[b]Greetings Guardians![/b]
[i]An exciting new job opportunity has opened up in The Reef. The current prison guards have allowed the inmates to run amok and as the Archon Priest taught us, left them all armed to the teeth!
Apply within...[/i]

[b]Lvl 32[/b]:

[b]Lvl35[/b]:
3-Player Fireteam required
Face Skolas and end him forever
The ultimate Arena Challenge
This sign up Group for PoE will be very organic; growing and accommodating this new activity as we require. We'll focus on organising groups for the three high end activities only.
Initially I propose this to be more a 'hub' for people interested where we can then organise teams of three. In these early stages we won't know how long each will take and therefore how many can be fit into one night. (I choose to ignore Bromniguls ability as any indication of time taken).
[u]Preparation[/u]:
In order to unlock PoE, you must first complete all 5 Story Missions and the subsequently unlocked Strike. This is on a per character basis.
I'll therefore put the first day as 20th on the assumption many of us will complete this on launch. Other than that, for this week I'll let the Group decide. Just say which days you're free and I'll create Fire Teams from there.
As ability and RNG will play a part in how quickly you reach Lvl 33 and then Lvl 34, I'll group people accordingly, looking to mix up where possible. While I don't think it would be fair to have a two man team carry a third in a significantly higher activity, nor do we want people left behind.
These first few days will be fairly ad hoc and over the weeks will solidify organisation moving forwards.

Groups are all updated. Comp has kindly offered to help out. So groups are ready to go tonight!
-
Edited by Gitsmith: 5/24/2015 10:47:57 PMI'm going to have to work tomorrow night unfortunately. So once again, my PoE spot is available. Sorry for the late notice guys.
-
Sorry. I do not think I will be able to make the Monday group.
-
Sorry guys, looks like I'll only be able to jump on Sunday up until middayish now, which I'm guessing is not at all viable for anyone else. Anybody able to take my spot?
-
Just wanted to clarify, I only need one session due to one character. I will fill in on tonight's run, as it is short notice, but any other spots are up for grabs.
-
I can't do Monday evening anymore, as I'm going to be spending the evening watching car smashing madness at the cinema. Is there anybody available to take the spot?
-
Didn't even discover the prison of elders until yesterday, canny good indeed. Now up for graduating from the puny lv 28 variant to the reasonably buff lv 32 variant. If there's any spaces or subs needed for saturday then give us a shout. Mrs is out for the night and I'm loving HOW!
-
Edited by Gitsmith: 5/20/2015 9:17:38 PMI'm working this weekend so all of my PoE spots are up for grabs. I'm free all day and night tomorrow though(Thursday the 21st) if anyone is able to trade...
-
I will be available as a sub for tomorrow (in addition to the Sunday and Monday runs I am already down for). Thanks. I completed the story with my Warlock and have done the level 28 Prison of Elders. So I have now unlocked the 32 version far earlier than advertised. (Egrimal and Stereo did the story as I tagged along).
-
Still just level 27... ☹ I'll try to be online tonight for around 2 hours starting for around 1am. Tomorrow the same. Tuesday all morning and a bit of the afternoon. If anybody is interested in playing add me.
-
I'm interested in any days for the level 32 challenge, Wednesday and onwards. Perhaps it may be best to organise this into sections for levels?
-
Cheers Bio, guess this is going to be all a bit messy timing wise but am looking forward to it and guess it'll work it's self into a system over the next few weeks
-
Bio, can you replace me with SpeckledJim on Saturday evening please. I completely forgot that I'm going to be at a wedding (not my own) so definitely won't be around! Rest of the days I'm still good for though.
-
Thanks bioTECH
-
Cheers!
-
I'll be away when the DLC drops but definitely be looking to hook up for the arena over the weekend - once I've run the new story
-
I'm available Wednesday night and most of Sunday so far. Hopefully will have the time Tuesday to get through everything that's needed to open PoE.
-
I'm free Wednesday, Friday, as well as the Weekend. Would love to die with Neppers, because he insulted the superior Hunter jump. We even get an exotic that turns double-jump into triple-jump, how overpowered is that?
-
I have a fireteam of EG'ers lined up already, but if anyone sees me online and they need a third for some PoE, definitely drop me a message
-
Free all days and all evenings, because I'm so cool that I took a week off. So I'm in for the 32 and 34, on at least two characters (I'll likely slack on the Hunter for a bit because she can't jump)
-
I'll be on over sunday and Monday and will be happy to play some of the new content but have no idea what level i'll be, I'm not going to ram all three guys through the new stuff straight away, but lets see what happens
-
I'm available anytime 19th-22nd. Evening's only 23rd-25th. PSN ID: Stereo-Gremlin
-
I'm free on Wednesday - during the day as well so if anyone is running during the day I'm up for that. Plan on doing all the missions and the like on Tuesday night. Other than that, free on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday well. 32 and 34 for sure for me.
-
Edited by PazJohnMitch: 5/15/2015 10:47:47 AMI would be keen to give the level 32 version a bash. Do not think I will have an eligible character until about the 24th though. Currently I have 3 characters at level 32. Like the Omnigul strike it might just need to be the team leader that has done the story missions? (So you need to have done it for level 28 matchmaking but could possibly be invited into the 32/34 games).
-
Edited by Kernewek: 5/13/2015 3:12:10 PMProbably ain't worth trying it on Tuesday, as the servers are going to be in a proper state so I'll likely just concentrate on the story stuff. So I'll be up either for the Trials or the Prison of Elders on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Monday.
-
I will be around for some of this. Not fussed about days, whatever works.
