Steel Legion

So I have been slacking..sorry about that.   First Update Rudy finally got his legendary staff, so it is useful during the current expansion.  Oak is fairly close as well now.  I wish I had some screen shots, but it happened during my test week so I missed it. Oh well.

Second Deathwing is dead on normal.  I think we have about 23 raiders that have seen him die now.  Not to bad for 1 month after release.  The big question is now, what will we be doing in a few months?  I am hoping MOP comes out by summer.  If not we might have to convert one raid night to a Diablo 3 raid night. 

Anyways the main reason for me slacking is that Dragon Soul raid just doesn’t feel as epic as previous tiers.  I mean our first night in took down 4 bosses on 25 man regular.   LFR definately helped people learn the mechanics faster, but still seemed easy.  So no epicness, no screen shots.  I think I will get one of the next 25 man kill of Spine, that would probably be an epic battle.

Our little gnome buddy is a few steps closer to that Legendary staff.  We took down the extra boss needed for quest and during the fight our little gnome turned into a giant druid tree.   At first I didn’t know whether to run away or whip out my axe and try to chop him down back to regular size.  I mean really if someone you knew had a growth like that….  Also if you look close, Rudy in tree form is not wearing any pants, if you look closely there is something little right below the “B” in “Branch”.

You perverts, it is an “i”.

Ha! Made you think we got Domo down.  Not quite yet, but they did manage to get him to 14% on Monday Night.   As I write this post, we got 4 bosses in 25 man tonight (lots o gear) plus Rudy finished his Embers part of the Legendary quest.  Grats to him, and now Oak is next in line.  Anyway here is a screen shot of Alysrazor and a little poem wrote by Esmiralda.

“There once was a gnome from Nantucket.  He spotted a flaming chicken and decided to pluck it.  With the help of his crew the little gnomes flew and now Aly’s two wings and thighs in a bucket”

Alright 4.2 is near, so we need to get some raiding mats together.  Meaning time for a Mats Drive.  And I mean a big drive, so we are giving away a Vial of the Sands Mount.  That’s right, cruise around with guild mate on your back.   Since this is going to cost the guild 30k, we are going to give you a month to fish up some fish, or herb up some herbs for flasks.   And so you don’t get discouraged, the top contributor does not automatically win, we are making it a little contest.   Here are the rules:

• Contest Period:  Ends July 15th, 2011 at Midnight Server time.
• Every time you submitted a set of items, you accumulate points.  At the end of the contest, you /roll your points and highest roll wins.
• Sets of items must be mailed/traded to Malatov to count.
• If we fill 2 full guild bank tabs with mats, we will add a Mekgineer’s Chopper for Second Place.
• If we get 4 full guild bank tabs, we will upgrade the Chopper to another Vial and give away 2 Vials 
• For the extras listed above, at least 1/4 of the mats must be flasks.
• Every stack of Seafood Magnifique Feast will get you 200 points.  A stack consist of 20 of each of the 3 fish (Highland Guppy, Lavascale Catfish, Fathom Eel).  ***Bonus*** If you included an extra stack (20) of Lavascale Catfish, the set is worth 300 points (80 fish total).
• Enough Flasks to make to TWO Battle Cauldrons will get you 100 points.  (2 of each Draconic Mind, Winds, Titanic Strength, and Steelskin)
• Centaurions who contribute a minimum of 500 points worth of items will get a 5% point bonus on everything they contribute. Cents benefit the most, so I hope they are willing to put in some effort.

Here is an example:

Adaline contributes 5 sets of fish feasts (thats 300 fish!), so he gets 1050 points (5% bonus).  Jazira contributes 160 flasks (for the contest we are not worring about Death Blood Venom), so she gets 2100 points.  Rudolpho only contributes 1 set of fish and has 200 points.  At the end of the contest we do the roll and Rudy gets 199 out of 200, Adaline huges it and rolls a 1 out of 1050, Jazira rolls 230 out of 2100 so she wins the Vial.   There are the Rules, so lets get fishing and herbing.  If you have question email Malatov in game.
