MS/OS

Apr10

Last night we did BWD with 4 pugs, two of which ended up joining the guild. I’m not sure if that was because Jan was trying to enforce loot council on half pugs or because they liked us. I’ve said time and time again I really don’t like loot council, I’m ok with rolling MS need, OS need, greed, etc even in a group with the same people. Then you can’t very well get bitchy that someone made a decision you did not like, because a roll is a roll.

We got three bosses down then failed repeatedly on Atramedes. We had two shamans healing so I was tank healing on disc this time but I felt like I had to do quite a bit of raid healing as well. One of the shamans, Fatalty, was being quite the douche during some of the fights by yelling that people needed to get in his range to heal, screaming MOVE MOVE when he was targeted with the flame on Atramedes, etc. Funny how when I heal with Nilv and Almasi, range isn’t a problem, we just all spread out to be in range of everyone.

At one point during the raid that guy casually mentioned he was streaming our raids, which he did not ask beforehand if it was ok. I record myself playing so, I really didn’t have a problem with it, and his video was not working so he was just streaming vent. However a few people took issue with it and asked him to stop. He took it offline, which I was watching on my second monitor, then brought it back up shortly after. They told him again, to turn it off. He did for a few minutes then turned it back on again. He was told if he didn’t stop he’d be booted from the raid, so he was, and threw a fit asking what the big deal was, he was trying to get his video working, blah blah. Well the point was, you were asked by the RL to stop, and didn’t. He raged in vent before leaving, including a ‘fuck you guys” and such. Class act.

I’m beginning to think that Maloriak will never drop my trinket too.

Just wait a sec!

Last night we got the twin dragons down, but did not get Ascendant Council even after many many tries. Of course, losing an experienced tank and raid leader, really, really hoses a raid group.

On a side note, the number of people that have no patience, really amazes me. Last night we had a tank asked if anyone wanted to run a random. I said yes on my priest, switching, and by the time I switched over, he has already queued for, and was in an instance. Then later someone asked if we had room in the raid for them, otherwise they would just log, and by the time I pulled up the calendar (literally 5 seconds later), and was about to type “let me check” they had already logged off. We’re talking in under 30 seconds to a minute in both cases. I don’t get it.

Epic Meltdown

Last night there was a minor tiff between Pauldie and Seanjohn, he logged off, logged in the warlock, gave me the arena team, left it, left guild, logged in Pauldie, gave the guild to Seanjohn, then left the guild. This was while we were trying to form up for the raid tonight. We were all kind of in shock since there was no warning, other than what I was told the night prior about going to another server. We spent at least an hour and a half regrouping and ended up getting Chimaeron and Halfus down before calling it for the night.

That’s not how things work

The short of it, I was right, Brdlady left guild today after bitching about not getting in raids, after her friend Shafoxx threw a fit and also left. This was during a raid so most of us didn’t have time to properly address the bitching, either.  Jan was trying to explain the logistics of why you don’t swap out new people into a raid all the time, but they didn’t care.

The difference there was she was at a 25 man raid, and we were doing 10.  Obviously everyone that wants to go, can’t go when you need to drop 15 people.

Ok, you go “plug it better”.  Pugging these raids, right now, won’t work, but GL with that.

We got down the Conclave of Wind, and all but the last boss in BWD.  No cloth dropped, and I recorded Atramedes, but we’ll see how that gets put together since my screen is kind of spazy looking around for people to heal and bubble.

Druids are funny

I spent most of today herbing and put around 15 flasks in the GB.  Also did a few TB battles and in the second one, we took it back.  I ran into Rexe a few times here, so my pvp mage friend is back in the action.

As I’m out herbing in Twilight Highlands, I drop down to get a Cinderbloom and a druid named Elini calls me an “herb stealer”.  I pm them and say that’s funny coming from a druid and they say ‘not this druid’ knowing full well, I’m sure, their rep for being node stealing whores.  But, let’s be honest.  It wasn’t a Twilight Jasmine, it was a Cinderbloom.  They spawn in Twilight Highlands, Uldum, Hyjal, Tol Barad, Deepholm… basically EVERYWHERE.  I don’t even bother picking them up sometimes they are so common.

Later, since we didn’t have enough people on for the raid, we run Throne of Tides but the helm upgrade I wanted didn’t drop.  I died twice but the run went fast and overall very well, and IMO there are parts in this dungeon where dying is a little inevitable.

After that I run with Jan and Pauldie helping with TB dailies, which I had done earlier, then we run a few bgs before I have to log,
