Do We Want to Raid? (Operations)
« on: November 12, 2011, 03:20:06 AM »
OK, so I've been thinking about this for a while now. I really want to see all the content this game has to offer.

According to various Bioware sources, a raid/operation should take about 3 hours to complete. I can quite easily manage that at least once a week, without evoking the wrath of she who must be obeyed.

I'd love to do this on a casual basis, and try and avoid getting to seriously into it. Having said that, I haven't felt this keen to raid since TBC and the start of WotLK.

What are your thoughts? Do you see HoJ as a casual raiding guild, or is our player base to disparate?

(Thinking about this at 03:15 with a temperature and chest infection doesn't help really...)

once a week is reasonable, with enough numbers maybe even 2 with people flipping in and out.

NO ELITISM

NO FUCKWITS

is all i ask ;)

Bumping this.

As said I wish to, they seem pretty fun in this game. 

And from what I understand NO companions in Operations (is that right?) (at least in place of players), so no stupid "pet" issues - remember hunter pets doing stupid stuff in raids back in wow?

No companions unless someone drops out then you have the option of using them to fill spaces.

As said previously as long as its stays friendly with no elitism or clique behaviour and not a 2nd job then its all good.

you cant use companions in operations AFAIK.

I'll be levelling up my consular alt in HoJ, and would love to give raiding a go. If needed, i'll probably go as a healer. Not sure how we'll do on Empire side, just having a small guild with a few of us.

8 or 16 man raids. Same as usual, but more story driven id have guessed. Standard fare, beat bosses, get lewt. Ifits anything like the 4 man dungeons, we'll be in for a treat.

I am really hoping for mass group story situations in Ops, would be a brilliant touch.

Also, each raid member gets a bag 'o' loot from each of the last bosses I believe, making it easier to gear up.

Hunter pets doing stupid things? What are you on about? There are no stupid pets, only stupid players ^^
I was a masterpuller with my pet back in vanilla!


I wouldn't mind doing a bit of casual raiding. There are three difficulty levels; normal, hard and nightmare. From what I've understood normal is for the casuals and pretty easy. As long as people know their shit it should be pretty fun.
I was part of a hardcore raidingguild in WoW vanilla where we got like all server-firsts, but what really made it fun was the relaxed atmosphere where we talked smack on Vent a couple of hours every night. People trusted each other to know what to do that we didn't need to be super concentrated and yell at one other. It was simply relaxing. The WoW community moved away from that and that's when I lost all interest in raiding. I was even booted from a guild a year ago for "relaxing" to much on vent ;)

Getting people onto mumble from random systems in eve - or people my fleet is going to fight - and having them sing is always fun :)
