I just wish Hunter tokens would drop already... We've yet to see a single one. So annoying having 251 t10. =(

At least I've got most of my other slots 264, except that garbage ass DMC: Greatness I can't seem to get rid of.

Tomorrow we'll see how far we get. Hoping to at least attempt some 25man Lich King, but we're stuck with tards wiping us on Queen. We've yet to even attempt Sindragosa. We did start sitting people fucking up and bringing in more trials to get a better raid awareness group. This week might be our week.

we just use the calendar

You can mass group-invite, autopromote to raid assist, set raid sizes, etc via the ingame calendar? Seriously?

I'm assuming you misunderstood my question, but if you didn't please tell me how to do that!

lol all we ever see if fing hunter tokens

Same. Thankfully, I'm on the same token, and we have 2 hunters, 2 warriors, and 3 shaman.

I'm in full 4p 264 T10 Enhance.

Also VoA deigned to give me a piece of resto gear, plus I got enough emblems for another, I'll be rocking 3p T10 Resto (1 piece being 264) when I log on again. Can't wait to try out the sick riptide bonus on the 2p.

Wait you can login?! We couldn't do a thing last night as all of SS and Nightfall were down and out. As long as you didn't do anything pertaining to an item, you would be lag free. But cut a gem, loot a mob, open your mail....your are lagging for 10 minutes easy. They fixed Retaliation so quickly, but the other two Boston BGs were lagfest late into the night.

So my guild went casual after not being able to down either sindragosa or the professor 2 weeks straight in hardmode (all other bosses down in hardmode); I was already planning on stopping raiding since I got into the SC2 beta and am trying to get decent at that so it's kind of convenent for me ^.^

It will mass invite make raid and you can simply invite 10 or 25 people,

it wont auto promote to raid assist or set the instance difficulty

i don't think any mod will do everything you are asking

Even Illidan, which is on Rampage, wasn't lagging terribly yesterday. It was quite a nice change.

Bleh... honeymoon phase is over with my latest new guild. I hate when you get to that phase when you realize that certain guild members are just dickheads.

For example, during the area before rotface where you have a swarm of leaping ghouls or whatever they are called along with the putrid monstrosities that blow up when they're low health, one of the main mages is just spamming blizzard the whole time then yells at people for not focus firing on the monstrosities when they blow up. He's constantly trying to make sure that he looks good near the top of the dps meter. If there is a fight where he's not near the top he starts whining in vent about so and so fight is unfair because of the dps, then likes to spam dps reports during the raid whenever he is near the top or on the top. Then you get a fight where he's number 5 or 6, and no spam of the dps meters.

I hate people like that, totally annoying. He's the first one that will make fun of people for focusing too much on dps, then a half hour later he's complaining about people not doing enough dps.

We have a few like that in my guild. One of our rogues (who was gkicked for being a bitch before and given a second chance) tried to call me out (although it was via whispers not in guild or raid) on Dreamwalker for being 11th in dps. He was saying I "slacked that fight and could be cut because of it". Then he went on to complain I only had 13% damage to the supressors. Funny thing is, being a hunter, my guild kites the blistering zombies rather than tanks them, and that is the hunters primary role. So, I spend the entire fight kiting while I dps a single target rather than spam FoK in supressors or worms...

I'm thinking of looking for a new guild. My guild can't seem to even make it to LK in normal, so I doubt any HMs can be done.

Heard while online last night that 3 of the top horde side guilds decided to stop raiding on tuesdays cause it's been so bad over the last couple of months.

I'm hated doing a couple VoA and an uld/xt run last night, god forbid it was a heroic boss run.

I take it the guild doesn't have a problem with spamming dps reports? you should spam the reports where he's not near the top and also tell him to suck it up on fights which aren't simple tank 'n spank (aka patchwerk) fights. he's entitled to being annoying but he isn't entitled to be a hypocrite without getting called out on it.

Had a busy crappy night, only had time to hop on for my main dungeon run. Turned out to be UP and I ended up winning the drake and the orb, so at least in good ole azeroth things were looking good.

Had some strange issues with FPS last night. Rocking the 60 constant FPS always except on Lady Deathwhisper where I was at like 5FPS...

Do you guys use vertical sync? If not what are the benefits.

From my understanding it basically just uses the max FPS your monitor can refresh (I have a 60hz monitor) so it's showing the max possible FPS.

Is this right?

V-sync is supposed to help if you have "tearing" issues. Basically sometimes you'll see your screen with a slight tear in it, meaning that the picture is in the middle of a refresh when the monitor re-displays its next frame. What v-sync does is sync up the refresh from the graphics card to the monitor, allowing for a smoother image.

V-sync has issues though if you're playing a game that really stresses the video card to it's limit, since if the signal from the video card is below 60 fps, it knocks it down to 30 fps, or if it's below 30 fps, drops it to 15 fps. Most of the areas within WoW though work great with any modern video card, so I usually leave it enabled as I typically get in the 150+ fps in most areas.
