This kill was supposed to have come two days ago but due to one person not showing up (no names mentioned but his name starts with T and ends in elia) we figured out with our great minds that wasting attempts when you're up to an important challenge = bad and thus we called the raid to tonight. After a late raidstart since we reckoned the lag would be heavy (as it was primetime sunday) we took 2-3 attempts teaching our 7-8 fellas that hadn't been on the fight whatsoever how to play.
Then we fucked up some.
And then we did one of the cleanest first kills I have ever seen, it was pretty much perfect except from 1 player death from once again no names. But he buffs melee and he's big, blue and fucking ugly.
And for those of you who are still reading this shit we managed to get what seems to be world 1st Been Waiting a Long Time for This achievement, due to some rng with our tactic that I presume everyone's using to some extent. Best part being nobody noticed until the achievement flashed up when he died!
Hardmodes next week so stay tuned!
Currently very much looking for a Restoration Druid! (and an exceptional ranged)
After team melee with myself in the lead clearly sacrificed our title for building the almost perfect strat for our fellow team ranged (which has since Ulduar days gotten alot of various insults, taunts and wise words during the shitstorm that is my nerdrage) to allow them to finish him off. Slightly closer to attempts than we anticipated after a strong opening from team ranged, reaching phase 5 after 2 wipes.
Some finetuning, pauses for lagspikes and of course with the usual disconnecting warrior that is Hugme (that's what you get when you buy russian lowcost internet) later on lead to this:
Movies are incoming from several sources I hear so check back soon.
Onwaaaaaaaaaaaards to greater glory!
Recruiting a moonkin + exceptional applicants that isn't melee.. or tank.
First shit down, nothing much to mention. Valithria is a joke and Sindragosa isn't that much of a joke.
Best part of Sindragosa must be the invisible Frost Tombs that put our tanks and melee out of line of sight and wiped us.. Picture might not be that clear but Dazzling is standing on the invisible frost tomb/wall that you can't run past or heal through, fun times.
Onwaaaaaaaaaaaards!
10 mans for building strats ftl..
Frostmane unplayable after 19:00 even bigger FTL.
Since I never got around to actually update the news with our BQ-kill when it was somewhat fresh I figured I might as well wait until Sindragosa.
But now I'm sitting here and I'm fucking bored so I'll throw whoever reading this some updates that I know is of extreme relevance to your interests.
Ranked after importance:
1. Dread has hit the gold cap without even using our guildbank as his private stash!! This is some serious shit that requires some special attention.
2. To move or not to move - that is the question; anyone playing on Frostmane right now knows the lag is unbearable at peak hours. We have consistently been calling raids around 8 pm for several weeks now (ever since ICC was released actually) due to the massive lag, and although the server's slightly less laggy after the fcm opened (and I do mean SLIGHTLY) it's still completely unplayable for a few hours.
We do recognize that we're gonna be needing a good server if we want to be any serious competitor to anyone who isn't lagging but yeah.. some of us actually likes hanging around with our inet pals we've made throughout the years on Frostmane.. who would have thought!
How it ends up will be obvious in a few days..
3. Multisport is too pro for meta gems, true story! Although keeping the screenshot for my collection that I'll hopefully release when Arthas has died, that contains of... how to put this.. many screenshots of the few of the worst fuckups we've had during WotLK.
pm: looking for screenshots from other members as well!
4. We killed Blood Queen pretty fast, but as everyone knows, we had GM powers during ptr that allowed us to actually test it while a whole lot of people were locked outside the doors.
Sorry fellows, we'll lend them to you next time!
5. Achievements - from (almost) all of us a sincere fuck you blizzard when you make shit achievements as full house as a requirement for a mount. What we want is the kind of achievements that rewards us when we're doing the fight exceptionally good, such as Saurfang (albeit too easy) and Blood Princes, not the kind of shit you get to do with Deathwhisper or Putricide.
But we'll prevail so we can have ourselves shiny mounts.
We went in tonight and butchered Putricide on the 2nd attempt after an enrage wipe on the first try. Although we did go with a full maingroup after US hyping the boss' difficulty so yeah, in hindsight not much resistance was perhaps to be expected. They probably went in and did it with alts and not having a clue what was to come, because the fight isn't really hard tactic-wise nor is it very random since you often can outmaneuver the few rng-things about it as long as you're aware of how the encounter works. What you probably need though is gear to meet the dps requirements.
Going to try this with alts and we'll see if our alts are too shit to loot him or not but now I'm rambling;
We still thought it was worth noting even though we did it with a full maingroup so we could bump the recruitment post!
