Guild Run Weekly Flexible Raid in 5.4
Elapsed — Thu, 08/01/2013 - 14:23
With 5.4 just around the corner (I hope no sooner than Sept personally) The question comes to will my LFR runs come back?
No! I hate LFR with a passion and hate that I've felt forced to run it just for gear opportunity.
Flex raids will be the new thing in 5.4 and I really feel we can replace our LFR weekly with a Flex Raid run. Not only can we get our gear, but we get to make it a guild run event that we fully control! No more will we deal with people that do not speak english or abide by our rules (i.e. Tortos kicking shells)
So I want to discuss when we will be running this flex raid of SoO. I would love to get it in on the weekend so that we can include a lot of people, Also I want to open this door to people who don't raid with the main raids, be more inclusive, that is what flex is for after all!
So I propose saturday afternoon or evening to run our Flex SoO. Only one night (unless we decide that a sunday run is needed but I hope it isn't) I want to consider EST and CST time zones for this so that we can include our increasing eastern and central guild-mates.
MAJOR POINT: THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR 25 MAN HUG! This is a replacement for LFR runs so we can have a bit more fun and as I said above have more control over the raid environment.
What we need are 2 tanks who can reliably be there every week and some healers (not sure on that number yet but assuming 6 like normal if we get a full 25)
My proposal (incredibly subject to change and will be updated as more information arises)
Saturday 6-9pm Server time with a possibility for Sunday afternoon (we don't want that time to interfere with Raid Galaga)
TLDR: Just read the damned thing

Enixa — Fri, 08/02/2013 - 10:51ARe Flexible raids on a shared lockout per week? MY reason fo asking is obviously my schedule sucks balls for everyone. I'd like to take advantage of the future merger of realms and run a small 11-15 player raid. More focused on Acheivements and Serpents, but unfortunately it will be at times that most people can't make. Wouldn't want to poach anyone
yeah you can only run one

Is that permission granted

Elapsed — Fri, 08/02/2013 - 12:41I want to treat flex (as of now) as a little more of a fluid and less set in stone. Let's wait and see if we get any more info in the next couple of weeks. Like you said we don't want to be poaching from each other

That is a possibility, but
Elapsed — Thu, 08/01/2013 - 16:09That is a possibility, but everyone keep in mind that much like LFR Flex does not share a lockout with normal or heroic and loot will drop individually like LFR. So you can use this to gear up your main (I'm probably bringing Elapsed most of the time to this as a healer unless we have a surplus)
Seems like a good opportunity
Luminaire — Thu, 08/01/2013 - 15:28Seems like a good opportunity for me to tank on my monk.
Will this group end up going
Aeolyn — Thu, 08/01/2013 - 15:16Will this group end up going for the Glory of the Siege meta? Regardless, you have my bow or sword. I just dig me some meta mounts and Flex will be THE mode to do that on.

What's a flex raid?
saedo — Thu, 08/01/2013 - 15:00What's a flex raid?
Flexible raiding will allow
Elapsed — Thu, 08/01/2013 - 15:17Flexible raiding will allow any raid size from 10-25 people to zone into an easier mode of the raid that will scale difficulty to the number of people there. It offers better loot than LFR and cannot be Queued for! So if on a Flex raid you only get 14 people, the difficulty will scale to your raid. The only thing that doesnt scale is the number of tanks required
I am very interested in this.
