GTA THURSDAYS.  LET'S GO TEAM

I'm going on break.  I have literally not missed raiding at all.  And no, I have not been raiding on BC.  

I have intensely missed all of you however.  I look forward to trying to make it to Bash's achievement runs and hopefully you guys will get back into doing GTA thursdays!

I've tried to do GTA thursday the last two weeks.  Nobody shows up.

I wanna do GTA thursday a lot more than play WoW.

I'm okay with this.  As long as it's not Friday or Saturday.

 

Never going to happen! I heal...not deeps...my mage is for deeps

 

Don't do it Summa! First they're going to tell you we just need you to dps one fight. Two weeks later you wake up a full time dps twitching for a little healing action. Once full blown healing withdraw sets in you're forced to do alt runs just to a little healing action.

 

This man speaks the truth

Never going to happen! I heal...not deeps...my mage is for deeps

Why not both?  Atonement time!

Tons of people on GTA last night, around 5-10 mins after Moot disconnected from TS. Not sure where Snug was for this

Nope.  We were on from 7:30 till 8:30  then on TS till midnight afterwards.

I logged in to see if we'd actually do something, but as it turns out... no, just getting murdered repeatedly was the only thing on the agenda, so I left.

You shithead.  I wanted you to get in TS so I could ask you if you wanted to do something.  But no, you refused then left.  We were just messing around till you hopped on TS.

Me and moot were on from 7:30 to 8:30.  Nobody else came on except for bash for a little bit.

Way to be a jerk Snugg

 We has no ranged now

Yeah, I guess a bunch of ranged just up and took breaks all at once, huh?

Time for summa to go shadow?

Sounds good Skulls!

Everyone else:  Who else is coming tonight?  You really want at least four people.

Sorry to hear that, hope you get well soon buddy!

Who's down for some GTA this Thursday?  @Phobia, @Iammoot, @Nerita, @Thebestdk, @Mythosaur, hell even mort can come!

Tisk, you make me sad

Yeah, and I keep missing your pokes and whatnot.  Sorry!  Just been super busy lately.

GTA Thursday?

Taking another week off I think.  At this point I'm probably coming back next week but I need another week off.

 

 

 

What do you expect I'm a goat. I'm always hungry.

 

 

But for power?  Now I'm imagining a goat body with your head on it and it's plotting to take over the world.  And it's cackling maniacally.  Now that would be a power-hungry roqwell goat.

 

It's times like these that I wish I had any artistic ability whatsoever so I could just draw it.

 

 

Nailed it!

Bad power-hungry goat.  Bad!

You probably deserved it

D3 on console feels a lot like gauntlet.  It has a much more action-packed gameplay feel to it.  It's also just a lot of fun to play with buddies on a couch.

D3 on computers feels more like a "Chase the carrot" type of game.  You are always trying to get better gear, better sets, progress a little higher in grifts, etc.  It is a lot of fun though, would recommend.

Also, you guys can think what you want.  I'm honest in what I tell you guys and lay things out there.  if you don't believe me, nothing I say will convince you otherwise.

Noticing you arent playing WoW to play WoW isn't dumb.

That's an impossible statement.  You cannot ascertain that I am not playing WoW to play WoW.  You can ascertain that I am not playing Live WoW and playing BC but correlation =/= causation.  Correlating me playing BC and not playing live WoW doesn't mean that me playing BC is the cause of me not playing WoW.

Believing that correlation equals causation however, is in my opinion dumb.  Since you would have to believe that correlation = causation to make the assumption, that assumption is indeed dumb (At least according to what I believe is dumb).

I've been programming a lot lately.  I think it's changing the way I think.

Go ahead and spam refresh that page tonight, you won't see me on.  Because I have stuff to do.

Not like it matters anyways.  If I do decide to take a break, I may indeed sometimes play WoW BC during ATR raid times.  That doesn't mean that I quit to play BC.  You guys are either being dumb or trying to troll me.

Goddamnit

Swap Prime Minister Roqwell for our Officer lost in time [emoji14]

Haha not lost in time.  See my attendance post.

Regarding the topic at hand.  We have to evaluate it as a progression thing roqwell.  Heroic Archimonde is very difficult and we could use all the help we can get from gear.  That means making sure that we are as prepared as possible and have the items that people need to perform at their best.  This mainly comprises of tier tokens, weapons and trinkets but just warforged/gemmed pieces of loot also help us out.  It makes more sense to farm the gear now when we have resets rather than to get Archimonde and think "oh man, we really need more gear.  I really wish that we had been farming gear for the past 8 weeks.  Well now we're 8 weeks behind!".

With that being said, I think that the number of people who still need gear from the first 6 bosses is low enough that we could probably only do them once every 2-3 weeks.  I think that dropping them completely is a bad idea given how difficult heroic archi is and considering that people do still need gear.

Edit:  I think the biggest problem is the length of time a lot of these bosses take.  Trash isn't too awful for the most part (Though there is a lot) but the bosses themselves take so freaking long, even the easy ones.  Blizz really needs to cut it down to something more manageable.

Hey guys, I need to take a week off to take care of some things and do some thinking on whether or not I want to take an extended break from WoW.

I find myself not enjoying playing WoW and haven't been for months.  It's not hard for anyone to notice that I literally log in for raid and that's all.  I love this guild and the players and that's the only thing that's kept me coming for the last 3-4 months.

My biggest qualm is that I want to do stuff with you guys, but stuff that I actually, you know, enjoy.  I'd love to play GTA, D3 etc.  But I find myself busy on most nights that aren't raid nights.  I'd rather do stuff with you guys on off nights and schedule RL things during raid nights.  I just don't have a ton of free time on most weeks for extended gaming periods and would like to spend it with you guys doing something I enjoy rather than doing something that's boring to me.

I had a TON of fun in this xpac prior to HFC.  I'd say the fun started waning in BRF but it was still enjoyable.  HFC the raid is fine but there's literally nothing else keeping the game fun other than raiding, and we've already been raiding the same bosses for three months now with no end in sight because the end will be when legion comes out.

I'm not sure if the pros outweigh the cons of taking a break so give me a week or two to think about it, alright?

Cutting off comments of quitting live to play BC - That's silly, it's fun but not nearly as fun as playing with you guys.  It holds my interest right now but I'll probably be sick of it in a few weeks.  I also have no plans of doing scheduled raiding on the server.  If I'm doing scheduled, organized raiding, it's gonna be with you guys and gals.

You also have my apology for not posing this prior to raid yesterday.  My bad.
