  • Dragon Soul Raiding Progress: Week 1, Day 4!

    Yet another Raid Observer update from the Guest Contributor, Ladan, on how the raiding race is (not) going so far! Life post-LFR, the emergence of trolls, and more...!

    And my usual disclaimer: I am not a member of DREAM Paragon, I have just been asked to provide a regular update on my observations of the raiding race for Patch 4.3 as it unfolds. All typos, misunderstandings, and opinions are my own (though my cat may cause the typos if she walks on my keyboard) and may or may not represent the views of Paragon and its actual members ...

  • The Raid Observer: Day 2 (or Day -5) Update!

    Well, not much to report really, mostly just a bit of news on the overall attack of the normal modes by guilds everywhere and a bit of news on what's (not) happening with the elite race so far.

    The progress sites continue to be a bit wonky, which I realise will continue until the guild scans and whatnot are complete. Kruf explained this to me last night and while I tried to look (textually speaking) like I had a clue what he was talking about ...

  • The Raid Observer: Dragon Soul Raiding Progress - Your Day 1 Update!

    So I'll be posting some basic observations on progress each day during the race itself. In fact Paragon asked me to not just provide updates to interested readers on their progress but also track the race in general. Since raiding began yesterday on the American servers, I'll start off with a short update today and then keep adding information, at least daily and sometimes even more as the race heats up. Yes, yes, I know the "real" race begins next week with the heroic modes, but I think how we're moving through the normal modes can be quite informative ...
