Calendar Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hi everyone, I hope you're all having a blast questing and exploring the new expansion. I know many of our guild members have hit level 85 already (congratulations!) and I'm sure it won't be much longer until the majority of the Clan is maxed out So as many of you know, I retired from raid leading after WotLK and I'm not looking to get into anything overly complicated for Cataclysm. I do however have a keen interest in trying to put together some more "casual" style activities (i.e. somewhat like Kailand's old Monday Classic Runs). More specifically, I want to try and put together a PvP night once a week. It would be totally casual, with a focus on building guild cohesion and help players get some PvP gear. The way I want to set this up: - There will be a calendar event from 8 to 11 server time - Invites go out to anyone and everyone who is interested (or has in the past demonstrated an interest) - We hit the Rated Battlegrounds and melt some alliance face! If we don't get enough players we'll PuG it up as best we can and if we get too many we'll try and get two groups going. If you are interested (even if you're not level 85 yet) and want to be on the invite list send me a shout either on the forums or in game. Yay PvP! Yay kicking Alliance in the ballsack! Yay madness! See you on the battlefield, Zu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calendar Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 I'll start the invites after the holidays (likely the first week of January). I might start off with a guild wide invite, just as a means of getting an initial base of folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calendar Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Alright folks, I'm giving up on Rated BGs (for now)! I've quickly come to realize that Rated BGs are to PvP what Raids are to PvE. They are simply not feasible with a group of casual players. You need dedicated, committed and geared individuals in order to get any amount of noticeable progression. A lot of folks had joined the fray in the hopes of using the Wednesday Night PvP as a means of gearing up. Unfortunately, looks like you need to have the gear to begin with (not the other way around). However, if... Rated BGs are to PvP what Raids are to PvE it would seem that Arena is to PvP what Heroics are to PvE. So I'll be switching my Wednesday Nights to instead focus on Arenas. My plan is to organize folks on the roster into sets of Arena teams. Maybe 2 or 3 3v3 groups and 1 5v5, I don't know, we'll see. Small Arena teams helps folks get Conquest Pts quicker and also forces them to learn how to play with one another. If you're still interested and will be showing up on Wednesday, be prepared to spend some time dealing with administrative stuff while we get teams organized. I also need folks to come up with some good team names I will do whatever I can to get a spark of PvP life going in this guild! Hopefully folks aren't too fussy about their Arena teams.

Orcala Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I already got a 2v2 but my 3v3 and 5v5 are open! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calendar Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hi guys, As most of you know by now, I'm putting my PvP night on hiatus. It was a fun month or so while it lasted, but truthfully it was not what I expected. PvP requires FAR more organization and planning than I was willing to give it. In order to be moderately successful you really need people who are dedicated to gearing themselves, have PvP specs, you need a team with the right balance, etc, etc. Unfortunately, it simply does not work with random group members with variable gear levels. I'll support anyone else trying to put something together, but since I'm not finding this fun I think I'll move on. Thanks everyone who participated, it was great grouping with you guys. Best of luck, Zu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm not finding lvl 85 pvp much fun either currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
