Dragons and Magmaw down

Updated raid progress : Finally got Magmaw in Blackwing Descent down. Done in classic Liquid Courage style with 2% left and one man left standing. (I forgot to get a pitcture of it!) Also to add to the list, Valiona And Theralion:


But oddly we've hit a snag. After managing to get the dragon's down twice already, suddenly we can't seem to get them down again. Same thing happened to the other 10 man group and their recent Halfus attempt. They just could not get the boss down. People are definately slacking.

Another lil annoyance: I've done every single raid that has been organized by the guild and not one drop for me. Or if it did drop, I didnt have enough DKP to contend with the more veteran members of the guild (whose DKP points rolled over from Wrath).

This week we also tried out the very mechanic crazy fight: The Ascendant Council. Very fun! But the fight is highly unforgiving, requiring everyone to do everything right. We wiped a million times on it and ran out of time. I think we could definately get the boss down easy, but I'm concerned over the slacking. We might not get a chance to get to them very soon if it keeps up.


Ascendant Council. Fighting 2 bosses at the same time and both have to be brought down the same % health. Always a fun mechanic. Then again in phase 2 with 2 other bosses.

This raiding is requiring much time farming mats. Fishing for Deepsea Sagefish (which doesnt drop very often) and flying around searching for herbs to make flasks is an all consuming task. The markets are too young and expensive at this point to just keep buying them.

Halfus Down

1st Week of raiding, our optional 10 man night got Halfus down in Bastion of Twilight in 4 tries. How bout them apples? Down side: an agility staff dropped that had to be DE'd. :( So damn excited to be a part of this raid at the beginning and be a contributing factor in the progression of our guild. With luck on our side we continued onto Baradin Hold to down the Raid boss the same night as well. You can't stop this awesomeness!


tragic
  Venturing onto the next boss: The twin dragons. Yeah that wasnt going to happen. For the record, the Purple Dragon is harder to heal through than the Pink Dragon.

It's for the Best

So I go kicked again. *laughs*. But this time I didn't even do anything, I swear! Rayon decided to leave Holy Legion and all our alts got kicked. I was pissed at first, but now that I've had time to reflect, I see they did us a big favor.

The very first day Rayon was a member of Liquid Courage, he raided 25 man Bastion of Twilight as Main Tank. He went from a guild that ignored their own talent so everyone and their mother could re-roll tank to a guild that gave him the position he deserves.
Preparing to raid 25 man Bastion of Twilight. With both Matszuzaka and Rayon present.

And then I get blamed for him leaving! Like the decision wasn't so crystal clear to begin with.

Have fun Alisha and Profion raiding with 2 healers and 7 tanks and 1 hunter. Let me give you a reality check on how all this is probably gonna pan out: Gaze into the future with me if you will....

**Yoshi, bored and frustrated at the lack of progress and minimal able players, ninja logs once more. But this time, to run back to Horde side. (He's already placed his hunter there - fact).

**Easily convincing Profion to do whatever he pleases, he persuades him and a couple friends to faction change back to Horde (after all they've done it twice already when times got tough).

**Alisha stubbornly refuses to faction change is left stranded and alone, lamenting on how unfairly she was treated without a hint of hypocrisy.

**Guild disbands. The End.

Rayon may have left of his own accord, but now it's about saving the good players that don't deserve to be sitting on the sinking ship that is Holy Legion.


Raiding Magmaw in Blackwing Descent with Liquid Courage

Kuulus, Jonassis, Momir, Hyli...I'm talking about you guys! Let's keep the family together.

Now that I think of it, Kuulus might be a hard sell. I think he may be just a little tired of my antics. Just a little bit. You love me!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! Fresh Beginnings anyone?
