Doomsquad Tourney

 

This post is for the upcoming DS event, and players outside of the guild are not allowed to participate. There will be a movie coverage on the entire thing and I hope that the players who are able to fraps or stream during their fights will do so. You don't have send me all your fights, just send me the ones that you feel is worthy to do something with from your PoV, or if your foe did something spectacular and he didnt didnt get it on fraps =).

Community Watch

 

 

A new feature we will do here at dingblog is to highlight some of the hottest post from the community, it's a way to give some of you great bloggers some extra exposure! Enjoy...

 

Jabez, Co Guildmaster of Heist

 

I mentioned a turningpoint earlier, and here it is. Basically Heist didnt raid on the ptr except Flame Leviathan and 30 mins on Thorim with 18 ppl and 800 ms and d/c's etc. This obviously was a concious choice, since we all want to experience the encounters when they are finished.

 

You can find more stories and rants from Jabez right here

 

Grandeath, former Nihilum Classleader

 

Yes the pve race started! Hardcore guilds around the world are waiting for their server to come up so they can go in and kill bosses in the new instance Ulduar, so fast it's allmost like they did it before.

Relentless, hottest kid on the dingblog-block!

 

Ever since I started out blogging here on Dingblog (a while after I started reading) I've noticed a few things. Not so much from my own blog, but from others...

People generally write about their own personal experiences - which is great, but I was wondering... Why is it so great?

 

Hot kid, blog right here

 

Kadavret, the man, the myth, the ranter

 

Patrik usually writes for WorldofWar.se and he is currently in the making of T-shirts for the guild to restore his pride after his useless performance... not like he´s doing a good job, just that he´s so funny to watch cause he´s a keyboard turner.(Play Mimiron and you will know why keyboardturning is bad)
