First raid of the New Year had some mixed success. Unfortunately due to attendance and technical issues, we couldn’t get the Queen reclear this past week in DJ’s. It was just the perfect storm of everything happening. A couple of quick hits for this week to start:
- Last Call is now 6/8 Mythic: With Broodtwister defeated, we start work on Silken Court. The PTR for the next patch has been released, and it looks like it’ll be here to stay for at least another 6 weeks. We have to decide now if we want to make a play and commit to defeating Queen for a chance at CE. If we do, that means no more reclears because that takes up at least 45 minutes of our time per week and for a team that raids 6 hours a week, that’s some serious time. We’ve already accomplished our team’s goals when we formed which was originally 4/8 Mythic. I’m still looking for some more late mythic and CE driven players to join our team. Check us out here.
- Death Jesters misses a Queen: This one was an unfortunate miss by us. Our bench was missing due to technical issues and absences since it was the first week of the New Year. We came within 50 million HP of killing it, and I feel terrible. The decision was made to put me in as Shadow, but not only was I still not versed on Queen, but playing Shadow is my off-hand, and I haven’t had a whole lot of opportunities to play it in a raid environment. We’re starting to have informal discussions about our season 2 roster, although nothing is official yet because it’s all pending PTR information and testing. We did add 2 more returning players, and this increases our healer roster now to 7. Many of our players have opted to return and continue with us for next season.
- Season 2: Speaking of season 2, I’ll try to have a post up later talking about roster changes and goals. It’s an interesting variance in philosophy between an already established CE group in Death Jesters and an emerging CE team with Last Call. The PTR looks fantastic though and I’m glad there’s a weekend scheduled with just normal raid testing to try out things and function as a preview.
