The Event Horizon!
Hail Icons!
The Legion is upon us, and it comes time to act!
The Icon raid team will be forming up, presently! We will hold an open raid meeting one coming Sunday night, so keep an eye on your in-game calendar for the sign up sheet. Those interested in "progression" raiding with Icon should plan to attend this meeting!
For those who don't know; we approach raiding the same way we approach most everything at Icon. Raiding is something we do for fun, and as a social activity with our guildies and friends. We like to, and intend to progress through content, but the priority is in doing that as a guild. We are not "hard core". We do not do performance based raiding. There's no competing for spots, and we will include anyone who wants to raid and is able to to so at even the barest minimum level. In other words, we don't bail on our friends because they aren't badass enough on Recount. Patience and a positive attitude are required.
That said, we take the progression group fairly seriously. Raiders will be expected to be knowledgeable of their spec and role, and to play it with competence. You will be expected to respond to calendar invites in a timely fashion, be reasonably punctual on raid night, and show up prepared to play. "Prepared to play" means your gear is gemmed and enchanted. You have consumables. (Food/flasks/potions) You will have a capable computer and internet connection. You will also have Deadly Boss Mods or a similar raid management add-on like Bigwigs. I prefer people use DBM, since that's what I use. That way we are all getting the same queues, and pull and break timers work for everyone, etc. I also require raiders to have, and use, Ventrilo. You are not required to speak, though I do encourage it. You are required to be able to hear me speak and give directions. I will not be typing out boss raps for that one guy....
We raid for fun, and I'm told it's fun raiding with us. So come, enjoy this aspect of the Great Game with us! My goal is always to include as many people as want to. If you have questions, ask. (Ask Parkuss!) I will work with folks of all classes, in all roles, to help them have and make a better raiding experience, so if you feel like you could use a little help, don't be shy!
We have raided on Wednesday and Friday nights for most of the past two expansions. We will discuss this year's schedule as the group comes together, and we know more about who we have to accomodate.
Again, please sign up for and attend the "pre-raid" meeting on Sunday, October 2nd.
It's not a raid until Parkuss has bunny ears.
Stay tuned to this page for more raid related "stuff"!
Parkuss out.
Woohoo!!! Love the Parkuss bunny ears!
Looking forward to kicking off the new raids and getting together with the team again. Let me know if I can do anything to help
