Naxx25!!1
It's high time Downfall had a weekend raid. EP1 (Exclamation Point+1) started as a Kara raid last fall, and we got pretty damn good at that (admittedly easy) content in less than a month. Now we're doing it with Naxx, with our eye on Ulduar after 3.1. From all the interest in game chat, last week's 10s, and what I've seen here on the board, we have more than enough to get this together!
This is NOT a one week run. We want to turn this into a regular weekly thing.
Who we're recruiting: Any and all comers. Mains - if you're not in Salmon or Kitten (or just missed out on those runs that week), we'd love to have you. Alts - Come level your gear with us! We'd love to have your experience. Guild Apps - EP1 has been the launchpad to get apps into the guild in the past. This is a great chance for you to get to know us (and vice versa).
What we're running: Naxx25. The first couple of weeks will likely be learning runs, so come prepared to take a lump or two. Some of us have run it a lot, some of us will likely be running it for the first time. That's fine either way - I only care that you're willing to listen and learn, and that you are open to adjusting when we screw up. There's no reason we can't aim for achievement runs once we get familiar and geared. We WILL clear it.
Time: The raid will START at Noon server. Invites go out at 11:30. If you sign up, try and be on by 11:30 - if you know you'll be late, let me know in the comments so I don't give your spot away. Because we're doing this as a group for the first time, expect a full clear to take 5 hours. Maybe more, maybe less. But it's going to take some time, so it's important we start on time. I'm willing to go as late as 6pm if needed, but hopefully it won't come to that.
Other stuff: Loot will be done on a standard roll system, with mainspec first and offspec second. No preference, seniority, point systems, etc.
Makeup: 3 tanks. 7 healers. 15 DPS.
Signups: When you sign up, let me know what toon you want to bring (or if you can bring more than one, even better). If you are able to come as multiple specs, that'd be good to know too :) I'll do my best to accomodate your preference.
Most importantly: This is going to be fun! It is a game after all...

spek — Fri, 04/17/2009 - 10:46Holy priest
Kynleigh (not verified) — Sat, 04/04/2009 - 05:23Would love to get an invite for a Downfall raid - being a guild app. I am COH spec'd and would love to try out my new ui.
Yes pulga and sid=super
bluetouguyss — Thu, 04/02/2009 - 18:33Yes pulga and sid=super tanks!!! lol I love running with those two guys. That leaves one slot for another tank jayel maybe? Or of course I can tank but then you lose my leet deeps! Just tryin to break it all down
What's great is my semster
pulga — Thu, 04/02/2009 - 17:51What's great is my semster ends the first week of May, so I'll be even more available. Until then, I'm on a week-by-week basis.
we will always need your
bluetouguyss — Thu, 04/02/2009 - 16:54we will always need your heals noid lol.although with rayne, leighann, jai, noid and torvo that would be a pretty nice group of healers!!! I am really looking forward to seeing how this group progresses!
and another one
Noidling — Thu, 04/02/2009 - 16:31I also can't come this Sat, but am very interested in following Saturdays, work permitting of course. I have my holy priest, don't mind respeccing shadow if need be, and I have my dps DK. Once I am able to get some decent tanking gear for my DK I wouldn't mind switching to a tank spot with him.
Wow!
Torvo — Thu, 04/02/2009 - 16:05For all of you who are interested in the raid but can't make it this week, no big deal! We'd love to have you any weeks you can make it. The beauty of having a casual weekend raid is that all of us - myself included - have lives outside of the game and won't be able to make it from time to time... Especially while we're just starting this up and nobody has developed the habit of being online for it. There won't be any retribution or punishment because you couldn't make the first run. Truthfully, I'm just overwhelmed with all of your enthusiasm!
I'll have the invite for next Saturday up after this week's run finishes, so that I can make adjustments if needed.
And if anyone knows any healers for this week, have them come sign up! Right now it looks like we have 2 - provided Leigh's cool coming as an Ent - and it's a firm 7 that we'll need.
Healing is my current spec so
Leighann — Thu, 04/02/2009 - 19:25Healing is my current spec so i'm good to go!

jaibyrd — Thu, 04/02/2009 - 09:50This Saturday I will not be able to come ;-( but I'm hoping their might be a spot open the following week. Glad to see this.I so want to be a healer for this raid either disc (currently) or I'll respec holy if you wish, up to you.

Boel — Wed, 04/01/2009 - 17:45I would love to do this most weekends, but can't make it this Saturday : / Good luck with the run!

Ensidious — Wed, 04/01/2009 - 16:26jus to notify yall, speed said he'd try to come on his priest, if he can wake up early enough :P
I'll never be on before ~12:30 on Saturdays
Jayel — Wed, 04/01/2009 - 09:44But if you need a fill in I can tank, heal or be DPS on the pally or bring in my lock if you need ranged DPS
Probably need Lock DPS or heals
Torvo — Wed, 04/01/2009 - 16:16Get on as close to 12 as you can. We can always meet and clear trash until you show... I'd rather bring you at 12:30 than pug the spot and right now it looks like we won't have a full 25 signups by Saturday.
Turns out my wife works the
Jayel — Thu, 04/02/2009 - 21:26Turns out my wife works the morning shift so I can be on earlierI(as in start time) as long as I find something good to keep my kids busy.
For some reason I was
Jayel — Sat, 04/04/2009 - 10:35For some reason I was thinking this was on Sunday. I'm not going to be available today since we are having a party for my daughter who just turned 1.
I'll come on my ret pally
chrislow — Wed, 04/01/2009 - 11:44I'll come on my ret pally (geared, i promise), kerrygetz

Scaron — Wed, 04/01/2009 - 07:57Although I can't come this week (thus no signup), I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for future dates if you need peeps.
Oh...and I'd be coming on Scaron.
That's cool - sign up for
Torvo — Wed, 04/01/2009 - 16:14That's cool - sign up for next week when the event gets posted. I'll probably throw it up shortly after this week's raid ends.
Will do, thanks!
Scaron — Thu, 04/02/2009 - 19:38Will do, thanks!
I'm interested to start
Deje — Wed, 04/01/2009 - 07:51I'm interested to start coming regularly on Fartblast. However, my schedule until the 18th of April doesn't let me raid on saturdays. I've got 3 make-ups in a row on Saturdays starting at 3:30 (12:30 server) and ending at 9:30.
I'm looking to start up a regular 10-mans group as well on Fartblast, hit me up in-game if anyone's interested.
That's cool - keep dropping
Torvo — Wed, 04/01/2009 - 16:12That's cool - keep dropping by, we'll be posting the event weekly. When your schedule frees up, start signing up!
I'm interested. I has tank.
pulga — Tue, 03/31/2009 - 22:55I'm interested. I has tank.
ummmm I dont think apok has
bluetouguyss — Tue, 03/31/2009 - 19:09ummmm I dont think apok has the gear for 25 man naxx yet imho. I mean it is just a ret pally spot and his dps numbers did look alot better so maybe but he still had greens last I saw.
I hear you, but I also like
Torvo — Wed, 04/01/2009 - 16:10I hear you, but I also like to reward enthusiasm and interest, and he has both in spades. He says he's been running heroics this week to gear up.... Looking at his WOWArmory profile, he's only got 2 greens left - Libram and Trinket - and his purples have increased since last weekend too. I think he'll be fine... If not, we kick him at 1230 when Jay comes online ;-)
Note to myself...
Torvo — Tue, 03/31/2009 - 18:44Apocalyptik mailed me in game that he plans to come. DPS Pally.
Tank or if we need range,
Ananaras — Mon, 03/30/2009 - 23:19Tank or if we need range, which we always do, Ill bring my mage.
Blue your happy tank or
bluetouguyss — Mon, 03/30/2009 - 22:24Blue, your happy tank or boomkin reporting for duty sir!!! just dont ask me to heal and we will be fine although I can do that if I have to I guess. Sid you sure you gonna make it on time this week??? lol ;) I keeed I keeed
