Standard disclaimer: Leave your loathing of meta, World of Warcraft, or community diaries outside. If you think we should be playing your MMO instead, start a guild and write a recruitment diary. Don't leave a comment here and then get all hurtful when it isn't received with flowers and candy. This goes double for people coming in to attack guildies over other diaries or comments - STAY OUT! Link to your recruitment diary is OK though.
Standard advertisement: Wreck List is the Daily Kos World of Warcraft guild. We are Horde-side on the Garrosh server. We're getting close to the membership cap, so we'll have to put you on a waiting list if you want to join. To get on the list, read this diary and visit the Guild web site. Yes, you have to be Horde. No, you don't have to be hardcore - casuals, PvPers, and people that just want to hang out on guild chat are all welcome.
More below the fold:
Another year battling the mindless, corrosive evil boiling up from the Great Dark Beyond. Fortunately, we have World of Warcraft to take a break from it and bash pixelated demons with a hammer.
On that note, here’s our first Team Pm report of the year from Papagenia:
It's a new year, and we got started right away on Monday night with a successful farm trip through the first 6 bosses of Antorus. Tuesday night, we had possibly the strongest version of our team present, with the exception of Baelz who is suffering from burnout (plus the lure of Mechwarrior Online) and is taking a WOW break for a few weeks. So, we decided to tackle heroic Garothi and had no difficulty one-shotting him - as was probably to be expected, given Blizz's usual pattern of luring us into heroic mode with a relatively easy first fight. We then tried the Felhounds of Sargeras on heroic, and that was a bit more challenging. We had a couple of wipes, and I think it's probably within our reach, but most folks wanted to spend the rest of our evening on farming to get table quests done and try to get more tier gear so that's what we did. We'll get back to progression clearing next week, pushing further into Antorus on normal, and we'll probably do Garothi on heroic each week for a while for gear purposes.
I'd just like to say, as a New Year's greeting, that 2017 was a horrible year politically for all of us, and having each other on our team each week to laugh and joke together about the orange buffoon's latest tweets helped me, and I'm sure all of us, get through it a bit more easily. Here's hoping to a much better 2018 - if we can't get rid of Trump yet, at least we can work and hope for a Democratic Congress in November! Happy New Year!
Oh, I almost forgot - New Year's weekend was notable in the guild for the reappearance of a couple of old friends. Pinutos, one of the founders of the guild, is playing a bit again, as is Snuffy, one of our erstwhile stalwart raiders - so good to see both of them in game again!
Good to see Pinutos and Snuffy again. We’ve missed you.
That's all I have for this week. For the Horde!
