Getting the most out of your internet
Posted by thideras | Filed under General Information
In a high end raiding environment, you need multiple skills and tools. First, you need a computer capable of running WoW at a decent rate so that you can react quickly and actually do your job. Next, you need the skill and knowledge to apply your class in a raid. After that, you need the time and attendance to actually raid. Finally, you need the internet connection to keep you connected to the game.
It isn’t surprising, but your internet connection is extremely important to a guild’s progression. We are counting on 25 lines to work at the same time, which isn’t a small feat, but is certainly do-able. If we have a few people that disconnect or lag during a progression encounter, that attempt is usually done. What is surprising, though, is how often disconnects and lag happen. During our Halion 25 HM encounters, I remember a few fights where we would have someone disconnect every time and possibly have multiple disconnects on an attempt. These hurt the guild, our progression and our morale. Everyone needs to know how to troubleshoot their connection.
I’ve written this in an attempt to help you identify issues with your connection and explain possible fixes.

Defeated: Halion 25 HM
Posted by thideras | Filed under General Information
Just minutes ago, we have defeated Halion 25 in the Hard Mode difficulty. This fight is tuned extremely well and is akin to Anub’Arak 25 HM. Absolutely no mistakes can be made and no one can die. This is one of the few fights that can get me shaking after the kill. I love it.
Unfortunately, Fraps locked up and I was not able to record it.
I was able to record this week’s kill. It isn’t the original, but it is the second and still shows how we do it.

Another transfer
Posted by thideras | Filed under General Information
Unfortunately, I found myself in a position that I didn’t want to be in again: Not enjoying raids.
That being said, I’ve stepped down as an Unchained officer and decided to look for a new home. After applying to a few places, Enigma (Deathwing) decided to take me in. It just so happens that a previous Exodus member has been here since that guild breakup, Kanibal. It was actually not my intention to find him, so I chuckle a bit at that.
What does this mean for you guys? This is going to greatly free up my time that was stuck in managing the guild so I can write more. I haven’t written an article for my website in some time and I feel bad for neglecting readers. I haven’t decided on my first topic, so I’m open to input.
