Hello,
week 5 in ICC eh?
pretty good eh?
PRETTY SWEET!
So, another saturday night run, this time going from an early 6:30, sees us clear 5/12 with no hassle, included the cleanest Deathbringer kill this side of Filp's ego.
Having the knowledge that we would continue on sunday night relieved alot of the stress, and after one shotting Fester ( HAH - ed.) we were beaming with pride, and many of us found it hard to sleep (resulting in a fail Gruul's run - hehe)
Taking ourselves one step back, friday night was a chill event, although not nearly a full primal run we cleared ToC in around 2 hours, and with barely a scratch.. lag issues for Filp kept him out and considering I (Gazz) had had the same issue the previous week, i sympathised.. Suck!
This post is being typed in a hurry, as i realise its wednesday and i still haven't gotten a weekly post out! :O shame on me eh?
Id like to provide quotes from the raids, but to be perfectly honest we ran through both ToC and 5/12 so quickly and smoothly there was barely time for it.
So, jumping around once again lets discuss sunday; or 'Progression Night'
11 wipes on Rotface.. *sigh*
What really really annoys me the most, is that in our final attempt for the night, we could have had him, were it not for my own personal internet issues, although everyone was having lag issues, and they were definetly inhibiting performance i cant help but feel shamed for my almost AFK presence during the fight.
Something like 11 attempts had us call it, but what is notable is that Rot is purely a control based fight, and so that many wipes simply means within several more it will 'click' for those who still havent got it, and all of a sudden it will be just as easy as Fester.
Unfortunately however, Management has called a plain 5/12 this coming weekend, as dedicated veteran and officer, Jez and Eka respectively will both be away visiting family during the long break.
I urge anyone who will be facing similar issues to talk to Myself (Gazz) or Filp, just so that we know.
Toodles from me guys, intelligent discussion is open in comments :P
Cyas all later!

ReplyDeleteHeads up boys & girls. Announcement re Cata raiding incoming:
ReplyDelete* 10- and 25- man raids in Cataclysm will share the same lockout
* Normal versus Heroic mode will be chosen on a per-boss basis in Cataclysm raids, the same way it works in Icecrown Citadel
* 10- and 25- man bosses will be close in difficulty
* 10- and 25- man bosses will drop the exact same items
* 25-man bosses will drop a higher quantity of loot, but not quality
* For the first few raid tiers, our plan is to provide multiple smaller raids. Instead of one raid with eleven bosses, you might have a five-boss raid as well as a six-boss raid.
* Content will continue to be gated
* First Cataclysm raids will be tuned for players in dungeons blues and crafted items
Ah, good, finally no difference between 10/25 loot, its ridiculous that there is currently!
ReplyDeleteim sort of ashamed blizzard hadnt already thought of that, the 10/25 shared lockout also makes sense, in a lore way..
As for the blues/crafted items... sweet! doing naxx in those was fucking hard work, this will mean primal should have a much smoother entry than anyones previous experience in entering new content (especially new to SUCH a degree)
- Thanks russ :D
Does indeed sound interesting, good to know russ thanks for post :)... not sure im gonna like this shared lockout though. It may make more sense, but unless there are a "crapton" of raids in caty i think ill be sad to see all those runs go. Being able to hit up early raid in blues should be a great system however :D
