Group TBD (Weekend Shift) Forming Up
Posted: October 2nd, 2012, 8:14 pm
It's on the calendar. I did a mass invite to everyone level 88 and up.
I intend for this raid to pursue heroic mode progression. I intend to have a fixed roster of 10 main raiders which I will supplement with 2-3 alts from the other raid although I may be open to having some fixed rotating spots (e.g., suppose Alan and Dustin expect to have only 60% attendance; I would combine the two of them into a single main raider spot and have them rotate weekly). This will more or less resemble the arrangement that G2 and G4 had in tier 13 = no attendance drama.
Note that this raid is the weekend graveyard shift -- Fridays and Saturdays, 9:30 PM to 12:00 AM. I'd like the guild to be in the habit of seeing people raid on this night. If you like to go out on the weekends, I'm pretty sure you can make it back home in time for a 9:30 PM Pacific time raid. If you're concerned about staying up until midnight, the only thing you'll probably miss is the early morning mass. The two primary reasons for this are to accommodate Dustin and Alan (who are fun to raid with) and because I really hated having raid nights be as far apart as possible -- G4 would raid on Wednesday night, then forget we had a second raid on Monday night five days later >_<.
For those concerned about the raid night and/or heroic modes, I expect to set up a second raid soon that will pursue normal mode raiding. I also may or may not end up being in charge of a third raid to pursue heroic modes (total 20 main roster spots for heroic raiding with alt-backfill = most elegant solution I've seen).
