“we r starting with ULD not so much for gear but for raid experience and players can b less geared and i believe that there are a few drops people r after from there, however we will be aiming to move onto 25 TOC content. also we initially tried to set up colaborative runs with other guild so there would b minimal need to pug but it jus didnt happen repeatedly.. It would b awesome if we could set it up and plz put forward any guild that would like to help. But simply put we want to have a 25man hence its current structure.”
Sure, I am thinking that with the release of 3.3 and Icecrown Citidel,
we should go one of two ways:
1. Hammer it very hard with our pretty well-equiped 10-man crew.
2. Grow our main raiding crew to 25-man and change that to the
guild dynamic for the new instance.
Whichever way we go, we should have an idea when the release hits what our
direction is and maybe plan our raiding now to correspond. If you want to go
for guild progression, you probably should consider dropping all other raids
except ToC heroic when ICC is released.
Oh, and 25-man pug groups would be much easier with the new cross-realm queueing.
If I do run across a 10-man group to combine with for 25-mans, I will see what I can do.
One thing we could do is pick a couple nights and advertise it on the realm forum.
BTW, we could also have our guys log on on a given raid night and look to join up
with another guild’s 25-man run (whether Ony, Ulda, Arch). Whether we go full 25-man
or stay 10-man for ICC, that experience, and potential gear, will only help us.
“RE:- 2nd raid group times.. we would want the 2 to be running concurrently or work out times suited to them and assume that they will be doing TOC, ULD and ONY.. ULD has simply been mentioned so that it maximises range of available players gear wise initially. Tho as ASAP move to raiding afore mentioned raids.”
Understandable. I do hope it works. The problem I see is a shortage of tanks/healers,
limited group distribution, and a lack of a willing raid leader. Those issues are easier to
address when we are all in one group.
“Site promo... IDK what else to do we do ask for people to post and check out website.. mayb i'll throw it into guild welcome again.”
Sure…..and just using it a bit, as we are now, encourages others! Also, if people
express a desire to get more involved in raiding, maybe encourage them to introduce
themselves on the forums so folks know who they are. Also, it helps if the officers post
their thoughts about guild direction and such.
