Forged Alliance

greetings. i meant to post this sooner, but i've been having so much fun with farmville and dailies that i've neglected to update the web site. i'm unable to raid tonight, tomorrow, or thursday this week, so my current plan is to officially start up group 2 next week on tuesday the 23rd. if anyone wants to play raid leader this week, feel free to put together a group if you want, or depending on how friday / saturday go, we can try to get a group going on monday the 22nd. also, if you've any preference for raid times, please let me know, either 7:30 - 10:30ish or 8 - 11ish or whatever other suggestion you may have. thanks!

Technically, whichever group gets the first Stone Guard kill is group 1. You can still do eet!

Inori's group goes 9:30 - 12 server which is 11:30 to 2am my time, way too late. I felt like I wanted to die Saturday morning when I had to get up at 7am this week after doing that.

I don't really know where you guys were at with raid groups before the expansion. If there ends up being room in your group I'd vote for 7:30 - 10:30ish. The earlier the better.

we ran 7:30 - 10:30ish for most of cata. also, i forgot to mention that for the most part i will probably give priority to those that were in g2 in cata, assuming you still want to put up with my raid leadering shenanigans. that said, i think there should still be several spots available.

Inori's GY grp is too late for me also. I'm planning on joining G2 (G1 mop?) schedule of tuesday/thursday if there's a hunter spot available

My vote also goes for 7:30-10:30!

I would like to heal for g2, since weekends are harder for me to make.

I'd vote 8-11 to have time for getting home from work and dinner, but I can push 7:30-7:45 if needed.

I just eat dinner and raid, knock out 2 birds with one stone.

Well given the option then I would throw in my hat for a DPS spot in G2, as it is the only thing that fits my schedule.

We need a priest replacement anyways ! And I think we only have 2 healers from G2 since Akroma isn't really raiding with us.

But I don't know about myself. I want to be a part of G2 again but man, jeff, sigh. KIDDING. But yeah, my boyfriend is back this week, so I might be MIA again living life. I've been playing a lot because he was on vacation for 5 weeks so I had a lot of free time, but I don't know ! I guess we'll see how things pan out.

But either way, 7:30-10:30 seemed to work out pretty well. I think I'd get tired from 8-11, but it's not that big of a difference.

G1 just sounds weird. I vote to stick with "G2" regardless ! Just used to it now ...

I am planning on sticking it out with G2...even if it means Jeff still leads Been in G2 through all our ups and downs and couldn't imagine raiding in any other group. Besides, Jeff seems to have kind of the same sense of humor I do and understands my sarcastic slurs and my not so sarcastic rants and puts up with them. Can't imagine anyone else doing that As far as time goes. 8:00-11:00 definitely works better for me. I am sure you have all noticed my little monster is staying up later now and she usually goes on her rampage from about 7-9. Finally dropping at 9. If you choose to do the 7:30 slot then I guess I will see how it works and if its not working then I will step out for someone else and consider HP's group or not raid at all.

I should apply for G2 using my secret warlock alt. As a reminder, raiding with the graveyard shift means that you get to raid with Dustin again! Jeff doesn't say any of Prince Malchezaar's lines in a raid.

I can't imagine myself being without the leadership of HP. My hunter will be with where ever HP's group is; once i level him that is .

My guild has not started running 25m since the release of the patch since not enough people are 90 and geared yet. We do not even have enough raiders to even run 2 10 mans. So ever since vaults released we have just been running 10m's. I find myself being rotated out every other raid night in only a 10m and it is becoming frustrating and unfair. I wouldn't mind being rotated out if it was a 25m because its understandable. So I am considering bringing my druid back here to HP's Friday-Saturday group since I rarely work on Saturdays so late raids wouldn't cut into my RL schedule on the weekends. Only if this is OK with HP.

invites are up for next week. we'll compromise and start at 7:45 and see how that goes. there's also an invite up for monday, stone guard is theoretically the easy combo so we should at least be able to get that down finally.

Yeah, I think I'm going to sit out of raiding for a while. I just don't think I can maintain set play times every week anymore, and I'm never really home before raids start.

Bummer since I spent so much time power levelling my monk too !

Good luck with this tier !

I'm still gearing up my resto druid (Myrdinn) for the raiding requirements - but I could be a sub for this group - or I was thinking me and Sxy may be able to work something out based on our schedules - where I start the raid and she finishes it. Typically I don't want to play past midnight on weekdays (I'm east coast now) - and I know she is dealing with a baby until that time. This may be a pain in the neck - but since the people involved here have been raiding together since Vanilla and a lot of BC - we may be able to make this work. Jeff, I'll hit you up in game about the idea - but you all could count me in as a healing sub. I'm making some progress on boomkin dps with some mods, research after flaking in Cata - and I will let you know when I get some good numbers on a target raid dummy and could be considered for a dps sub.

i think this might work, although we apparently need a healer now
