A "Quick" Progression Update

(I intended for this to be much shorter than it turned out to be - apologies in advance for the essay).

Harms Way official progression standing: Naxx 5/15


Not bad I thought. We took down the Spider wing in around an hour with a single wipe to Anub'Rekhan, so we di-

Wait, what? Anub'Rekhan? Really?

Yeah, we wiped on our first attempt at one of the easiest bosses in the whole place. There were a few mitigating factors though:

*It was the very first raid encounter for quite a few of our players.
*A lot of our players didn't realise that standing too close to the Locust Swarm was stopping them from using their abilities.
*We only had seven people in the raid.

After getting their feet wet on the first attempt, we flew through the rest of the wing with flying colours. All up, we did wonderfully.

After clearing the Spider Wing (downing Maexxna with no trouble at all), our confidence levels were through the roof. Everyone was keen to get started on the next wing. If it weren't for me stupidly double-booking myself we likely would've gone further but, just between us, I prefer shorter-than-a-decathlon raids anyway.

Continuation is rescheduled for tomorrow and I have high hopes.

...I hope I don't regret saying that.

UPDATE (Sunday, 9:52pm): Continuation was a little rocky. Banakin couldn't make it due to difficulties with his connection. With some spectacular effort from some of our newer raiders we still managed to get down Patchwerk and Grobbulus. Big thanks to Naarah and Atastycookie for being so patient with us.
