OOT is Making Progress.

-
Order of Thought is a 'small' guild. Last check, we have around 150 toons (mains and alts). We're a fairly active guild reaching guild level 12 last week. Most of the people in the guild are friends, and family of those people. (I work with my main raid healer and one of the dps in RL, plus both their spouses play.) This makes for a very mature, understanding group of people. It's not that unusual to hear someone call out "brb, need to tuck in kid."

This last month, we have successfully started pulling together a crew of 10 people to work on the Cataclysm raid content. For 3 hours, twice a week (Wednesday then Monday), we're hitting Baradin Hold whenever we hold it (typically every Wednesday) and then either Magmaw in BCD or Halfus in BoT. Happily this week, Monday we got Halfus down for the first time, but didn't have the raid composition to down Magmaw. Wednesday, we got them both down! Personally, very excited to finally see that worm dead. It has been a test of my patience to get this far. Wiping regularly for 3 weeks, I personally was starting to get depressed. 100g in repairs each week is expensive without the increases to my valor point account.

Wednesday's drops included:

Argaloth

Halfus

Magmaw



I am really happy that we are finally making progress. Unfortunately, our main healer was not playing on his guild toon, but more powerfully dressed main (can you guess who from the screenie?). I am hoping desperately that this is not the only reason that we've made this progress. We only have 2 dedicated healers and a third, a priest. One out sick, or out of town on business and we're running Heroics and not raids.One slightly slow on the heals and it's a wipe fest.

So, if you're
  • looking for a guild, 
  • play or willing to transfer to horde, 
  • don't use swear words in your every day language (some of us have young kids in the room and in guild chat), 
  • don't mind a playful, friendly atmosphere, 
  • and willing/wanting to raid 2 nights a week starting around 9PM PST to midnight.
Check out the guild blog and fill out an application. Maybe someday, we'll raid together..

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

-

Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature deve...

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra...
