RAIDING CHANGES IN THE NEW YEAR

Last nights raid was a bit hard.  We will probably lose of few guildies which is ok it's better if people leave and move onto others guilds if they are unhappy. We reformed and downed the boss successfully with just a few guild members and the rest pugged from real id and the in game lfg. It was a bit of a long night but a great success in the end.  A huge thanks to Alyiana, Ephi, Oak and Smokin' for sticking it out until the early hours of this morning. Please pass along my tanks to your real id mates who came in to help out. We now have a tank, two healers and two dps that have successfully completed the fight and know the key roles.

A few things will be changing in the new year which will help us to communicate and get going with the rest of the raid content. It's important to understand that it is not unusual to be on a progression boss for two or three weeks.  Try to be prepared to stay on these bosses for that amount of time. I know that it is frustrating however, the emotion preceding success is frustration.  The New Year Plans are listed below:

  • Pre-raid Officer Meetings
  • Strict item level requirements 
  • If you aren't meeting the role requirements you maybe asked to sit out fights so someone else can be rotated in. 
  • Change of raid times (7pm Officer Meeting, 7:30 invites out, 8pm first attempt and 11pm finish)
  • Monthly Guild Meetings for people with suggestions.
  • A Separate Casual Raid Team lead by a few officers (rotated) Flexible Times to be discussed
  • Some members of the casual team may want to move up into the progression team
Please have a look at the following boss fights and interesting Ted Talk Featuring WoW.
