Selecting people from the soldier pool if the need arises

Shadowsong · August 05, 2006, 11:57:21 AM

I sure was disapointed last thursday. As usual I wait at MC entrance if there is a spot free (I know soldiers don't get priority, but if there is a spot, Im at the scene instantly). So last thursday, there were 2 spots free. The queue officer (or something) wasn't known at that time, and there also wasn't a soldier call in chat. And all of a sudden a soldier can get in who wasn't even near MC at all. How did he/she know how to get an invite and I didn't?

There aren't many fun things left at level 60 besides doing dungeons. Except for a few runs with Wierd to Strat Baron I hardly get into a dungeon at all.
Now I got vacation, I'd hope to do MC a bit more often (at least, past Geddon) because I got more time now,but so far I've only been in MC twice (in a duration of like...2 months or something).

This way I can hardly earn dkp and prove myself a bit. Upgrading to defender hasn't got much use either I guess....RG2 is always full and there are no applies open for it anyway.

im pretty sure Rg2 has an open spot for a warrior (preferably tank) since our old MT2 left. shud check lil harder mate.

Well mate were trying out new tanks for RG2, and we need a protect spec tank. I do not know your spec, but it would be req. for you to be or respec to that. Im not sure if ur interestet in that, but if you are feel free to give me an ingame whisper and ill gladly inform you of what we need and seek.
Only chance we get on testing ppl is to bring them along, and since Toff have applied for RG2 we picked him ofc...
Hope this answers ur questions, if not ask me or other marshals

i think we need a warrior who WANTS/DON'T MIND being a tank and not becoming prot although they don't wanna bcos thats probably the only way they can join. cos that makes things very tedious for them..

If its toff you're talking about, spill it

I dont know how many soldiers there were in the raid, but i do know that Toff applied for rg2, and really wants to be the maintank, so he offered to respecc, but havent done so before today, and judging by what some of the officers say, he did a good job, and i think he did too ( we have comps like, 1m besides eachother

)

GMOTD said there was a spot, and it was stated in /gchat that they were " only 38/39" people, same for Rg1, but it was BWL, and thats why i didnt get to join there either.

I know your frustration, dungeons is the only thing you can do at 60, or the "only". Heck, as many know im thinking of taking the guardian spot, (or i should really say apply for it) because i miss the guys i raided with

And now i went totally off topic, hope my post enlightened you a bit.

Well it sure clears things up now.

Because, I didn't know he wanted to be a tank, I didn't know he applied being a tank.

I just see a warrior soldier, who got attunement for 2 weeks, getting in MC 2 weeks in a row, while Im being left outside nearly everytime without anyone giving a good reason. So I either see Might got DE'ed or goes to some other soldier who goes from imperial plate to epics and I don't even know why. I hope you do understand my point that I got frustrated simply because I didn't know whats going on.

Im not planning on going tank spec, it's a horrible spec, especialy when you solo things...so I won't bother going for MT (even though I can tank something without tank spec).

Maybe make a post or something to prevent things like this to happen again. There might be people who think about this just like me, they get frustrated and stuff, just by some silly misunderstanding.
And just because we're soldiers doesn't mean we don't want to raid, it doesn't mean we're stupid and can't do anything in a raid.

Understand your frustration mate:) Glad my post cleared stuff up.
And dont worry, the might goes to toff now.
(or was that under the belt?

)

Getting in a raidgroup is hard, even harder when your not "raid specced"

Keltor · August 05, 2006, 05:27:39 PM

well from wot u say about tanking and how horrible it is, it should be absolutely no problem for u to see Might get De'd or wotever the ML decides to dish it to seeming as its a tanking set

and Toff may of recently got attuned and stuff..but hes been in the guild for a very long time.

Don't be silly...

I said I don't like tank spec I didn't say I never tank, so in that case Might still is very usefull to me (even as a non-tank spec).
Also, in case you didn't know, Might increases stamina greatly and strength (thus dps) too.
Lot's and lots of fury or arms warriors use Might, not just tanks.<_<

Keltor · August 05, 2006, 07:55:03 PM

"might" .. the name does sounds very misleading cos its actually terrible for dps and in which case, even valor is better. players dpsing in tanking gear have no idea the damage they can cause when wearing mixed plate REAL dps gear. hmm going a lil off-topic but hu cares!
