Rare Heroic Spawn Killed!

Just News — Malatov

So I am questing in Twilight Highlands and this guy asks if I want to kill a rare spawn.  I say sure why not.   First pull tanks turns the guy to us and wipes us in an instant.  Ok the leader said we need more people, so we pug a few and get up to a 10 man.  I managed to get 4 Steel Legion members in.  So we try again. Death after death, we keep pounding this guy down (30 M health, outdoor boss, so we can run back).  Apparently we kited him to far and he begins to evade, and reset.   Right then and there everyone leaves, except the 4 Steel Legion members.  They gave up with out saying good bye or anything.  That is just not the Steel Legion way.   With the group disbanded, I thought he was fair game, so we rallied the troops and got all the Steel Legion members online to go kill that bastard.  Grats on the new dagger Rudy.

  

P.S.  He reset on us too, but we didn’t give up.

First Raid Boss Down in Cata!

Just News — Malatov

We managed to make some good progress on Omnitron for a few hours, but then went over to Tol Barad and Pwned Aragloth.   2 PVP epics dropped but that is alright, very fun night. Rellan and Jarreth where there as well healing (sorry Recount doesn’t show your names).  I need to get better at taking screenshots.

Cataclysm! I think we are prepared!

Cata — Malatov

Cataclysm is here, so it time for a change or two.

First let me Congratulate Adaline as the first toon in Steel Legion to hit 85!!  Grats, let me know if you would like me to send you the card via snail mail, or just send you the code through in game mail.

The world has changed, so as a guild we need to change as well.  First off, a new way to do loot.  We are using the Effort Points/Gear Points (EPGP) loot system.  For more information look here.  http://www.epgpweb.com/help/system

For the next 2 weeks, we will be handing out Effort Points on raid nights.  Also we will not start the decay until January 1st of next year.   As another bonus I have decided to convert unused DKP from WOTLK to the effort point system.   Basically your unused DKP was divided by 100 to get your effort points, with some decay applied to those who have been MIA for a while.

Our expect first raid date will be the first week of January.  I figure 2 weeks to run heroics to get people geared for a 10 man.   Effort Points will be awards about 3 times a raid night, from On Time, Mid Way, and End of Raid for 10 points an event.   Gear Points will be 40 points per item for Legionaire,s Centaurions will only be charged 20 points.   So you can see we have gone done on the grand scale of thing.  Other requirements will be a minimum of 200 accrued Effort Points, this prevent new people from getting gear from veteran players.

I will be putting all current raiders to Legionaire status, Officers and myself included.  As for Centaurion status, besides what your officer requires, you will need to maintain 2/3 raid attendence.  Our new raids willbe Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays from 7.30 to 10.30 pm.  So 9 hours a week, a Cent is expected to raid 6 of those hours.  Notice raids are a little shorter.  I want to focus more on raiding and less breaks, taking only 1 midway break.  Besides attendence, players are expected to have the proper rep levels for the necessary enchants.  For example Therazene for your shoulder enchant if you are not an inscriptionist.

Hope you are all level 85 soon so we can start raiding away.
