Focus

Punt a Gnome.png

GUP started as a raid group for Gruul's Lair and Magtheradon in TBC. After patch 3.0.0, we killed a handful of bosses on Mt Hyjal and in the Black Temple. With the introduction of WotLK, we had decided to concentrate with 25-man Heroic Naxxramas to gear up members for further 25-man raids in Northrend. As of May 2009, we have been focusing on Ulduar.

The typical GUP participant has good sense of humor, likes an eclectic soundtrack for raiding, and prefers an organized but low-stress approach to raiding.

Raid Times

The normal start time for our weekly raid is Friday at 22:00 and Sunday at 21:00 (server time). Raid invites and summons start 15 minutes before raid 'go' time. You are expected to be at the instance by raid time - watch the raid warning for any change to the scheduled location (i.e. VoA when we control Wintergrasp).

Participation

  • Reservations will be done through the In-Game Calendar Invite system. Both main and alt members are expected to accept or decline, unfortunately Blizzard has yet to implement 'maybe', please respond on the side of caution.
  • Preference will be given to primary members followed by alts.

NOTE: If you accept the raid invite and do not show up within 10 minutes of raid start without notification, Raid Leaders will begin searching for a replacement from alts who have accepted the invite or swapping around off-specs.

NOTE: If there is a habit of accepting the invite and not showing up, or habitually being late, your roster spot will be given up at the Raid Leaders' descretion. Exceptions are also decided upon by the Raid Leaders.

Loot Rules

Looting will be set to Master Looter and rolling will be restricted to the class guidelines given by WoW Loot. If a piece of loot drops that can benefit your class and spec you will receive priority as per the site. If there are multiple classes or individuals that can use a piece a gear then a loot roll will be done with the piece going to the highest roll.

Alternates and primary raid team members in the raid run have an equal chance to roll on loot.

We ask that you do not roll on another piece of loot for the rest of the run, this will allow for the opportunity to gear up a larger pool of people. This rule of course goes out the window if you are the only class available that can use a piece of loot even if you have already rolled and won.


Etiquette

We have a few rules at the moment, more will be amended based upon group member needs...


PUNCTUALITY

- Since we will strive to start on time, this is essential. We completely understand unexpected personal life conflicts, but always keep in mind you have 24 other people counting on you who are also working professionals, parents, or students as well who have scheduled a time for raiding within their busy schedules.


BOSS FIGHTS

- We will be doing a lot of joking around during down time and trash mobs, but during boss fights talking will be kept to a minimum and only boss fight related matters will be discussed.

- We have found the most often overlooked keys to boss fights are concentration and calm, and with this rule we hope to down bosses easier (which is fun for everyone).

Add-ons

We REQUIRE the following add-ons.
