Thanks to Siona for making the movie. We’ve had few attempts last week but due to sudden connection problems with different members, we didn’t have the correct setup until now. We’re happy we got these now even though both Apathy and Good Game (I can’t find their website for the love… someone link it please) got the kill weeks before us.

Stay tuned for more content soon.

Edit: Thanks Ospon

Wrath of the Lich King first. Short update on the guild, we’ve been levelling like crazy over the weekend. The dust is settling as everyone is getting used to new talent specs and spells.

Not much happening leading up to the expansion. Following the below posts, alliance raid managed to finish off the last horde faction leader granting the raid another trophy mount. The bears are cool looking with the Alliance blue colour armour. Although after much gloating from the Alliance side and some obviously taunting fake posts on the realm forums, Horde side organised it’s own raid successfully and earned their achievement as well. Well done to both.

Their bears have red colour armour as you can see in the photo.

I’ll try to post more during the weeks leading up to the expansion, giving you the insight of how Infamous is handling the transition to WotLK and our imminent success in the expansion.

BONUS VIDEO: Late of the Pier – Bears Are Coming

It was too early in the morning for fancy screenshots. Video should be incoming from Cylia.

The raid was suggested and planned by Ignatus (achievement & mount whore) for 5am GMT/6am CET in the morning. Most have stayed up all evening while the sensible ones got some sleep after all. The raid didn’t take long to fill as we weren’t stuck for interested people on the server thanks to Union, Good Game, Endurance and others who took their time to help out.

First up was Thrall which was the major failing of the last raid. He was dropped shortly and we proceeded to Undercity to attempt Lady Sylvanas. After seeing that her demon friend doesn’t count anymore towards the encounter, it was just a matter of DPSing her down while she vanished and popped up at random places in her throne room. The raid moved to Thunderbuff and we proceeded to wipe once and then get a good sense of the fight mechanic which requires many tanks and constant taunting to keep on top of the aggro list. Hunters who were unlucky to have their feign deaths resisted were left to die and resurrect immediately after. This was the only way to clear threat and keep up the constant DPS which hunters were a major part of.

This is when it got interesting, we got him down to 1% eventually and few seconds after he was about to drop dead and give us the final achievement and even better one after you’ve had all four faction leaders killed, he healed up fully to 100% and the whole process began again. Ok, he has a re-incarnate or ankh or something, we straightened up and continued with the encounter again to see him heal back fully to 100% after DPSing him down again. Uncalled for really and we stopped the raid soon after.

This might be a bug with Guardian Spirit, if two priests got into range and cast it right before he was about to die, it would heal him to 100%.

With the impending release of WotLK, patch 3.0 is upon us with a whole host of changes to the game we call WoW. The number changes have been huge and such that server instability and queues have become common, mostly from all the paladins renewing their accounts. The masters of the arcane are the ones at the top of the PvP pyramid though with protection warriors, yes protection warriors not far behind (aided by people having a fit of laughter at being attacked by a ‘tank’ which gives mr tank the small window he/she needs to shockwave their asses into the dirt).

In the pve scene put simply everything is nerfed, we raided on the infamous patch day (excuse the pun -ed) and despite numerous problems and some elaborate specs we managed to 17 man Bruttalus and defeat Felmyst with only one priest.

Finally the achievment system, most people love it, others pretend to pity those that strive to explore the deepest caves of Azeroth but everyone loves the “SHCHBOOM” sound when you achieve the honourable feat of killing a lvl 61 warlock before he dismounts in the field of strife. The black war bear is what we all hunger for though and despite coming close (9%) to ending Thrall, the horde or more importantly cyclone were victorious… for now.

Not sure if you guys read other blogs but BRK and Outofmana sponsored a gnome race to Booty Bay in which the winner (and last loser) got a beta key. I remember doing this on other servers before when Bladefist would go down on us. Such great fun, especially when the tigers and gorillas start killing the gnomes.

Trying to resurrect the best from the long gone afkgamer.com (anyone have a clue what happened there?). Where in the WoW is this statue buried?

I’m sure everyone and their friends are trying to go around old content to reveal the whole map for the Explorer title.

Congratulations to Fin (Lionel) on the amazing bow. Our annual legendary assignment from the loot Gods have given us this amazing item. In the screenshot from left: Paladin Mexican, Fin, Sjo (who seeded the instance). The bow dropped during the funniest Kil’jaeden kill we’ve done so far.

After all the melee  and few ranged dying at around 14%, the rest of the DPS and healers kept the fight going until the last and eight dragon shield was used. We got him to 1% and everyone did their best to survive, ice blocks, soulstones, etc. After the darkness killed everyone but Ignatus (mage), Kil’jaeden died. The laughs on ventrilo followed the best and funniest boss kill so far for Infamous.

We always sucked at these kill shots. This happened some time last week but I think everyone wasn’t happy with the nerfed version of M’uru. Given the amount of time we spent on this boss, I’m glad we’re past it now and can focus on the end boss.

In other news, we’re still recruiting the following classes:

• 1 Shadow Priest
• 1 Protection Paladin or Warrior
• 1 Restoration Shaman
  

You can apply on our forums (link on the right) or contact any of the Officers or Class leaders in game.

UPDATED: No longer recruiting shamans.

We’re currently recruiting one hunter.

Time has come for Infamous to recruit in order to help us in our progress through Sunwell. We thought we’d be fine with certain classes until the start of WOTLK, but things change and we’re looking at recruitment to bolster our ranks.

We’ve been around since WoW began and most of our members have been in the guild for long term, many who have stopped previously also playing casually and interacting with everyone daily. Most people have different goals but the guild’s priority was always end game raiding and hence this post.

We raid four nights per week (Thursday, Sunday-Tuesday) starting at 19:00 GMT on weekdays with a 18:00 GMT start on Sunday. The raids normally finish at 23:00 GMT most of the time as majority of the raiders have to be up early for jobs or other commitments. As opposed to other “top” guilds, we prefer quality over quantity so if you’re looking to raid seven days per week, please look somewhere else. Most of the members in the guild are around 23 years of age or above and since most are either working professionally or studying, we strive to use the time we have for raiding in the most productive manner for new content and progress.

We’re looking for a new addition to our roster who is mature, competent and an exceptional player. Ability to communicate within the class and in the guild is highly required while being vocal on ventrilo will make sure you’re heard during the raids when something important needs to be communicated.

Class Requirement

Let’s be honest here, I play a hunter and it’s not the most difficult task in the world. Once you have your rotation down, your macros sorted and maxed your gear selection and with the assistance of addons so you know when to spend that 80 mana, you should do fine. We’re looking for an all round player who can adapt quickly and learn from their mistakes, listen to tactics/strategy and even contribute when needed. Most of all you should be confident in playing your class and striving to achieve higher results. Your actions wonâ??t be unnoticed whether good or bad. Your gear should be on par with the end bosses in BT/Hyjal and any new Sunwell gear is a bonus. We’re not looking for players we need to gear up, we have plenty of those in line, and you should be able to step into Sunwell from day one and compete with other classes on the DMs.

To apply please head over to our forums and take some time to register and write a private application to Dudevon, detailing the following:

1. Character name
2. Race
3. Current server (transfers are welcome, but lets talk first.)
4. Link to armory profile or any other profile websites. (if you’re wearing different gear for pvp or specced for another role, mention this)
5. List of any alts you have and why you levelled them.
6. Your playing hours, and any times of the week you will be inconsistently unavailable.
7. Guild History. Short explanation of your guild choices and reasons for joining/departing.
8. Brief explanation of your character end game gear choices and talents. How you see yourself in the game months ahead? Do you have any WWS parses for us?
9. Your future plans with WoW. Do you want to keep playing well into the new expansion.
10. Reasons for leaving the current guild? Why do you want to join Infamous.
11. Personal information. Tell me about yourself, your name, age, where you live (im not cybering). How long you played WoW? Do you play any other games? Anything you might think is interesting.
12. Some applications will be posted on the private forums to be discussed by other officers and class leaders, if you donâ??t want this to happen, can you please state so and explain why.
