Summer Raid Break 2018

It always comes sooner or later between expansions and it seems the time has come for Legion. I myself have reached the point where I need a break.

I absolutely LOVE raiding with everyone and this expansion has been fantastic! We've done an excellent job and accomplished our main goals of clearing every Heroic boss for Ahead of the Curve achievements AND doing the raiding meta achievements.We even went back for the Pandaria guild mount! I want to thank everyone for the awesome work you have all done. And it has been work! But it's also been a LOT of fun.

I'm officially suspending guild raiding. Of course, anyone that WANTS to raid is welcome to! Do PuGs, help out in other guilds or feel free to organize your own events within Game Theory!

I will still be on Warcraft here and there, playing around with alts (haha), but I won't be doing organized raiding until Battle for Azeroth. I fully plan to continue the guild's raiding in the new expansion and I hope all of you will join me!

Disappointed

I know I shouldn't be but this truly disappoints me. I mean seriously what do we have? Around 10 Heroic kills on the end boss in the game and now we all done wrap it up and sit for almost 4 months? Wow...again why I shouldn't be disappointed as this guild has the history to sit out for long stretches like this but still again just hard.

Guess I will work on alts and raid with other guilds as I am not even close to BiS in a lot of slots of gear and still tons of upgrades on last boss alone but others don't see it that way or don't feel that way which I respect (don't have to like it but can respect it....).

I'd prefer to keep raiding as

I'd prefer to keep raiding as well, including the timewalking raids. Dark, LMK what your raiding plans end up like.

Reach out to LoJ (League of Justice)

Reach out to Bronconator or Moonprowler. I know LoJ (League of Justice) is really wanting to get their AotC and just can't quite get it done. Maybe those that still want to raid can help them pull it together enough to get it done. Rumor has it that Moon is not playing next xpac so it would be nice for him to be able to finish the AotC with his guild group too, not just with us. They have switched up their raiding day to try to accommodate more of their raiders so I'm not sure what that day or time is right now, but I'm sure they would tell you and maybe welcome some assistance (although I can't guarantee that).

Looks like LoJ is raiding Fri

Looks like LoJ is raiding Fri and Sat. Fri 7-11p server and Sat 8-11p server so if you want to give up either or both of your Fri/Saturday nights, get in touch with Moon and see if he wants some extra people. I spoke briefly with Loreene about it because she was on and nobody else was and she thinks Moon would be open to it.

Talked with Moon. He is

Talked with Moon. He is happy to have as many dps as is interested join them. Sanz if you are interested he said to just contact him and you and he can work something out so you can join them.

Whisper Moonprowler if interested.

They use ventrillo version 3 (not the current version) if you are raid with them. It is a hosting server issue and not worth it for them to change until their contract is up so be sure you have the older version installed, you can have both installed at the same time.

They will be doing some normals to gear some people up and heroics as well then all heroics.

Thanks

Thanks Dys much appreciated because I do want to continue raiding this is way to early a break for me...I can see a month before xpac or so but almost 3 full months before is hard...

What to do?

Hey Dark!

I'm sorry you are disappointed, I truly don't want to let anyone down. :( But I'm also surprised at the expectation to raid for several months after having the final raid on farm. For the last 3 expansions, we have stopped raiding a couple months after clearing the last raid and several months before the next expansion. There's always a LONG break between expansions and raid interest just dies off.

That said if people WANT to raid, I fully encourage it! If you can raid with Moon's guild, go ahead and have fun! Me? I just don't want to. It's time for a break and between expansions is the best time. I'm also in the last 4 weeks of the school year, which makes extra work for me as I try to get all my students finished and reports wrapped up.

I'm just TIRED and I'm going to be no help to you, the guild or anyone if I'm actively dreading logging in to run people through a raid that I am bored with. It's not a good recipe for being a guild leader.

Anyway, Dark, Sanz and anyone else, I hope you can have fun raiding as long as you want! I won't stop anyone from organizing and running raids. For me, I'm on break. I need it!

For Science!

happy for a break

Hi all! I'm actually a little relieved that we're taking a break this summer. Summer normally is nuts for me and with work travel, launching child travel, and a couple of grant deadlines, I am delighted to have more flexibility with gaming time. If people are organizing things I'm happy to pop in and help out though if you need a little extra dps. I just am glad right now I don't have to commit to things.
