I'm getting the impression here that MC does not work the way I conceptualize instances to work.

Well, then, I will eat crow. Mmm, delicious crow!

No, not really. It's on a week-long reset timer. When you go in & kill a boss you are "saved" to the instance. So if you go back in before the timer is up, that boss will still be dead.

The bosses are surrounded by underlings, trash mobs. In MC, these trash mobs respawn. In other raids, trash mobs do not respawn.

So if anyone in the raid has killed the boss within the last week, the boss will no be there? Also, I've seen the front of instances, such as deadmines respawn after enough time. Usually after two group wipes when the tank desides to body res to fix gear and then can't get back into the instance.

Who gets saved to the raid instance is a murky topic. But, yeah, basically that's how it works.

The length of the raid timer varies by the size of the instance, normally. MC is one week, but Zul'Gurrub is only 3 days.

I find that 'doofus' is much more delicious than crow. :D

And I'm with Lux. If they didn't want people to think they are all douchebags then maybe they should have more control over who they allow in their guild. It only takes one fart to smell up the whole fucking office.

Because everyone we've ever let in is a goddamn superstar. No heroin addicts, or bossy know-it-alls, or dynamite-happy warlocks in this guild. Nope, never.

heroin addicts

...eh heh heh. Eh heh. Heh.

Whatever happened to her anyway? She just kinda went away and no one cared.

He got bored with not having enough attention, and moved on to trying to build another comic book MUX. Which will inevitably fail, because no matter his storytelling skill (which is considerable) and his general standards of writing (which are high), he is easily distracted by shinies and allergic to the work required to keep shit moving.

... And, um, that's my dirty secret: he and I sort of go ridiculously way back.

I TOLD you it was a he.

While I am genuinely inclined to believe whatever people tell me on The Internets, if he is not a he then she is the craziest, most sociopathically terrifying motherfucker on the planet and absolutely the best liar in the world.

That's odd. Sor was in the guild long before you, is this how the Val crew got word of VS?

In fact no. Val found you all on his own and brought the rest of us. I was ... very, very surprised to see Sor here.

Do they know that we know they know?

Before your time. Us OLD SKOOLERS (i.e., the ones, like me, who were around for a whole month or two before you) will remember Soraya - the player who refused to tell us his (apparently) gender, but would go on AT GREAT LENGTH about growing and using opiates.

After playing with us for a while he simply disappeared. We assumed he od'd and died.

Hehe that Torrin is teh funny.

Being an addict makes him feel badass.

Yeah, I got that impression. He would show off heroin knowledge like other guys talk about cars.

Just so you know, healing in MC will sap your desire to ever heal again.

Oh god yes. It is so stressful. My face could break out from one MC run alone...

Soroya was a dude? NO WAYS! I think he's a chick with a big drug book...I envision him frantically searching through pages to find obscure drug lore to type out in guild chat.

Well, it goes from stress to incredible boredom, back to stress.
Helpful tips are:
1.Be sure to have a moisturizing eye drop handy if you're healing.
2.The front of the Ancient Core Hound is bad for everyone, but it's only the tanks job to be there. If he feels lonely hug him afterwards.
3.Make a macro saying you are cursed if people are new and not decursing. It will kill you slowly and be very annoying.
4.If a clothie gets grabs serious aggro from a Giant or Destroyer, just save your mana to rez them.
5.If you have nothing better to do, throw a Renew on the mt.
6.Healing/damage meters don't matter, progress does.
7.We Know is a bunch of tools, and you have no reason to trust them.
8.Someone will be a dumbass and try to wipe the raid.
9.Someone will be a dumbass and wipe the raid by accident.

I love you, KT.

And Est, it is possible that Soraya is a chick, because I believe what people on The Internets have told me. But for seven years he's presented himself online as male, including the time he was in jail for beating the shit out of his girlfriend. And it's also possible he's got Muchausen syndrome and makes all that shit up. I dunno.

...Christ, seven years. Jesus, I'm old.
