Naxx!!1

Raid Zone: 
Naxx 25

Downfall's weekly 25 man Naxx. Still aiming to be in Ulduar by end of month (could be next week guys), so sign up and bring your A-Game!

Invites: 11:30am. Start time: Noon.

 

I set this event up because Torvo isn't going to be here this week.  I might end up leading the raid, not sure yet as I'm currently job hunting for the summer and could possibly be working.

 

Be on vent. If you miss something because you weren't, that was your fault for not paying attention, not ours for not catering to your strange need to not use every tool available to you.

Oh, and HAI! I hope you're all having fun... I'm getting serious about this, but I still want it to be fun, so here's a laffy taffy wrapper joke: (the text for the answer is white - highlight it to see it)

What happens when you cross a singer and a rocking chair? -- you rock to the beat.

Two important changes from last week that will continue through this week:

1. As we've geared up and become a more consistent group from week to week, the number of pieces that many of us need out of Naxx is slipping to a small pool of the most valuable gear in the instance. While our "main spec first, off spec second" roll system works well when the loot is plentiful and everyone's getting upgrades, it's not a good system for distributing highly sought after loot - nor does it guarantee that best loot will find its way back into our raid the following week.

With that in mind, and what I hope will prevent us from seeing future QQs over loot, beginning this week we're going to be using Downfall's officially sponsored FRP - Furious Raid Points. Details here. Both Salmon and Kitten use this and love it, and now we in EP1 will as well.

2. It's add on week. Install these before the raid - I'll know who doesn't have them if you think you're exempt. You're not. They'll make you a better raider and make me a better raid leader - it's what I call win-win.

  • Big Wigs (Several of you like Deadly Boss Mods... Downfall prefers Big Wigs because it's lower overhead - it doesn't use as much of your system resources. Since we have problems week-in-week-out with slow response times on everything from Thaddius' polarity shift and Heigan's dance floor to friggin frogger, I'm asking you all to trust me and use the less-system-intensive Big Wigs this week. We'll see if it makes a difference.)

Just a heads up:  I got a job, and I will be working Saturday, but it is possible that I'll be able to get off in time to be about 5 minutes late for raid.  I won't know until tomorrow.

GUILD APPS READ ME!

bluetouguyss — Wed, 05/13/2009 - 16:44

Do you really want to be in this guild?  If so this is the run for you!  We run this every Saturday at 11:30-5:00 when some of our regulars go run ulduar.  If you are new to the guild you get the opportunity to run with a lot of chill, casual but very serious raiders. 

We understand that real life>WOW but we ask that if you sign up you actually stay the whole time and not bug out early unless it is a dire emergency in which case we totally understand.   We are planning on starting up in ulduar in the next few weeks so we are throwing down the gauntlet and challenging you guys to really bring your A game the next few weeks so that we know who will be ready for the move to ulduar! 

Apps if you want to get seen and arent getting any run with kitty or salmon this is where you sign up.  I was a guild app about 10 months ago and ran this sat run religiously with torvo for months and finally got my ginvite!  Bring your A game show up on time and dont leave early that is the key to being in this guild

Leave the QQ'ing at the door!

Stryyfe — Wed, 05/13/2009 - 12:06

Let's rock this joint until it falls to the ground in front of the fortress!

Read Me

pulga — Wed, 05/13/2009 - 11:52

Need more signups.

Torvo's picture

I wouldn't worry too much

Torvo — Wed, 05/13/2009 - 11:57

We usually don't get most of our event views/signups until Thursday or Friday when the event hits the "upcoming events" box. What Blue has done really well (and me to a lesser extent) is msg people in game or via PM on here to remind them to sign up. Advise you start with the last couple weeks' worth of signups/parses, as well as the Open Guild Apps.

I can help a bit with that tonight and/or tomorrow night (depending on when I'm home and online).

bluetouguyss's picture

yea pulga I will start asking

bluetouguyss — Wed, 05/13/2009 - 16:35

yea pulga I will start asking around today and tomorrow.  kandypants and ciaphacain dont check the web site much so I have to usually catch them in game but are usually a go.  Kandy brings her prot warrior that the name I cant remember at this time.  Ryuwolf (ryuonen) and raynegrey sometimes sign up sometimes dont.  Biana I dont see on here yet but should be a go.  heavenleighh I dont see yet.  hmmm jaibyrd,vitriola, dragonfyre those are all the people I usually hit up mid week if they arent already signed up.

Kalpurnia

Torvo — Wed, 05/13/2009 - 22:26

Is Kandy's prot warrior. She also has a shaman, I believe elemental, but she usually locks it to a different Naxx25 earlier in the week. She's a solid tank, a solid shaman, and I think she even has an undergeared priest that she's brought in for Rauv once or twice, so I'd say we're in good shape no matter who she brings.

Check with Healanoid, Fusayso, and Spekk too - they are usually good bets to show as well.

healanoid will b on my side

bluetouguyss — Thu, 05/14/2009 - 17:53

healanoid will b on my side of the mountain this weekend.  He has drill for the national guard. That is why I didnt add him.

Torvo's picture

Blue and I will both be out

Torvo — Tue, 05/12/2009 - 14:24

I have total trust in Pulga and all of you to make this event a success! 

Pulga, let me know if it looks like you won't be able to make it -- with the FRP system I need to get someone set up to be lootmaster by Thursday night.

PS - Guild apps, keep up the good work and week-over-week improvements we've been seeing. I'll be checking parses, applications, and looking for feedback from the guild members running with you this week, and I want to be impressed!
