Check your forum profile says its summer time! :)
If you find yourself forced to mercilessly slaughter your teammates because they become infected with some rare mutation, keep in mind that you are only doing your job -
They would do the same for you.

Well, let's just go by what Funcom says the time is. On the launcher, the downtime is scheduled for 17:00 GMT. ;)

You are normally at GMT+0100, with Daylight Saving at GMT+0200, so 19:00 GMT translates to 21:00 local time for you.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours.

Makes sense, but if the rest of the world is also in daylight saving time, it would only be +1 lol... a bit off topic and I wont fully grasp it anyways probably lol...

EDIT.
Google knows, London is not on GMT during summer. I had no idea, boy do I feel stupid lol :p

You can configure your correct time zone and daylight saving setting here: http://www.nine-swords.com/ucp.php?i=174

Unfortunately you'll have to change it together with all your existing clocks, as phpBB is still lacking proper locale support.

For Funcom times, they usually support a link towards a time zone converter web site. They have been known to mess up quite a bit in the past too though.

For this raid, I'd especially like people to focus on phase 2. We've got phase 1 and 3 down. Unlike many other raid groups, we don't have problems with phase 3... as long as we can get to it.

So that means:

* Tanks being aware of being in the right spots to pick up drakes
* Healers helping with tank aggro
* DPS standing out of the way if it helps (I usually stand way back at max range, as I don't need to be closer than 16 meters, and it puts me out of downfall range)
* Stop DPS on the last drake at 50K and any drake still alive when the screen is turning grey for shadow. Grey screen means don't shoot.
* One tank being ready to pick up the lurker again after phase 2.
