Legions kills another stupid dragon

Malloc — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 07:23:05 +0000

Halion is some evil dragon who lives in the basement of the Wyrmrest Temple, has a split personality and probably listens to Death Cab for Cutie or Fallout Boy. Here is a picture of him I found on makeoutclub:

Loot was:
Cloak of Burning Dusk - Grats Leura
Charred Twilight Scale - Grats Smoothie
Umbrage Armbands - Grats Workz

After Lich King Heroic, this guy was anticlimactic. The biggest challenge in the fight was battling the post-Lich King Heroic apathy and getting a decent raid composition online to kill him. Perhaps, in that particular way, Halion represents a fitting keystone on the lackluster 25-man raiding environment of WotLK. For now, we look forward to Cataclysm and the challenges it will bring!

RECRUITING!
On that note, we are opening recruiting all classes for Cataclysm 25 raiding. If you’re interested and think you have what it takes, apply here.

Hail to the King, Baby

After many months of effort, countless delays and false starts, hundreds of fish feasts and bad jokes, we finally succeeded in killing Lich King Heroic. Certainly the hardest (non-nerfed) fight in the expansion, to the point where it felt out of place. Definitely a test of our willpower, but in the end, in the battle of Head versus Wall: Head prevails!

As we spent longer learning each individual phase than we do learning a typical boss, I did a little something for each:

Phase 1

Phase 2

Phase 3

Drops were:

Fal’inrush, Defender of Quel’thalas - Grats Tilesohh
Royal Scepter of Terenas II - Grats Xtermz

A satisfying, if draining boss to cap off a somewhat lackluster expansion. One of the few kills we actually had to work for in WotLK (as predicted). Cataclysm (and the Ruby Sanctum), hooooooooo!

A kill this long in the making calls for a truly epic backlog of quotes:

Back that axe up

Thanks to some uncharacteristically good luck (and a very strong random seed), Aramul the Loremaster gathered the last Shadowfrost Shard he needed tonight to complete Frostmourne’s long-lost half brother (and secret lover to Arthas), Shadowmourne:

Here are some pictures of him looking manly (or Draenei-ly):

Congrats!

Aramul, being Aramul

Oh my yes: Professor Putricide down, hard mode style

Back in my day, we had to actually ask a real live person to about which classes to take and which to avoid. Nowadays, enterprising students just do everything online:

Just one dude left, should be a push over, right?

ENTRU’S LEAST FAVORITE PART OF THE FRONT PAGE

Sindragosa is OFF THE CHAIN

This is the worst fight possibly ever designed for WoW. Any fight which has a core mechanic which keeps half your raid from being able to hit their fun buttons for a good 40% of the fight is NOT GOOD DESIGN.

An impressive kill after some rough nights.

Legions says potato, Deathbringer Saurfang says potauto

Not since Scholomance has a fictional name wrought so much uncertainty in the hearts of RP-obsessed nerds everywhere:

First hardmode fight we’ve spent any real time on that actually had some tuning to it. Even so, the biggest obstacle was keeping our healers online during the encounter.

Blood Queen blah blah blah

Vampires aren’t really a big thing in Warcraft. Really though, it was only a matter of time until Blizzard ran out of pop-culture tropes to steal. A single boss with some vampire-ish abilities would have been reasonable. A whole wing? Is one of the game designers a tweenage girl, scrawling encounter designs in her Lisa Frank notebooks?

With a legendary killing blow by our tank, we put this hard mode to bed.

We got some more Protector tokens, and grats Lifeforce on Dying Light.

Obviously, we’ve also done a few other hard modes, but nothing particularly notable. End bosses get front page treatment though!

Legions puts Arthas to rest, Normal mode Icecrown Citadel complete!

We completed our ascent to the top of Icecrown Citadel today, killing Arthas and getting a cool title and a server first! Here is an artists rendition of the citadel and our progression through it:

Congrats to everyone! Loot was:

Archus, Greatstaff of Antonidas - Grats Xtermz
Heaven’s Fall, Kryss of a Thousand Lies - Grats Baltraz
Plus two Vanq tokens - Grats Shelendil and Smoothie!

On to hard modes!

Sindragosa gets iced

Malloc — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:57:27 +0000

We finished up the normal-mode Frostwyrm Wing of Icecrown Citadel today after a bit of work on Sindragosa. I’m not quite sure how to feel about this fight: on the one hand, the mechanics of the ice blocks are pretty cool and the fight itself is a pretty cool fight. On the other hand, the debuffs prevent me from playing my class for like half the fight, which isn’t exactly fun. In any case, I sort of wished I were a mage for this fight: the potential for fucking with people is high.

Onto the Lich King himself!

Good news, everyone! Legions kills Professor Putricide!

With no new post-worthy content for nearly three months, the front page had been looking a little dead! Why, with all the casualization of the game, I’d nearly forgotten how to chop a picture. No matter, you’ll really enjoy what I have for you!

After farming that terrible excuse for a raid instance ToC into the ground, we finally got some new content in the form of Icecrown Citadel. We’ve plowed through all the easy mode bosses, and with hard-modes still weeks out on the horizon, I worried I wouldn’t have a good excuse to update the front page. Luckily, clearing the second wing gave me some good material.

Here is a picture of our intrepid tank Ikonic sucking up Slurm, erm, Slime, during the encounter:

Loot was:

Rigormortis - Grats Smoothie
Two Vanquisher tokens - Grats Apeschat and Chickenfeet

The best part about having a raiding alt is I can put myself in twice as many quotes! Now, for the backlog you’ve all been waiting for:
