Errr… yeah. The couple of weeks since then haven’t been as successful for a variety of reasons. I wont be playing for a couple of weeks (Fridays at least – but possibly not at all), and I am going to be slowing down a bit anyway.

My friends are determined to farm all the badges out of Kara that they can, especially the newer alts, so I think that is all the content I will be seeing before expansion (and more to the point next year, as I will be away for a bit).

I think a few of my friends are getting the opportunity to run higher end stuff, but with one night a week for me (which is dedicated to running with my mates), I wont be seeing anything other than Curator… well maybe Aran, and one can hope Prince.

But really at this late stage in the game… whether I have Prince’s cloak, or the T4 helm is really quite irrelevant.

Grats on the Prince down! Hope you get a chance to get to see the late-endgame content as well as keep going on Kara–I’m in the same situation, actually getting into a TK/SSC pug every now and then myself. =)

Have fun in Kara! It’s really good once you get into a good rhythm as a raid.

Yeah, can’t say I am complaining “really”. I got an invite to TK the other night, so I could be seeing more, but it all comes back to why I play the game, which is my mates.

So I will continue with the wipefest in Kara until we all get sick of it.

I’m going to second Lar’s point regarding the feeling of progression. As much as I enjoyed my own first full clear of Kara, I felt a bit empty about it simply because the run seemed too smooth to me. Sure, I held my own in DPS, being #2 to a rogue, but the lack of wipes felt as if I was just being run through the instance. Actually being there for wipe after wipe actually gives you that sense of accomplishment and progression when you finally get to down that boss for the first time. You should definitely be proud. Congrats!

Oh big grats! It’s progression after all… and in my eyes you’re heroes, comitted to keep trying though the odds when it comes to gear and experience sometimes are very much against you.

You can look at it from that point of view: don’t be frustrated because you wipe. Instead enjoy the feeling that you’re doing something hard, you’re challenged every week in Kara. In one way it’s better than just farming badges in a bored, clearly overgeared group….

Kara can still give you an epic experience. That’s pretty cool when you think about it.
