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.
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!
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.
Bonus picture:
Nice tabard m8 xD.
So Thorim decided that hard mode is too hard, and stopped casting some of his lightning. We got this meaningless achievement out of it. Hopefully the real deal will be back soon, so we can get it the proper way. Also hoping that the server will shape up and we won’t lose 2 hours of raidtime every night.
Onwards to Freya with more stuff!
Start of the new lockout and we manage to take down the first four bosses, but with the exception of Flame Leviathan all other bosses laggs like crazy. Kinda like the Cat Lady. Very varied latency make us stop the 25 man raid at Council. Instead we formed a 10 man raid for some achievements.
Notable ones were killing Freya with two Elders up and Hodir within the three minute limit for the rare cache. The “special” loot from Hodir was Shiver.
