Big Crits Weekly Update - H Hagara World 10th

It has been an amazing week for Big Crits.  The progression team are 10th in the world to kill Heroic Hagara the Stormbinder.  At one point over the weekend, Big Crits was showing up on the front page of Wowprogress, as 7th overall in the U.S. and 13th in the world.

As of today, Big Crits is 18th in the U.S.  and 49th in the world.  Look for us to jump back up in the rankings this week when we return to Dragon Soul to kick some more ass!  Raid Leader Basek put together an inspiring video that should help keep the momentum going; you can see it here.

This week in Big Crits: 9/26/11

Every Monday we'll bring you the abridged summary of all that happened in Big Crits during the prior week.

Progression team

With the introduction of the nerfs to Firelands the progression team blew through 6/7 HM in an hour and a half on Tuesday night. It helps when everyone knows what they're doing, but even with that experience under our belt, we destroyed the place.

That left over 10 hours of raid time for Heroic Ragnaros. The raid team put in 52 attempts, with 10 of them going over 8 minutes. The stopping point right now is getting out of phase three with everyone alive, and of course pushing deeper into phase four. This brings the total heroic Rags attempts up to 77.

I was out for the whole raid week this week due to a trip to Asia with the girlfriend. I'm upset to miss the progression and the hard work the guild is putting in to this boss. Basek, Sarc and Suzu are doing a great job of keeping the team moving forward, reviewing wipes, and adjusting tactics as the raiders learn the fight. Thank you guys for your hard work.

Promotions, Additions, Departures

We promoted two members this week to the rank of Da Crew Chief—the officer rank of Da Crew. Orinesong, the raid leader of TPBS, and Vasin, raid leader for TEFA were both promoted to officer upon the recommendation of Ishraaq, the current head Da Crew Chief. Many chiefs in the kitchen, but is works well for us. Da Crew is a big part of Big Crits so they need the officer support and structure just as the progression team does.

Hunter Althorious was promoted to member. He's come a long way since his first week with us and has shown his ability to consistently perform at a high level and under pressure. Two new initiates joined us: Elwynta, Balance Druid, and Blitzkriegx, Hunter. Here is the updated roster.

If you've got the chops for hard mode progression raiding you're welcome to apply.

Da Crew update

With two 10-man teams raiding Firelands each week, our social raiding rank, Da Crew, got their first regular Ragnaros kill! Congrats Team Penguin Butt Sex on your kill—we're looking forward to many more. Team Eiffel Tower All-Stars are starting their attempts on Rags and should have him down soon.

If you want to join Big Crits but can't make the raiding schedule, Da Crew is the place to be; apply here.

PvP

With the return of our fearless PvP leader, Qtchain, the RBG team is rebuilding. We've recruited a core team of dedicated PvPers who will be form the foundation of our RBG team, and then we'll fill out the rest of the group from our PvE member base for each BG. I'm looking forward to the carnage!

Fun stuff

Each week on Friday Basek runs a GDKP in Firelands. This week they cleared 6/7 regular bosses and netted over 320,000 gold for the shared pot. It was so successful due to the nerfs that we're considering adding a 2nd GDKP run for the people that didn't get into the first one. If you're on the Sen'jin server and have some gold to spend, be sure to join us on Fridays.

That's all for this week's update.

May all your hits be crits!
