Tuesday went well. We one shot all the ones we had already downed, and the mood was pretty good. We hunkered down and prepared to take on Brackenspore. After a few tries and a little frustration we managed to kill him dead. On the last pull of the night. Happiness and joy abounded.
Wednesday started out with us almost not raiding. After the group had gathered we went to knock on the door and Highmaul seemed to be not at home. Trying to get into the entrance just resulted in a long loading screen that kicked you back out after a couple of minutes. After a half hour of this I was starting to call the raid when one member dropped from the group and got in. We disbanded, handed him temporary leadership and moved in together. From there we went to work on Tectus, and after a few pulls we swapped Saberlynn to disc and with the extra healing he went down pretty well. Then it was on to Kor'gath. That is where our night ended, we did a couple of pulls and then went our merry ways to re-convene next week.
Now, for the news part of this week, 6.1 is now live on the PTR and Blackrock Foundry opens on February 3rd. Both of these are big deals.
First of all, it is nice to know when the next raid is opening other then "Sometime in February." I honestly suspected with the vagueness of Blizzard's answer that we wouldn't be seeing the next raid until close to the end of the month. It was a pleasant surprise to know we can traipse our way in three weeks from now. There is hope that we can be 7/7 in Highmaul by then. At the rate of progress we have had, I believe we may get there on opening week. That is, if we can get the first five bosses down on Tuesday from here on out. I think there is a chance we could pull that off.
As far as 6.1 is concerned. We are already seeing spoilers and data-mined content. As always anything you hear about the next patch from anyone but Blizzard must be taken with a grain of salt. A lot of the information gained is stuff that never makes it into the game and people get butt hurt when their expectations don't become realized.
We are getting an legendary follower. I'm not going to spoil who it is, but I am very excited. And no, it's not Varian Wrynn.
New blood elf models are on their way. Looks like there is a good chance we will have them with this patch, who is happy about there finally being male blood elves to play?
Heirlooms tab! That's right! If this feature makes it in, you can just create and equip the heirlooms you already own from a tab. When your done, just throw those suckers away. No more mailing between realms. No more re-buying the heirlooms that have dissipated along the way...
And much more! This is a content patch so far. No raids, just fun little quality of life additions. 6.2 should be the next raid, and then 6.3 may be the last patch of the expansion? If they stick to the two raid tier plan it will probably be. Then again, maybe Blizzard will have a change of heart. I believe they said that the final raid boss will be a surprise this time around. (This after someone slipped and said it was going to be Grommosh Hellscream right after Blizzcon) I am personally hoping for Gul'dan and the Shadow Council as that would fit into that last big bad nicely. This would really fit into the current legendary quest for our ring.
That is it for this week. Next week I'm hoping to have something more opiniony. Like, NO FLYING IN WARLORDS EVAH! Or at least not looking like it in 6.1.
