As a quick update this morning (since I have to head off to class and then work soon) Target Dummy did in fact down Shade of Aran and the Chess event for the first time last night, much to the excitement of all. We are lucky to have been able to do so, because it seemed like everything was out to try and not let us go last night. First off we didn’t think that we would have enough people/enough TANKS so apparently our guild leader called off the raid. One of our co-leaders, a mage, then made other plans. This all happened before I even logged on for the night, and apparently we had enough people sign up by the time I got on. So, the fact that we have enough people gets mentioned to me, our mage says that she saw it was cancelled and had made other plans. She apparently got out of them however, and was able to join us. Yay.
So nine of us get into Kara, waiting for our Resto Druid to sign on. He’s still in High School, so we imagine he’s finishing off dinner with the parents or something, so we patiently wait for him to sign on. He does, but doesn’t realize that we have enough people for Kara and apparently he had read about the raid being canceled as well. However, he could not get out of his plans and had to go. So just as the guild leader is about to call it on account of not having the healers for it, one of our newer members (a rogue) tells us he’ll get on his Holy Paladin and save the day! *cheers*
So we get going into Curator’s room, no problem. When we get into the library however, we start getting hit with massive lag spikes. Like, we’re talking 5-10 second lag spikes. They eventually stop as we get out of the library, though we were hit with one or two little ones during Shade of Aran. Thankfully we got him the second time (the first time he was prematurely pulled) and proceeded onto Chess.
