SOG and TBC: "Battle plan"

[Bastet]

I dont think that idea is practical strontium, but if you have a good idea on how to put it into practice, i am all ears/eyes

/slap, but seriously, send me a PM, or catch me IG/TS.

Well from what i can see...the sign up site works to a degree. Add in some mandatory commitment (ie RG1) for attendance for raiding members and you should be able to balance multiple raids by those that sign up.

I'm not saying it's quick and easy (although it may be) but with the sign ups and maybe a lifo rule for each group you could easily fill up a couple groups per night.

As far as I know up until lvl 70 we are only talking 5 or 10 man raids so maybe you could assign an officer per group of people and let them sort out their requirements for a particular raid.

I have no idea if I am making sense.....bottle of vokda is bad!

We are raiding till we get to 70, even if its at 69 i want to see kel thuzad and such, and i know a lot more ppl do

[DonnieKingo]

I dont know by the rest of you - but im still hoping to do 40 man raids.
 
Take RG2 - we are still to own BWL, we havent even started on AQ40 and Naxx seems sooo far away. I would very much like to see those instances and to have cleared them - TBC or not.
 
Its not like we stopped MC/BWL when Naxx or AQ40 opened - so why should the 25-man instances be different? It's just more gameplay ahead
 
Thats just how i feel.

You are so right I want to see Naxx inside out, and maybe for the fun of it, get Full T3  - oh and that Legendary Staff for mu lock

Aye but with 2 days raiding? no way thats gonna happen..
Udnerstand me right here. You will be needing 4days or more if you wnana raid the "old" instances and at same time try the new out.

How about something a little different. A different raiding group running every night......for names sake lets call them RG-Monday to RG-Sunday.
 
People apply to sign up for as many of these groups as they like but the attendance rules are pretty strict. This allows the hardcore to raid every night, people who can make every day can sign up for lots of days.......and it also allows others to apply only for the days they can definitely make so attendance problems should be decreased. As for numbers i really don't know.
 
Its hard to say as we don't really know yet what TBC will be offering for raiding guilds.......but i'm pretty sure the shine will be taken off Naxx/AQ40 etc once there are newer instances with shinier rewards on offer.
 
It'd take a lot of organising i'm sure so maybe it's impractical that way.

[DonnieKingo]

How about naming the new groups something like this :
 
RG1D - Raid 1 day a week (If thats gonna happen)
RG2D - Raid 2 days a week
RG3D - Raid 3 days a week
RD4D - Raid 4 days a week
...
 
That namingscheme does not have the same "RG1 are better than RG2"-feeling - and it pretty clear as to how much you raid.
 
Just a surgestion

[Luminance]

don't think 1 day is enough imo, maybe lateron.
And ofc 4 raidgroups seems a bit to much for a guild (its not 4*25 its 4*32 thats over 125 raiding people maybe more)

[Niel]

It wouldn't need that many people.......the groups would be made up of the same people but fixed in pools for certain days.......there would be the problem of locked instances  to overcome tho.

Because you can. Tier 1/2 was a requirement to succeed in AQ40 and AQ40 gear and experience was required to succeed in Naxx, that is why all RGs kept the order. For BC, gear levels will be almost equal, so you can skip Instances. Would you spend 3 nights a week in MC if you could just as well do Naxx?

[Gorion]

wouldnt you like to kill c'thun even if you have better gear than AQ40 myanmar?
 
same principle really

[Luminance]

i wanted to kill c'thun with my t2.
Killin C'thun on lvl 70 doesnt'seem so rewarding atm.

Though Aloha and me will be trying to get some higher end 5-10 man lvl 55+ instances on farm for fun
