As per the event in the Guilds Calender, this is set for tomorrow.
There are 3 wings of varying levels, I plan to do the east wing (23-25 level mobs - champs etc). It can be done as a Warband (More the merrier!), so please sign up in game.
There are 3 or more bosses to the wing I understand, as well as the PQ status of the wing itself (only the very final boss is instanced I am led to believe) giving everyone a shot at upgrades for their characters :)
So, please feel free to sign up if you are late 20 or 21 and up in character levels :)

For the official info and some official screen-shots, check http://www.warhammeronline.com/specialfeatures/Gunbad_Overview.php
In case you want to be slightly more aware of what to see in Gunbad, check http://warhammeronline.wikia.com/wiki/Mount_Gunbad
Also, a blog of a Destro PUG venturing inside can be an interesting read for those unfamiliar with the area (the blog just shows the place is awesome and *hard* :) )

And eventually (when we have more people at 30+ ranks) we may get to see 'Ard ta Feed at the bottom of Mount Gunbad. It's a sight that you won't forget :)

7.25 UK - god knows what I was thinking at the time its such a random thing;)
Rather than change it I figured as its a work day for many today, I want to ensure people have enough time to get home, chill, eat and so on before the need to log on hits them.

I hope to come- it looks great

For me this is an excellent time :) The smaller kids go to bed at 9:00 PM local time (that is 7:00 UK), and every second night it is me who reads the bedtime story. Thus I am usually available a quarter past earliest. 25 minutes past is pretty much ideal for me :)
-
Damn - home late, supper etc etc
Sorry I never made this Beo - hope it went good and I'll be there next time

Shame you missed it Jeremiah.
It was great fun. Write up to follow :)
There shall be other runs there - in fact Sunday evening has one set in the guild calendar :)

What a marvelous run last night! :) Running Gunbad in a Warband has its positive and its not so positive impacts.
The positive impact is of course that we actually get to see the dungeon (minus the final bosses) and collect influence to actually have a chance to enter the final chambers. I think the sort of "raid" we did there last night as a guild is very nice for the guild-spirit: We were doing something together and we did rock :)
The not quite so positive impact is that we actually can't enter the lairs of the final bosses as warband (only a party can enter each instance to the final bosses), and thus we'd have to split up at the "gate" to the final lairs (and lats night that would have been impossible, with so many of us being still a bit low-rank (me included), so there would have been wipe-fests at the lair-bosses). Also, in warbands those doing (to the targets or themselves, so DPS classes and tanks protecting the others) lots of damage are the ones recieving the loot (can be detrimental to non-WP healers). Also, there are fewer purplzzz available because the effort per character is much lower in a warband than in a party (unless things have changed a lot from beta, in a 6-man party everybody got purple loot from each PQ in Gunbad).
However, personally I was happy with the run :) If we in the future just could get the run start more on time I would be even more happier. I have to first mention I hate waiting for anything; I am a "I want it now, dammit" -type of a person. I have never quite understood why it is acceptable to make lots of people to wait for a few. Everybody is late sometimes, even I am :o , but I just fail to see the good points if for example 15 people would have to wait 20 minutes for somebody arriving late (that is 15 x 20 = 300 minutes aka 5 hours wasted time). Both in real life and in games :) Not only is the time wasted waiting, but it automatically means the the end-time is further pushed back (and for time-zone challenged people it can mean less time sleeping before having to get to work).
I would much rather see a more "harsh" policy (and I understand that I can be in the minority on this, and I can live with that, just have to mention it to get it off of me, so please forgive me) that the late-comers come when they can and catch up as well as they can *OR* the whole run is postponed if it is obvious a start can't be made on the announced time. However, I have to mention that yesterday the wait wasn't too long (altough I already started to get somewhat impatient, but hey, that is how I am) and the "scout-run" nature of the event made it more acceptable to my draconian mind :)
In all, I got a lot of good vibes from the run. We had excellent team-work (altough I should have saved Sven more often, he just seems to be such a squig-bait :P) and everybody were nice and polite to each other. This guild has some really awesome people, and I am proud to be a member :)

We noticed the same yesterday, all the influence went to the tanks and DPS. Not that I complain :-[ Got a few bags myself. But that's nothing we can do about I think, it's up to Mythic to change the influence calculation and take the healing done in the calculation.
On the bright side, it was a great run. Saw some nice drops fall. Grats to the ppl who won them!
Can't wait until sunday for the next run ;D

I got a nice purple hat- i just cant wear it for a few more levels!
I had good fun and felt the place was a lot better pve experience than the sewers which seemed way more buggy. Also fewer mobs did cleaves or aoes so I was actually able to get into melee range! Also as everyone keeps getting new spells the combat looked really good at times, some great spell affects.
Looking forward to doing it witha smaller group and seeing those instance bosses, but will wait till im 25 for that, until then looking forward to another warband and finishing off some quests.
Hope theres more pve like this in the game.

I also enjoyed the run quite a lot. It got more fun the further in we went, and as healing requirements got steeper. The first wing was quite disheartening, but the second wing was really enjoyable.

I'm also an impatient type of person, and dislike starting things late. Furthermore I dislike being late even more, so I'm sorry for my somewhat tardy arrival last night. Curiously, I did log on before the run to try and let people know that I was going to be ten minutes late, but my chat was borked like it's never been borked before, so gawd only knows what happened there.

Absolutely, but it's not so much that healing isn't rewarding enough contribution, rather that there wasn't any healing to do because we essentially outlevelled the content in the first (and on the most part second) wing. Really the main issue was the fact that there was 18 of us :D
I took a couple of screenies:
Chaos thing the poxbearer something or other. I liked his helmet - shiney.

Yeah, that was so funny. When Beo went: It's so cool that the gobbo shamans make it rain all the time ;D [spell]9240[/spell]

Yeah, on the screenie it looks cool, from the side. But I can tell you that from my (Lellebel) point of view, things didnt look so pretty... More something like this:

Not work safe either :o

Don't go to mount gunbad while at work then.
Sorry for any heartattacks I may have caused. Maybe listened to this cd too often: http://www.discogs.com/release/429427 (http://www.discogs.com/release/429427) :-\

lol! that's also the view that I had, so I specifically jogged round a bit to snap that picture.
-
just to prove i'm right, here's another screeny i took few days ago.
