Progression/Ilvl/Skill

2014-02-28T18:59:00.001-08:00

Our raid team has been working on Garrosh and some people of the team have convinced themselves that their gear is not up to par and there is only one way to kill him. Everyone has an ilvl of 560+, so there shouldn't be any reason why we can't and this frustrates me. Our team in the past had an open mind on trying encounters slightly different then the most common method and it worked for us. Now a days, people are so closed minded on how to do things and that there is only one and nothing different can be successful. The collapse of our team is imminent, just who will be the first to burst? When it comes to ilvl/gear and it being the only reason in people's minds why we can't kill a certain boss, I say it helps for a faster kill but skill is equally important to success. Skill will help you move and be aware of whats going on and gear helps you perform those tasks....both equally important. So if you suck, you suck....if you have gear and die, get better and don't die....if you have a willingness to learn and try new things, you have potential.

LFR Let Down and Awesomeness

2014-02-04T01:51:00.000-08:00

Tonight I was on one of my alts playing away in lfr doing terrace of endless springs trying to get a new weapon upgrade instead of sporting my heroic weapons. 1st attempt: got the 3rd boss down and then BLAH! Disconnected and can not log back in. Ok fine, it happens. So I reque......2nd attempt:fresh start, going good, then 3rd boss down again....disconnected again! WTF? By this time you can imagine the cursive words coming out at that time. Ok, calmed down and requed. 3rd attempt: 3rd boss down....and Success! No dc. Got to the sha, pew pew and down he goes. Got a new one hander, used my bonus roll and I git another one. Awesome! Two one handers off same boss. Couldn't be more thrilled, what a rollercoaster of moods, at least I was happy in the end.

One versus the Other One

2012-06-22T07:17:00.000-07:00

How come in one realm, someone could be so great but in another realm not so hot? Is it because where they are great, they are surrounded by people they have raided with them for so long that it doesn't matter how good you are? In my opinion I play a pretty decent healer, but I just can't take it when someone says I can't.....it takes almost everything I got to not let them "accidently" die.There are only so many classes that can heal, so I play a 2nd toon of a druid heals in two different realms. Both are even in specs, vary slightly in gear, but apparently can't heal in the other realm.

Douche

2012-05-24T12:34:00.000-07:00

The other night was raid night doing a few heroic ds10 attempts. Nothing is worse in my opinion when I make a comment about what happened on my part healing and someone that is very vocal taking it the wrong way and making it sound like it was my fault that we didn't get it. All I was doing was making a comment about how spread out we were and couldn't reach everyone then his response was...maybe move up and then you can reach all and problem solved. No! That does not solve the problem. I could move all I want and still be out of range of at least one. I am a shammy! If I was a druid, it would make it a bit earlier with the hots, all I have for a hot is riptide and then grace to heal while moving(with a cd of couple mins). A simple solution I mentioned was taking the 3rd dps and putting them with one of the other 2 dps I was watching and moving over to next when theirs were down. What a douche when he can't take a simple suggestion.

Another One Bites The Dust

2012-05-02T13:34:00.000-07:00

Last night our guild got another heroic boss kill for our progression. If blizzard didn't have the nerfs added to the game, I'm not sure if we would have got it down. Some days I wish I wasn't a healer so I wouldn't heal my ass off when we get to heroic bosses. Dps have it easy, pew pew pew pew loot. It's probably not that easy, but a healers job is never easy when it comes to heroic attempts. Any ways...Woot another heroic boss down!

Shh Now Mr. Know It All

2012-04-26T08:32:00.000-07:00

When a group of people come together to go raiding with week after week, year after year, you know how each other plays and what your capable of. What bothers me when someone in the raid group thinks he knows everything and i mean everything. When he starts to speak, he sounds as if everyone else in the group sucks and can't do a simple task such as pressing 1 little button when they are suppose to. Unlike him, I have faith that everyone can do that without an issue. Sometimes I wish and pray that his kids would press his mute button on his vent more often. Sorry but you need to shush and keep your comments to your self if your going to have negative views on the capable people that you have been raiding with.

Give Notice

2012-04-20T10:34:00.000-07:00

A new day, a new healer we must find. Just like near the end of wrath days, the healer leaves and might not come back at all. With only a few hours notice of him leaving, I was left wondering wth!!? To anyone who plays the game and decides or at least thinking about leaving the game for good and you tend to raid in a consistent group....please give them a week to find someone new. Heroic attempts were slightly harder with our regular healer gone and pugging in a new person to just fill the spot.
It can be very frustrating sometimes when someone else just isn't into the game as much as yourself. Damn those people with real lives!

Easy Peasy

2012-04-12T23:05:00.000-07:00

Last night our regular raid team gets set up and goes into DS10 like normally. Things go well, bosses dying and before we knew it, all of them were dead. Well what the heck...Tuesday night with nothing left to do for the week on our mains. We would have done heroic modes, but our full team wasn't with us and we didn't want to do it without all there. Tonight we started to do FL10 and it was going fine, but we didn't get it all finished in time before people had to leave. I suppose tomorrow is the alt run for DS and can make it feel like a challenge again.

Old Guildies

2012-04-09T22:08:00.000-07:00

Today I saw an application submitted by an ex guildie that I haven't seen in forever. I was shocked and amazed that one of our old friends remembers who the hell we are. Some people may not remember all the guilds that they have been in and I didn't think we were that memorable, but i suppose I could be wrong. Our guild does have some different personalities floating around. Maybe it's just that we are just that awesome. Lol or not... Anyways it's always nice to have familiar faces coming back around. See you soon to get rid of that horrible gear you have on.

Here I am

2012-03-15T10:07:00.003-07:00

I've been trying to stay away from the crack lately, but found myself now with another raid team. So instead of focusing only on one of my characters, I have to show up and have 2 prepared. Its not bad if the days were spread out, but this other team raids right before my main team. Back to back. By the time I finish the first raid, I am tired and need a break. I usually have about 5mins to switch characters and take a breath. Whoooossaaa

Break Over

2012-01-06T08:12:00.000-08:00

Holidays are over for most people and time to get back playing the game. I myself only played the nights that we had a raid scheduled and did nothing extra for the last couple weeks and I have to say it was very nice to take a step back and not worry about my valor points. Our guild recently started to put a little more effort into our progression in the nights we do raid and I am very pleased that we have pushed up a bit. Oh how I wish I could have got a new computer for xmas, but I didn't so stuck with this piece of steaming poo for a while longer. Raid finder can be difficult with the huge lag and framrates. I'm a pretty decent player with what I have, but if I had a better system....than I would be awesome lol.

Happy Holidays

2011-12-26T12:11:00.000-08:00

I would like to wish everyone a wonderful happy holidays. I would say Merry Christmas but some may not celebrate it, so happy holidays to the people who don't. Also have a great new years!

Raid Finder

2011-12-14T09:37:00.000-08:00

The new 25 man raid finder has been open for a couple weeks now and anyone who is capable of entering the raid will complete it. It is so easy that it would be impossible if a group has trouble with it. The 384 gear is all right for the people who can't get into normal raids but what about the people who have a terrible computer that can't perform as well as they could in 25 man raids and can't do 10 mans on their own server? I myself do 10mans with my guild but my computer is getting old and can't support the 25man raids. I tried it once hoping that it would be ok and I was wrong, framerates were consistently under 10. If blizzard can do 25's, why can't they do 10 man raid finder for us poor people?I only see one solution for myself at the moment for this problem, but I don't think anyone is just going to send me a new computer. To those who share my issue, good luck finding those 10man raids on your own server, just think, it's better gear anyways.

Dragon Soul and New 5mans

2011-12-06T07:35:00.001-08:00

This past week was the opening of the end of Deathwing. The 5man dungeons story line lead up to the final raid encounter "Dragon Soul". I am so sad to say that when our 10 man raid group went in, just us, the fights looked easy and we shouldn't have any problems with the fights, but for some reason our group was not on the ball this past week. I am so embarrassed to say how many we got, but i can say we did not clear. I think back after the first day it was released and found so many guild have cleared in only a few hours of release and we could not. On the bright side, the 5man dungeons have surprised me and how most of the pug groups i have been in, have not completely sucked. It has been going fairly well(i have had my bad groups, just saying more good than bad).

4.3 Patch

Finally

2011-11-27T08:43:00.001-08:00

My hubby's computer finally came a day ago and it has been running non stop. It's nice it came earlier than expected since I was losing my mind not being able to play when I wanted and play when I could. Now that it has come, we can get back to raiding with our true raid leader and get some organization back in the invites and times. Since its here, time to get back to cracking it again.

Is it here yet?

2011-11-23T07:27:00.001-08:00

Last week I ordered a new computer for my hubby and it hasn't arrived yet. It originally said it wouldn't be here till Dec 2 but it was shipped a couple days ago so I hoping it comes soon. This past week sharing my computer with my hubby has been a pain. The worst feeling is wanting to play the wow crack but he just won't get off. I'm trying to restrain myself and let him play when he gets home, but I'm losing it. I need my crack! Our guilds main raid team is suffering at the hands of the self appointed team raid member. What use to take us 2hrs to do 6/7 in fl has now taken us give or take 3 hours to complete. Everybody is going down hill and I have my hubby to blame, so please computer show up already.

Chuck Norris

2011-11-21T07:41:00.001-08:00

OMG I don't know about other realms, but having a Chuck Norris conversation in trade chat was and is a common thing on mine. In my opinion this isn't as good as "I'm a mage" but comes close. It's hilarious!

2011-11-17T05:58:00.001-08:00

So our first raid without our main raid leader went how I expected it would go, our self appointed team member invited more people than necessary and ended up with a bunch of pugs. Instead of getting our regular 6/7 in one night, we got 4/7 and that was just barely. Normally I help and get the group together, but I just had to see what he would come up with. Terrible of me to sit back and watch the horror but he asks for it. He doesn't consider if an invite on calendar is for a 10man raid and you invited 15people, that in the end if all 15 people accept, who would you pick and choose to come? Usually I take our regular 10 players, invite them, if 1 or more haven't accepted by the last day or two before the raid day, then I find replacements. As I said before consistent players are our strongest point for progression. Tonight we go to finish up FL, pray for me.

Down for Good

2011-11-14T17:26:00.001-08:00

Yesterday was a very sad day. Our main teams raid leader's(my hubby's) computer has broken down for good. For the next couple weeks we have to push on without him leading us and I am not looking forward to it. Mainly for the reason that one of our raiders talks way too much and therefor he now assumes that he is 100% in control now that leader is gone for a bit instead of being a team effort to continue. You might ask, why can't I just give him mine so he can be there? The answer is no, if mine died, he wouldn't share his....cruel but when games are involved, it's either his or mine.

Ability vs Gear

2011-11-10T12:26:00.001-08:00

I was in queue and got into zul grub random. They were on the second boss so I didn't think anything of it at the time, but sometimes its a bad sign. We started the fight and it was going OK but it was going very very very slowly. Rezzing ghosts ran out, people started to die(boss move, not me), and then we wiped. Boss didn't go into enrage phase, well WTF? As I checked the damage done meter, only one player was pulling their weight doing 10k while the three were doing 5k each. No wonder what happen. Just because you are able to queue for these dungeons with a ilvl of 346 doesn't mean you should be doing them. If you have the gear and your dps is low, figure out how to play your character! Even if you don't research it, play with the dummies in the main cities and see how you can raise your dps. It takes the fun out of playing when others expect to be carried by others. The worst thing about my situation was the three that were doing 5k each were from the same guild...

Time

2011-11-07T08:22:00.000-08:00

With time changes now here, guilds and consistent raiding guilds have to alter their times to suit most of their players. What happens when it works for most raiders but a few cannot make that change? Do you say tough luck and replace them or fight over a time that could possibly work with all? I think the raid leader should make every effort to make it work with all and at the same time not to get to frustrated with the battle of time. If the leader makes a suggestion about raid time that works for them, then it has to work or there won't be any leader. In our guild, my hubby is guild master and our main raid leader, basically there isn't much issue with whatever he decides, but always have that one player who can't make it. We found that consistent players are our strong point in progression and would hate to lose that over time. Good luck to those who struggle with the change.

Limited Time

2011-11-02T08:00:00.000-07:00

I'm not by all means a "hardcore" player, but I do enjoying playing when I can with people who feel same way about the game. My guild does what it can to progress with our limited time together and challenge the more dedicated guilds on our realm. With 4-9hours a week to progress can be difficult but no one complains and it is always fun with them. But when 1-2 can't make it and no guildies to fill the spots, pugging is last resort. Generally on our realm, pugs most likely are inexperienced players who haven't even walked through the doors of any raids. It can be tough to find someone capable of pulling their weight and still be successful. I'm sad that we havent got rag down yet....soon though. Any tip are welcome.

Hallows End

2011-10-31T08:35:00.000-07:00

Today is the last day to do Hallows end and get all the tricks and treats that it has to offer. I have to wait another year before I can complete achievements under the Hallow Ends list, but that's ok, I'll be around for another year.
