Heroes Update 2009-07-27

Again, quite some time since last post here. I'm lazy, deal with it!
We are working out the kinks among officers however to share the duty of writing Heroes Update, and hopefully we'll soon go back to atleast "bi-weekly update".

Raid progression

Beeing summer, raiding have grinded to a bit of a halt. We rarely have the 25 people online that is needed for 25mans, and now we have a hard time filling the 10mans as well.
Even with these problems, we have had some good times in Ulduar 10. We lost parts of the team that had made the most progression in U10, but we are right back at it, jabbing away at Vezax. He would have been down by now, had we had more time for raiding, unfortunally again beeing summer, few can raid more then two nights a week.
As for the 25mans, we still do the weekly poke at Flame Leviatan, but can't get much further then that without a full team. Same goes for Naxx 25 that also have grinded to a halt.
Last important note for raiding, there's no more DKP in Naxx 25. Our DKP system is a bit slow to work, beeing based on bids, and we decided it's no longer needed. This goes for all Tier 7 content, so no DKP if we jabb at Malygos 25 again either.

News in Hota

Some changes in guild since last post.
First of all, I was promoted to Guild Master, as Dav after two years of service to the guild decided he no longer have the time needed.
The other day, our in house professional raid leader and organizer Angledan decided to take some time off WoW. We wish him best of luck, and hope that he will be back soon.
Last news about changes in guild is that we lost an officer when Gweryan left a while back, to find some higher end raiding, and we hope that he's doing well there. Fortunally we got 3 new officers at roughly the same time to replace him and Davarnus, namely Athriel, Jellifer and Kirderfia.

News in the World

Patch 3.2 is closing in on us, and it's looking more and more like my prediction will come true. Most likely the patch will hit sometime in August (I still bet last week of August). As always, everything concerning the new patch can best be found at MMO-Champion.

The Fun Part

No Gnome Jokes, or even a video this time. Instead I will take the time to promote an event that is happening next Sunday (2/8-2009), namely a VIG Escort.
We did this event once before, but this time it's bigger, badder and hopefully even more fun! Add to that much bigger prizes, and we'll hoefully see some gnomes running as hard they can, whilehaving a path carved for them by their bodyguards!
More info about the event can be found in the Event Forum, and signups can as always be made in calendar.
