So, WLK is ages away, new games and burnout are drawing away from your standard crew, and your pool of recruits has either shrunk to 0, or seems to be filled with people who probably have trouble getting dressed each morning without strangling themselves.
Welcome to Raiding!
So, anyone else finding more and more people lapsing into pre-expansion malaise before we have anything but scraps of info?

Here's hoping, after a brilliant impromptu SSC run early this week that our progression weekend this Friday/Saturday actually goes 5/6. All my upgrades drop off Vashj/Kael

that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
Sure, I won't leave mid-boss, but I'm not going to stick around for another attempt and make someone wait for me if we're running back.
what class are you, my guild may be recruiting dps
Curious, what class are you?
And have you lost your spot to nincompoops?

I wish. Even though our OTs don't wear any SR either, they use the excuse that I'm a recent transfer and don't have my SR gear yet to keep me on MT duty.
Not that it's HARD, really--pres mangel and lassereight and mall lots--just dang is it spiky
We've been working on M'uru without the right class balance for I think around 3 nights now, and while I'm sure we've all gotten some good practice, it feels like we're getting to the point where it might be nice to have some real attempts. So here's fingers crossed that tonight we have our normal prot paladin, not to mention the 3 warlocks, 2-3 shadow priests, 3 other tanks, enhancement shaman, and the myriad of other needed people show up.
7:45 Raid invites go out.
7:46 23 people in the raid.
8:01 28 people in the raid.
8:05 Okay, everyone head to BT.
Where did everyone go? :-/
I hate the fact that when they say invites go out at x people take thier sweet ass time showing up for a raid
I show up at that time ready and able to go and wait 30 minute or more while you finish your porn or whatever
Some nights take a little longer than others because we're tweaking for a boss, but by and large it cuts down on the 'sit down and do nothing and wait' time.
Yeah I don't know why they're so bitchy about it. I mean we're all bitchy about people with spotty attendance and your whole "I don't have a home" thing has made your lifetime attendance look pretty bad, but still. You did post and mention that you'd be leaving early. When it's one of Bahl's buddies who wants to leave after an hour, it's no problem because hey they told him! Even though we might have had someone who could stay the whole night sitting out, it's fine, because they told him. :roll: Never mind him showing up late and his girlfriend leaving an hour or two early every night this week because she stays up all night playing and then is too tired for raids. :roll: :roll: Yet last night he's bitching about why you weren't taken off the attendance for Sunday since you "left early."
Our paladin OT actually did this last night. We were about to pull and he's like "Shit, I have to go pick up my niece, I'm AFK." No one noticed until I had to roll on shoulders for him. Which I failed at. ;__;
I remember a dps warrior would talk on and on about how his girlfreind would sit in his lap or give him a blow while playing.
Oh gods i hate those people. We've got a guy in our guild who regularly holds the entire fucking raid up starting because he likes to go have a shower before he starts raiding, i swear if i was an officer i'd be swinging a hatchet around.
I bet a ret paladin could do it, ours is constantly typing stuff in /say mid-fight because he has nothing better to do.
He would leave vent on so we could all hear him and her giggles or mumbles they made me ill
Positive note is 45%ish on this first evening of serious learning. Can already see who is weak at "hai go into the portal NOW", and who is fairly bad at "this tank is up top, this tank is down below, where are you?"
Interesting little setup for a fight, but definetly fun times.

"Tardo Wan" sounds like a Jedi that required 436 years to train and then killed himself by looking into his lightsaber while turning it on."
Ezeverlast and his wife have the most memorable fight for me
[Chokolate]: I slept with your whole PvP team !
[Ezeverlast]: FINE...after I finish leveling my priest alt we'll talk about this "Marriage" thing.
and it goes on from there right in front of me via the game
Or when vent crashed and everyone gets tossed into the same channel and we all hear the akward words of cybering while in AB
HAHAHA that is awesome. I would never have sexy tiems on Vent, you never know when people with admin are listening or swapping you into different channels, eh?
Hypothetically how does one of these "admin" people be all creepy and eavesdrop? Not that I have admin privileges on our vent server or anything.
>.>
<.<
Was he OTing Mother?
And yeah, Mother is what Junpei was talking about.
Interesting... and going AFK on Mother is no biggie. Hell I've gone AFK while tanking Mags. I had a huge threat lead and the pizza guy was there....
That'd be because there are long cooldowns between abilities. I can type out things on my pally, but not my hunter :O
EDIT: And you can ghost join vent channels, where you can't talk but you do hear everything that goes on.
Is that different from creating a Phantom, because the Phantom is visable to all of the users?
It's amazing how many fewer traffic, dinner, etc delays there were. We usually have around 35-40 people on at raid invite time now.
It's the same thing, and AKAIK it's available to all users too.
Yep, we used that with keybindings for a while for side conversation stuff.
I'd be way too worried using binds to talk to specific people, like at some point I'm sure I'd hit the wrong key and make an ass of myself. Like the time my mom called while I was doing AB and I kept hitting push-to-talk anyway but didn't hear people yelling at me cos I'd muted Vent.
We used to handle blessing assignments pre-Pally Power. It worked out okay, I don't recall any of the paladins screwing it up but others did sometimes.
