I had a lot of fun with this one, which works well since it’s a fun fight! You can access it from the video menu at the top or through this link.
I think there is a good amount of anticipation for this patch which will be releasing the new boss Halion into the Ruby Sanctum. It will also be the end of AVR in it’s current form as well as the addition of Battle.net Real ID. There will not be any major changes to the classes however, which I’m sure some were wishing upon a star for. Let’s take a look at what we are getting.
Another Heroic boss down in ICC to make us 8/12 heroic, a week after quickly defeating Blood Prince Council. Lady Deathwhisper was defeated on our 2nd attempt of the night after spending an entire night on here the previous raid. It just clicked and just about everyone stayed alive. Funny how that works? This week we look forward to tackling Saurfang and getting some wok on Professor Putricide. Make sure you are caught up on your strats!
Last night we started a fresh instance and crashing through 5 heroic bosses, including 2 new heroic bosses: Bloodqueen Lana’thel and Festergut. It’s always a fun night when everyone is firing on all cylinders and working together as a team. Our BQL kill was incredibly clean, with no deaths even though we had a player DC a decent portion of the fight. Healers still kept them alive!
The BQL video has been posted on youtube, you can find it on our video menu at the top, or at THIS LINK.
The Heroic Rotface video has been posted in our video section. Go to the videos menu option at the top and choose Rotface. Using AVR and RaidWatch2. I hear if you are using AVRE then you get circles around the players that have vile gas as well.
or you can follow this link.
First night, 3 hard modes completed and a look at a 4th. Lord Marrowgar, Gunship, and Rotface were all completed. Unfortunately I didn’t get any video of the Marrowgar kill since I was expecting it to take more attempts then it did, so I had not begun recording yet. However I should be able to get our Rotface kill up. It wasn’t the cleanest kill but first kills rarely are!
Congratulations! The Lich King has been defeated!

Phases 1,1.5, 2 and 2.5 went very smoothly. This was the attempt where we stated we weren’t going to call out Defile and Valk timers, surprisingly it was exactly what we needed! After entering phase 3, several players received warm early-congratz hugs from the Vile Spirits which resulted in a slow grind of LK’s health from 30 to 10%. However, once everyone found their groove they just rinsed and repeated until he was defeated! Great job and now on to Hard Modes!!
Congratulations to the Fri/Sat night ICC10 group for their Lich King kill and Kingslayer title!!
Mega-grats to:
Pholia, Apo, Fionualla, Jourten, Halcyone, Hansazul, Taerin, Methods and our pug buds Pallina and Blackfate!!!!
You all did an exceptional job! WOOT!
Ok, so it was originally just going to be a test, but I already enjoy wordpress so much more then Joomla that we are making the swap a little prematurely! It’s nothing Gath isn’t used to already…
So over the next few days you’ll see a lot changing on our site, keep checking back for more updates!
Player Profile: Raest
Where to begin? Let’s start with February 2005. The game was The Matrix Online, the place was Mara Central, a neighborhood known for large scale PvP. Stuff like 30 vs 40 vs 20. Usually we were the underpopulated faction which obviously made things more difficult. Why Raest went with the Machines? I asked him:
MK: Hey dude why did you join the machines back in the day?
Raest: lol. seriously i had not decided when you asked me to join. I was like…”hmm..why not?” and never looked back.
I think that sorta sums it up, he figured “why not?” and has been glued to us ever since! Ok so, why are we doing a special player profile for Raest? Well 2 reasons, he has been with the guild longer then any other active member and he is perhaps one of the quietest members in the guild! Surely he should have rolled a rogue. Continue reading »
