Real ID Groups -- Raid Achievements/Mog Loot/Mount Seekers

[Dibdib]

Quick census - any EU interested?

I'm mostly Horde, but I got a DK that I could gear up for that.

Certainly.

Alliance side: I've got a priest I'd like to finish up Firelands on (disc main spec... can dps if REALLY needed but don't expect much). Alternatively I've got a warrior tank, a resto druid (gear's a bit meh) and a death knight tank.

Horde side: I've got a holy paladin with a tank offspec (although her offspec gear is a bit unfinished)

Oooh I could be up for this (EU alliance side). Would especially like to do Firelands (would have to learn fights, I did almost no raiding pre DS) on either my mage or my pally, but happy to dps in DS on my mage too.

Will wait and see which days people are free, and who is interested

[theckhd]

Theck, I recall you mentioning last week that some of your guildies would be taking over the FL run now that you'd finished your legendary? Either way, I'm generally still interested. It was fun

Yeah, Alice and Mindfade will be doing it every week (including last night). I was inviting people from realid who came to last week's run. Luckily I don't have to put the group together anymore, which is nice. I still end up raid leading it, though.

[Shoju]

If and when I get my Lock to 85, I would love to come on a FL run if I can make it work. Especially if me being a nub in bad gear isn't a "huge" deterrent

[theckhd]

Not a problem at all.

[Cogglamp]

Provided that Monday's run goes off well, I'd like for people to suggest raids they might like to do for the next run.

They certainly don't have to be epic runs. I wouldn't mind 8 manning Sarth 3D to max out achievements or if you have an achievement that's staring at you, waiting to be completed. Let's get it done for each other and help out a fellow paladin.

We've had a great response so far and some great players have tossed their hat into the ring so let's try to return the favor. Don't be shy and be sure to tell your guildees.

Cool, I didn't get on at all last night until rather late, when a not sleeping toddler who finally went to sleep made it such that I couldn't get right back to sleep

[benebarba]

Also, why do I think these may be the few times a PUG has no shortage of tanks to pull from?

[Bunni]

I would be interested EU side if it doesn't start too early in the evenings.
I'm mostly Horde, I do have a couple Alliance DKs but they have pretty spotty gear and tend to just tank 5 mans and joust.

[sfrog]

I rarely have time available during the weekday, but I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this!

[Mukat]

I've been keeping my eye on one of those sites where you sign up for real id raids since I need to finish my shadowmourne AND collect heroic off set plate for transmog, but most of those raids either have shards on reserve or they're open roll which worries me about how many people will be rolling on them. I suppose I could organize one myself but man that would be a ton of work!

[Cogglamp]

I was thinking about the run over the weekend and was wondering if anyone had objections of me clearing Flame leviathan ahead of time. Given that orbituary is very common and the boss itself (and trash) can be time consuming, I thought we could use our time on other bosses. Thoughts?

[theckhd]

I really doubt that's necessary. We'll be able to breeze through the place so as it is.

[Fetzie]

You can just drive down the middle and nuke FL dead in 20 seconds nowadays, the vehicles have insane health and damage with 390+ item level.

[benebarba]

I could go either way, but Theck has a great point.

When my guild went through there 8-manning it a couple weeks ago, we only really lost time to a really dumb wipe at the FL trash (vehicles!? who needs vehicles! ) and no one knowing the layout of the place or strategies on the fights that required you to pay attention to mechanics.

[Andurin]

Trew Sagara a message with info about my characters ^^

[Sagara]

Which leads me to the following - I've been pushing more and more away from organizing and such - I can't afford the time with the call center being complete FUBAR.

IS there any courageous soul that would like to see everyone's availability and preferred faction for EU?

Sorry :-/

I'm not an organisational talent and setting up my guilds weekly alt DS runs gives me a regular headache already, but occaisionally setting something up, I can do. (I fail even harder at raidleading btw, tunnelvision ftw)
Got all roles EU hordeside, dps/heals EU alliance on offer.

I could give it a shot for the first one. And if its going well i`ll try and set it up at a more regular interval (once every 2 weeks, or once a month for example). Could you pm me with the details I need to know?

[claisa]

Eu - the occasional saturday night

alliance
holy/prot pally

Horde
Mage Arcane/fire

[Cogglamp]

Updated with interested parties.

As for the Leviathan pre-clear, I hear you loud and clear. I've left it up. I think we're looking for for at least a full 10 man group tonight which I'm excited about. I'll make no bones about my raid leading skills. I'm just a scrub with some half decent organizational skills. I'm a better soldier than a general so if anyone in our Ulduar run has tips, feel free to speak up.

@ Andurin

I'm happy to help with the organization of it. Let me know what I can do to help an EU group get off the ground.

[Andurin]

Ok,

Trowing in an ICC mount run for alliance toons on an evening within the next 2 weeks (Trying to get it done before March 10). When I got a date set i`ll let you guys know

Only requirement: Dont leave when were done, I want to get a screenshot with everyone on it to see the results here. For more interest PM with realId's and stuff

[Malkieri]

Always happy to lend a hand to the Maintankadin community Eu-side. If you guys need some help filling out a team let me know. Other than the Prot/Ret Pally that's my main, I can offer: Hunter, Mage & Resto Shammy (all of them ally side - preferably Mon/Tue/Thur/Sat evenings).
I have no issues sending out a realid if that helps as well.


Edit: Days of the week are hard...

[Nikachelle]

Oh right, this eternal problem for me. EU side I can only do week days from ~23:00 server time (till whenever) and weekends after 18:00.

[Sagara]

WHere data is concerned, I only got a message from Andurin, so best you two handle most of it.

For my part, I'm raiding Friday/Saturdays, and can field my Pally (H, all three specs), Hunter (H), and DK (A)

[Andurin]

Ok, schedules are looked at and completely ignored. i`ll start off with a random stab in the dark:

Icecrown Citadel Mount run

Date: Thursday March 1, 2012
Time: 8.00PM Server time (Wich I think is GMT+1)
Region: EU
Faction: Alliance
To join: Signup trough PM to Andurin -> Subject: ICC Mount Run - March 01, 2012. Dont forget to send your realid.

For a first time i`m gonna try to do it on a Thursday. Already heard this is a raiding night for several people. If this doesnt work out, i`ll redo the same one on Friday March 9, 2012.

Starting off with Alliance, will give horde a go in the future aswell if no one else from the EU picks that up.

Also made this my first guild event. Hope that helps to fill up a bit aswell ^^'
