  1. No problem with that. Real life comes first, and if you finally have a job you like, you definitely should put your focus into that. Congrats on the new job and good luck with it! We'll still be here on Tuesdays, so you can get your weekly dose of Mort :).
  2. Only change I would make is I'd change DKP to EPGP in the initial post. Mentionning raid times would also be a good idea. Thank you to those that are helping with keeping the thread bumped up!

    Make sure to mention to whoever gives it that it has to stay strictly professional. I wouldn't want you to be sexually abused.

    Woah woah woah. Did you use internationnal date format? So that's 28th of March 2018? Thanks for the heads up! Edit : Also, your massage? Sounds scary.
  5. Best of luck with your trial. Given that you're a competent and dedicated player, I'm afraid we will not see you back. It's always sad to see people go, and you've been a long standing member of this community. I do hope you will keep playing other games, as I toroughly enjoyed giving you a beating in Civ 6 . Should you ever feel the itch to come back, you are more than welcome to. We'll still be here. Love, - Totally not a lizard people -
  6. Greetings everyone, In the light of recent attendance issues, the officers have discussed the possibility of using Tuesdays (where attendance is typically higher) for progression. If that option is picked, from now on we would be skipping to Aggramar and Argus on Tuesdays and using the rest of the night for progression. Wednesdays would be used for reclear. This could potentially alleviate some of the current issues and allow people to have lighter Wednesdays, having part of the night to relax or do other fun guild stuff. Before taking this decision, we wanted to have everyone's opinion on it. The question is pretty simple : do you want try to do progression on Tuesday or Wednesday, or do you not want to do progression at all.
  7. What the hell is is with everyone's computers breaking lately... Hope you get it fixed soon!
  8. Congrats on the kill guys! Yes, I do not know how cameras work. I suck at screenshot.
  9. Sounds legit. More on topic, I really like the tags.
  10. Thanks for posting. Congratulations on your new job!
  11. I can't really help you with point 1 since I don't play mage, but hopefully I can adress the other points. 2. Like Bash said, I have no issue with people having fun and talking during farm bosses. Rather, I encourage everyone to have fun and actually defended the point against people who thought people shouldn't talk during attempts no matter what. As for people talking over each others (I'm assuming you're talking about me and Jesseh just calling the same things), I'll admit it also irritates me, and I addressed the issue before raid tonight. As for changing positions every week, I get it can be slightly annoying for dps, but you have to consider this : We have people who can't show up every week, and never have the same amount of people in raid (or even the same people). I do my best to balance dps for bosses according to who is present for that kill. Unfortunately it means we don't have set positions like a 20 man mythic group would have. 3. This is not at all a push to be more hardcore. The intention to remain a casual guild and be welcoming to anyone who wants to is something that was decided when I accepted RL position, and it remains a top priority to me. Even if we do end up killing a few mythic bosses, we'll do it with the mindset that they're just bonus kills, not something we absolutely need to get. Hope that clears things up a bit.

    Roger that. Protect that home from the dangerous monsters that might want to invade it! Also thanks for the heads up.

    If you no longer find any enjoyment in raiding with us, then the best thing you can do for yourself is to take a break. If you ever feel the itch to come back, we'll be there. The only thing I would add, and that's good for everyone, is this : If you have a concern about anything concerning raid, you are encouraged to bring it up to an officer. We do our best to provide a fun place to raid for everyone, but none of us have figured out how to read minds yet, so feedback is definitely welcome.
  14. I actually googled "Big question fireworks show" and didn't find anything... figured he was doing pyrotechnics or something? In my opinion you can still take pictures with Disney princesses even if you propose, but if not we'll be satisfied with Timon and Pumba.
  15. Thanks for the heads up! I totally didn't have time to look at it though, but it's always appreciated when you warn us so we can plan accordingly.
  16. Alright Neo! Have fun in the theme parks! Make sure to post pictures of you with the princesses!
  17. Raid Leader Mort does not understand what you were trying to communicate. Regular Mort doesn't either, for what it's worth.
  18. I strongly believe people should be able to play a class they enjoy, as in the end that's what will keep them playing, not gear. The core reason for limiting main switching is to avoid people gearing up a toon, feel like they can't get much more out of it, and decide to switch in the middle of a tier. However, the beginning of a new tier is (after a new expansion) the best time to change main. After discussing with the other officers, this is what I decided on : Anyone who wishes to switch main for the new tier is allowed to do so, provided they do it within the next two weeks, and under the same conditions as returning players. This means there is no set minimum ilvl requirement, however : We reserve the right to ask you to step out if your gear simply doesn't allow you to survive and it hinders progression. In the specific case of main switching, you would still be allowed to come in on your main this week, but not be eligible for loot (since you decided on switching). If the toon you're switching to (or returning on) is behind on gear, you need to try your best to get up to par by farming gear outside of raid. Basically if you're allowed in raid this week, but put no effort in gearing up before next week's raid, you might be required to reach a certain level of gear before you're allowed to come back in on said toon. For normal we believe 910 to 915 should be an acceptable milestone (we have yet to see tuning), which is realistic with Argus and M+. If you need help running a high enough one to get upgrades, I will try to help whenever available. As of right now you may only switch to (or come back as) DPS, as we are currently full on tanks and healers. Get in touch with me or Mastric if you would like to main switch, so we can know what you will be playing. This is also valid for any returning player interested in raiding with us in Antorus (though I'm not sure quite how you ended up in this thread).
  19. Hello everyone! I hope everyone is ready and hyped up for the new tier! Fresh content means happy people, happy people means more fun in raid, so it looks like we're going to have a blast!* Since this is the first time I'm leading the team in a new raid tier, I figured I'd give a bit more information about what to expect than simply inserting links to videos of each of the boss fights. Speaking of which, Fatboss has very detailed videos from the PTR on his youtube channel if you ran out of Game of Thrones season to watch. In case your time is more limited because of all the AP you're grinding (or simply because you're not much into watching boss fights for a few hours), I'll cover every boss when we get to them. With that said, here's a little rundown of what to expect for this next tier. Raid atmosphere This is something that's been said and said again, but it's something that matters a lot to me as it is a big part of what makes ATR so awesome. Getting epic gear and parses for bragging rights is great and all, but above all else we raid to have fun together. This means that anyone who wants to join us is welcome to do so, and that we will not be sitting people for the sake of progression. So really nothing different than it was in Tomb of Sargeras, but it's still the one thing I wanted to mention in my tier opening speech. The following sections will be actual information about how the beginning of the tier will be handled, so if that's what you were looking for in this thread, you may skip the paragraph you just read (Hint : it's not actually possible to do now unless you have power over the spacetime continuum). Loots and purples For this tier we decided to go with the same EPGP approach we had when we started Tomb of Sargeras, namely a reset of your GP paired with a 90% EP decay. The goal is to give a little bonus to those who have been consistently raiding with us through this expansion, and should amount to approximately 1 (one) piece of gear. We have also decided to reduce the minimum EP amount required to bid to 2000 for the first week, to ensure everyone who's been with us in Tomb can start bidding on the very first boss. If you need a reminder of how much EP is awarded during raid, it comes from 3 sources : 100 EP for being there when raid starts at 7:30 (On time bonus). 50 EP awarded every 15 minutes during raid. 200 EP bonus for a first time boss kill (the same dragon on Normal and Heroic is considered 2 different bosses). Progression and boss order We will be starting on Normal keep clearing it until we get far enough that gear and legendary upgrade quest items (from the bosses we wont have killedon Heroic yet) from normal become pointless. The current plan for boss order is listed below. I prioritized tier bosses over non-tier when there was a pick to make. Garothi Worldbreaker Antoran High Command Eonar Felhounds of Sargeras Portal keeper Hasabel Imonar the Soulhunter Kin'garoth Coven of Shivarra Varimathras Aggramar Argus That's all I can think of! If you have any questions or comment leave them below so we can do the whole forum thing. Have a good day! *To those who noticed what I did there, yes, I am indeed getting down with the lingo. Edit : Here's a link to the current planned roster. I will try to keep it up to date if there are any changes to it.
  20. If you go to the zoo, say hi to the hippopotamus that takes nap with his face smooshed in the window! He's a cool hippo!
  21. Hello team! I think the questions speak for themselves. If you have questions leave them below!
  22. Raid was optional this week, so you're not missing out on anything! See you next week!
