PVE in a PVP world

For the Horde!

2009-11-05T07:04:00.001-08:00

Well in keeping with my policy of only posting when I might have something to post..

Recap of the last 4 months..

Our raid core tells me they are going to a reborn MK under the tag of which was cool at the time...I went with them..friendly and familiar faces..some not quite so friendly but..fresh start for everyone.

I will also state that I am not going to trash anyone here today..yes thats strange:P

We raided for 4 months with Limitless..but the same problems came back.

Why do people need to be dirtbags to people?

Anyway..

The Drama..

Two of the officers in the guild decided we needed a new GM..really?

Farming 25 toc plus 4 10m tocs and 2 togc 10's going each week and we need a new gm?

And I forgot..kick all the socials and people these two didnt like.

Umm no way.

So we decided..

Take our toys and go to a new home..7 of us transfered to a new server..then went horde!

Shoulda done it months ago!

Pug 10m tocg, uld, pugs at 3am lol

For the Horde!

A fork in the road...

2009-06-23T07:57:00.000-07:00

Friends..Raiding..both do not seem to mix all that well..

Monday we went to 25 uld for the first 2 bosses..ok..so we ended up killing FL hardmode..then wiped for a while on XT (which we 1 shot the week before).

So we decided to go finish up Naxx 25..we only had Gluth, Thad and Saph and KT left..

well 3 outta 4 aint bad...wipe on KT much? just a little:(

We couldnt figure out why our mele was just blowing up...after the raid we figured it was because a DK kept dropping DnD on the boss..hiding the red circles of death.

After the raid..

The psts started from the core..

They are tired of the bad raids..

One idea was take the core and merge with Honnors guild and run 10's..i like the idea but why would a 10 man guild take in 20 people lol

The other idea was..

A new guild..running 10 mans only..

Cue the Eric Clapton music..

Because we are the crossroads.

Hand of SalVation

2009-06-13T07:53:00.000-07:00

Good day eveyone..if there is anyone left reading this lol

3 months after the start of SalVation we have grown in to a full fledge raiding raid guild, we have 3 Ulduar 10 grps and a 25 Naxx team..we are about to make the jump to 25 Uld.

The grp as a whole from new members to our vets are very chill..which is great.
The officer core has grown, we have set out some good rules for our members..which we have applied fairly..an example..

If you start a raid with us..you are to stay unless something rl comes up.
We have had 3 times now where people have "had to leave" and then showed up a short time later in arenas or in a pug raid..

When that has happened..it is discussed and the result is usually a gkick.

I am in 2 10 man Ulduar grps..1 tanking 1 dps..Raist is in the progression grp and we are working on mim atm..Lee is in the 2nd grp and we are working on the watchers finally.

I plan to update my blog more ofton now..lol

Grats to Honors for his Ulduar clear and his twisted interview:)
Grats to Dora and Brindal on the birth of their baby lock:)

Talk to you all soon:)

Oh what a night!

2009-02-18T16:43:00.000-08:00

*cue 70's disco music*

Last night the Red heads headed in to 25 man naxx with Daywins guild..

It went fantastic!

1 shot every boss in two wings..only wiped on patchwork and finished the night on Grob..man I hate that boss:P

We took first time naxx peeps..people in blues..healers wearing the wrong class of gear and a few who have never seen a raid before let alone end game (not that naxx is real hard lol)

It was a bit of a home coming if you will..names and voices that I had not ran with in over a year filled the screen and in vent.

It was fun!

Loot was not put to waste..it was free roll and only 2 items were d/e'd

Greens were split between the two guilds..any shards were shared.

It was a very very good night..cant wait for Sunday!

On a side note..

If my blog has hurt you're feelings in any shape or form..

Get over it..I blog for me not for you..don't like it...then GTFO!

I had not updated my blog in a long time..but you gave me a reason to express what was going on..maybe I owe some thanks for that..but I am a big jerk so I will not thank you.

Uldar and more drama

2009-02-17T13:05:00.000-08:00

The info about the raid is out..another 14 bosses and not all og them will hit the ptr..that last part is sweet..lets see how fast the uber raiders that bemoaned wotlk as too easy do when they cant test it 24/7 like the rest of us lol

I was informed last night that people read my blog and used it as a reason to gquit mk..see the mature comment from the changes blog....really? you didnt like my wall o text?

it crit you that hard?

All I can say about that is this..

You brought mk to its knees and then you moved on to another guild..priceless

The funny part is that I have been told that if those that left to avoid the drama that was going on return to mk that you and yours would go back too..so you could see everyone leave again?

I have not gone back to MK as of yet..not sure if I will at this point..but what I do know is that it matters not to me what g tag is under their names.

Cha Cha Changes....

2009-02-14T07:18:00.000-08:00

So it has been a very very long time since I last posted anything..litch is out..I have 2 80's and have cleared every heroic raid except Mayglos..but all has not been well on ole AOS

It started back in December when everyone was trying to get to 80..I took my time with my leveling partner to get to 80..learning new talents and such..and that was after deciding what toon to level first..

Guild drama is never a good thing..but it raised its ugly head again as we drew deeper in to litch king..lack of help..people sticking to their grps..those of us that took our time leveling had to "pug" tanks and heals for instances while the guys that raced to 80 ran heroics and got geared up for naxx..

When I finally hit 80 I noticed just how bad the split in the guild was..as dps with my healer friend we could not find a grp to save our lives..while the other grp of 80's were running with 2 warriors and a dk in the grp..so 3 tanking toons saved to 1 grp..see the problem? they couldnt.

When we started running 25 man naxx when we had enough 80's in the guild those first grp of 80's were hard after the gm to use a loot system of their choice..in BC you could get mkp by donations/gold/mats not so in Wotlk...which say what you will was directed right at my circle of friends..we kept the guild in pots/flasks and mats ..farmed our butts off to ensure we could raid in BC..but the other grp whined because they figured it was an unfair advantadge in the new content so it was nerfed..so we stopped farming for the guild..showed for every raid and just were guildies for the most part.

About a month ago the real drama started when the guilds MT wanted officership back..he was one pre litch but he gquit the night before the major nerf patch to start his own guild for wotlk..then came back when we were back raiding prior to litch arriving...Myself and few of the other officers objected to him being reinstated to ochat due to him leaving...but not only the leaving part but the fact that he tried to take our entire core raiding team with him..that was a slap in the face..after much fighting in ochat about it and me being passed over for the GM role of MK (which btw still do not understand how that happened..not that the new GM was a bad choice..just passing it to someone who only logged on to raid 3 days a week made no sense) he was made "raid leader" the only person with that rank..he had ochat and was handed the reins of our progression..

He and his grp felt as if they had been slapped in the face...which they showed by dropping trains during boss tactics being discussed in vent..very mature
I was tasked with keeping him inline (as a favor to the old gm) which I said I would try..but the first argument with him in ochat he quit the guild..like wtf..and he called me hard to deal with..I called the gm and said wtf..get on and fix it.

As I got my 2nd toon to 80..my tank ..things went down hill fast..

We could not get anyone from naxx grp 1 to run with us this past week..when one of the best geared healers said he would help us they called him a traitor..he ended up not going:(

This week there was no 25 set to my knowledge so we set our 10 man grp for Thursday so we could finally clear it on our alts..thats when the fun really started lol

I log on to find out that not only was there a 25 man..but that people were super upset that we would have the balls to run against a 25 man on the same night..now the person they took their anger out on was my good friend..that pissed me off greatly..but once on I did not get the same treatment...

Why did I end up leaving MK?

The straw that did it for me was a comment from someone I thought was my friend in mk..a fellow officer..someone who I had loaned ton's of gold to and never asked for anything in return..said the following to my friend..please not this may not be the exact words..but the jist..

"You need to put the guild ahead of your personal needs"

Anyone that knows me online..knows that for the past 8-9 months I did nothing but put the guilds needs before my own..that goes double for my dear friend..While people were off getting married and finishing school...doing irl stuff ..we were on dealing with the bullcrap..

"You need to put the guild ahead of your personal needs"

Said the guy who leveled a toon to 70 in secret so he didnt have to raid with us in BC

The guy who would log off 10 mins before a raid and log back on after it was over..

After talking it over with my close friend I had decided that the time had come to go..

I told the guild that was on that I was leaving..didnt saying anything towards anyone just a thanks and good luck...kicked out all my alts and left.

Then something that I sorta knew would happen...others left..not just a few..but a whole bunch of toons were now standing around me in Dalaran with no guild tag..so what to do?

*Red headed step children* was born lol
It seems that my frustrations with how things had been in mk was shared by a majority of players..as I post this there are people who are about to leave..they are just waiting for the next step..

What is the next step?

A new guild is about to form..call it a rebirth of MK..only with a new name..people that had left us over the past 9 months because of the same issues I had are lining up for the new guild..the majority of MK's leaders have left..some have joing red headed..some formed up a small guild on their own.

The new guid forming soon will focus on fun!

BTW.. On a personal note I want to thank Dora and Drew for their support over the 2+ years I was in MK..my leaving was not a shot at them..Lots of <3 for you both and we will stay in touch..hell I want you both to gquit and join us next week.
Trelic..Sorry that you had to read about it on the website and I am pretty sure had you not been busy with school and such you could have helped put this off a while longer..but I have nothing but respect for you and wish you well and good luck this school year.

KK end rant

Reflections on 3.02

2008-10-24T10:45:00.000-07:00

Good day

Long time no new blog:P

Guild news:

The night before 3.02 went live we had 12 players leave MK to start a guild of their own...when that happened we put our action plan in place and removed other members who we felt were bad for morale in the guild.

When we did that..I took the brunt of the hate..which is fine...hate me all you want..but when 80%+ of the members think your an asshat and want you out..and you had treated other members like garbage untill they gquit in the past..it was the right move.

As a follow up to that..the 12 that left all rejoined a few days later LOL

3.02:

Is an awesome patch for the casual's in WoW..like myself..it gives us all the chance to see the content that had eluded us and actually forced us to call off raiding.

Since the patch we have cleared Za on under geared alts..mains and generally been farming gear:)

My mage:
For pvp I really like the burst of arcane..pve in ZA wasnt that great
the new fire spec isnt bad..1200dps in Za overall and 1500 on bosses except Zuljin
Going to try Frost in Za next reset

Lock:
Demon spec blows..was cool for 2 mins then bleh
Affliction isnt bad
Have not done destro yet

My pali...oh my pali
Solo tanked all of kara..love the new changes..ot'd Za
Going to Mt Hyjal Saturday..fun fun

We should have vash/kael and Hyjal cleared before the xp drops which is awesome:)

Honors and his merry band from Dominion cleared BT..Grats to you!

Dottie has taken her 3rd alt..a mage into a dps monster..way to go!!!

New post ftw

2008-05-21T10:46:00.000-07:00

So..

It has been an eventful couple of weeks since I last blogged..

We downed leo..woot Grats to all:)

We lost our Pali tank to Dominion..I wont go in to a longwinded rant about it except to say that he is gone and we shall progress on ward.

Now his leaving caused some anger in the guild ranks and even though he got the ok from our GM to keep his alts in..they were removed by an officer with the support of other officers..which then led to his Irl friend going on a 15 min rant @ said officer...which I give him credit for not booting him on the spot..

But after hearing about it..I booted him..I will always support my fellow officers..esp since I woulda booted him 5 mins in to his ranting at me lol
He thinks it was bs that I booted him..I dont care..nuff said

Tonight I have the pleasure of going to Za with Sgt and Cryaks grp..They say full clear so I am pumped about it!!

Last night we went and 2 shot alar..showing that we are still a raiding guild..we had 6-8 people there whom had never done the fight and had a 3% wipe on the first try..nicely done MK!!

Then we went and wiped 3 times on solarian and called it a night..3 new people..all blew up the raid lol

MEH

Back to raiding

2008-05-06T11:02:00.000-07:00

We are indeed back at it:)

Sunday we went and did the 4 bosses we have on farm..it went well..1 shot Lurker, Hydross and we might as well call Tidewalker a 1 shot..only because I knew Lan was going to die lol..But Tommy did awesome on the real attempt:)
FLK was a little rough..but we got him..Grats to Ted for MT'ing him:)

The hunter that wiped us 3 times on Solarian was not invited LOL

Today is reset day..

Leo here we come..Skipping: Hydross/Lurker..so we will do Tidewalker, FLK and then Leo...sure we could do the first 2..but no one ever bids on the items ..plus when we do gruul/mag later on we can take a non core grp to see those bosses:)

I know only like 3-5 people a day read this..So Hai to you:)

WTF a new post lol

2008-05-02T14:08:00.000-07:00

Some Drama the past week..

Bloodsky stole our raiding ret pally..seen that from 100 miles away when he ended up on their 3v3 team...the only bad part about it was he called us bad in his ap to them..It did make me LOL irl because that guy dies more than I do on trash in 25 mans..

Lontra one of our Locks..and a transfer pitched a fit about us being in the black temple instead of doing farm bosses..Farm bosses are boring as all heck and no one in the raids were spending any mkp for the drops..so lol at farm..I do farm for badges and gold:P

Well..he Gquit after getting in to a spat with Trey:P

So after much thought..we did a set schedule for raids..we started with TK last night and had a mellow night of screwing around we killed Solarian..it wasnt the A team but we had fun..at least I did:)

We are relearning VR Saturday night..and A'lar..its 2x mkp when we kill VR..incentive

I broke 10k gold..and stopped farming lol..im back down to 9k again..respecs and buying junk lol

Dottie and I should be getting our alts their epics this weekend and maybe Ill get Drew one too:)

See you all Saturday for VR orb avoiding fun:)

1/4 Mt Hyjal

2008-04-23T08:15:00.000-07:00

Yes yes..

We zoned in with a core group and downed a T6 boss lol

Cant wait for the 1st boss in BT..we had him to 60% with a non core grp that was there for shits and giggles lol

Grats to Rob and Dottie for their new bracers:)

Grats to everyone on the epic trash drops..love that place lol

2008-04-11T08:07:00.000-07:00

Ello all:)

Our merry band of raiders went back to SSC last night with hopes of killing a new boss:P

Well we are now 4/6 SSC after a 3 shot of FLK:)

He is sooooo easy..almost had him the first try..2nd try a tank got 1 shot ..3rd try was cake:)

Your humble blogger is now 2pc t5 and has gone back to arcane/fire woot:)
Also the first in our guild with 2pc's of T5:)

Grats to Dottie for getting her 1st pc of T5..woot!:) over 2.2k healing now:)

Fireyes got a T5 leg too..grats:)

We finished off the night in Hyjal farming trash..which was fun fun fun:)

Leo Sunday or Monday for 5/6 SSC..woot:)

Grats to all:)

Chaos ..Err..Farm night..err WTF?

2008-04-09T08:07:00.000-07:00

Tuesday is reset day as everyone knows..

I thought the plan was to hit SSC and go for FLK after Hydross/Lurker and Tidewalker..But I was wrong

That caused a few issues as most of the core was at SSC when we were being told it was gruul/mag/then ssc..well WTF..everytime I set something up it gets taken over and people get mad..well I was one of the people pissed last night because we are supposed to be going to SSC not farting around with Mag/Gruul..we can do that on the weekend when we can gear up the non raiders or Hell..let them start there own 25 man and leave us out of it...ok almost done ranting:P

We all protest about Gruul and we say ok to Mag..then we wtfwipe 3 times because of real bad luck..DC's and early clicks and a flame patch on a cube that killed the clicker..So we say fuck this and head to SSC..Then the real trouble starts...

I am one of the last people reinvited to the raid for SSC..when I get in its almost full except for the 2 tanks..but there is major problems with ur set up..WHERE THE HELL ARE THE GOOD PLAYERS FROM THE OTHER RAID?

I was fucking pissed that Rob wasnt in the group..Like REALLY PISSED!!! he just transfers back because he couldnt raid with his other guild and then gets WTFPWN'D from the raid he was just in?
After bitching my face off I tell the leader that im stepping for him..except he has DC'd and isnt online..
Rob..that will NEVER happen to you again or ima random boot someone from the raid to get your spot back.

Lisa is an awesome lady and runs the guild well..she just doesnt like to piss people off..well thats my job and I do it quite well..There will be some unhappy people Thursday and I dont give a shit lol

We did end up getting Hydross/Lurker and Tidewalker down..even though we were all dead..yes a wipe with a boss kill:P

Grats to Scott on now being the little gnome mage of death with his new shoulders from Tidewalker

Last pc of Business for todays Blog..

Tom..You have Class officer sitting here waiting for you..yes we voted you in even though you havent come back yet:P
Plus you are our now best geared tank..hello MT'ing with Ted lol

Im f'ing tired

Look Friday for Leo and FLK kills

Opps LOL

2008-04-04T07:00:00.000-07:00

So last night we rolled in to SSC to do Tidewalker and Leo..

What we ended up with was 1.5 hours of WoW gremlins lol
Our MT for Tidewalker on 3 attempts had the same problem..his bear wouldnt attack..only auto atack..so that and a double DC from our MT and our Murlock tank = fun and frovility lol
so we got everything fixed and had Blankz attack Tidewalker twice to make sure it worked..it did and boom Tidewalker was dead and I got my mage trinket:)

So..we go to do Leo ...

I port my mage back to shat and jump on my lock..wait 15-20 mins to get an invite and a summon while they are clearing trash to Leo..

Turns out we made a wrong turn at Albuquerque and ended up at Fathom Lord LOL

Ok..so I LOL IRL at that..but what ever..we are MK and decide to try him..
We spent 30 mins while everyone read up and watched videos..I contemplated how to get my mage there and off my fire resist lock lol

We did 2 attemps before we called it for the night..It was fun..we are going back tonight to kill him...when it isnt 1230 in the morning and all our est coasters arent falling a sleep lol

Tonight..aiming for 5/6 SSC FTW!!!

The Long awaited new blog ftw

2008-04-03T12:53:00.001-07:00

So..

It has been a long long time since I last did the update...so Here you go:P

Progression...

Doomwalker owned
Solarian owned
Void reavor owned
A'lar owned

We have a strong raid grp now..always extras ready:)

Awaiting the return of Araxe our leet Dps hunter whom transfered to BWL to raid with Tom..Also awaiting the return of Tom..our MT Drew has been itching to play his other toons in 25mans..and Tom has the gear and the skill to step in...maybe even for FLK and in Hyjal and for kael and vash

I have my lock in FR gear..303 unbuffed..need bracers and a pali aura to get over 400..So I am ready for Leo the blind..bring it!!

MK ftw !!!!

The Angry Mage

2008-03-05T09:29:00.000-08:00

From this moment on..

I will be incharge of raid invites...the way it was before

I do not care if I anger players because they cant come...but for the umpteenth time we took folks who have no business being in SSC and the result was 2 wipes and a 10 min 39 sec kill..thats right 39 secs in to enrage on a boss that we usually kill with 2.5 to 3 mins left on the timer:(

What we need is Raydz to transfer back...he can mt and ot with Brindall/Honors and he was at all but one of our progression kills ...WTB Tom back!!!

The other problem...

Why do all our Druids think they are Dottie now? like wtf is that about..our boomkins are resto and one of our drudad tanks Bandarno went resto...I mean come on there is only one Dottie..just like there can only be one Ted and one Drew

So back to Rob the raid leader:(

On a brighter note..Dottie spent some arena points and honor on both Celoria and Super...we ran AB last night and it now takes 4-5 on her at once to kill her on Celoria..cant wait for 2v2 Monday..its going to be crazy lol

Grats to you my dear:)

I am setting up TK solarian attempt for Friday night..if people no show after signing up..ima gkick them

/end blog lol

Been a while....

2008-03-04T11:18:00.000-08:00

Good day all..

Sorry for the long delay on updating the blog:P

Since I last posted..

Tidewalker is Dead (I attended with a fever of 102 and stayed till he died lol)

Doomwalker is Dead...we tried him Sunday but after a 4% wipe we had the horde attacking our healers on the 2nd try..mark of death sucks imo..instant death with in 50 yards of Doomwalker if he kills you..it lasts 15 mins:P

Monday night I threw together a raid that was 32 strong lol..and only 8 healers..they say 16 healers for a 40 man try..we one shot him ..easy easy:P

I went on my lock because of the dots..love the dots
And my lock was #2 on the dps charts LAWL lol

I recruited 5 new members..all who are geared and want to raid..and we added a rogue from another server..attendence shouldnt be an issue..Esp if Tom transfers his ass back..I think some folks quit logging in because he was gone:(

SSC tuesday and TK friday this week..Doomwalker Sunday and Gruul/mag monday..tis the plan:)

Progression is FTW!!!

2008-02-02T11:23:00.000-08:00

As many of you know…or may not know I play a mage on the medium population server of “Altar of Storms” a PVP realm that isn’t very far progressed…we have one guild clearing the Black temple and another one about half way through and a 3rd about to hit the temple very soon

The guild I am in….”Mal Katai” is more like a small dysfunctional happy family than a guild lol:P A few weeks ago they made me Lt commander as the regular Lt is tied up in School for the next while:P

People call us a “Casual guild” but that has changed to “Casual raiding Guild” which is awesome….when we do raid (2-3 nights a week) it is done with a hard core approach and it has netted us 3 progression kills in the month of January….awesome imo

Tonight we embark on another first for our family…Morogrim Tidewalker
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykALHzn0dKg
It should be fun fun

On a side note..

One of our core ot’s and his irl friends transferred servers to a more progressed guild/server….that blows…..I already miss Tom, he was truly a nice guy and great player….I did not know his 2 friends that kinda put a gun to his head and made him transfer…but I hope that he isn’t to sad about us killing Lurker the same day he left….

Take care Tom….You big smelly hooker l o l

Save the Drama for your Momma

2008-01-22T08:09:00.000-08:00

It all started on Saturday night…

A long-term guildie did something he should not have done…at least with out asking first (not asking me...but Lisa should have been asked) and when the other Officers asked about it we were pretty much dismissed and insulted, I can ignore some minor crap so I did and went about my evening, a little later on said guildie brought up the subject again…this time 2 other Officers got involved in the discussion/argument ..it ended with said guildie calling us names and being generally disrespectful.

Sunday morning came and while I was getting ready to go to work one of the other Officers decided to tell me something that did not make me happy, I responded in-kind with a smart ass remark “should we bake him cookies too?”

I then made a board for the fellow Officers expressing my anger and frustration with having someone who doesn’t do anything to help run things telling those that do pull there wait that there are wrong and calling us names to boot:P

Said guildie then proceeds to attack my integrity and even called me incompetent lol
When I log in after work it just grows and grows, I demote all my alts so they cant see o chat , for the sole purpose of not gkicking said guildie, I log on to my main and request it get demoted as well, that causes a crap satorm that I stayed out of for as long as I could…

Then it had to be done…he attacked me again and again …I had taken enough guff from a 15 yr old… “#$%$# has been kicked out of the guild by Raistilan”

I then booted all his alts out as well…

Then one by one….his “clique” g quit

The only one that hurt the guild was another Officer leaving

We will survive…I think we are better off

At least we wont have to listen to him swallowing his mic in vent anymore…or his constant babbling during raids

Now recruiting Warlocks LOL

Friday night raids

2008-01-19T08:02:00.000-08:00

Good day all:)

So..We went back to SSC last night..and WTF PWNED Hydross..1 shot ftw!!

After waiting 1.25 hours to get 25 people:P

I will be pushing the guild to add more healers..another resto druid for sure to help take the stress from Dottie..although she IS THE BEST RESTO ON THE SERVER!!!

We took a resto shammy last night..green gear and all...and he did very well imo..Grats Zach:)..he even got an epic totem from the trash:)

Clark got the epic tanking staff from the trash as well:)

The only problem that I have with our Lurker attempts is that we did not use our maint tank..Ted the tankadin..this isnt to say that Lan did poorly..just Ted is our MT and this will be fixed asap or we move to a different boss..our mele pulled from Lan on every try..that doesnt happen with Ted.

It was a fun night ..everyone had fun..Ted got a great upgrade for him to spend his MKP on..Grats man..you earned it:)

World boss today..or mag..or back to lurker..but either way..our little guild has another farm boss:)

HKM/Gruul/Mag/Hydross ...all free loots now imo:)

See you ingame..
Dont let your meat loaf:P

Hydross the unliving

2008-01-12T08:06:00.000-08:00

Thats right kiddies..

Our first night on Hydross and we killed him..thats right...one night...on the 9th attempt:)

Grats to our team!!! you guys/gals OWN!!!!

There is some bad news though...8 wipes was too many lol..should have been attempt# 4-5 at the most..why did we wipe?...simple...shadow word pain...thats right..a dot kept wiping us:(

except for one wipe was a hot:P

And our favorite dps whore Aerlions wand on #8 lol

I got a new robe (rolled a 100 /owned:P)...which I think will now allow me to leave my spellfire set in the bank..woot!

Tried 2/48/11 fire for this raid..bad idea:P...was pushing 700+ dps but with all the aoe I had to do..mana was an issue ftl:P

I am still pumped about the kill:)

I spent tonnes o gold for the raid...6 primal life/7 primal water/ 6 primal fire..and some other odds and ends..well worth it:)

400+>Boss kill on the first night:)

One last try

2008-01-05T10:10:00.000-08:00

That was it last night..

We had one last shot at Magtheridon last night before we called it for the night...it was after 2am server time..10+ goes at him..best being 27%..that in it self would have a been a "good" night for a new boss...

Guys..

Can we just give it just one last try?

Everyone reached deep into their souls to answer yes...YES WE CAN!!!

After a night of mom jokes...some back luck...some swearing in vent when something went wrong...to "cuppy cakes" being played in vent..

Or team sucked it up and pushed our guild out of T4 content and in to the world of T5 and SSC/The Eye..woot!!

Grats to Dan and Lisa who got their T4 chest, Celoria who got the Head of Gruul..Barasi who recieved Mags Eye..Sneakyfeet whom won an epic with a 3..LOL

Ted..my man you did a fantastic job of tanking Mag like a champ!!!
Everyone did a fantastic job...I am so happy for our guild right now...it has ushered in a new era..we are not a Kara guild any longer..we are a SSC guild now!!!!

Some of the fights in our near future will be:
Hydros, Lurker and A'lar and VR..We have put attempts in on VR and Lurker..but nothing like our team did last night..no whining..no bitching..just attempts..some folks had to go...we had their subs in before anyone got ancy..

All in all..UBER!!!

Put your game face back on..lol

2008-01-04T07:19:00.000-08:00

Greetings all:)

I hope you had a good holiday and spent lots of time with your loved ones..or people you like at the very least lol

I was having a great holiday season untill boxing day when after getting my Alt Lock to 69.5 came down with a wicked sinus infection that knocked me out untill Dec 30th:P (and even that wasnt untill evening:P)
But Me Dottie, trey and Brian all have another 70 now..woot and grats to all:)

I need to gear up my lock..so we ran Kara this week..I managed to get Moroes back piece, boots from opera and a neck piece from Prince..not bad but next week I will put my lock in another group and take my main with Dotties Sp and Treys healbot so that we can gear out Dottie:)

Tonight marks the start of a progression run that hopefully will see the end of Mag..which if he doesnt die tonight we are going to keep going at him untill he is dead..so hopefully it is tonight..then we can maybe hit up Lurker Saturday night...Ideally mag tonight..then starting tuesday net week we can do:
HKM/Gruul/Mag all in one night..then Friday/Sat in SSC..progression raids suck for those who dont like to die..but I play a mage who dies all the time and I will die all night for a month to finally kill a new boss:)

We have the best tank's on the server as far as attitude and drive to progress..Ted, Tom, Drew, Trey in Bear..all will die for the cause..(Reid you arent on the list because I dont know if your coming:P)..I am sure Bloodsky may have better geared tanks..but they should rename their guild BloodDS because all their real good players came from elsewhere:P

I will all my guildies the best of luck tonight and lets give hellfire the 10% buff!!!

Merry Ho Ho

2007-12-24T08:56:00.000-08:00

Tis the season of no raids ..fal la la la la la la la
Lots of farming to get paid ..Fal la la la la la la

Chasing hordies through the blacksmith Fal lallalalala
Stuck in turtle av hell Fal la la la la la la la

Level your alt in record time..Fal lala lala lala la la!!!!!!

Merry Christmas to all

And to all a good night

Reset Day

2007-12-11T11:32:00.000-08:00

So here it is another reset day..

New Kara/Gruul..new arena week

My lock is now 63..wtb 70 by xmas..also got my tailoring to 375:) would love to be raiding with him sooner lol
I wish I could arena with him now imo:P..although 5.5k hp wouldnt last very long.

We 3 shot HKM last night..then 1 shot Gruul
We then missed the bearboss timer by 15-20 secs..crappy:P

Ted got his shield..woot grats!!!

I will be pushing Mag hard untill we kill him..wtb hkm/gruul/mag in one evening
I am pretty sure that is the way to go..It is my fault for taking us to VR and Lurker before we were ready..I still think we can kill those bosses..but the trash in the eye takes to long..and I think getting mag down will help more than t5 shoulders:P

Added Pylar to our 5's team..went 5-7..not bad imo..I am frost now for arenas..they leave me alone now..so I can kill instead of being the first to die:P

Went to Van Halen Friday..Rocking good time!!!

Grats to Dottie on 63 for her sp:)

We lost Faceeraser to a pve server ..I wish him well in his new home:)

Late nights are ftl

2007-12-06T05:48:00.000-08:00

Good day y'all

Another week has gone by..

Gruul/HKM died Sunday
Bear boss/Eagle boss died Monday..

Kara up to Chess on Tuesday...
I would woot that..but there were some problems with the run..
I try to get grps that include someone that is really in need of new gear..but meh..only alts of officers were there:P

Then a mistake took place that I dare say makes me feel terribad for all involved..
Teds shield drops from Nitebane and it accidently gets looted to Lisa..DOH!!!!
If she could have deleted her toon on wow right there I think she would have..I think the GM's are still working on it..I know that Trey was on till 4am waiting to hear from them...Damn Blue and your "Tickets"

Then to make matters worse..
We stay up late Tuesday night because one of the grp wont be on for a few days..
Then he is on Wednesday nite anyway..lack of sleep ftl:(
Then they went and finished Kara..I was in the grp but I was so frustrated that I ported to Shat and said fuck it..not going..I put together a grp every week..I ask people to come..Then I get invited to my grp and see people who wernt in the grp Tuesday while the folks that came and helped get to chess are sitting on the sidelines..pissed me off huge..GRRRR!!!

Grats Scott on getting your Epic training..Good luck Friday night with Heroic Sethikk:P

Mag Tonight!!!

1300 fire dmg ftw

2007-11-29T08:20:00.000-08:00

It has been a while..common theme from MK bloggers the past week lol

We ran Kara last evening with amazing results..

It started off terribad..2 wipes on trash to huntsman...including a wipe on the first pull lol
Once we got that outta our system the real fun started..

1 shot the horse and his master...we then minus baxstab for Ted (dont even wanna know how many flowers you had to buy to get on wow on a Wednesday night lol) march through moreos..

Down Maiden in 2 min 4 secs...I will add here that the DPS we had was prolly one of the best grps ever in a 10 man grp..
MT Ted
OT Trey
Mele Arb
Mele Scott
Mele Drew
Ranged Mike
Caster Myself
Caster omgqqsigh
Healer Dottie
Healer Lisa

Thats right..2 healers..now having said that..Drew was bouncing back and forth from his rogue to his warrior...who is the guild MT..although we had people tanking everything last night lol

The plan..Run through to Curator..

Plans fail imo lol

We WTF PWN the Big bad wolf..and while Lisa is looting..Trey already has 3 mobs pulled back in to the room..lol

It was one long chain pull...it was fast and it was furious..it was so much fun!!!!

So we go bashing through the trash to the side door and decide that we should kill nitebane while we are here..

1 shot that ugly undead beast...sadly..the drop that Ted has wanted does not drop /cry
But he got a dps item..so grats for that:)

We hit the curator trash and bam..Bobs your uncle and Curators down just over 4 mins..he didnt even make it through his 2nd evocate lol
Lisa is robbed of her T4 gloves again /cry

New plan..Shade and chess then we will call it...FAIL lol

We one shot Shade..lol

Head to Chess and well..we stopped and WTF PWN Neitherspite LOL

We are 8 bosses in and doing chess...one shot lol

I hear "we should go kick Princes ass"...so again..plan fails lol

Prince is now dead...I have my Mindblade woot!!! with Sunfire enchant..FUCKING A WOOT!!

20 badges last night..LOL
I got my +49 dmg offhand

With my spellfire gear on...GOTW/int/Pali Buff's wizard oil and Flask..1317 fire dmg LOL

Cant wait to raid now imo lol

Scott got 6 epics last night on his Druid...Ted got his legs with his badges..woot!!!

If I subtract the 15 mins getting ready out front and the 2 stupid wipes..

3 hour Kara run 10 events cleared...20 badges and a great time had by all:)

I think ZA is in trouble tonight LOL

I was a Drudad for one night...

2007-11-21T09:48:00.000-08:00

Last night was a fun fun time..

I had a Kara grp all lined up for Scott to try and get some gear along with a few other alts and a new Lock...Scott couldnt go:P

So..I ran on his druid..I have a drudad..but he is lvl 5 lol..so in to kara I go on a toon I have no idea how to play lol

It was a blast..thank you to the grp for not yelling at me..only died once when we wiped on maiden:P

I got him gloves and a neck pc..woot!!!!

Gah..now I want a drudad:P

One shot FTW!!!..err 2x One shot FTW!!

2007-11-20T13:40:00.000-08:00

Monday started as a farming day..

Mine mine mine:P
Helped Dottie get some rep and a Potion she needed for a new cauldren..woot GRATS!!!!

The only issue with the above runs was a hunter who was holding the account for a "Buddy"..except he claims to have a 70 on another server with 4/5 t5 gear..orly?

This guy couldnt find his ass with both hands and a map..couldnt find Steam vaults..got ganked twice by horde..couldnt find the shattar rep guy..or CE rep guy..after thinking about it..I booted captin ebay from the guild.

We took a dps heavy group in to Gruuls lair last night and wiped the floor with him and the High King...1 shot on both!!!!

Although when I post the screen shot you will see a whole wack of Dead MK lol
We had 1 or 2 guys left alive lol

Going to Kara tonight on my friends druid..lol

*repair bill ftl

51% and a new raid leader shows his stuff

2007-11-16T11:32:00.000-08:00

Greetings..

Raistilan Raids inc had its 2nd attempt on VR last night..

The trash went down smooth..
Even got to exact some revenge on the mage that caused our wipe in HKM lol
We put him on main sheep duty in VR's room..its almost a 100% chance on dying....he died every pull....ok that was mean of me..but I always had the sheep in range for when he died lol

We got VR to 51% ..good work everyone:)

The most important thing for me last night was seeing Ted grab the raid and go with it!!!

Nicely Done my good man!! nicely done indeed!!

I think next week..VR will die

Save the Drama foryour momma

2007-11-15T06:12:00.000-08:00

The last few days have been busy..

Gruul dead Monday..Grats guys!!!
2.3 dropped tuesday...
The bear boss in ZA dead 2nd try..woot!!!
We skipped the 2nd boss and then wiped on the 3rd boss:P
Complete unistall/reinstall of wow Wednesday night..grr 3.25 hours of nothing:P
Level my Lock to 57..woot!
Dottie hit 58 Woot!!! Grats!!

We are starting to do more 25 man content..Void Reaver again tonight
But it would seem that more and more of the guild is unhappy about being left out of the 25 man fun..or the ZA fun...I had enough Wednesday with a guildy who kept QQ'ing on our forums about stuff like:
Leaving green gear wearing players out of raids
The fact that we have "Clicks" who stick together..
So after logging in and reading a long winded complaint email I saved both him and our guild the trouble and removed him..his wife gquit shortly after../sigh

I still dont understand why people think that the guild has to gear them out...not our fricken job..our job to help where we can..but you dont hit 70 and jump on the epic loot train..the last guild I was in "insert crappy guild name here" the GM would keep every drop..even if it was an upgrade...god they suck

Now a few people were pissy about not going to ZA with the old Kara grp 1..
This is the grp I want
Honors/Arb/Drew/Lisa/Dottie/Me/Scott/Clark/Sneaky/Deil/Oslo/Brian/Trey..yes thats more than 10....and Jessie...those are all the members of the Kara clear team prior to alot of people getting in our guild..heck..I dont have Max, Joel or Sam even...grrr
I would also Like to get Brandon/Sevenn and Mowbray in the group....Thats 2 full groups right there for ZA..

But people would rather bitch because they wernt online intime to get an invite for the grp Tuesday..So go with Grp 2..they are all in Kara epics..good tanks/healers..Grrrrr

I am trying to seperate raiding from everyday guild life and trying to set up 3 days a week for 25 mans..instead of the 2 now

More later....maybe

Lest we forget...

In Flanders Fields By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place;
and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

It doesnt matter what country you are from..Please today remember those who gave everything for us to live free.

For me it is my Grandfather William Tuckett who served the people of Canada with pride and spent time as a POW in Japan in WWII.

Gods speed to one and all <3

Raistilan Raids Inc.. Err Progress FTW

2007-11-10T10:07:00.000-08:00

It has been an interesting week..

From attempting Lurker with ass clowns to playing with trash in the Eye...Woot!

Some thoughts for the week..

Gear..

Are people really too lazy to get their own upgrades? Hit level 70 and think..hi guild..replace my crap greens with purps please..I know that every person I consider a friend in this game or have been guildies with had busted their butts to get better gear..example:

Trelic our uber bear/kitty farmed Mechs first boss for hours one night with a few of us..for a tanking back pc..For hours!!!! and we had kara on farm at the time too!!

I had lvl 68 blue shoulders..since level 68..Did I piss and moan when shade didnt give me my shoulders? (ok..well for 5 secs after every kill:P) but I went out and started doing arena...I know have merc shoulders..but it took weeks..

The new 70's dont/wont do that..they seem to think they should get loot because their gear sucks...Grrrr

We killed HKM Friday night (more about this kill in a bit) and the Rogue/Pali token drops..
We do a class roll..Mowbray wins..he has epics..the guy in 2nd has blues..Dan decides to pass to upgrade another player..well people start to say.."Give it to _______ he has green's"
Not in any raid im in..Quote me from vent "He should quit being lazy and get his own upgrades...dont give anyone wearing greens that is lazy"

The green guy got nada

Speaking of the High king..

I am tanking the mage as I do ..our Dps pwns the priest and the other mages /healer come to me and my target..all of the sudden my spell steal doesnt work..I think he is bugged..my healers keep me up..I see his shield spawn..I hit spell steal again..again..nothing...I look at one of the other mages..he has my fucking shield!!!!
9k fireball + 9k fireball = dead Raistilan....raid wipes..wtf

In vent I get asked "Did he resist?"..answer "Nope Aerlion stole my shield" *hear laughter on vent followed by swearing*
I should have lost my mind on him..but I think Trey beat me to it..I said in vent that shit happens but dont let it happen again..

I pst him before the next attempt and was nice..
His response want.."KK I FUCKING GET IT!!"
I replied.."Im sorry?..Did I yell at you?"

No response...He had better watch his manners with me or he will see the bad side of this arc/fire mage ..I am nice..and try to be polite..but when you get rude with me..you will get it back ten fold

Note....This is the same mage who cant read a threat meter and pulled void reaver from the tanks and caused a wipe...Skill>Gear ..You cant decurse stupid../sigh

Going to run 25 man raids every thursday now..

Something hard..to learn the fight..maybe even get a boss kill:)

Its patch day Tuesday..2.3 woot

SSC trash...err Read: Retards and loud mouths

2007-11-06T06:30:00.000-08:00

Last evening started with a whisper from Trelic..

"Want to go help Skill Assessment kill Lurker"..

With that I got my first taste of SSC and the trash mobs..and a boss there...Which was cool..except for from the get go I noticed some rude players..some ass clowns if you will.

We started on the trash..Sevenn,Face,Trelic,Celoria and myself all there representing MK..20% of the raid is good imo:)

After the first trash clear..sevenn gets a Epic crafting thingy (don't remember what they are called lol)
On the next trash pull I hit a fireball for 7.2k..I almost shit when I seen that..that was with out a doubt the highest crit on a FB I have seen with out a boss buff..IE Heroic mech's polarity buff, Curator's evocation..

Trash pull number 5 and Trelic gets an Awesome druid tanking staff..so grats to both you and sevenn:)

We learn the boss...From JX..we do 2 not bad tries..Then on Attempt #3..

Celoria gets stuck under the platform and dies in the scalding water..in vent all you hear is Quickquick and Ekwelity calling her names..repeatedly..over and over again..They get asked to stop by everyone from MK..they persist..*poof* goes Dottie..Followed by Sevenn, Face, and myself..Who needs that crap?
Trelic stays because he got an epic staff and feels obligated..which I am ok with..I believe he spent the rest of the raid flaming the ass clowns for being retards..

They do not down Lurker...not because they failed..but because we killed their raid!!! :)

Word to the wise.. Do not insult/belittle/scream at/curse at someone that is there to help your guild out...If one of our members had done that to someone helping..I would have punted them from the raid..had we stayed..Lurker would have died

JX is a nice enough fellow..but his pug raids are designed to recruit members to his guild..he is the former MT of Different Strokes who in their prime were "the Guild" on our server..now its Cynosure but still..I doubt he will ask me after I /raid quit on him..not that I am looking elsewhere anyway:P

We (MK) can go play in SSC..It wasn't that hard
Our MT's can handle it..Our healers (Cel and Sevenn) topped the healing charts last night..and our Dps is top notch..

Void Reaver Thursday in TK :)

I want Drew and Lisa to know my thoughts are still with you guys in this sad time.

Been a while...err too much drama

2007-11-03T07:42:00.000-07:00

Well...

It has been a week since I updated my little corner of the web..lots of factors..mostly my isp @ home doesnt like this site and being sick most of the week has not allowed me to blog from work:P

Gruul is dead..grats to those in attendence..super job..13th growth no less:)

Been hearing some shit being talked about the officers in the guild that has me seeing red!!!
The officers in the guild have busted their asses for months on end getting our little guild to where it is at..Kara on farm for months now..HKM on farm for a few months...
When people show up to raids..they dont have to pay for pots/elixers/oils/flasks/food...because the officers and a few senior members bust ass farming for the good of the guild..

Having said that...this is what I hear in the last 2 days..

1 "Officers get loot and then it goes to who ever else is there"
2 "there is favortism when it comes to loot among the officers."
3 "The new members dont get any drops"
4 "I heard that I cant run kara because the groups are full"

#1 ...That is soooooooooooo much crap it makes my head hurt..
I have passed on t4 from HKM every fricken week since the first day we killed him...and I was wearing lvl 68 blue shoulders...I watch Lisa pass on loot, Trey, Drew and Celoria all pass on items to give someone wearing a green/blue item an upgrade...everytime..exception..when we killed Gruul..the items went to the main tank and the OT

#2 Again...see number 1 first line..
Tom can agree with me that it is luck of the draw..his first night in Kara he got sooooo much gear it made me sick lol.. I have run kara so much and watched items get DE'd because no one could use them..I waited 4 months to get pants from kara..my buddy scott has waited just as long for his staff and still needs it..Ted is cursed because blizz hates prot pallies...

#3...This one really irks me...Does anyone run instances anymore?
Im sorry but when did it become my job or the guilds job to get you better gear?
It isnt..never has been..never will be..if you are level 70 and wearing greens and think you should get loot because your too fucking lazy to get your own upgrades...then get the fuck outta my guild and dont let the door hit you where the good lord split you..WTF..I had one green trinket the first time I ran kara..everything else was quest/instance blue...and my crafted epics which I busted my ass making..bunch of lazy freeloading SOBS...I am sorry for the foul language..but come on..learn to play the game..you could quest over a week and regear your toon head to toe..not too mention rep items and the a/h

#4 ..well QQ somemore..if you arent on when the groups start..not my problem..I wont make someone step out so you can run Kara..I could ask..I have done that in the past..heck I step out all the time for people to get a shot at loot..but dont ask to start Kara on a sunday/monday night..by that time its been a almost a week..they are down to the final bosses and prolly wont take you to your first Kara on the hardest bosses..no offence but I wouldnt either

There are so many diffrent ways to get gear in this game..Arena/BG's/Quests/Rep/Crafted and the a/h that there is no way you cant be blue from head to toe with some crafted epics or some Bg epics..quit QQing

I think the majority of the bitching is coming from a few new guild members..who are being pushed by a few older members whom either suck/fail at wow or cant ever make raids/dont even ask to go...

I wanted my first blog back to be a happy one..but I feel better about that rant

Real life has caught up to our gm and her hubby..Drew lost his father after a long battle with an incidious cancer that would not go away..my heart goes out to you and your this weekend..

I will prolly try to get a raid going sunday night..depending on whos playing football

oh..one last thing...

WTF is with the fact that I cant get 25 players to sign up for loot reaver ???
We need 4 tanks..
We have : Tom/Ted/Trey/Arb
We need 7 healers
We have : Dottie/Lisa/Seven/Tommy
We need 4 mele
We have: Ryan
We need 10 ranged/caster
We have: Brandon/Mike/Myself/Steve/Bryan/

Can you help fill the spaces? I dont want to pug but I will take friends of friends...no green gear..perfer all epic'd

Thanks for reading..God's speed to you and yours...and set your clocks back

Gruul..and setting up a raid

2007-10-27T09:37:00.000-07:00

We actually went and tried Gruul last night..woot!

We had to 2 shot the High King..my fault..my target resisted my spell steal and I got one shotted and that caused a wipe..:P

ARG...Gruul....did not get him close to dead

During the raid an un-named healer was flapping their gums about our tanks and how we must do it and it started to get on my freaking nerves..we have leet tanks in our guild..overall we have leet healers..BUT if that healer cant keep our tanks alive in Kara and then again in Gruul...they should STFU about how it should be done because their "say" doesnt matter and if they dont like it..GTFO!

I will say that both Tom and Ted did an awsome job...as did our core healers and our dps was top notch..hell I even went 10/48/3 last night...but if people cant stay in their Slam zones and not own our healers...then we will never kill him..ever

We are trying again tonight...WTB all our Locks online

As for progression...

I posted on our guild raid boards a sign up sheet for trying some t5 bosses..starting with Loot Reaver in the eye..it is easier than Gruul and has T5 shoulders and 2 more epics..woot

If this blog pisses you off..

Well then dont be an asshat and you wont feel the /wrath

TTYL

BTW..wtb Honors for Mech this weekend

Warriors, Rogues and Warlocks Oh My!!!

2007-10-26T06:59:00.000-07:00

Good day all:)

Wednesday was "Alt day" for my circle of WoW..Dottie, Scott, Mike, Brian and myself ran Brd on our 50's ...it was fun..we did it ass backwards..but it was fun..I got a set of gloves that were a nice upgrade:)..got 1/2 a level.

Thursday was a very fun night..it started with Dottie and myself helping a friend of hers run Setthik(sp:P) hall in the bone wastes...that was a good run..I respect to 7/51/3 fire for it ..

Full fire is a sweet dps spec...just lose about 2k in mana vs my 47/14 arc spec..I rocked the damage chart..the other mage wasn't even close:P

Then it was PVP time...3v3 featuring Mike, Dottie and myself vs everyone else..

We brought our rating up over a 100 points to finish the night at 1430ish..from the 1308 it was..way to go !!!!

In our wins..We cleaned house..to the point that we would try to get Dottie the killing blow on the last guy..in our defeats...well..warriors, Rogues and warlocks oh my..

Worst fight of the night was a team of 2 locks and a pali..damn..two fel hunters..I spent the entire duration spell locked..and it was game over for me..after we lost to them..we changed strats...kill those damn fel hunters...it works well..its like killing a bm hunters pet..once the pet is dead..so is its master

The other bad team of the night..2 rogues and a pali..I didnt get a spell off lol..just red numbers going up my screen..Dottie is a leet healer drudad (prolly the best on the server) and even she couldn't keep me up with the 2k and 3k crits they were getting on me..if I had no resilience..it would have been worse:P..prolly 4-5k crits lol

Some of the real bad teams...hunter,rogue and pali..that had me lol irl when we fought them..

I get sapped..Pop my trinket and watch the rogue heading for Dottie..AP POM Pyro hits him for 5200..he los my fireblast..but instead of him popping cloak of shadows..he sprints and tries to bandage..while my ignite is ticking him for 1.k LOL..he got 425 hp back lol..pali hits him for a small heal...Arcane missiles hit him for 1.4, 1.1,1.7 dead lol..the pali gave up

Rogue, hunter and druid team..the rogue was by far the worst one EVER!!!..he got behind me while i was attacking the druid..and was hitting me for 100,124,200,600 crit lol..the druid went los so I switched to the hunter..all the while this rogue was hitting me..I was LOL irl..hunter dead..I think Mike sicked big red pig on the rogue and I Ap POM him..hes dead lol
Druid goes bear...In vent I say.."Hello Mr bear..Heres your helping of Arcane missiles"..all I hear is LOL'ng in vent..bear dies:)

The drama for the night ...

Nakedfighter...the master of the Gchat flirt..even on the guys..got a helping of his own medicine from a few guildies..they called him "Snukums"...for about 5 mins..he asked them to stop..they kept going..he gkicked them..they got invited back in...so he kicked all of his alts out..and then gquit...wtf?..WTF?????

Then he quit the 5v5 team.../cry..as much as naked can be a dick...he was an awesome pvp guy and I learned a lot from him about arena

So..the plan is for HKM and Gruul tonight..9 server time

WTB him DEAD DEAD DEAD!!!!

Raiding? what do you mean raiding?

2007-10-24T09:27:00.000-07:00

After reading Honors blog today I can clearly see that I am not the only one starting to get frustrated with our progress....

Tuesday is reset day in WoW..

That should mean that A- Kill HKM and attempt Gruul
B- Run Kara again for the 40th week straight
C- Have 2 Kara groups go..one too early the other too late

Well..the answer last night was C..bogus imo

When you get to where our guild is at and add players to fill out the missing pieces and then dont raid...that can cause more problems than not being able to kill a 25man boss...boredom in a guild is like cancer..it will eat away at your group..and all it takes is one person to bolt..and then more will follow...then you dont have one Kara group..let alone enough to attempt a 25 man...dire prediction?

No..honest reality

The reason we have some of the players we do is because we were starting to progress...then we stop doing 25 man content and run Kara...

Then we go back to killing HKM and attempt Gruul..get him to 4%

Then we stop

It was reset day yesterday...

There are guilds in SSC..the EYE and even a few in Mt Hyjl and there is one in the BT..I want to raid..and last night

Well last night...

I farmed trees in Skettis with Dottie till we were both sick of it...then we Pwn'd some noobs in arena....Which in itself was a great night hanging with Dottie:)

But when it comes down to it....The answer of why Kara used to be "to gear players up"..well last night there were 3 alts in Kara...I wasnt asked to go and I got pestered all night by people wondering WTF with not running HKM/Gruul when it was posted in our guild forums

I was asked by 2 other guilds to raid with them..one in SSC the other Magtheridon....and no I wont tell you who they were but I will tell you I might go next time to see how much fun lay ahead..

I wont bolt on this guild...

But I want to raid...IMHO Kara isnt raiding...its farming

I wont be playing my main this week..
Going to level my lock with Dotties SP

Thanks for reading and keep up the good fight!

Lazy days..not really

2007-10-23T11:33:00.000-07:00

Been lazy and not posting lol

Recap of the last few days..

Dotslover still 52..but now 340 enchanting/340 tailoring

Raistilan..still 70 but now 375 tailor/185 mining

Have been watching my bank slowly dwindle down and down lol

Gotta do my dailies lol

Played on the test realm..got to the first boss in ZA..woot..tons of HP and hits like truck

Helped Lisa and Drew get keyed for kara Monday and in the process managed to piss off one our 5v5 team mates by helping guildies get keyed...

We then tried to do 5v5 and couldnt because we couldnt add anyone to the team..grrr
So..I started a new team..that is sitting @1500 after 10 games which is awsome:)
WTB everyone from other team:)

Its a reset day..

WTB HKM?GRUUL?

So...how did we wipe?

2007-10-17T05:34:00.000-07:00

I am not very good at the whole lore of warcrack..Hence why I just babble:P
If you want a blog with some lore to it..Honors is the man:)

The evening started off so promising..

I was asked by Lisa to run Shadow labs for Drew, Lisa and a Lock from our guild..I was down for that..it got even better with the addition of Trey bear the uber Drudad (Feral tanking/LEET dps kitty)
Things went smooth for the first bit..other than having to drink between each dead mob because there would be another mob coming as soon as that one was dead..grr mana:P
I only died once when we took 2 grps at one time..damn chain pulling LOL
It was a great run..Lisa got a new blue for her hunter and hit 69..drew got lots of marks for rep..
And I won a neither..woot a neither in regular SL :)

Then came the fight I look forward to every week..I get to tank a ?? boss..sweet!

You see..there is this King..he really pisses me off..High King Mulgar is an ass clown of epic status..he and his grp of cronies talk trash about our guild all the time..and every week we go and slap him and his buddies in their big drooling pie holes..
My personal beef is with this mage..Krosh is a dick..he said my gear sucks and that I look girly in my Spellfire set..damn it!!

We gather at the cave in Blades Edge..a 25 person grp of the finest Mal Katai has to offer and we go in...the King has a few gaurds..squishy imo:P

I run up and I am about to lay the smack down on that loud mouth mage when the boss stops me..we are not ready..DAMN:P

I forgot..we only had 24..and our 25th had just arrived but was doing some priestly things..what those are..who knows:P

We are all ready..Woot I get to start the fight..
I hit him with a Pyroblast right to the kisser..followed by another...then he hit me..ouch! 6k to my face..but I have Tommy the holy pali throwing blessings at me faster than Kroshies spells..Our Hunter's have left their Big mouth laying in a pool of his own pee calling for his mommy! they come to aid me in smacking Kroshie..woot I think he soiled himself with my last blast LOL

YES!!!! we are still 25..The King ..well he isn't looking to shit hot..all his cronies are in the fetal position crying:P
We are now 25 on 1 ..it takes less than 2 mins to make him tap out ..but we didn't stop..this was ongoing every week..so we ended it! By ending him!

It turns out that the King was also a thief..on searching his dead body..

Honors got his Shoulders back
Crunk got his Shoulders back
Tommy got his mace back..see told you I didn't borrow it:P

We took a run at Gruul..but he did not want to fight..soon..soon

There is some lore for you all:P

Grats on the loots guys:)

Grats to Tommy on the promotion

4%

2007-10-16T07:26:00.000-07:00

Not an very stunning title..meh:P

That is what we got that big drooling douche down too..and I don't mean nakedfighter's mom LOL
Yes..Gruul down to 4% and then we wiped..and having said that..we did not have 2 of the people we needed..Jypsy the Sp and Clark on either his Lock or his Sp..had we had either or both..I would be gratsing people on their phat loots:(

Ran Dadruid through Scholomance before Gruul last night..he got a whole crap load of xp and the head piece he wanted..so grats to you:)

I leveled my Lock to 52..Dottie got to 53..woot..deanna hit 60 on her lock woot again:)

We are doing HKM and hopefully Gruul tonight...I respec'd back to 41/20/0 from the 24/37/0 I was for Gruul Sunday/Monday...need to have slow if I am dueling mele..it has saved me and Dottie in arena more than a few times:P

Down to 1.8k in gold..need to farm with Dottie and get back to doing dailies

Damn it Raydz get DSL LOL (just kidding)

WTB Prince dead this week and that stupid dagger to drop..the mindblade and an off hand from heroics would give me +70 fire damage over my current set up:P

Get your shit together guys and lets get past Gruuls and in to Mag or SSC trash FTW!!!

GL tonight in any event..still the best guild on the server..even if Lissy is back in our midst:P

The Big Drooling #$%$$#

2007-10-15T06:32:00.000-07:00

Good day good day...

The weekend was a busy one..

Lock to 51 sunday..got my enchanting to 354 this am before work..woot!

Gruul down to 24%

WTB people who can stay for an entire raid!!!!

Friday night lights

2007-10-13T08:05:00.000-07:00

Nope..not a football posting lol

I log in last night and with in 2 mins I get a pst from Sevenn about kara and if I would go with them...I had not planned on running kara this week because I was told it was a week to get other people some gear..But being the good guildie that I am I said I would go...But then our GM was late getting on and Sevenn bailed..I was like WTF?
So..we run kara starting at Curator..easy pezy
Then we go to Shade and 1 shot him ...with out being poly'd..sweet:)
Best of all..Jypsy (fmr guildie from 2 fmr guilds and a hellava nice guy) Got all the loots from Shade..Woot!..the Shoulders and the boots..Grats man!!!

They say they are going to do chess..I step out for Deil who needs chess...

But they go do Netherspite on the way..So I log on to my bank..buy an EPIC TAILORING PATTERN!!!..Boots of the long road...ah..its boots are bop damn it lol
I sent it to Lisa

Netherspite did not go so well...to the point that folks got yelled at and were not spoken to very nicely..I was in vent listening and yeah well....that is all I will say about that

While they were racking up repair bills ..I was racking up kills outside kara..Funniest moment of the night:
A guy (Marklarr)who ripped me off on mats back around lvl 40 sends me a whisper about horde in front of kara..
My response "I remember you..."
His "There are alot"
Me "Your a pussy"
I charging in...Only 2 horde there
I then arcane power/POM and 1 shot a priest 5699 crit and one 1150 ignite tick LOL
I then trinket (still have arcane power) and arcane missle (4/5 crits for 1645 each lol) and fireblast...rogue dies
Raistilan 2 Power of madness 0 LOL

Then mr Marlarr runs in to kara after watching me clear him a path..Pussy (pardon my french)

After running around and killing horde for over an hour...they start to 2v1 me..damn them and their not wanting fair fights

No Prince tonight..WTF!

I log ...after waiting over an hour to fight prince and having a sore tounge and wasted my evening

I love the guild...

The guild is attempting Gruul tonight

As for me...?

Total repair/pots/regents/pattern 1.25k gold

Grats Honors for your epic loots Friday night from your kara group:)

Sleepy Wednesday

2007-10-11T13:40:00.000-07:00

Wednesday was slooooooooow

I missed kara..lisa not waiting ftl:(

Farmed a bit..only 60 gold ish:P

Helped Fanzor get his new staff at the ring of blood..

Ran around and ganked some horde:P

Did the Skettis dalies with Celoria..then we pvp'd with Trelic and Oslo in Skettis..chikenshit horde.

We then went to do our 3v3 ( w/cel and oslo) we went 7-2..woot woot! team work ftw!

getting good at the whole pvp thing..cant wait for the arena chest piece..prolly 2 more weeks..woot:)

See you in game

Turkey day long weekend

2007-10-09T10:32:00.000-07:00

Good day :-)

Where to start..was a very busy weekend

Heroic mech is getting easier each time we go..as long as we have our tank of choice..Honorshammer FTW imo..we tried with a pug tank last week..omg suckage

Tried it with a non tanking druid..wipeage ftl..and a 56g repair bill

But when we have honors..everyone steps it up..in part because I think we want him to think we are good enough to run it with him and impress him:-) and its an easy 5 badges!

Saturdays 2v2 with Cel started ruff..but we started to get a rythem and managed to go 7-7 woot!

Sunday kinda sorta sucked, my Mom had her internet go down, I tried for 2 hours to get it up and running...finally deciding on a new modem..She gets it..I install it and it works..woot
Later that day I go to log in and my net is down..Cable company when registering her new modem..shut off my gaming modem..grr..an hour later I am on..in time to run heroic mech and do dailies with Cel before she had to log...then farming ftw

Farming is something this lazy mage is good at..I can farm for hours..I see the big picture..gold
I skinned 150 gold worth of clefthoof leather, 20 gold in scraps, 20 gold in junk and 6 greens for my lock to d/e for mats not bad for an hour and a bit
I also farmed (in a 24 hr span) 15 stacks of netherweave, 11 fel arms, 110 marks of sagreas and 5 greens for my lock..

Total for the weekend farming roughly 500 gold not including dailies woot

Monday was a farm fest and starting new dailies in netherwing ledge..going for our dragons:)
We did our dailies in record time..sans netherwing..good those are long and sucky:P

Ran a few WSG with the guild..we went 1-1..almost 1000 honor though

Then came gruuls..3 attemps..got him to 39%
From my angle..I had to keep going forward to dps and then run back to avoid the shatter..we need to keep that big ugly "thing" in the middle and need to lose 2 healers..we need 2 tanks, 18 dps and 5 healbots ftw!!
We are going tonight(Tuesday) to kill HKM and take shots at Gruul..mage tank ftw!

The Weekend ended on a high note..our 5v5 team..and major props to everyone involved:
Celoria, Heliousmunde, Stdbakerhawk, Nakedfighter, Oslo, Arbethon, Deil and myself (Yes that is more than 5..but we can have up to ten on the team) we went 14-4 and raised or rating to 1438..nicely done guys..(And I beat Naked in a duel..woot)

I hope this finds you all well...See you in Blades edge tonight for some 25 man raids!!!

Peace

Nightbane ftl

2007-10-06T07:17:00.000-07:00

Good day good day:P

We ran Kara last night with a very solid group...most of our core was there minus the guilds MT Brindall who was out "playing" in the woods lol
We smoked everything we faced in short order..untill Nightbane

Night bane is a sub 10 min fight that has been cake for months ...last night it was more like cod liver oil..not anyones fault..it just didnt go well..first wipe on him I died in the first flight phase..I got owned by his rain of bones (which has NEVER happened before)...then Clark got owned as soon as the boss landed...so down 2 of the top 4 dpsers 2 mins in to the fight..which it looked like it was 8 man ftw...I got a battle rez from Celoria at 11%...then sneaky pulled hate...dead, raydz dead...honors dead..then it was easy pickings for the boss:(

Same scenerio on attempt 2 through 5 lol..so we said screw it...we did some swapping of some guildies..brought Jypsy in to the raid...(Jypsy and I go way back to when I was a lvl 22 mage running around leveling my ass off...I got invited to join a guild called "Phantasma" and he was in it prior to me getting there...same guild with him untill I was lvl 64 and the guild went to the crapper:P..then I joined his guild "Atlantis reborn" untill I hooked up with Mal Katai")..It was Jypsy's first taste of Kara and I was hoping the staff that I have would drop from the boss for him..no such luck:P...but we still kicked curators ass and Tommy (Devona/Cellestia) got his t-4 gloves:)

Total repair repecing bill(total of 3 times..from 41/20 to 0/27/34 to 50/11 to 41/20)...197 gold ftl lol

Had to deal with some drama last night just before bed..an alt hunter of a lvl 70 rogue (adaman) started up being a dick in G chat..it was the 2nd time he was being douchie...I asked him to stop..he didnt..gkick him and his alt..less drama more fun:)

Dont be a douchie in guild chat or party chat...manners ftw

Shout out today to the Canadian troops helping out all over the world this Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada..Stay safe and stay the course <3 :)

Hopefully we will pwn Gruul this weekend...peace
