Killed our 5th boss on heroic mode in our 25man group on Thursday.

Both the 10man and the 25man version down

Big news should be that we killed Blood-Queen, which we did. Sadly we forgot that it was a first kill so no screenshot. Really interesting fight, just not tuned hard enough which hopefully heroic mode will sort.

What else? We picked up a  world 65th Nausea, Heartburn, Indegestion…. Not very challenging to do but still another server first and world top 100 achievement to add to our big bag of achievements.

In the purpose of not ending up without a instance like yesterday we had several players log on hours before our raid to grab a fresh instance. While the queues were as bad today as yesterday with queues up to 300 people by 8 o’clock the lag was significantly less and the server didn’t crash.

We took the opportunity of a less laggy server to try to get some achievements done. Wall of texts for those interested

We started off on Lord Marrowgar, graphically nicely done fight and while a little boring he wasn’t that horrible. At least the jumping around you did as a tank was fun to some extent. Back to the achievement, Boned as it’s called is basically just good switching from dps to the poor souls that been trapped. You have 3-4 bone spikes on random raidmembers to kill within 8sec. After having 1 go to look on how the fight works we decided to have a real go on it. Went pretty nicely until a unnamed hunter decided to disengage and get bone spiked far away from the raid and as I was counting in my head “six seconds..seven seconds…eigh…down” we weren’t really sure if we made it, after a short discussion on vent we decided to deliberately wipe since the boss was easy anyway. Third go is a charm they tell me and we did excellent with all bone spikes killed within 5s every time. Sadly did we discover the reason no guild has done it on our kill. Achievement is bugged and you do not gain any credit.

Dissapointed but with spirits still high we went onwards to Lady Deathwhisper and her minions. This fight got two phases, phase one is burning down the boss as well as the packs of adds that she spawn and phase two is burning down the boss. Nothing to complicated, but that is why we got achievements. Achievement for this boss is called Full House and basically requires that you keep 5 different type of adds alive through the whole of phase two. Not as easy as it sounds apparently. After wiping for a hour figuring out different tactics to handle the adds we finally nailed it with a near flawless kill in the end. We’re quite happy with that seeing as WoWprogress list us as the world third to do it.

Gunship battle was silly and half the raid didn’t know what the hell we were doing but we stilled killed it on the first go. Sadly bugs double hit us twice her. Firstly we didn’t get credit for the achievement I’m on a Boat and secondly the gunship bugged out and didn’t move when the battle was over so we had to suicide and run back in.

Deathbringer Saurfang was a little disspointment. After wiping on the first attempt because 1 of our tanks game crashed we went back in and killed him and did I’ve Gone and Made a Mess before the 4th mark.

Overall I would say that except for Lady Deathwhispers Full House there wasn’t anything even remotely challenging. Feels like the instance is balanced around a 10man raid and not a 25man. Other than the the scenery was nice.

Finally some exiting news, after months of boredom Icecrown is finally here.

So how is the status amongst Infamous brave heroes. After making a generation change in our healer squad we finally managed to get a stable core again. DPS is better than ever with several players fighting on top 20 dps lists worldwide and tanking is as solid as ever.

What we done the last month is to spend a little time to help the excellent leadership of our alt/friend guild put I Stab Your Face on the map. I Stab have gone in a few months through excellent leadership and dedication put itself on the map to be serious competition to semi-hardcore guilds on the server, as well as being the 4th highest ranked 10man guild on the server. Quite impressive from a guild that never recruited anyone that isn’t either a alt or a friend.

Back to Infamous. As those of you reading the forums lately have noticed we have had a intense recruitment zerg to find 2-3 excellent players to bring in some more competition in the guild. We found 2 poor recruits to initiate the next few weeks and if they make the trial I’ll make a post to introduce our newest members.

Still Recruiting:

• 1 Shaman (Enha/Resto)
