Hello everyone! I hope everyone is ready and hyped up for the new tier! Fresh content means happy people, happy people means more fun in raid, so it looks like we're going to have a blast!* Since this is the first time I'm leading the team in a new raid tier, I figured I'd give a bit more information about what to expect than simply inserting links to videos of each of the boss fights. Speaking of which, Fatboss has very detailed videos from the PTR on his youtube channel if you ran out of Game of Thrones season to watch. In case your time is more limited because of all the AP you're grinding (or simply because you're not much into watching boss fights for a few hours), I'll cover every boss when we get to them. With that said, here's a little rundown of what to expect for this next tier. Raid atmosphere This is something that's been said and said again, but it's something that matters a lot to me as it is a big part of what makes ATR so awesome. Getting epic gear and parses for bragging rights is great and all, but above all else we raid to have fun together. This means that anyone who wants to join us is welcome to do so, and that we will not be sitting people for the sake of progression. So really nothing different than it was in Tomb of Sargeras, but it's still the one thing I wanted to mention in my tier opening speech. The following sections will be actual information about how the beginning of the tier will be handled, so if that's what you were looking for in this thread, you may skip the paragraph you just read (Hint : it's not actually possible to do now unless you have power over the spacetime continuum). Loots and purples For this tier we decided to go with the same EPGP approach we had when we started Tomb of Sargeras, namely a reset of your GP paired with a 90% EP decay. The goal is to give a little bonus to those who have been consistently raiding with us through this expansion, and should amount to approximately 1 (one) piece of gear. We have also decided to reduce the minimum EP amount required to bid to 2000 for the first week, to ensure everyone who's been with us in Tomb can start bidding on the very first boss. If you need a reminder of how much EP is awarded during raid, it comes from 3 sources : 100 EP for being there when raid starts at 7:30 (On time bonus). 50 EP awarded every 15 minutes during raid. 200 EP bonus for a first time boss kill (the same dragon on Normal and Heroic is considered 2 different bosses). Progression and boss order We will be starting on Normal keep clearing it until we get far enough that gear and legendary upgrade quest items (from the bosses we wont have killedon Heroic yet) from normal become pointless. The current plan for boss order is listed below. I prioritized tier bosses over non-tier when there was a pick to make. Garothi Worldbreaker Antoran High Command Eonar Felhounds of Sargeras Portal keeper Hasabel Imonar the Soulhunter Kin'garoth Coven of Shivarra Varimathras Aggramar Argus That's all I can think of! If you have any questions or comment leave them below so we can do the whole forum thing. Have a good day! *To those who noticed what I did there, yes, I am indeed getting down with the lingo. Edit : Here's a link to the current planned roster. I will try to keep it up to date if there are any changes to it.
