I've been thinking about branching mAlt out a bit. I'm sorta tired of KZ and Gruul/Mag...tell me what you think!

I have to agree with Shi
Aidin — Wed, 09/10/2008 - 12:53I have to agree with Shi here Ablonde...you've never even come to a mAlt run...why do you say this?
I doubt the success rate if
Adwarflol — Wed, 09/10/2008 - 12:14I doubt the success rate if we branched out, not trying to be cyncial.

Thought process is still in

...again still in the thought stages...sure there's more to come.
My thoughts are similar in
Fjork — Wed, 09/10/2008 - 11:31My thoughts are similar in part to Shihli's. However, I'm not sure what everybody else would think. I'm concerned that branching to Mt. Hyjal would require more time and effort than most of the 'mAlters' have had to do so far. From what I've seen even Gruul/Mag runs are usually "Oh, I got an invite, I guess I'll head that way....." I'm not denouncing the guilds play-ability, I just feel that there are two kinds of mAlters that might get uncomfortable with the serious mindset. Weekend-warriors (me, I won't deny it.....unfortunately) and people that are just playing up their alts for a little bit of unpressured / unstressed fun. Achimonde takes some serious work from what I've been told. However, on the same philosophy of getting the lowbies/alts in-there to beat down SSC/TK and let the real-raiders/mains finish it off, there would be the same availability for Archimonde-gear for raiders until all of the lowbies/alts could get geared enough to actually hang around.
Another observation. NEW CONTENT!!!!! (to me) :P Just lemme get one Mag/Gruul run down before you moves on!!!! I wanna see as much as I can!!!!!
AAANNNNDDD
Should it become time to retire KZ for you Aidin, you could always have somebody else run a mini-mAlt on Sats for KZ while you take care of the content progession. Enough people should have learned all the mechanics by now to take over as a KZ raid-leader.
Does this mean you will be
jaibyrd — Wed, 09/10/2008 - 11:26Does this mean you will be doing gruuls/mag still but less often? And I'm up for whichever raids if you need a hand and I'm around.
Yes, I like to heal. No, I've never been shadow.
Zildo, that post sounded
Atar — Wed, 09/10/2008 - 11:18Zildo, that post sounded just like something I wrote a long time ago when LF1M started TK. You've got the right mind set. Things would have to be taken care of a little bit more seriously. I think it would be fun though.
I'm on gearing up my 3rd
Desteran — Wed, 09/10/2008 - 11:14I'm on gearing up my 3rd toon from Malt and many people are further along than that. I think that it is fair to assume we can hop into some t5 content. It is just important that people running this understand a few things.
-Consumables - Flask it. Do your dailes and buy consumables or have them made. It is unfair for half the raid to come prepared and the other half benefit from their sacrafice.
-Know the bosses and trash - Nothing I hate more than people expecting to be carried through content and pick up their loots and in the process wiping the raid because "I didn't know". I am sure the fights will be explained before pulls and everybody wipes raids for w/e reason but ignorance isnt an excuse.
-Save a block of time for this - These raids will typically go longer than Grull/Mag I am assuming. If you can't stay for the duration, wait until next weekend. Don't waste the time of 24 people as Aiden tries to find a replacement because "ZOMG I G2G".
I know one of the goals of Malt is a relaxed atmosphere but wiping on bosses for 2 hours that should be down in 3-4 shots is not fun. If everybody understands this I think we can get even get into the Alliance camp of MH.
The guild's been making some
Shihli — Wed, 09/10/2008 - 10:51The guild's been making some decent money off of the vial runs in SSC/TK (and would be making more if the people in attendance could remember how to kill Kael'thas ... but I digress).
If we were to rope SSC/TK into the mix for mAlt runs, we might want to consider roping the vial runs into them as well. Let the alts have fun and play games with the easy-schmeasy bosses, but once we hit Kael and Vashj have the mains and vial buyers hop in and do their thing.
As for MH, it's a bit of a pipe dream at the moment I think. Granted, "it's just MH" but it's also "just T6 content" as well. I don't think most alts are adequately geared for that place yet, and the mentality of the mAlt 25's has always been that of "get in the casual raiders, get some quick badges and T4 loot and get out - have fun while you're at it". MH would require alts to start flasking, potting, etc etc - kind of runs in the face of the original mAlt intent.
But that's just me.
I'm gonna try to wait for
Aidin — Wed, 09/10/2008 - 11:10I'm gonna try to wait for thoughts before commenting on each item...but pertaining to the Vials....
Hopefully we'd provide a clear shot right to Kael or Vash so that a more geared raid could pick it up and sell those vials for the guild bank. I'm not saying don't sell em...I'm saying less focus on downing final bosses for the raid itself.
1) What would happen to the
starstalker — Wed, 09/10/2008 - 10:361) What would happen to the smash n grabs? If one of the raids goes away, I think there will be a LOT of people left out, as many who sign up for one, dont sign up for the other.
2) Going from Gruuls to MH is a stretch, and a change in the casual nature of mAlts to something that requires more from people.
Not to be mr negative, but I just thought I'd ask these. Anyways, you know I'd help on any toon you needed no matter where the raid went =P
