Devastated

As you've all noticed the wowstead sites have had a major update. There's one important really important thing that you must know: You have to log in with your Curse Account now. If you do not have a curse account you have to create one.

That's all, feel free to enjoy the new site,

Welcome to your new guild site! This post is meant to introduce you to some of the features and customization options you have on this site. You can add new posts using the "Add a Post" button at the top of the page. If you are a guild administrator, you can delete this post from your Control Panel.

Site Features

To help you get started, here are just some of the features that you should make sure to try out. You can enable each of these features from your Control Panel.

Guild Recruitment

• Guild Recruitment is an extremely useful tool for advertising to visitors that you are looking for new members. In addition, if you enable recruitment, your guild will appear in the WowStead Guild Recruitment Tool, where users can easily find information about your recruiting needs.
• To enable recruitment, first make sure the the 'Guild Recruitment' module is enabled from the General Settings page of the Control Panel. After enabling the module, go to the Recruitment page of the Control Panel. You'll find this link in the 'Site Features' section. From this page simply check the 'Currently Recruiting' checkbox and click the 'Save' button.

Calendar

• To enable the calendar, first make sure the module is enabled from the General Settings page of the Control Panel. Then go to the Calendar page of the Control Panel.
• On this page, you can create new calendar events by selecting the 'New Events' button at the top of the page. You can also sync your guild calendar with a character's in-game calendar by using the WowArmory's calendar feed tool. To do so, simply follow the instructions below the calendar.

Addons

• Wowstead allows you to easily download commonly used addons directly from your guild site! To enable this, make sure the module from the General Settings page of the Control Panel. Then go to the Addons page of the Control Panel.

Guild Progression

• WowStead's progression tool allows site visitors to see your guild's progress in an easily summarized fashion.

Customizing Your Site

Even though Wowstead requires very little initial setup, you are still given a number of powerful tools to personalize and customize your guild site.

Wowstead Content Management System (CMS)

The Wowstead CMS is an incredibly powerful tool that lets you create pages, posts, FAQs, galleries and other content for your site.

You can access the CMS by going to the control panel and accessing the control pages under "News & Media".

Layout, Theme & Widget Placement

• You can easily change your site's layout, theme and widget placement by going to the Customize Site page of the Control Page in the 'Site Configuration' section.

Guild Ranks

To rename your guild ranks, simply go to the Ranks & Permissions page of the control panel, inh the 'Guild Management' section.

• Wowstead can detect the number of active ranks in your guild. The ranks are defaulted to Guild Master (Rank 0) and Rank 1 through Rank 9 - where Rank 1 is the highest and Rank 9 is the lowest. You can determine what site permissions a rank has using the Manage Permissions button to the right of a given rank. Users will be automatically granted site permissions based on the in-game rank of their character.
• You can create custom ranks using the "Create New Role" button in the upper right of the Ranks & Permissions control page. Custom ranks can be used to assign privilege to guild members in addition to their default guild rank permissions.

Site Navigation

• You can edit your site's navigation menu by going to the Navigation page of the Control Panel, in the 'Site Configuration' section. Here, you can create and edit navigation links, or restrict them to certain guild ranks and create new links.

After our last ICC25 something inside me snapped. We've been trying to create a 25-man core-group for quite a while now but it isn't really working out and with cataclysm hitting soon I don't really see the use of it anymore.

Creating a 25-man coregroup takes alot of time and you need to have alot of people available, but this is not what we have. A lot of good world of warcraft players are retired till cataclysm. Because of this there aren't enough good players left out there who still want to prove themself in a guild before cataclysm hits. Well, why don't you keep on trying to make a good 25-man coregroup for cataclysm, some people might ask me. The reason for that are the upcomming changes in the way loot is distributed in 10- and 25-man raids. If it is completely true what blizzard is saying now we don't see any point of raiding 25-man in cataclysm because it is alot more work you have to do in order to get the same loot. In our opinion the bit of extra loot you'll get by doing 25's is not worth all the extra drama.

This is why Devastated on Tarren-Mill is now a 10-man raiding-guild.

Sincerly,

Grùll

Today it was a great day for Devastated.

We downed Sindragosa HC in two days of raiding. It took us about 4 hours to get her down but we managed!

Sorry for the bad quality, I've taken a screen of the video made by Colledita:

The raids are rolling again now the exams are finished.
First of all, a big gratz for all of those who passed their exams!! :)
