Greetings everyone, With the release of patch 8.2 last Tuesday, the new raid is approaching quickly and will open on July 9th. This means that it is now time to plan the roster for the tier. Please post here or let an officer know if you plan to be raiding with us for this tier. As always with new tiers, rerolls are allowed, but priority on roles will be given to people who want to maintain the role they had in the previous tier. Looking forward to seeing you in the raid group! Raid Leader Mort

Greetings everyone! With the Battle of Dazar'alor raid releasing tomorrow, I thought I'd make a post so you guys know what to expect. As always with a new raid tier, we are likely to have returning players or some people who might want to switch to another character. There is no absolutely no problem with that, but keep in mind the following : Priority will be given to people who want to maintain the role they had in the last tier. The character you pick should be geared enough that it won't hinder progression for the rest of the group. With normal dropping 385 gear, returning players or new characters should aim to be at least 365 in order to be allowed in the group for progression. This should be easily achievable with the catchup mechanics in place. Keep in mind the Darkshore warfront gear will go up when the raid unlocks, as well as M+ ilvl rewards, which makes it even easier. As usual, we will be starting with normal difficulty, and move onto heroic once we've cleared it. We'll keep clearing normal until we're far enough into heroic that there is no gear someone needs in normal that they couldn't get from our heroic kills. If you would like to watch the fights on video beforehand, Wowhead has a great guide with video for every bosses based on PTR footage. Keep in mind it is not required for you to watch those, as I will have strategies prepared for every boss, but you are encouraged to get familiar with the fights if you want to. If you have any questions, leave them below and I'll answer them as soon as possible. See you in raid! Raid leader Mort

With the closure of our BF4 servers, this has led to a huge resource lost to bring in new members and a way to grow the ATR community. Part of the reason is that BF4 has lost its vigor due to its age. BF1 which we thought would’ve been the next chapter in our BF lineage failed to capture where the BF4 game and community left off. Because of this and the rise of PUBG, BF will not be the way we will be able to grow our community. What we need help with is some input from our current community members. What are some games you would like to see a bigger interest in from the community? What are the current games that you are playing? Mainly we want to see where the interest is and where we can focus on bringing in more members who enjoy the same games as what we like to play or future games that we could be looking forward to playing.

Im looking to play OverWatch, GTA5, and CSGO. These games have a big following/community. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks! -OONicc

Gaming with friends always makes a gaming better. A lot of us still play World of Warcraft weekly because of that.

PubG current heavily invested game. Probably will be for a long time. Good place to grow ATR's community with so many people playing. Quake Champions - will be another I'm hoping to spend a lot of time on. I did play a lot of Overwatch but it sucked running solo. Played a lot of it on console and it was my main game once I got my PC. Would love to get back into it because it is a huge team driven game and I like that. The community in the game is pretty large too. Battlefront 2 - looks good! Better than the first. I hope it does good. I'll dabble in there because, Star Wars 😁 Destiny 2 - I'm still iffy on this one simply because the way the first game was handled over time kind of ruined it for me. The game is fun with friends. Id gladly jump back in with ATR. The game has a big following and tons of potential to grow the ATR community through this game. These are the only ones that come to mind atm.

soooooooo.... when do we go back to red and black? asking for a friend

Hello, Neoblack here, I go tomorrow to Orlando/Florida in a semi Family Vacations to the Disney/Universal/etc Parks and probably I Gonna do THE BIG QUESTION on the Firework show in Magic Kingdom... Wish me Luck I coming to Raid normally in the next week... Don't give Mastric my Loot plz

Alright Neo! Have fun in the theme parks! Make sure to post pictures of you with the princesses!

Raid Leader Mort does not understand what you were trying to communicate. Regular Mort doesn't either, for what it's worth.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxPdH3tv8zuGDBBKCEwruGQ please attempt to watch the fights

I can live without the icons if it makes recruitment easier

Okay, all linked up.

Because of some heavy 'people being dead' things happening around here, among other important dates, I won't be returning to raid until November 15th at the earliest and November 22nd at the latest. Need to focus on other things right now and I need all the time I can get.

All your fancy game badge plug0-ins might not work but I think there silly anyway.

I've been using Discord for when I am not playing the same game as all the rest of you. I've had it set up for...gosh...a long time now, I don't remember, but prior to when this thread first started. The chat is super nice, I use it on my phone so I can check in with friends about playing games later when I'm at work and stuff. Resources, like Mastric, why would I have less than 32gb of RAM? As a benefit, many people use it and are in channels for popular streamers or other gaming communities and it's little work to have them click the button to join our server. Pro tip: Make a permanent link that can be posted on the ATR site for people to join our server.

I think its time we re-visit Discord, lot of time has passed and I think it will work better than Team Speak. I am currently using and liking Discord. Let the Discussion Begin..!

No worries, thanks for posting. Job comes first and that's perfectly understandable. See you tomorrow!

"Roqwell & Others"

Congrats on the kill everyone. Special thanks to those who have been consistently showing up.

Does this office say 'Roqwell' or 'Goat' on the door? If not you must make it so!

The Colored Museum is the first production we're doing that I am a stage manager for. The second production is American Idiot but I don't necessarily plan to do much for that one.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER @Snakedbd let me know if the address we have on file for you is correct. https://www.random.org/draws/details/?draw=52673

Common monitor, Give it to me!!!!

Don't know if there is raid this week, but if there is I won't be available Tomorrow I'm going to see a play with my great uncle and Thursday I'm heading to Snug's place so... blame him.

Internets!

Follow the link, and check out these "minimalist" boss strategies to familiarize yourselves for next week and further. http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/6517-World-of-Warcraft-Tomb-of-Sargeras-Minimalist-Raid-Guide

no you won't, new raid content means you belong to them. don't try and kid yourself.

I'd advise against it at this time. We're already a bit fragmented, and we're not going to just hard switch to a different voip app. So dragging half the community to discord to maybe get more pubg people in seems like a bad idea for the community as a whole.

Our discord is still up, and every time I attempt to use any discord I switch to text chat only. I've yet to run in to any discord people who've setup there Mic correctly, or even use the desktop client. Hell most of the discords I'm in are for text chat only . So put simply if we switched to discord I'm sure most people would just stop talking all together.

Appreciate the input so far. Definitely hoping some more people throw in their feedback!

Don't take offense, he's lucky if he remembers is own name

Feel the BURN! In your sockets!

I think @OONicc has been doing a good job with this

PUBG should be getting community support by full release. Until then, if you group with none atr members in any game, chat them up and get them in teamspeak to hang out with our community. No reason to stop bringing new members to us just because BF4 closed.

To any of the BF4 members who feel intimidated about socializing and playing other games with other people don't. We have loads of members who just come in teamspeak to hangout now and we are always looking for new friends. Don't be afraid to pop into other channels and say hi you may find a great new group of folks to play with and exiting new games to try.
