Who wants to do Downfall RBGs together?
Aeolyn — Sun, 10/27/2013 - 10:49
For a while we had a successful RBG group running that was led by Cata. I miss doing them and I know that at least some of us would probably have fun PVPing together again. So I'm posting this to see if anyone would be interested in resuming it. If it catches on, we will continue. But for right now the idea is as follows:
*Form a core RBG group and play together as a group regularly until we each have the 40 win achievement done:
http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=8485
*The purpose is to win until everyone has their Viscious Saddles. This is not a ratings push group. The point here is to have fun, get a bunch of Conquest Points, and get some really kickass mounts.
That said, if the old RBG group was any indication of our success rating, we should be able to knock this out pretty quickly. I just need some other players who would be dedicated to the cause. I can fill a couple empty slots with OQ pugs or whatever, but I would really like to have a strong Downfall backbone like we had last time.
If you are interested; please say something here. We will probably run Thursdays and/or Sunday at some point in the afternoon / evening since that would conflict with established guild events the least.
The hours won't be finalized until we actually have some players for obvious reasons, but that is what I'm shooting for.
Edit: We will begin RBGs at 5PM server time on the 7th of November. This may not be the time that we end up using regularly (feedback still appreciated), but I'm going to see a movie at midnight EST so I'm not willing to go past 8PM server time on this particular Thursday. That gives us a 3 hour block to have fun.
Plans for Sunday will be posted after we see how attendence / interest looks on Thursday.

Frost/Blood DK here, I've done RBG's with you guys in the past and have been waiting for this to pick up again :)
I also have a resto/melee shammy and afflic/destro lock that I can bring as well that are all equally geared in full tyrannical+some grievous pvp gear. I'm also an adequate target caller if we need that as well.

RBG Update. Calling all Downfall PVPers
Aeolyn — Wed, 10/30/2013 - 17:17Tomorrow (Thursday) is Halloween. I have plans so we won't actually be running. I also have a friend coming into town this weekend that I haven't seen in, like, 7 years. So I'm not sure I will be here Sunday either.
That works out fine, though, since we haven't really hammered out a schedule yet and this gives us the chance to do exactly that.
I know most of the guild is west coast so I'm curious as to what time would be considered "too early". To be honest I'd kind of like to just set a starting time and run until folks wish to stop rather than set, like, a 3 hour block aside. But I don't know how people feel about that. I'm willing to RBG at basically any time on these 2 days but I have to point out that if we run late I will need someone vocal to help me co-lead stuff since I can't be super loud at night.
Potential starting times right now:
4PM server time
5PM server time
6PM server time
If you want to be there next Thursday when we get started please please tell me what time frame works best so that we can have a group together and ready to kick some ass.
5PM server time would
Kognus — Thu, 10/31/2013 - 16:545PM server time would probably work quite well for me most weeks. This Sunday and next Thursday I will not be able to run since I have prior commitments, but most weeks I should be able to make it.
RBgs
Meniax — Thu, 10/31/2013 - 13:30just joined the guild and love rbgs, anytime on those days work for me, so whatever is good for everyone else im in!
Final RBG update: 11/7 5PM server time
Aeolyn — Thu, 10/31/2013 - 10:13As with any new PVP team, don't come expecting an incredible win rate until we learn to coordinate with each other. We will have to see what we can manage as far as leadership structure beyond just myself, target calling, flag running, ect. There will be some trial and error.
That said, once we have a chance to get stuff figured out we should do fine. If the old RBG group was any indication, we can rack up wins pretty quickly.
Edit: Original post updated with schedule information in bold
I usually end up getting off
Jobs — Thu, 10/31/2013 - 07:55I usually end up getting off work around 4PM server time during the week, so I would prefer to start after that time. On Sunday, anytime after 2PM server time is okay for me.
Summary:
Weekdays -> 4:30 or later
Sunday -> 2:00 or later
**Generally preferred not to run later than 9:00 server time
Since there is DST this
Mehguy — Wed, 10/30/2013 - 18:59Since there is DST this weekend, all of these time work for me. However... lasted is better.
4-5 server best for me but
Painhax — Thu, 10/31/2013 - 01:134-5 server best for me but I'm east coast
I am interested, Aeolyn. I'm
Kognus — Mon, 10/28/2013 - 20:02I am interested, Aeolyn. I'm still getting the hang of Mists of Pandaria PvP, but I have a lot of past experience if you guys need a ret paladin. Thursdays and Sundays should work pretty well for me most weeks.
Sup Kognus! Looking forward
Jobs — Thu, 10/31/2013 - 07:58Sup Kognus! Looking forward to some PvP with ya dude.
I dont really have any of
Kymmu — Mon, 10/28/2013 - 12:58I dont really have any of this seasons pvp gear but I wouild gladly farm for it and heal for yall!
Man, we're doing awesome on
Aeolyn — Mon, 10/28/2013 - 08:32Man, we're doing awesome on interest thus far. I guess its time to start looking at time frames for this thing. Assuming Thursday / Sunday -- what times would be good for people? I'd prefer not to run too late so as not to keep Diyana awake with my yelling. So I guess it comes down to what time people are home on the west coast.
I'm down!
idio — Sun, 10/27/2013 - 23:20I will be 10 piece grevious on Tuesday, I am down for RBGs for sure.
I am interested. Depends how
Mehguy — Sun, 10/27/2013 - 18:27I am interested. Depends how long you plan on doing it on Thu so I can avoid wife aggro from raiding Mon-Wed and also Flex on Saturdays....
I think I still have a few PvP pieces laying around somewhere... like 2 or 3. Either that or I just stay tank, sit on flags and never die.
OH OH im definitley in. Im
Painhax — Sun, 10/27/2013 - 15:26OH OH im definitley in.
Im working on full grevious.
Disc.
I'm kinda down, not pvp
Insta — Sun, 10/27/2013 - 14:18I'm kinda down, not pvp oriented, but will join if Downfizzles peeps are down. If Turth's flex raid will be scrapped out of Thursdays, maybe we just do RBGs during that day?
While I would like to see
Aeolyn — Sun, 10/27/2013 - 15:46While I would like to see Turth's event continue on a weekly basis -- it hasn't been. And I would happily consume that time frame if nothing else is going to happen in it.
And Turth, if you see this, this isn't any attempt to suggest the Objective Raid not continue. I just want to start fielding options in the event that the Objective Raid ceases to be a thing.
Feel Free to take the time
Enixa — Thu, 10/31/2013 - 08:56Feel Free to take the time slot. Been holding out on posting but it's pretty obvious that we will no longer continue
Fear bombs!!
Jobs — Sun, 10/27/2013 - 13:32I'm not super PvP oriented, but I'll join y'all in battle!
Honestly you don't really
Aeolyn — Sun, 10/27/2013 - 14:22Honestly you don't really have to be. In my experience RBGs are more about teamwork, target calling, and having the sense to be at the right places at the right times than it is about the individual PVP skill of any one player.
I'm absolutely awful at Arena combat but I dig me some RBGs.
I am vary intrested in this i
manleychaps — Sun, 10/27/2013 - 13:18I am vary intrested in this i have full pvp gear and have been capping every week with oqueue pug groups but woudl love to have a guild group

Traziemykel — Sun, 10/27/2013 - 12:47I'm game, I have a full 496 pvp set so I guess I'll work on farming conquest for the new stuff
I'm in
Shatner — Sun, 10/27/2013 - 11:02A bit rusty, and hardly an pvp gear, however.
That's okay. We will amass
Aeolyn — Sun, 10/27/2013 - 11:22That's okay. We will amass tons of Conquest Points anyways.
