Knock, Knock, Knockers

We killed mother earth with her three tree buddies tonight after a few nights of attempts. Definitely one of the more difficult fights, execution-wise, but satisifying.

knock x 3

In addition to this, our 10-man progression crew knocked out Glory of the Ulduar Raider this weekend and were rewarded with their lovely Mauve protodrakes (or whatever). Congrats to them!

Dumb Quotes

Orbituary: “You thought to stand before the Legions of death…and survive?”

We “knocked out” Knock, Knock, Vezax hard and Flame Leviathan four tower since my last update…

he is no barry bonds
this almost took longer than learning this fight

My kill shots weren’t saved to disk, so just imagine a bunch of people standing in front of me, a few people pointing the wrong way and a bunch of particle effects going off.

Man, the 80s were lame (1979, technically). Also we did this on Tuesday I’ve just been slacking on the update.

Dumb Quotes

Brodirs before Hodirs. Also, Steelbreaker.

We knocked out a couple more hard modes in the last few days, but due to a new computer and our website’s hard drive having a catastrophic failure I’ve been unable to update until now. We choose this guy:

I choo-choo-choose you!

Then we saw this sign and had to head on over to see what its about:

ho-crossin

There was much rejoicing:

Also we wasted some time and money and got another feather in our cap of pointless Thunderfurys:

Losing our Illusions

We polished off hard-mode Thorim tonight with a bit of effort. First fun/marginally challenging fight of the instance really. No clever picture today, still recovering from having to come up with something for every boss in the instance in a week and a half…

Legions kills Yogg-Saron, Old God of Dentistry

We spent the last couple nights with Yogg, that black-sheep of the old-god pantheon. The one that Mama Tentacle always chides, “why can’t you be more like your brother C’thun?” Those Freudian mother issues drove him a little insane and he turned urban subculture, B-movie acting and artificial mouth enhancement to try to fit in better:

he is a hip urban old god

Legions put him out of his misery.

Loot was:
Soulscribe - Grats Fowltempered
Chestguard of Insidious Intent - Grats Xylla
Conqueror’s Darkruned Pauldrons- Grats Frostfurby
Conqueror’s Kirin Tor Shoulderpads- Grats Epiphani

Q: What do you call a boss whose trash is harder than he is?
A: General Vezax.

If this guy was hard I had this whole idea about doing a B-52s parody where he was called “Cock Blockster.” However, my rule of thumb is don’t spend longer on the kill graphic than it took us to learn the fight, so instead you get this:

M-M-Monster Kill: Legions is on a Killing Spree

Busy week for Legions, busy week for our front page. We downed four new bosses again tonight. Rather than try to come up with something clever for each or make another stupid montage, I opted to give our readers some real insight into how Blizzard designs boss encounters:

hi ard

Legions clears some more Midbosses

Another night, few more bosses down. Too many bosses this week, I’m out of clever commentary. Auriaya is buggy and poorly designed; having her four stupid trash cats respawn midfight is real fun.

this fight is about as fun as having cats thrown at your head, oh wait

Hodir on the other hand is the life of the party and always a cool dude to have around. HO-DIR: OH YEAH!!!

HO-DIR: OH YEAH!!!

Loot:

Platinum Band of the Aesir - Grats Ketrew
Unwavering Stare - Grats Periwinkle
Libram of the Resolute - Grats Aramul
Northern Barrier - Grats Ketrew

Conqueror’s Deathbringer Robe - Grats Blacksabath
Conqueror’s Aegis Breastplate - Grats Fruitloops

Finishing up the first week of 3.1 tomorrow (though to be fair, we’ve really only had about 3 days worth of raiding…)!
