Healing

Which days are you available for organized guild events? (Raids, RBGs, etc): 
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday

Friday
Saturday
Sunday
UI
Upload UI: 
Which addons do you consider essential and why?: 
I use lots of mods, probably too many. Grid is a key part of my UI specifically for healing. DBM is also a must in any raid - also useful for heroics to an extent until you've ran them as much as most people have by now.
PvE
Raid Experience: 
Didn't raid classic, during BC I tanked as a warrior in Kara, ZA, Gruuls, Mags, and parts of SSC. The old server was terrible and had like 1 guild that was good and I wasn't down for a guild similar to this servers epidemic.
Personal
What timezone are you in?: 
Texas
Tell us a little about yourself.: 
Generally nice guy that probably plays too much wow...
Open/Closed: 
Closed

I can't speak for who is or

Aeolyn — Thu, 02/04/2010 - 01:50

I can't speak for who is or isn't going to show up for the raid Monday and I really don't have the authority to tell you what to do as far as getting locked out or not.


But I -can- tell you what is dead in the KB raid thus far. Which is: Marrowgar, Deathwhisper, Gunship, Saurfang, Festergut, Rotface, Putricide, Blood Princes, and Valithria.


Oh, as well as some random Valkyr mini boss that dropped an emblem and the ICC weekly.

There's always a chance,

Shihli — Thu, 02/04/2010 - 01:45

There's always a chance, however I'd say you should be safe to pug it this week.

I apologize if it feels like I'm stringing you along - it's a little hard to predict sometimes when spots will be open or not on a given night.  You've got stellar patience and a good attitude though.

Oh no its fine I mean part of

giws — Thu, 02/04/2010 - 03:39

Oh no its fine I mean part of the app questions was about wait time ;) Just if it look slike I wont make it in this week I would like to *try* and pug it to get some emlbems at least ^^

Shihli — Sat, 02/06/2010 - 14:46

I'd personally love to get you into guild.  However, there's a reasonable chance you may not make it into raid every night or every week.

That said I want to talk with the other guild and KB officers and see what we can do for you.  You're a great player, already geared and skilled, with a great attitude and I'd hate to miss the opportunity to raid with you more.

I haven't interacted with

Derchlon — Sat, 02/06/2010 - 15:27

I haven't interacted with this fellow, but if Shihli says:
1.  Geared
2.  Skilled
3.  Great Attitude

I say get him in.  I'm guessing the hold up is the "can we keep you busy?" question.

If he can make our raid

garreth — Wed, 02/03/2010 - 10:23

If he can make our raid times, get him.

Let's talk Grid...where is

Aidin — Tue, 02/02/2010 - 10:15

Let's talk Grid...where is it?  Need help setting it up?

Someone with half a brain on this server doesn't have Pancakes on ignore??????  Are you a glutton for punishment sir? ;)

Grid is there ;) big square

giws — Tue, 02/02/2010 - 18:17

Grid is there ;) big square on the left. For regular parties i have it alot bigger than default size. The size is smaller for raids. 

As for pancakes not being on ignore, I really dont ignore anyone. I added like 15 people yesterday cause they were spamming /yell in [orcish] in dalaran but besides that no1 gets ignored :D

Aidin's picture

Oh wow! there it is!!  I

Aidin — Wed, 02/03/2010 - 09:56

Oh wow! there it is!!  I didn't see it way over to the left like that, I'm partial to a centered grid so i can watch my feet (grid tunnel vision gets bad) Not only do you have grid, you look like you've put some time into it's set up...KUDOS.

...i love ignore...keeps dbags from making me gouge my eyes out with rusty spoons...lol

Just a casual comment, no

Joseph (not verified) — Tue, 02/02/2010 - 09:39

Just a casual comment, no meaning to the app tho. Was in a pug ToC 25 yesterday and I think you went offline and never came back without telling anybody.

Internet went out for ~ 4

giws — Tue, 02/02/2010 - 18:22

Internet went out for ~ 4 hours last night cause of a storm =\ Hard to let someone know when it just dies and I know no1 in the raids # ;D

Pancakes

talisdar — Tue, 02/02/2010 - 08:26

Why is Pancakes not on ignore?  I have that dude ignored on bank alts for crying out loud.

UI looks good, I see a big thing missing, Grid.  99.9% of Downfall uses Grid with Clique. (unofficially)

Not sure what the add-on your using is called.  But I did notice key bindings on your heals.  Cool for macros, but causes you to take two actions while healing.  In some of the content we are facing 1/10th of a second can make or break the fight.  What you have make work good for you.  For myself when Downfall gave me a Grid crash course.  I had already been using grid with clique, they taught me how to do it better!!!!

 

Grid is there, and i use

giws — Tue, 02/02/2010 - 18:15

Grid is there, and i use mouseover macros. :)

Shihli — Sat, 01/30/2010 - 14:33

I'll talk with the other officers soon about getting your application finished up.  You know your stuff and seem like a likeable guy, and I have a feeling that Kitten Brigade will need your heals more in the near future.

It's nice to see someone so

garreth — Sat, 01/30/2010 - 14:33

It's nice to see someone so active in game/on the site. Made a great impression so far. 

Just seeing how its going :D

giws — Fri, 01/29/2010 - 17:25

Just seeing how its going :D Hope to be there on monday for whatever raid yall decide to do ^^.

giws — Fri, 01/29/2010 - 20:04

doh went out to dinner and when was back didn't check website, is there a calendar that I can be looking at for ones that i need to show up to during app? I think I ran with KB in the ICC/ToGC and didn't see them having a raid tonight.

/calendar

Yah I saw that :D,

giws — Fri, 01/29/2010 - 21:33

Yah I saw that :D, just didn't see KB raiding tonight on it. Should I just be online for as many of any of the groups? Was told that one of the groups definitely wouldn't need a resto shaman so assumed they wouldn't want me on for that so was just looking for KB raids.

Aidin's picture

KB and Salmon are the main 25

Aidin — Sat, 01/30/2010 - 12:26

KB and Salmon are the main 25 man raids.  Poker Face is a raid that is combined of members of both raids and guild apps.

Ahh icic nice to know, thanks

I really like this app.  Stay

Atar — Thu, 01/28/2010 - 07:16

I really like this app.  Stay active on the site.  Sign up for raids if you're available and if you sign up actually BE ONLINE.  Join /dfrecruit if you haven't already.


Good luck on your app.

Hello sir or madam, and

Aidin — Sun, 01/24/2010 - 09:54

Hello sir or madam, and welcome to the Dowfall recruitment process. If you fancy a quick invite, have thin skin, or like purps over people then don't waste your time reading what follows, just press on now.  If you are a skilled player, or even a player in need of a little molding, and you have time to dedicate to dead bosses, and to a community of people that do more together then play a video game, then here's a few things for you.

Recruitment Process

Step 1 Application :
Well you've already completed this step by taking the time to complete our lengthy application.  Some think it's silly, we have documented proof that it easily weeds out the douchebags before wasting too much of our time.

Step 2 Who are you? : Type /join dfrecruit in game.  This will put you in our global chat channel for recruits.  You'll find lots of Downfall members in that channel often shouting for people for random heroics.  This will get your name out there, let people get to know you.  The more people you get to know, the more people will begin to comment on your application, and thus keep it "alive"

Until you start to get comments from those who excel in your class, or those who have nice/not so nice things to say about you as they get to know you, it's up to YOU to keep your application active, it's not just a matter of posting and never coming back, we are a website oriented guild, get used to using it.

Step 3 Be There : Be online during raid times, its even better if you're on from start to finish, since people will DC mid raid.  If you're apping to raid, it's a long and gruelling process.  We DO need consistant skilled players for both 25 man raids, and you're not the only person trying to get that spot.  What we like to see is our apps posting on the raid events that they are available to fill in on a given night.  Then if you've posted that you're going to be on that night, make sure to shout our a reminder in dfrecruit just as raid is about to start just to let us know you're on. It may be weeks, it may be months before you see action, but you may end up with a spot the first time you join the recruit channel.

All questions regarding raid invite status for Kitten Brigade should be directed Zariyah in game, or alt Sainttaryn.

All questions regarding raid invite status for Salmon should be directed Ataraxia.

Please do not bother the other raid leaders, they have lots to do already.


Well that's what you can expect for the next few weeks/months.  We've had applicants that have waited over 3 months for an invite, we've invited people within a few days, every situation is different. So get you're name out there, get some comments, and good luck to you!
