Greetings everyone, With the release of patch 8.2 last Tuesday, the new raid is approaching quickly and will open on July 9th. This means that it is now time to plan the roster for the tier. Please post here or let an officer know if you plan to be raiding with us for this tier. As always with new tiers, rerolls are allowed, but priority on roles will be given to people who want to maintain the role they had in the previous tier. Looking forward to seeing you in the raid group! Raid Leader Mort

Greetings everyone! With the Battle of Dazar'alor raid releasing tomorrow, I thought I'd make a post so you guys know what to expect. As always with a new raid tier, we are likely to have returning players or some people who might want to switch to another character. There is no absolutely no problem with that, but keep in mind the following : Priority will be given to people who want to maintain the role they had in the last tier. The character you pick should be geared enough that it won't hinder progression for the rest of the group. With normal dropping 385 gear, returning players or new characters should aim to be at least 365 in order to be allowed in the group for progression. This should be easily achievable with the catchup mechanics in place. Keep in mind the Darkshore warfront gear will go up when the raid unlocks, as well as M+ ilvl rewards, which makes it even easier. As usual, we will be starting with normal difficulty, and move onto heroic once we've cleared it. We'll keep clearing normal until we're far enough into heroic that there is no gear someone needs in normal that they couldn't get from our heroic kills. If you would like to watch the fights on video beforehand, Wowhead has a great guide with video for every bosses based on PTR footage. Keep in mind it is not required for you to watch those, as I will have strategies prepared for every boss, but you are encouraged to get familiar with the fights if you want to. If you have any questions, leave them below and I'll answer them as soon as possible. See you in raid! Raid leader Mort

Grats on the MOTHER kill team! Here's a picture of us.

No problem! Enjoy your vacations!

While my personal stance is the same as Mastric's, after discussing it with the other officers, the majority was not in favor of allowing a separate raid team under ATR banner. As such, like Bash said, if you would like to lead your own raid team, we ask that you do so in a guild of your own. This has no effect on whether or not you're allowed in the guild, so should you decide it's no longer something you want, or if it ends up not working out, you're still very much welcome among us. Apologies for the confusion that might have been caused, it should've been discussed among officers first rather than every one giving you their personal opinion on it.

I don't personally have an issue if you'd like to run a weekend raid team, as long as it's clearly a separate team from the weekdays one, and meant for people with different schedule. Our goal is to be welcoming towards all member and if you have a group that would like to run weekends, then you shouldn't be prevented from doing so. So long as it stays a separate team running, and not an extra day added for some of the week group, you have my blessing. I'll tag the other officers to see if anyone foresees an issue with this. @Mastric specifically would be the one to check with for rank logistics and the likes, as he's the only one capable of changing that. Otherwise, besides @Varibash who already answered, @Ansky, @Gromn and @Wilistari are the only other ones I can think of that might have something to add.

Several people have asked me which strategies we'd be using going into raid tonight, so I figured I'd make a post about it. I'll have strategies prepared for each bosses based on Alpha and Beta testing by Fatboss, and we'll adapt as we go if there's any differences between PTR and live. Wowhead has a guide with a link to every bosses' page, which you can find here. I'll link shorter videos of the fights on live once they release, for those that would like to watch them before heroic progression.

That's what happens when Warlocks start having babies. They multiply.

I'll try to get you in a run next time I see you on. First step would be to get you to 305 ASAP so you can start getting some heroic gear.

Everyone is welcome in the raid team, if our time fit your schedule, I'll add you to the roster! Welcome to the team!

Greetings everyone, With a little less than a week to go before Uldir unlocks, it's time to make sure everyone will be ready for raiding. As of now, we have 27 full-time raiders and 5 part-time raiders planned. In case you'd like to raid but aren't on the raid roster yet, just let us know in this thread and we'll add you to the list : With that said, the only requirement we have for raid is the following : A minimum ilvl of 330 is required. This is easily reachable in a single week if you run the mythic dungeons and do your WQ. If you need help to gear up to that point, ask in guild for mythic runs happening. Given that we have over 30 people wanting to raid, entry priority will be given in the following order: People who are on the planned roster as full-time raiders. People who are on the planned roster as part-time raiders. People who would like to join but aren't on the planned roster. If you have any questions, post them below.

This appears to be a meme, but I'm having a hard time deciphering it. Could you provide some precisions as to what you meant?

Everyone in good standing with ATR is welcome to join the raid group. If you want to raid with us casually in BFA, I have no problem with it.

You are encouraged to do whatever you need to do to enjoy the game and have fun, and if it means you are moving your main elsewhere to raid with other people, there's absolutely no problem with that. You did so in a very civil manner and as such you will always be welcome should you want to come back. As a side note, if you'd like to keep your talk permissions in TS, just let us know which of your alts you want us to promote to the "Friends and family" rank. Best of luck with your new group, and hop by anytime if you want to play WoW or any other game with us.

That's impossible!
