests! Have you done them, Kiwi?
In a similar vein as above, we could try these Prophecies Only/No Heroes or something. Added bonus that these are, individually, quite short and can be done over a few weeknights or one EPIC weekend! Can be combined with the above Adventure into one Grand Voltronture?! Volture? Advolture? Adventron?! YOU DECIDE!
-Dungeons!
Surely we have a few dungeon-crawler characters among us with just a few left to go. Normal Mode? Hard Mode? Naked? Only allowed to use skills with body parts in the picture/only use skills which point to the right?! Everyone gets to make a bar for the person below them in the party list?! SURE!
Any other ideas? Thoughts?
Fun fact: there are a grand total of ZERO yes-or-no questions in this post, unless you're Kiwi.
Second fun fact: unless you're Kiwi, you are not Kiwi.

I vote for Adventron!
Titans quests like the... forge-y... place? Sorrow's Furnace? Or the quests that you get from the lispy dragon by kneeling in Droknar's Forge? I've done SF (I think?) and I've only done one or two of the Titan things.... I think. I don't actually know what I've done. Someone could tell me I haven't done Proph at all and I'd probably believe them.
But seriously, doing Proph without any outside skills? Already done it, suckas. He's called Von Healyourspleen (why yes, I am intentionally leaving out all of the times people with heroes helped me out. Hush >.>). I'd love to do it again, though. o:
I still need just Duncan's Revenge (I've forgotten the real dungeon name) for my first full NM book, I believe. HM has a lot to go but I'd be up for trying any variant for the hell of it.
Fun fact: I am Kiwi!

I wouldn't mind dungeon crawling. Since I'm apparently amassing money in hopes of an item or new armor to spend it on. Well, maybe not new armor---I really have no room. Wait...I'm amassing for no reason.  Wish I could buy a large equipment pack with it.  I'm not sure about a complete run through since I'll be distracted by Bioshock 2 and Dante's Inferno this week. The Titan quests were fun-ish though a bit easy if I recall--? I still need to complete Fissure of Woe on my main account, so I'll throw that in there. |

Also, an unrelated thought that I just had but don't want to make a new thread for:
A Buildmaking-Ineptitude Contest!
We scrim 4v4 (one person, three heroes) or 8v8 (two people)... each player gets to decide the other team's build. Basically, each person tries to make the other person's build as TERRIBLE as humanly possible, and then has to try to beat that terrible build with an equally terrible build.
It would amuse me.

Well, I'd like to do something fun and adventure-y, and all of those ideas sound interesting. My biggest concern right now is that GW seems to be broken. Or my computer is broken. I'm not sure. When I try to open it now, I get the initial little screen, then the border comes up like it's opening in a window, but then nothing... just my desktop behind it. I do get the music but no log in screen. I have no idea what's going on with it. D: The only thing I can think of at this point is to uninstall and redownload it.  Playing through with a new character might be fun... no sure what class I'd play though... I've done the Titan quests, but I'd be up for that, too... quick and relatively easy. I still have some dungeons I'd like to finish up on my ranger to finish up her book, both in NM and HM. Just gotta get the darn game running...  |

Do they get to set the bar for the actual player too? Otherwise, it seemed fairly easy to just like...set each character's bar as pure inspiration or pure spawning skills =p So they can't do anything really. |

If we did it, there'd probably be some rules, or we'd all agree to do things like: -Builds must get an elite and a res -No mechanically terrible builds (4 Beastmasters w/o pets etc) And so on... but the idea would be to stand back and laugh as person A tries to figure out how to kill anything with a hammer/axe dervish and person B tries to save everyone with Heal Area and Sprint etc... Basically, make your opponent a ridiculously hard-to-use build or something... lol, Kiwi... remember B-Pend Brambles duels?  Hehehehe... I know what I'd make my opponent run to kill me... |

Well, I say we do a runthrough of FoW (preferably doing something AWESOME) or some dungeons (ALSO AWESOME). We can debate doing "new" characters while we're inevitably waiting for people and stuff!
It's a PERFECT PLAN!
So... votes! Everyone gets as many votes as they want, and everyone MUST VOTE. Lest there be consequences.
-FoW
-Duncan
-Other Dungeons!

Hm, one vote each for FOW and Duncan (did the first quest in the line on my ranger...taking her will be my requirement).

How would you guys feel about doing FoW with a variation on this, where we maybe drop one split SF 'sin for another HB warrior/Splinter Barrage/Hero Monk, and then the two SFs that we have do simultaneous tanking---one is rounding up while the other is tanking for the main group. It could be lots of fun for our Warriors and Necro, and I don't mind tanking. It'd also be RAGING FAST. EDIT: Or, like this, we could use more Splinter Barragers (for some reason, I seem to see us preferring this... hrmmmm...) Or some hybrid. Basically: two SF tanks, one monk, one MoP Necro, four AoE physicals (Hundred Blades or Splinter Barrage)... maybe another monk if we're PANSIES. |

I can definitely run that, and we all know I'm all the monk anyone ever needs.
...Someone please agree with me on that ._.

You do have a monk, yes. We can certainly agree on that. Yes you do. You most certainly yes.
*cough*

Wish I could buy a large equipment pack with it.
