Tl,dr: Raid days are Saturday & Sunday, ~20:00 - 23:00. We are looking for Healers of all kinds, especially shamans and druids, but also hunters and warlocks.
Animals started as an idea in Anniversary Hardcore, where the necessity to trust in your fellow players and the comradery from frequent and repeated levelling created a socially relaxed but competent environment. Having found this lacking throughout most of WoW, we are now aiming to bring this to Softcore TBC and to cater to like-minded people.
We are looking for friendly, social people who recognize that the fun of the game is in social interaction, while still aiming to experience raid content. Veterans looking for an old-school progress raiding experience and newcomers to WoW, Raiding or TBC in particular are welcome! Expect wiping and repeated explanations.
What you should bring to the table:
- A friendly, helpful personality and patience for those less or more experienced than you.
- A thick skin in regards to social interactions; don’t flinch from (perceived) confrontation and don’t be a drama queen. Recognize that miscommunication is often the source of conflict, and try to resolve it.
- This should go without saying but don’t be crass, racist or sexist. Respect boundaries.
- Willingness to teach and learn.
What we offer:
- A leadership looking to enforce a comfortable, conflict-free environment. We have some raiding experience, though this is, by today’s standards, outdated.
- A casual raiding experience where wiping is okay and expected. We would love to have a lot of first-time raiders climb the mountain of WoW raiding with us. We are in no rush to clear everything week one.
- Consumables are non-mandatory (but feel free to use them if you wish). Given the post-nerf state of content, we don’t feel that consumables are necessary. Neither is an optimal composition or spec. Wiping and learning is part of the fun. Play what and how you want!
- We will be using a home-brewed loot distribution system that we call PityRoll, a simple rolling system that adds a pity value to your roll based on how unlucky you have been previously. No DKP, no Loot Council, no SR. Just show up and roll on your items!
- Participation in leadership: We will raidlead if needed, but are open to giving out roles with responsibility. Note that we are not looking for competence alone here, but competence and trustworthiness in addition to all other criteria listed in this post. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are encouraged.
- Full transparency in loot distribution and guild bank spendings, with feedback and suggestions from and discussions with you.
We are planning to raid Saturday and Sunday evenings (~20:00 - 23:00 ST), with TK and SSC swapping day each week, so that people who are only available one of these days will still get exposure to both dungeons.
Feel free to contact us ingame if you are interested or have questions!
EDIT4: We’re looking to stock up our roster for P2. Healers are in high demand! Shamans and druids in particular, and a holy paladin wouldn’t go amiss either. Hunters and Warlocks may also find a place.
As of week 2 phase 2 we have cleared 10/10.
