Worst kill EU has sort of been the mantra for us during progress in Icecrown Citadel, and by no means was the last fight in normal mode any different. The Lich King, the last hurdle before hard modes, was slightly annoying. After lots of tries with little progress, and the Olympics on TV, we were ready to call it quits. But a slight change in tactic suddenly meant some progress and finally, in what has to be the worlds sloppiest kill, it was RP tiem!
The server made it fairly hard to raid this lockout. We killed one of the new bosses fairly early on Thursday, but because of various issues we didn’t get to try Sindragosa before Tuesday, last day of the lockout. It started out ok, got some tries on her and had some small progress, but then she decided to bug out. After having to soft reset the instance, she worked again, and we killed her quite late in the evening. Another Worst Kill Eu for us there, but down is down so whatevs.
Someone had hidden Cardiz' mount under the dragon corpse.
Unfortunately it was pretty late, and even though we had plenty of tries left there was no time to try the Lich King himself. Hoping for a better server this week, fingers feathers crossed!
So we haven’t updated for a little while, but we have been doing a bit of raiding whenever the shitserver allows it. We killed Professor Putricide last lockout. Should have done it the week before, but that’s another story. Anyways, on to more recent stuff.
This week a new wing opened up, The Crimson Hall, containing the bosses The Blood Prince Council and Blood-Queen Lana’thel. We started on the Council, where we possibly scored the worst kill in EU after a few wipes. After the Council we went up to the Blood-Queen, and that fight can be seen here:
This lockout we got a new wing open in The Icecrown Citadel, Plagueworks. This wing contains Festergut, Rotface and Professor Putricide. Tried to do a raid on patch day, but that got fucked right up the butt by the utterly shit server that is Stormscale. Went again Thursday and killed the two first fairly easily.
So the broodmother has returned to Azeroth in a new and updated form, still breeding like crazy but not breathing as much. We swung by her lair (it’s just a cave really, hardly any gold there at all), and made quick work of her and most of her eggs. We knew Onyxia her self would be a fairly easy boss, but had some hope that the achievements would be slightly harder. Not so much as it turned out.
Summer is here close (depending a bit on how far north you live), and it’s starting to show on the sign-ups. We had plans on practicing the hard mode on Freya, or Frøya as we Norwegians call her, but settled for the semi hard mode and a day off instead. We had tried this a bit really early on, but sort of hit a brick wall, so imagine our surprise when we came back and did it in 3 tries. Good times. To balance things out we played horribly for the rest of the night.
After cancelling wednesdays raid because of the incredible crapness that is the Stormscale server, we quickly did the Flame Leviathan hard mode and got to work on the hard mode of XT-002 Deconstructor. It’s a fight that is pretty finely tuned between a tight enrage timer and heavy raid damage, and it really felt good to kill it after 15 or so tries. The kill itself wasn’t exactly perfect, but certainly good enough.
Since the server were it’s usual poopy self, we did some 10 man hard modes this weekend. There is a healthy difficulty difference between the 10 man and the 25 man hardmodes, that’s for sure. But a lot of fun was had.

Recruitment:
We are still looking for a Shadowpriest and a Warlock. If you feel you have what it takes to be a part of this guild, then hop over to our forum and make an application. Exceptional applicants of other classes might also apply.
Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
So we did. Except for the “take off” part. We didn’t really do that. A couple of grapple happy few did though. They totally took off. Go them!
We mostly hunt at night. Mostly.
The server was slightly better than usual for a wednesday night. A small break while it was at it’s worst was all we really needed, which is a welcome diversion from the usual cancelled raids on wednesdays. This means we will get lots of time for hard modes the rest of this week.
Holy Paladin
