The End is Near!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All Good Things Come to an End<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

With the announcement of Dragonflight\u2019s Release Date on November 28th, we all know what that means. Before long, we\u2019ll find ourselves out, adventuring again, relearning our classes or taking on new roles. Now is a time of reflection, tying up loose ends, and looking forward towards the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reflection, throughout Shadowlands Empirical has undergone a lot of changes and seen a lot of progress. We\u2019ve made a lot of new friends, while seeing old friends move on to other things. We\u2019ve increased our presence in PVP with regular PVP nights. We\u2019ve experienced a change in leadership, and also increased our focus on building a fun, friendly community with our addition of community nights. Throughout the expansion we were able to successfully hold the #1 spot for raiding progress on the realm, and many of our members were in the top ranks of M+ runners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I personally have noticed an increased cohesiveness and synergy among guild members over the course of this expansion. We have become a better team overall in so many different aspects. Empirical\u2019s success is entirely due to the contributions and hard work of each and every member. Every one of you should be proud of what you\u2019ve accomplished. In regards to tying up loose ends, the Winds of Wisdom<\/strong> experience buff returns October 4th<\/strong> and will last until the start of Dragonflight. This is the perfect opportunity to get any unleveled alts squared away before the new expansion. Additionally, if there is any additional shadowlands content that may require a group to do (like rare summons that require multiple people, etc.) please feel free to reach out to your guildies. There are likely several people who would be more than willing to lend a hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for future considerations, we will be revisiting our raiding plan for Dragonflight and relaying it to the guild once an official plan is established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we are doing mythic this tier, there\u2019s a few points to keep in mind if you are interested in joining us (some of you may have already seen these items listed in Discord):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mythic\/prog eligibility and information:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

As we move towards the end of the expansion, we will be focusing our prog nights, Thursday and Monday, on mythic progression.  Every other Tuesday evening will be a heroic re-clear.  These heroic nights will be the nights that we use for logs in order to make the mythic team, which would run each Thursday and Monday.  We will continue to use the same signup, but you will now be committing to four nights when you sign up.  This would mean that our mythic team would be re-created every other week, instead of weekly.  While we understand that that does leave a little less room for roster variability, here are our reasons for proposing\/supporting this change:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
