Upcoming nerf
So... just as in WoTLK... we are getting a wide-raid nerf. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but at this point we'll take it.
About last night... I'm still concerned with certain aspects of the raid. Our DPS was there as well as healing. However, some of the mechanics are just not falling into line. At this point in our progression, we shouldn't be wiping on Gunship (or whatever it's called) and should be on Deathwing.
I'm hoping this nerf will get us through our troubled areas. It's important that everyone really starts tweaking their gear. I saw a few times where people weren't food buffed or flasked. There's no excuse for it. We have a guild bank filled with gold, food and flasks. If theres something you don't have... ask!
Ok all... See you tomorrow for our progression night.

Knowing is half the battle.
Greetings Jackhammers! The weekend is upon us, and I want you all to reconsider our current raid objectives. The upcoming nerf will help, of course, but we need to recruit another dedicated DPS. Please keep your eyes open, and continue to sign up for raids.
We did have two new people last night; but they were sorely under geared and up to par for DPS. They did great as far as mechanics; but the DPS just wasn't there.
I'll be trying to recruit this weekend, and encourage you to do the same.
Have a great weekend!

Alms for the poor…
Hey all! It's that time of the year again... I just renewed our web hosting as well as another year of Ventrilo service. As always, there is zero pressure to donate... but it is appreciated! The server hosting is $130 a year (with domain registration) and the Vent server is $60 a year... Thanks Wendy for the generous donation!
Again, this is totally optional... but if you do feel like donating a dollar or two; you can PayPal me at: [email protected]
Have an awesome weekend, Hammers!

The family splits…
Happy Friday! We had a meeting in Ventrilo the other day; and wanted to give everyone who wasn't able to attend a brief synopsis of what transpired.
Unfortunately, a few of our raiders (and friends) are moving on to other Warcraft related objectives. Cless and Zotak are moving to a 25-man progression based guild. In the same breath; Chris and Erin will be transferring servers to play with some real-life friends.
I personally wish you all the best of luck and success. You will always have a home here in AJ! You will all be missed... Not simply because of the spot you fill in the raid; but because of the relationships we've encountered in-game.
With that said... We will be changing our raid schedule back to Tuesday's and Thursday's; starting January 19th.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Calling all cars (and officers)…

The Name Remains the Same
After talking with Mike (Gryffin), the decision was made to make the SWTOR guild name Alien Jackhammer. Shane threatened to never join otherwise... We may use Veracity as a Republic alt guild and create a common chat channel. I started the new name on the server, so please whisper me (Livid), Gryffin, Vau, or Comet to join. You can also hop into vent to see if anyone is on to invite you. If you are already in Veracity, you will need to /gquit to leave that guild name before joining Alien Jackhammer. Once their toons are under this guild name, Gryffin, Vau, and Soomer will be the guild officers.
The goal of AJ:SWTOR will be to create a smallish casual-to-moderate PvE guild. Basically an extension of AJ into this game. And for those of you thinking, "Who in the heck is this guy?!", I used to be a member of AJ back in the day. I quit WoW for personal reasons and nursing school. Just finished and will be an R.N. once I pass boards in a week and a half. Looking forward to having more time now with my family and to game! It's good to be back with AJ people.

Insert popular interweb meme here…
Happy Friday AJ crew! Just wanted to pop in for a quick post and update. Everyweek we seem to have issues with the Gunship in Dragon Soul... I know we all have the concept; but I really think the group makeup was a tad off.
With that said; please do not be offended on whom I choose to take for the night.
On a secondary note... It looks like our Star Wars: The Old Republic crew is growing and doing well. I'm very excited for these guys; and encourage you to hook up with the AJ crew in SW:TOR. Currently, there isn't a Mac version; so at least Josh and I are SOL until that happens (don't give me crap about dual booting, etc.).
I'm fairly confident that once there is a Mac version; I'll be dabbing into the scene to see how it is. I will be no means be abandoning Warcraft; but to be honest... I'm not sure I'm going to play in the next expansion. I'm still waiting for Blizzard to tell me they were joking about the panda monks... I will probably try the test realm/beta for Pandarian; but... They are really going to have to 'wow' me to keep me as a subscriber.
Have a great weekend, and please be sure to comment and let me know your thoughts.

And it begins… again…
Hope everyone had a great holiday and fantastic New Year! I'm excited to be back after a two-week stint while visiting family.
We are back in full swing with raiding, starting tonight. I noticed a few didn't sign up yet for the upcoming raids; so be sure to sign up asap.
I also know we have a handful of guildies that are playing Star Wars... Be sure to keep together and stay active on the website, etc. I created a vent channel for you guys... (SW:TOR)
If you have any questions or suggestions; please let me know! I know a few have asked, so below is our vent information.

Happy Holidays (yes I’m PC)…
Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it... I can't spell the Jewish alternative; nor do I know if Kwanza is still viable. Nevertheless... I'm heading out tomorrow, so will be offline for most (if not all) of my vacation. I'll be returning January 2nd, so my first raid day will be on Tuesday the 3rd.
Don't stress about raiding everyone... Enjoy the times with your friends and families, and if raiding lends an opportunity, than so be it!
I'll miss you all, and I'll still be available by text and email... The officers have that info, so if anything is needed please let me know.
Have a fantastic Holiday and Happy New Year!

Yes Deathwing, there is a Santa Claus….
About last night... We were missing a couple of our regulars; and had to swap people around... This also gave us a late start. I know it wasn't a real smooth run, but we did manage to get four bosses down. Not great, and really not many upgrades for people.
Regardless, we managed to pull through the best we could and are that much closer to a full clear.
I'd like to try and continue on Friday (tomorrow) night at 8:30. If you can, please sign up... If there's no way you can; please let me know.
