It’s nice to see the guild roster filling back up again.  Warhammer definitely lost a huge number of players when the Lich King hit and we felt it a bit in our line up.  People have started trickling back in, but I think we could use a few more folks online to group with.  The Alliance helps, but I would ask all members to not hesitate about recruiting new people to join our ranks.  Keep in mind our charter.  We have a pretty good core group, so let’s make sure we bring in more like minded individuals.

On a side note, I busted my thumb to the point where I had to get it X-Rayed, so I will probably be out for a couple days.

Happy Holidays!

As we all start to level there are a couple tools that should be used to help improve the overall experience of grouped content.

The first one is TeamSpeak.  This is absolutely key for RvR scenarios.  If you don’t have a mic or just don’t feel like talking, you are welcome to listen in.  Given the fast pace of most scenarios, we don’t have a lot of time to type out communications.  The teamspeak client is free and can be downloaded here.

Another tool that should be used is ISAssistTracker.  This will create a small window (that can be moved just like any other UI element) that lists the Main and Off tanks for a party.  All you have to do is click on the appropriate name in the window and you will select that target.  One thing I have noticed about good Destruction teams is that they are very good at concentrating their attacks.  We definitely need that level of co-ordination in our scenarios.  This addon can be found here.

Its been a crazy week since the launch of WAR!

• We’ve had a huge influx of great new guildies.   So much so that we’re getting close to putting the cap on recruitment for a while.
• We’ve progressed to level 5 as a guild, which get’s us a standard as well as the ability to add tactics to that standard which will give those around the standard a buff.

So what’s next?

• Deciding on our first guild tactic.  Based on discussion and feedback, we’re looking at either a Toughness or Armor buff.
• Guild colors.  I’ve had a few people ask me about our official guild colors so they could dye their armor to match.  I want to give some options for folks, so I’ll be announcing our official guild colors soon.  My first thought is Red, Black and White, but I need to look at the in game dyes to find something that works.

So stay tuned, I’ll post the decisions here first!
