I'll take you up on the offer to look at my UI and keybinds lol. And if you schedule some ED3 classes, let me know - I can solo up to Amby, but I have a hard time with him.... sadtimes.... Really need to pay attention to the events calendar. There a way to get alerts for the calendar?

This. This is what I'm looking for if you'll have me. 

 

I look forward to it!

@NU7TY I'm updating "Average Odds' Saturday Sessions" to be less general and more specific to a boss. 

 

However, if that's not for you, Average Odd's Impromptu Bespoke PvM is always available, just message me in-game, on Discord, or on the forums and we can sort something out.

Haha I may have accidentally tweaked the day on the calendar. I think I fixed it correctly, but just double check! :)

TL;DR Update:

 

1) The Saturday Sessions are now dedicated to Vorago, starting 21:30 game time 18/OCT/2024

 

2) The Saturday Sessions are now scheduled for 2 hours. Joining the session at the start is NOT a commitment to more than the first hour.

 

3) If at all possible, please be ready to start the Saturday Sessions 10 minutes before the scheduled time. That way, I can get the invites out in a timely manner, and we can start the sessions in time to get a full hour. (I'll try to be on time too! 🙂  )

The Saturday Sunday Sessions Events Are On Sundays At 21:30 Game Time For Next Week (17/NOV.2024)


 

For the next two Saturdays, I am being forced to go outside (AGAIN) and do "Things I Enjoy" with "People I Like". I will be unable to get XP Gainz during this time. Please mourn my progress during this period when my human rights are being violated.

 

The good news is that Average Odds' PvM has been moved to Sunday for that week. The events are also two hours long.

The Saturday Sunday Sessions Events Are On Sundays At 20:00 Game Time For This Week And Next Week (01/DEC/2024 & 08/DEC/2024)

 

Next Saturdays, I am being forced to go outside (AGAIN) and do "Things I Enjoy" with "People I Like". I will be unable to get XP Gainz during this time. This week I had a competence bypass.

 

The good news is that Average Odds' PvM has been moved to Sunday. The events are also two hours long.

Average Odds PvM will be taking a break this Saturday (25/JAN/2025).

 

We're back on 01/FEB/2025 for more NM Vorago.

 

___________________________________________

 

 

The Future

 

If all goes according to plan, Average Odds' PvM: Vorago Season will be finishing by/during March and the (occasionally inaccurately named...) Saturday Sessions will change.

 

 

Change 1:

 

The Management of Average Odds PvM have sent a communication from their tropical island where they "supervise" from the deck of their mega yacht: After the end of Vorago Season the intention is to focus on HM Vorago and/or Raids at a more EU friendly time.

 

 

However, this presents a challenge: both of these require the majority of the players to know something of their roles and the boss fight itself, and ideally there would be a core team containing one or two very experienced people, a few people familiar with the boss to some degree, and some people seriously interested in learning roles properly. My intention is to create a consistent Raids/HMVorago team (or core team + extras) who farm this content regularly. This team would have to be comparatively skilled and dedicated: The Above Average Odds PvM Team!

 

The Above Average Odds PvM Team is also aimed at getting into the new Combat Achievements when they are released.

 

 

Change 2:

 

The ethos of Average Odds PvM has always been that anyone can kill any boss.

 

At least whilst the formation of the Above Average Odds PvM Team is in progress the Saturday Sessions will remain 100% open to anyone. After Vorago Season finishes, the Saturday Sessions will be dedicated to casual Solak and/or Vorago kills. Remember that the Saturday Sessions are 2 hours long so we can fit in a good bit of PvM for these longer kill-time bosses.

 

 

 

N.B. learners are encouraged!!

 

 

The Saturday Sessions are good places to learn roles for these bosses/become familiar with mechanics. Dying is encouraged! So please don't feel intimidated or that you will be inconveniencing anyone. The point is to learn PvM, and that involves the occasional rapid teleport to see our good buddy Death. So with that in mind, Average Odds PvM Saturday Sessions are going to get EVEN MORE learner friendly after the end of Vorago Season.

 

Tricky Dickfingers, Average Odds' PvM DPS Director, has got together with The Management in order to release some funds from the "Totally-Not-Filled-With-Money-Of-Dubious-Provenance Swiss Bank Account (TM)", so when Vorago Season ends,  Average Odds PvM Saturday Sessions will provide: 

 

 

1) Free death.

 

Any Clan Member (including Juniors) who dies in an Average Odds PvM Saturday Session will have their death costs covered. This especially applies to newer PvMers, learners, and people dedicated to learning a role.

 

Average Odds PvM does not believe that a few million gp in death costs should discourage someone from PvM.

 

(Tricky Dickfingers asks that those people with a few billion gp in the bank and/or who are very experienced and/or people who die for memes, don't exploit this generosity.)

 

 

2) Gear Support.

 

Any established, full Clan Member who want to attend an Average Odds PvM Saturday Session and who is under-geared for the content can apply for a loan/grant for some relevant gear. All decisions are final and made at the discretion of The Management. of course.

 

This, obviously, comes with some limits! Some of which are:

- Average Odds PvM will not be buying people expensive BiS items, or hundreds of millions of gp worth of gear. However, if people need something like a pair of cinderbane gloves, or help getting T90 necro armour, or a (reasonable!) specific item for perks etc, then don't be afraid to ask.

- Non-clannies and Juniors cannot apply.

- Ideally, applicants will have attended or will be dedicated to attend several Average Odds PvM Saturday Sessions

 

 

3) "PvM for The Less Experienced" Pre-Sessions.

 

Any Clan Member who wants to attend an Average Odds PvM Saturday Session but who wants a bit of coaching before the session can PM me (Discord/Forums for preference) for some basic, learner-friendly advice on anything from UI/Bar setup to boss mechanics.

 

Average Odds PvM does not believe that a perfect gear set up, or specific rotation is necessary to kill any boss in Runescape. Nor does anyone need a complete and complex understanding of boss mechanics and ability interactions to get a few kills and have some fun.

 

 

Every upside comes with a downside, and because humans will human:

 

Anyone caught, or even strongly suspected of, taking advantage of this generosity in a dishonest or malign manner will be kicked and banned from any future Average Odds' PvM event.

No exceptions.

My decision is final and not open to any appeal. These are additional funds/time and are provided over and above any offering from the clan. They are not clan resources.

Whilst I don't expect anyone to behave poorly, disclaimers are necessary, sadly.
