Scrap the DK and stick with

Atar — Wed, 04/22/2009 - 11:17

Scrap the DK and stick with your druid man. You were blowing up the meters last night. I think DF might have a place for your druid.

Thanks for filling in for us. If you're needed this week I'll be sure to give you a holla.

My DK is a farming toon now

Darthon — Wed, 04/22/2009 - 11:53

I have not been in a raid with my DK for weeks. My Druid was the 1st toon I leveled and my favorite as well. I will always raid my druid before any other toons. Thanks again.

A Good Time

Darthon — Wed, 04/22/2009 - 05:38

Had a lot of fun in the Salmon raid last night. Thanks again for having me. I will be on my druid tonight if you need someone.

What class is your favorite

Ardea — Wed, 04/22/2009 - 11:20

What class is your favorite to play?

The reason I ask is because if you are wiping on a character you don't love to play ("what ever the guild needs") then you will get burnt out and the game will stop being fun... it starts toi get old after over 100 wipes.

My advice is to pick the class you like the best, declare it as your main and come kill some stuff with us. Comments: Darth came with us last night and did an incredible job as a tree. I feel he definately pulled his weight. I look forward to seeing more... now I need to fix my grid so it only shows timers for my HoTs ;)

Druid by a Mile

Darthon — Wed, 04/22/2009 - 11:46

My Druid is my main without a doubt. I have a dk and a lock and they do not even come close to being my favorite. I tanked on my druid up until 2 months into WOTLK and decided that I wanted to go Boomkin. I switched to healing out of needs of the raids I was in and really liked it. Boomkin is great too, but I like the feeling of accomplishment when you see you little squares get all filed back up. Besides you have to be a certain kind of messed up to play a druid. Thank you for the note.

Old Screenshots

Prime8 — Mon, 04/20/2009 - 13:53

I was just looking through my screenshots folder, looking for an updated UI screenshot, and came across the screenshot I posted back when I was a guild app. Check out the recount. :D

Ah yes, the good old days

Darthon — Mon, 04/20/2009 - 15:18

I think that was just before Thoriand figured out how to top the DPS meters.....and then he quit WOW for PS3.

PS3 and dirty diapers

Prime8 — Mon, 04/20/2009 - 15:23

PS3 and dirty diapers amiright?

Not til August....Mine in May

Darthon — Mon, 04/20/2009 - 16:33

He is expecting his child in August, I am having mine in the end of May. I need my head examined.....Way to many kids.

I just had my third. First

Fjork — Tue, 04/21/2009 - 06:58

I just had my third. First chit: Wow time cut to 3-4 days a week. Second chit: w0w time cut to 1-2 days a week.

I can say what my little girls gonna do to my playtime yet because my computer was down for a week! lol

But yes. Way to many kids. Gamers shouldn't have more kids than could 4-man a heroic with their spouse........ hehe

Good luck on the new cub. Hope you get more sleep then I've been getting since April 4.

I trained mine to farm gold

Darthon — Tue, 04/21/2009 - 07:13

I have 3 with one one the way. The crazy part is that my youngest is 9....and I will have a new born. I think I might need my head examined. The 11 and 9 year olds both play and I taught them how to farm for gold. Prime calls them my chinese gold farmers. My 9 year old is actually a pretty good player. He has lead 10 man Nax, he says his mic is broken when he plays. Never an issue for him cause he likes to do it early Saturday morning when everyone from Singapore is on so there is not much talking in vent anyways. What a scam. My favorite is when he comes out and complains about the people that refuse to follow direction.

Fjork's picture

That.....is......AWESOME!!!!

Fjork — Tue, 04/21/2009 - 07:16

That.....is......AWESOME!!!! I've been trying to get my son's hunter leveled up for FOREVER on gorrgy (to farm gold for me.....), but I just haven't had the time.

My b-day present to myself is going to be a mobo, power supply, proc, hdd, and ram though. Then we can dual-box level him!!! :D

He likes leveling toons...

Darthon — Tue, 04/21/2009 - 07:21

He likes to level toons, the problem is he never wants to level the class that I want him to. I want a Shaman and he is leveling a mage. Forcing me to grind out a shaman. The best part is we play together and I am considered cool with the 9 year old crowd. Funniest thing was when I 1st went Boomkin on my druid he told me I spec'd all wrong. After a 30 minute discussion I proved him wrong.

Hey I know you!! Ur Prime's friend, I dunno why i remembered you as a druid...lol

Really glad you have been bumping your app, or I would have missed it altogether. Keep up what you've been doing!! If we have a spot in GRD, I'll be sure to hit you up.

Fjork — Mon, 04/20/2009 - 11:30

He's basically a yankee. Are you sure you want him in your raid?

Prime8's picture

Darth's no yankee fan. I

Prime8 — Mon, 04/20/2009 - 12:25

Darth's no yankee fan. I wouldn't hang out with him if he was. BTW, did you see the Indian's destroy the yankee's 22-4? That was amazing. If Hafner had hit that grand slam they would have tied the record for the biggest defeat ever in pro baseball. The Cavs beat the Pistons by 18 that same day too.

Yankee Fan...NO!

Darthon — Mon, 04/20/2009 - 12:35

I would never be a yankee fan. I live in Pittsburgh and the Pirates are the worst. Unless, you are talking about me living North of the Mason Dixon line. If that is the case I was born in South Carolina.

Aidin — Mon, 04/20/2009 - 12:43

I was born in Pennsylvania and lived in SC for 6 yrs..what a coinkidink.

So where are you now?

So where are you now? That is the real question.

The great state of Texas.

I lived in Texas - Fort Worth

Darthon — Mon, 04/20/2009 - 15:15

I grew up in the military, I lived everywhere. Just ended up here in PA.

Should have said this before.....

Darthon — Mon, 04/20/2009 - 10:30

I should have said this before, but now is as good a time as any. Although Raiding is a lot of fun, it is not the only aspect of the game. I wanted to say that after going to a few different raids with Downfall it is apparent that the relationships within the guild are very strong and everyone is social and likes to have fun. A perfect example of this is last week I had the opportunity to come to the Salmon Raid in Ulduar and everyone was super excited at the new content, and you could hear the excitment over vent. That is the type of community that I want to be a part of. A bunch of people that like to have fun and accomplish in game objectives. I could not count how many times I heard "Lets have some fun and clear this". Point being, Have fun 1st. There was no complaining or crying when we wiped, we just dusted ourselves off and took another crack at it. This is a guild that is built on relationships that happens to have success at raiding. This is a guild that is built around people that like the game and that like to talk about it. Pretty awesome.

Druid - Heals Available for Raids

Darthon — Sun, 04/19/2009 - 20:27

I wanted to put this out there that I would love to come to any raids and will be ready to go most nights should a spot open or if something comes up and you need a fill in.

Open for Any Raids this week

Darthon — Sun, 04/19/2009 - 10:58

I just wanted to post that I am open for any raids this week that may need someone to fill in. I went to Ulduar last week with you guys and had a blast. I will be in /DFrecruit and will check to see if there are any open spots. Funny thing is I posted my DK for a spot and always prefer to come on my Druid who is my main. Hope to see you there.

Committed and looking for advice

Darthon — Mon, 04/13/2009 - 06:51

I am looking for advice on keeping my app alive and taking the right steps to get invited to Downfall. With that said here is what I am doing, I would love some feedback on what additional steps I need to take.
1) Staying active here on the site.
2) Waiting in the Dfrecruit channel.
3) Being on and ready to go for the Sal'mon Raid (even if I do not get asked I am cool with that, ready regardless)
4) Signing up for the Saturday raid and being on ready to go.
5) Being available for any heroic achievement groups wanting to Test drive me.
6) Being extremely Flexible for guild needs (Respec, sit, come in late to raids, farm mats, etc.)
7) Willing to show that I am a good fit with my personality and play style.
8) Having the desire to have "Downfall" floating above my little pixel head (I look at it like an in game achievement)
Note, I would like to bring all my toons here, Darthon - Druid, Darkthon - DK, Knomar - Lock. Thanks agian for the feed back.

garreth — Mon, 04/13/2009 - 12:37

You're heading in the exact right direction. Basically, the only thing I could suggest is to make sure that you're on the bleeding edge of your class('s) theorycraft, rotations, macros, mods and performance. Being able to walk in and perform close to your max dps for your gear says you're doing your homework. Being far from your max (on, say, Patch) says we'd have to spend a lot of time teaching you.

Also, if your druid heals, get Grid, figure out what all the dots mean and learn to heal people BEFORE they take damage.

Saturday Raid

Darthon — Mon, 04/13/2009 - 06:41

I was very fortunate to be able to raid with the Saturday raid. He even let me come in on my Lock. The really cool thing was being able to raid with even more members from Downfall. I hope that I am doing the right things to continue the progression of my guild app. Once again I had fun and the people make it that much better.

Could LFSalmon raid use a

garreth — Thu, 04/09/2009 - 13:23

Could LFSalmon raid use a regular dk that we dont' already have in guild? Could Darth fit?

Hoping to fill a need

Darthon — Sat, 04/11/2009 - 11:20

I applied on my DK (DPS/Tank), However I also have a Druid ( Resto/Boomkin) that is my main. Also a Lock that I am gearing up now that I would be willing to Bring to Downfall. I am willing to spec to whatever the raid needs. I am open to any opportunity that would allow me to become a Downfall Member. I am a team player and will do whatever it takes to benefit the guild. Even if it means sitting until the time is right.
