Bloodlust Lag, The Guild Killer
When a guild disbands: It's not pretty.
On Sunday blackness while Vitare was bashing their heads against Heroic Northern Beasts, we got some pretty shocking news. The #2 Alliance guild on the server was disbanding. These were the players chasing the matchless Alliance guild for fastest progression on the realm – and sometimes winning.
I normally take this kind of accomplishments with a grain of salt, but seeing I have some friends in this guild, I thought I would try and find out what was happening. It didn’t take long for confirmation to penetrate through – the GM and 2 officers were quitting the game. This had left them short of their GM, Main and Off Tank, cornerstones of a strong raiding guild, so things were looking pretty shaky.
This is not the first Barthilas guild that has fallen since patch 3.2 either. Another Affiliation guild that consistently ranked in the top 5 on the server changed their goals and pace from “hardcore” to “semi-hardcore”.
I mark the reason for these disbands all stem from the completely unreasonable and terrible server instability raiders are experiencing on Barthilas since Attempt of the Crusader was released.
Disconnects and Demoralised RaidersIt took us 30 attempts this raid lockout to get Upstanding Northrend Beasts. We tried perhaps 20 attempts the week past before giving up and returning to Ulduar.
Each attempt we had at least 1 (more often than not up to 5) players separate during the first phase of the encounter. After the third disconnect, people started being replaced. When you’ve played with these same people for months and never seen them disengage before, at some point you can’t keep blaming their ISPs (or as our GM always claims, their low “upload speed”).
