I mainly wanted to thank everyone who joined us for Kara tonight.  It was amazing that we got the maiden down to, what was it, 29% the first time?  Nice.  Subsequent efforts didn't give us as much satisfaction and our carelessness and and lack of coordination and patience caused defeat when we finally had to try to take out the trash again to get back to the maiden.  Good learning experience, good effort - and though I'm left a little down I think it's pretty normal after suffering a loss! :)

I've noticed when I've read some of the &quot;journals&quot; of some of the guilds who have the place on farm that they get to that point by spending several hours getting each fight down.  Much gold is spent on repairs, much time fighting trash to get back to bosses, much patience and many hours at a whack...  I think that's the only thing keeping us from moving on to the next few bosses in kara.  I think people need more time to learn the fights.  Two hours at a time just isn't cutting it.  I think maybe SIX hours minimum at attempts to get a boss down would really help out.  I know many of us have families and lives outside the game, but I did want to share my thoughts...  Those of us who have friends outside the guild who have taken on Kara with other groups are at a major advantage.

I want to thank people for taking heed and installing KTMTheatMeter and getting onboard with Vent.  Man, most of us in the attempt tonight had both &quot;programs&quot; installed!  I can't believe how helpful it was!  It was like night and day.  And in fact, I think our lack of use of Vent toward the end probably contributed to our exasperation, aka: lack of coordination.

Now for a little selfishness.  I still need my pants from Sethekk...  I'm going to bark for an FSE group at 7pm on Fri night May 11th.  So if anyone needs Sethekk or would like to help please be ready to go!  I'd like to actually start killing shit at about 7:30.  I'm not super familiar with Sethekk but have run it a few times at least.  Naturally, if we have enough on at that time to try Kara again that'd be my preference.

Happy Hunting!
