We’re Not Dead! (But Lots Of Bosses Are.)
This is a temporary placeholder post to tell the world that no, we’re not dead — we just have a very slack guild blogger (i.e. me).
So, what have we been up to since last I updated?
Well, we got up to Mimiron in Ulduar-25 when we lost a pile of raiders to various RL issues all in one fell swoop, and we took a hiatus from Ulduar and went off to clear ToC-10 instead. We farmed ToC-10 and Ony-10 and -25 until 3.3 brought us Icecrown Citadel. Once we had the numbers, we cleared Marrowgar, Deathwhisper, the Gunship, and Saurfang in quick succession in 25-man Icecrown, but we haven’t had the numbers to make consistent progress beyond the Lower Spire.
So instead, we’ve brutalized the place in 10-mans; Sindragosa and Putricide fell to us a couple of weeks ago, and we’re working on the Lich King fight now. It’s very exciting! ;-)
So that’s what we’ve been up to. I’ll post some backdated updates with kill shots as soon as I get the chance.
In the meantime, if you’re interested in joining us, check out our recruitment page for more info – we’re very keen for a few more DPS and healers!

Not with content, but with blog updates!
So, what have we been up to for the last few months? Well, after downing Malygos, we finished off Sartharion +2D, and farmed Naxx until Ulduar’s release. Unfortunately, attrition thinned out our ranks just as Ulduar was released, and apart from killing Flame Leviathan we struggled for enough numbers to put a raid together – although on April 22nd we did get the server first Orbital Bombardment (Flame Leviathan +1 tower hardmode).
In mid-May, however, our numbers recovered and we swung back into action – seven bosses down in eight weeks.
Now we’re currently at 8/14 Ulduar, with Freya on notice. The next few weeks should be fun and loot-filled!
Recruitment reminder!
We’re still open for recruitment – we’re currently looking for 2-3 extra DPSers to round out the raiding team.
And that, my friends, was that!
After half-a-dozen hours of practice and wipes, the Big Blue Dragon went down for the count, giving us Big Purple Shinies.
So, all bosses are dead! Now we’re just working on the remaining achievements, and we’ll be all done for Ulduar! Congrats to the raid team – great work, everyone!

Last night was a fantastic raid; everything went right, and at the end of it Kel’Thuzad was lying dead at our feet for the first time – unimpressive black ball that he is.
Sixteen WotLK bosses dead – one to go!
Read MoreMore Progress: Four Horsemen & Twilight Assist
This is a rather delayed progression post, but:
Last Wednesday, we headed back to the Military Quarter and faced down the Four Horsemen. After a bit of tinkering most of our raid solved their constant disconnection problems (although our DK tank did wind up tanking Rivendare while mostly offline, which takes a special kind of gift) and it didn’t take long at all before the Four Horsemen gave way in front of our might.
(Of course, then we had to beat the Chest Boss. What were Blizzard thinking?!)
And this weekend we went back to Sartharion, intent on doing things the hard way.
Coming shortly, recruitment news. Watch this space!
Read MoreIn Which We See (and Kill) More of Naxxramas
Sunday saw us taking a temporary break from slaughtering wave after wave of undead monstrosities to go and slaughter a dragon instead.
Then we turned around and headed back to Naxxramas, to finish off Thaddius:
and take a look at the Plague Quarter:
Last night, we went back in to take a look at the Military Quarter.
The pictures speak for themselves, really.
We’d hoped to get the Four Horsemen down as well, and we’ve got the strat straight; once we can get a good attempt at them without a third of the raid DCing repeatedly, we’ll do just fine.
