5-player Molten Core...?

Well last night I was unfortunately delayed in returning home which meant the Molten Core attunement began later then expected. I must apologize to those who were eagerly awaiting at 7pm which I let down by not being online for the event I had organized. I will make sure that the next time will be betterer and awesomer!

I would like to say though that we did attempt the beginning of MC and we were looking quite comfortable with our group of 5 as we successfully downed a number of Giants, Core Hounds and even 1 boss - Lucifron! Our group consisted of:

Bleater - Tank
Lexasdez - Heals/DPS
Kruzandir - DPS
Talona - DPS
Badril - DPS

We enjoyed ourselves up until the Core Hounds around Lucifron who kept on being "reignited" by other smoldering core hounds after killing them. This carried on for about 20 mins with Bleater being able to tank them for the entire duration and then also to take on Lucifron.

Unfortunately that is where we ended. We just didn't have the firepower to down the 5 core hounds at the same time to stop them from respawning so in a last ditch attempt we tried to take on the vile beast Magmadar! We failed. We can say though we did put in a good effort for the Knights of Ni.

Each member of our little raid successfully attuned themselves to Molten Core so no more long runs through BRD to join the next jaunt we plan for the Core. I will look at running again over the weekend sometime the attunement and if we have enough members we can try again.

ps. if any of the lads from the run last night managed to take a screen shot let me know as I totally forgot!

Attunement time for MC and BWL

Well the time has come for our guild to reap the benefits of the Molten Core (MC) and Black Wing Lair (BWL)! However, before we can all embark on this epic adventure we first need to have ourselves attuned to the depths we need to descend to in order to reach these treasures. I will tell you now that this will not be an easy task and many of you will die a horrible deat.....oops, sorry! Wrong speech...uhm...ok!

My plan at this stage is to have an attunement period run over the course of a weekend or even a week where we have a number of level 80 volunteers (now known as Elite's) available to run those eligible guild members through Black Rock Depths and Upper Black Rock Spire purely for the attunement for MC and BWL and not an instance achievement. This is in preparation for raids on MC and BWL in the near future so that we can all be ready to roll without having to clear the dungeon just to get to the instance.

I will need some Elite volunteers who are able to assist in these "runs" as it can take a little while for myself to get members through safely being a rogue. Perhaps if this is run over the course of a weekend at first to see how the numbers go but I'm thinking that maybe we have both attunements run twice a day which would mean having maybe 2 Elite's ready to roll at set times. Depending on our time zones etc I was thinking a run at 10am for both MC and BWL and then a run at 7pm for MC and BWL again, both at server time. This way we can maybe capture most guildies and would allow for people to maybe do one in the morning and the other in the evening.

We always have the option of just running it ad hoc so whenever there is enough interest and a lvl 80 is available then go. Please remember that these attunements can also be accomplished in a raid group so if we have enough we can run 25 (or is it 35...anyone able to clarify that?) people through at a time.

I would like to hear some thoughts or feedback and if you are willing to volunteer as an 'Elite'. Once I have an understanding of peoples mindsets then we can make a definite time. I am tentatively booking the weekend of June 26 when the Fire Festival is on as I'm sure we will have a number of guildies come online over that time.

Let me know guys, if we don't communicate then we won't survive!

Down Time

Greetings all Knights,

Well it has been some time now since my last post. It is always a pleasure playing WOW with you all. It is unfortunate we loose some of our players for a number of reasons, including the ones that like to try and take what does not belong to them. I do not understand why a player would act in a way that is inappropriate by all standards and run the risk of getting Black Listed for all time.
Anyway for the most part WOW is a fun place to be to meet new people from all parts of the world and kill them... LOL
Anyway, to let everyone know, I will be off line for a few days starting on the 8th of this month, close to a week? I am moving house which is always lots of fun as some of you might know first hand. I do hope my move is pain free, but things do have a way of happening with no prior notice.
Also this is to inform some of you knights that you must be very careful when talking to any of these call centers. I know first hand that they are selling or giving away your details to scammers who do in fact try to get further details to try and rip you off, this is real life people not game life. Never give any of your personnel details over the phone to anyone. These 3rd world countries are full of thieves and will try anything to get what you have for themselves.
Anyway Knights, have fun with WOW and I look forward to playing with you all always.

Midsummer Fire Festival June 21 - July 4

Ah, so you weren't chosen for Flamekeeper this year? Don't fret, my friends! The Midsummer Fire Festival isn't merely about that traditional honor; it's a time of merriment, a chance to celebrate the hottest season of the year by lighting great fires across the land and sharing in what the elemental spirits can offer. Visit the Fire Festival camps and join in the revelry!

Tending the Flames

Across Azeroth, brilliant bonfires have been lit to signify the hottest months of the year. The chosen Flamekeepers are eager to ensure they continue burning long into the days and nights of the celebration - and they seek the aid of able explorers in doing so. Traverse the land and delve into dangerous dungeons at their behest. You may return hot, sweaty, and a little sooty...but these spiritual guides understand well the need to reward adventurers beyond the promise of "enlightenment."

Joining the Festivities

Every city has a prominently located Fire Festival camp where you can pick up quests to participate in the Festival fun. Shattrath City has a camp as well, but it does not offer all of the quests. The Midsummer Fire Festival has plenty to offer to both high level and lower level characters. By doing the quests and visiting the flames around the world, characters will earn gold, experience, and perhaps participate in some World PvP and exploration. In addition, groups of maximum level characters can summon a new boss with epic rewards for the duration of the event. Characters of all levels can turn in Burning Blossoms for unique Fire Festival rewards.
