We were meant to be raiding tonight, at 7pm 18 people on line, and not a warrior, feral druid or prot pally amongst them. *sigh*
Got up to about 23 but still no tank (well none with gear good enough for beyond Kara) A raid was formed with about 15 people all wanting to go somewhere. Only they were picky about where. Seems if it’s not a real raid then they’d rather do dailies.
In the end there were six of us who wanted to do something so off we went to raid Silvermoon. We cleared the gate way with ease, only to discover the horde were having some event going on and world PvP ensued. Six of us against a somewhat disorganised rolling number of horde, they meant business they put their PvP gear on and then corpse camped.
We practiced patience, the wonder of PvE servers wisp around long enough and PvP goes off (I know, I know care bears) then the three rogues & me stealthed to Sunfury Spire. One of the hunters got a bubble & just ran for it, not sure how the Pallie and the other hunter made it, but they did.
Turns out that if you unstealth & rezz someone in the little antechamber then you pull the guards lining the roadway. Also turns out that the guards are easy to kill, well we managed it without anymore fatalities. Though they respawn fairly fast too which wasn’t so hot.
Horde appeared and seemed somewhat disturbed we wanted to kill Lothemar. They hit harder than the guards so we went down. Still six of us raided Silvermoon and got to the faction leader while the server was busy, much more fun than doing dailies any day.
It hasn’t escaped my notice that a new beta build was patched in this week. There’s loads of commentary on the web already so I’m not going to repeat it, (some stuff after the break ) as it’s beta a lot of it won’t make it to live in it’s current form (more…)
