PUG OPERATIONS RULES

 

• 
  
• Tank does the "Ready Checks".
  
• Tank pulls mobs and bosses - no one else unless asked to do so.
  
• Tank pulls the loot on bosses AFTER everyone has been "rez'd".
  
• One unassembled piece per person.
  
• Once you win an unassembled piece, you must select pass on future unassembled piece rolls by clicking "x".
  
• All other loot is treated as Open Rolls - "Need" all you want.
  
• Grab your personal loot and tokens from bosses when the rolls are done.
  

 

 

NEW RULE FOR THIS MARATHON

 

Unlike in previous PUG OPs runs, we will not be waiting for people to fix issues with their characters. Quite a few of my fellow "PUGers" are getting very tired of waiting for an hour and a half for people to fix their characters.

 

Therefore, you must be ready to go when the OPs calls are advertised in GOPs and General Chat on Fleet.

 

 

WHAT WILL BE PROVIDED FOR YOU?

 

• Versatile, Proficiency and Fortitude Stims
  
• Medpacs
  
• Attack, Triage and Shield Adrenals
  

 

 

I apologize in advance for too much information...but sometimes the information is necessary to promote readiness when the OPs calls go out.

 

I look forward to folks joining my fellow "PUGers" this Saturday morning, afternoon and evening. Join us on Fleet and make sure you do a "/cjoin gops" should you have to be somewhere other than Fleet so you don't miss out on group content communications @The Bastion.
