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.
Last night we managed one more achievement, killing Freya with one Elder up. On Sunday we got a minor one on Hodir, as our members do not know how to move and prevent the stacks.
We also had a few attempts at Thorim, but we will not kill him in hardmode before people learn how to move. Wait, that sounds familiar.. So we only got the half way there achievement
Healing the tank in the tunnel should also boost our chances.
Superku does much better screens than me, nag on him to take more!
This lockout we started with a semi-hard Flame Leviathan. We left two towers up and attacked with our army of war engines.
After some attempts and driver shuffling we got him down in a flawless kill with two towers still standing. My only objection is that the chopper side car is not designed for a Tauren!
The first night of the lockout resulted in six other kills, up to Auriaya, despite the difficult conditions with latency spikes.
If you wonder where Get to da choppa! is from the answer is here
When you hear Blizzard is doing another round of adjustments to make the raid bosses easier in Ulduar, you can’t avoid thinking of the amounts of people streaming into the instance to raid. That is bad news for existing raiders who already experience very poor performance during evenings on Stormscale. Where are the plans to improve the situation so there actually is capacity for all the raiders?
On the last day of the first lockout in Ulduar we finally killed the old god Yogg-Saron.
Drops:
A very fun, and challenging fight. The hard mode is going to be insane! This kill concludes our journey into Ulduar on “easy mode” and now the real fun begins.
Oh, and we killed Ignis the Furnace Master on Monday. Boy did he get nerfed hard.
