Raidball

Welcome to Raidball!

Formerly known as Sunday Night Raidball, Raidball has left the weekend behind and now runs Tuesday and Thursday from 8-11p server (central.)

Current Raidball Roster Needs:

Raidball has no specific current needs, but welcomes interest from strong applicants.

 

Raidball Expectations

We raid to have fun with our friends, but it stops being fun if we stop making progress beacuse we're having too much fun. In the interest of respecting the time that we have all committed to this enterprise, a few raid expectations:

Show up. We are most successful when we have the full team firing on all cylinders. Perfect attendance is, of course, preferred, but things do happen which can take you away from the raid on any given night. If you do have an unavoidable raid absence, we ask that you attempt to complete as high a mythic+ key as you can to try to make up for the lost gear progression. Raid absences combined with no mythic+ activity will be frowned upon and could result in being benched. The earlier you are able to notify us of your absence, the better!

On time. We intend to start the mayhem AT 7 server. We need you in the instance for that to happen. Invite will start at 6:45, please have your perishables, and your tokens, and any gear tweaks ready to roll at that time!

Be prepared. Maintain your gear (repairs, gems, enchants), have consumables, walk in ready to kick ass. The guild will provide most consumables at cost, and many of your teammates want to help with gems and enchants. If you have difficulties, just ask ahead of time.

Research encounters. If you see a strat you particularly like, please post it in Slack #raidball, and @atrise! You are expected to know what the boss abilities and kill priorities are, this is all readily available information.

Addon Usage. We understand that customizing your game experience with addons is a personal choice, but the amount of information that boss mods provide to yourself and the raid around you is significant. It is not fair to reap the benefits of this information without providing any yourself, and so Deadly Boss Mods (or equivalent mod) will be required.

Don't waste the group's time. Fun and jokes are the raidball way, but trolling and delaying the group will not be tolerated. We will take one ten minute break per raid, please keep it to ten minutes! And wipe, for the love of god. Do not attempt to survive, just find an expeditious way to die when a wipe has been called and get back in so you can eat, summon, and buff. We can have fun and have focus at the same time!

Remember who the target is. PvE is us against the baddies, not us against each other. Challenge yourself to beat your own best, or even the world's best, but please do not challenge yourself to beat a teammate. Open competitiveness is very rarely encouraging, and creates an uncomfortable atmosphere amongst friends.

Share. Personal loot is great and easy for everyone, but please share items that are not upgrades for you, and don't hog all the peices other folks share. Usual procedure is to roll MS before OS.

Dance with the one that brung you. During progression, you must bring your main character to raid. Exceptions will only be made if you are filling a raid need. Once the raid is fully on farm, alts can be brought in with at least 24 hours prior approval from raid leadership and the understanding that all players must return to mains at the first sign of trouble. Alts will not be approved at raid time. If you wish to switch mains between raid tiers, please decide with enough time to bring the new character up to a functional level for progression.

Keep a positive attitude. We're going to fuck up, we ALWAYS fuck up - that's often how we learn. Laugh it off, get back up, fuck it up again!

 

If we are all doing our best, and coming prepared, there's nothing we can't do. If any member is consistently unprepared or absent, they should expect to be benched and possibly removed from the team, as it is unfair to the rest of the group.
