Elapsed Flexes: Tue Nov 18
I'm going to be hosting a raid on Nok-Karosh tomorrow (November 18th). Basically, he's a big badass wolf that drops a unique mount. The drop chance is 100%. A single mount drops per kill. The respawn rate is about ten minutes. And the mount is bind on use so there is some potential gold to be made for people who aren't super into mount collecting.
This wolf is super hardcore, though, so I need to bring an army.
I want this to function more or less like a standard raid night. We gather up at 6PM west coast time. We form a raid group of about 18-20 people. We farm the wolf until everyone has a mount.
This means roughly a three hour raid, as per our standard. For the sake of simplicity, I will be distributing the mount straight down the raid roster after each kill. This means that each player will be given ONE mount and we won't be rolling on them so there is no room for someone learning one and then trying to win another. One per customer. I say this so everyone knows precisely what they're getting into you.
*Show up, expect to fight for the whole duration of the raid. We can hang out and have fun in Mumble but we are here to win and get mounts for everybody. That means not bailing after you get yours.
*If I can't fill the raid with Downfall members, I will be using the new Group Finder tool to fill the remaining slots. Even if nobody else signs up whatsoever I WILL be running this tomorrow. If you want to come with me, sign up and get a spot.
*I would very much like to get a Warlock out there slightly early so we can get folks summoned and ready to pull as soon as possible.
That's it. I hope to see you tomorrow.

Going to a birthday party for
Jobs — Tue, 11/18/2014 - 16:40Going to a birthday party for my brother at 6:30 cst... I'll get online when I get home and see how it is going and join if possible. Good luck!
Is there room?
Feldield — Tue, 11/18/2014 - 16:32I just found out my night class was canceled, so I can be on at raid time. Is there still room for more players?
hope to join you all
badpenny — Tue, 11/18/2014 - 10:37I usu put my 5 yo daughter to bed at this time, so might be 5 minutes late. I'll do my best to run her around the house so she's tired and goes to sleep on time, lol.
Goldmane the Skinner (follower)
Mehguy — Tue, 11/18/2014 - 08:28When I logged in this morning, Bolkar was standing right in front of me (after camping him for almost 2 hours last night with no success).
I'm gonna hold onto the key for Goldmane in my inventory and will open up the cage for anyone who wants him at 5:30 PST (8:30 EST/server) before Aeolyns's Nok-Karosh raid.
If you want an easy level 100 follower and havent picked this one up yet, nows a great opportunity. The tower is located in Nagrand (coords 40, 76).

Whaaaaa....? I had the key
saedo — Tue, 11/18/2014 - 09:54Whaaaaa....? I had the key and was offering the follower to guildies yesterday. lol
Here's the deal I heard so far about it, it's "bugged". If someone gets the key without opening the cage, Bolkar will take forever to respawn. But if someone uses the key, Bolkar will respawn within the minute. I have a key, and a couple others in guild have it too due to this.
So, if you guys doing this again, more people stick around, more keys!
100% drop rate getting nerfed.
Truesnipe — Mon, 11/17/2014 - 21:34People are saying that the drop rate is going to get nerfed tonight for the "Server Maintenence". Not sure if it's true or just rumors.
Not a single one of those
Aeolyn — Tue, 11/18/2014 - 00:34Not a single one of those people has been able to provide a source for that claim. They say it's going to change to 2%. That is bogus information.
1) Blizzard doesn't tend to give such specific information when it comes to drop adjustments. They never said what the Garrosh mount drop chance would become after WoD launched and that nerf was known for over six months. Why would they tell us 2% for a hotfix they intended to do 24 hours later?
2) Again, no one can claim a source for this information. This very detailed information to not have a source.
3) It clashes with the way every other silver-border mob on the face of Draenor works.
4) The hotfix notes for the day are already out and there is no mention of this particular nerf. Blizzard likes to slip things in their patches undetected, I will grand you that. However, if they had already gone public with this information then why would they hide it now?
Rumor is rumor. No big deal
Elapsed — Tue, 11/18/2014 - 10:32Rumor is rumor. No big deal when we have the facts
there is no official blue
Mehguy — Mon, 11/17/2014 - 21:58there is no official blue post or patch notes stating this. Its just people trying to stir up the crowd to get more groups going so they can try to get their mount faster by doing some stupid master looter progression list, or ninja-ing the mount.
Count me in, w00t

For additional points on this
Mehguy — Mon, 11/17/2014 - 14:28For additional points on this fight. There is NO tanking and pretty much no healing. He will one shot a tank unless there is an immunity. Need to CC 3-4 adds that pull. Best way I've seen groups do it is priests mind control 1-2 dogs and have them tank Non along with DK army of the dead and nuke before he kills them all.
Screw the group finder and
Mehguy — Mon, 11/17/2014 - 14:25Screw the group finder and their Master Loot ninjas. Glad I saw this. I was thinking about putting one together for this weekend to let more ppl hit 100, but this works just as well.
