Four Weeks In, Our First Mythic Kill

by

TWW Season 2 kicked off on March 4th and exactly 1 month in TLP’s Olympians kill Mythic Vexie & Geargrinders. And now the real work starts. The key is the consistency of downing these bosses and getting them on “farm status”. Farm status for us is killing a boss under 3 attempts, hoping for 1-shot kills more than likely.

We will tackle Cauldron of Carnage and hope to have the dueling duo down by the end of the month, moving on to Rik Reverb, which has challenged many other midcore guilds. Even those that we consider to be mid-to-hardcore have seen Rik break the guilds apart, so we’re hoping to continue to improve on Vexie & Cauldron to farm up the gear they drop. But it seems like raid gear isn’t the requirement anymore to kill bosses in a raid environment. It definitely does require us to farm Myth gear from Mythic+ Dungeons to really be able to compete with the needed DPS, mechanics, and throughput that is needed for Rik Reverb and beyond.

We will need our team to start really committing to grinding those M+ dungeons at 10 or above, which forms a real challenge for a soft-to-midcore guild that has adults with families and limited time. So we need to organize much more astutely to meet that challenge head on. The path to “Cutting Edge” is not easy at all for a guild like ours, but we are committing to trying to achieve it every season of The War Within, Midnight, and The Last Titan — the Worldsoul Saga.

TLP Clears Liberation of Undermine on Normal, Eyes Heroic Clear Next

by

First week… our Mythic team has fully cleared normal! Yay for us. 🙂

We set out to try to fully clear normal Liberation of Undermine within the first three weeks and it turns out the Mythic team we put together was able to not only clear normal, but downed 2 heroic bosses too! We even did a pick up day last Sunday to give Heroic a whirl, adding folks from our Heroic team if others couldn’t make it, and we did really well. At some point, however we decided to pair our team down, sitting out most of the heroic folks to be able to kill Cauldron of Carnage with a smaller team.

Now, we eye the rest of heroic for our Olympians and continue to progress with our Prophets through normal; we did manage to get 6/8 for the heroic team though. Overall, we’re really happy with the latest progress of both our teams.

Goals for Season 2: Patch 11.1

ZzzZzZZZzzzZZZzz!

We’re all bored. Not shade, just facts! After nearly 6 months of Season 1, most of our members are past the endless grind of doing FOUR LEVELS of the same freaking raid, over and over and over and over again. But we still persevered on. We pulled in PUGs to get our 1/8, almost got 2/8 with enough of our TLP members to get actual “guild credit” (you need 11 or more to do so). But after having to suffer long waits to replace PUGs that would drop after a few wipes and the absolute dread that is all that business, many of our raiders and one of our raid leaders decided to take break; full burn out mode.
