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.
So, the page is finally back up and we have done a few more things. We did the Assembly of Iron aka Iron Council hardmode, and last lockout also completed the hardmode on General Vezax aptly named I Love the Smell of Saronite in the Morning. We didn’t have helicopters, but there were definitely some flying involved. However there were no fat guy in a cave at the end.
This lockout we also had a lucky paladin getting the legendary Val’anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings. Grats to Lurppa for getting more bubbles.
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.
