Eternity Vault Hardmode

Saturday, mostly on a whim, Jee wanted to go hardmode EV to see how it differed from normal. Lacking enough level 50 player for a 8 man raid we got our regular stand-in Procch and someone from the general chat. Yes, you read the last part right.

Jee was the last man standing when the boss went down.

The dreadful turret start got easier once we learned the turret could be cc’d. On the first boss we ran into the enrage timer a few times until at 2% the Operation seemed to fail once again, but Jee managed to bring him down very shortly after.

We went on to the second boss, and performed better cause here we had not one, but two people left at enrage. See, improvement!

Purple beam!

The puzzle boss was pretty easy for a hardmode fight. The challenge was waiting for the other side to finish 😉 The remaining encounter was done on the second attempt once the positioning was corrected.

After the operation was complete we started on the project pink lightsaber, but got distracted by a datacron

Eternity Vault cleared and some Hutt got his evening ruined

I don’t know what monster it was, but it was big, mean and pissed off.

As soon as our second healer reached 50, nam journed into Eternity Vault. After some initial struggles with the first sentry pull (the hardest pull in the instance) the rest was for the most part straight forward. We brought a random dps in for all the aim loot as our own powertech was away on other business. Probably underground trading so hush hush. On the screenshot you will see some old nam members like Je, Agrajag, Agrophel, Borcster and Shamyda.

In a galaxy f..illed up to the brim

Plenty of people who played for nam at the launch of World of Warcraft several years ago have started to play Star Wars: The Old Republic. You will find us on the server Bloodworthy which is likely to have a Scandinavian influence with several large guilds starting there.

Save the cheerleader, save the world

Remember this guy?

This dragon made some nasty threats

We started the raid lockout on 4.3 on Thursday and cleared up to and including the new boat encounter. Sunday we were able to ride the back despite Deathwing’s best attempt to barrel roll. On the last Deathwing encounter we ran into trouble with the Cataclysm with the setup we had. Thanks to the cute Tauren Alysanne for helping us out on Sunday.

Due to computer trouble we were one tank down and had to redo the raid compostion drafting in the M.I.A. druid Runningfree. Some nice dual healing by Jaelin and Fisteh made for a shorter fight with our priest Marijana reaching for her shadow powers.

After a couple of warm ups we entered second phase , but were one dps down and had to start over. Some more attemps and Deathwing was finally down. Azeroth is safe again until next expansion when the Pandas mess things up!

Thrall comes in after all our work and takes the glory.

Sunblazer got Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps

Schnaps got Blade of the Unmaker

Doug missed the final video and had to stand idly by Thrall until he was asked to leave.
