General Questions
Which days are you available for organized guild events? (Raids, RBGs, etc): 
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
UI
Upload UI: 
Which addons do you consider essential and why?: 
I feel that they are very important because mods like DMB give you reminders during a boss fight which can help with timing of your cooldowns. Other mods like Ag_unitframes, MSBT, and Grid are mostly for looks since the default UI is pretty lame.
PvE
Raid Experience: 
I have good experience with the old WoW raids like Molten Core, Black Wing Lair, and other old raids. I raided a lot when BC came out so I am familiar with Karazhan, SSC, Mount Hyjal, and other various raids from that expansion. When it comes to WotLK, I raided Naxx a ton when it was popular but I grew bored with Ulduar fairly quickly because the guild was in had no idea what they were doing so I do not have too much experience there. I liked ToC quite a bit so I played that pretty hardcore and it was so short so I liked it a lot. I am pretty familiar with ICC, the horde guild I was in on my rogue focused mostly on 10 man so I know the 1st wing, plague, and blood quarters. Dreamwalker and Syndragossa are not very familiar to me but I know the fights from watching them on tankspot.
Personal
What timezone are you in?: 
Michigan
Tell us a little about yourself.: 
I am a pretty chill guy and I get along well with others. I am a gamer at heart and I love to play hacky sack. Kinda reminds you of a hippy but trust me, I am not a hippy lol.
Open/Closed:

We were soooo close on

Icanhasmana — Wed, 04/07/2010 - 22:24

We were soooo close on Sindragosa! I definitely have the fight down now and I am very used to the mechanics of it. Now I have to show you what I have in the Plague and Blood wings that I am oh so familiar with. :D

I'm not linking parses from

Aidin — Mon, 04/05/2010 - 23:14

I'm not linking parses from KB...cause well.. EFF UNCHAINED MAGIC.  You did well for the first time seeing one of the harder fights in the game.  Sure you had some hiccups with tombs, and maybe blew yourself up once...or twice...lol  But you adapted well. 

I'd like to see what the vending machine has on free loot Tues, on some fights he's familiar with. We chatted a bit, and he'll be on ready to rock tomorrow for Salmon or KB, whichever may need his assistance.

I should do much better

Icanhasmana — Tue, 04/06/2010 - 00:21

I should do much better tomorrow because I actually know the fight lol. But I did experience most of those fights as a melee dps because my horde character was a rogue. But I did a couple 10 man ICC's on this toon so I know most of them from the ranged point of view. Tomorrow should go well and ill do my best! :D

What things might cause you

Aidin — Sun, 04/04/2010 - 22:29

What things might cause you to leave?: 

I would only leave if Silentalarm left but other than that I am here to stay if accepted.

So I have a concern here.  Your friend doesn't raid 25 man.  You're apping to raid, and we need mages.  So are you saying that we'll be assed out after throwing loot at you for a few months when he gets bored and transfers to "play with real life friends"?

i have actually been uin this

Grussles — Mon, 04/05/2010 - 11:02

i have actually been in this guild for almost 7 months and i love it...the reason why i didn't raid in those first months was because my machine didn't have the power to generate the fps in order to be an effective 25 man raider. since i have recieved my new machine i've reported in for every salmon raid and i'm looking for a regular spot because i have the dedicated time. I'd like for it to be known though that we don't care what raid we get into...be it salmon or kb...we'd both very much appreciate being in the same one.


On another note. I've systematically been getting my RL friends on to this server so I'm not gonna drop server and leave after i made my friends spend a combined $100 to be here.

I didn't realize you'd been

Aidin — Mon, 04/05/2010 - 11:14

I'm aware of the length of time you've been in guild, but I didn't realize you'd been raiding, that's awesome. Although I'm sure how you can see why the comment concerned me.

np man...the tone was

Grussles — Mon, 04/05/2010 - 19:15

np man...the tone was completely friendly sorry if it came off harsh. it was purely a transfer of information and no anger, annoyance or animosity.

Woops

Icanhasmana — Mon, 04/05/2010 - 13:31

Yeah sorry, I did not mean for it to come off like that. I don't want you to think I was some ninja that wanted epics. I just really had no real reasons why I would want to leave.  Most of the guilds I have been in have broken up due to drama and it is then that I proceed to find another guild.  So yeah sorry about the misunderstanding lol and  I have to work on my wording from now on.

Hello sir or madam, and

Aidin — Sun, 04/04/2010 - 22:26

Hello sir or madam, and welcome to the Downfall recruitment process. If you fancy a quick invite, have thin skin, or like purps over people then don't waste your time reading what follows, just press on now.  If you are a skilled player, or even a player in need of a little molding, and you have time to dedicate to dead bosses, and to a community of people that do more together then play a video game, then here's a few things for you.

Recruitment Process


Step 1 Application :
Well you've already completed this step by taking the time to complete our lengthy application.  Some think it's silly, we have documented proof that it easily weeds out the douchebags before wasting too much of our time.

Step 2 Who are you? : Type /join dfrecruit in game.  This will put you in our global chat channel for recruits.  You'll find lots of Downfall members in that channel often shouting for people for random heroics.  This will get your name out there, let people get to know you.  The more people you get to know, the more people will begin to comment on your application, and thus keep it "alive"

Until you start to get comments from those who excel in your class, or those who have nice/not so nice things to say about you as they get to know you, it's up to YOU to keep your application active, it's not just a matter of posting and never coming back, we are a website oriented guild, get used to using it.

Step 3 Raid Tryouts : 
Raid : mAlt opens up 3 slots each Sunday for raid performance tests.  We parse these events and can see you in action before we bring you into a 25 man progession raid.  For more info on mAlt and raid times/sign ups: /raidgroup/malt

Step 4 Be There :
Be online during 25 man progression raid times, its even better if you're on from start to finish, since people will DC mid raid.  If you're apping to raid, it's a long and grueling process.  We DO need consistant skilled players for both 25 man raids, and you're not the only person trying to get that spot.  What we like to see is our apps posting on the raid events that they are available to fill in on a given night.  Then if you've posted that you're going to be on that night, make sure to shout our a reminder in dfrecruit just as raid is about to start just to let us know you're on. It may be weeks, it may be months before you see action, but you may end up with a spot the first time you join the recruit channel. 

We have TWO 25 man progression raids:
Raid : Kitten Brigade /raidgroup/kitten-brigade   Mon - Wed 6:30 - 10:00
Raid : Salmon /raidgroup/salmon   Tue - Thu  6:00 - 9:00

Well that's what you can expect for the next few weeks/months.  We've had applicants that have waited over 3 months for an invite, we've invited people within a few days, every situation is different. So get you're name out there, get some comments, and good luck to you!
