Unity Path Defeat The Crimson Hall! (Realm First)Whilst it has to be said we made a complete mess of the fight the previous instance reset, the highlight being wiping at 2% in a night filled with new and wonderful ways of self-destructing on the way down, the return bout this week yielded a kill within four pulls. An excellently tuned fight, completely […] Unity Path Defeat The Plagueworks! (Realm First)None of us thought that Blizzard would put such a finely tuned boss in the normal version of the instance. The limited attempt mechanic, coupled with next to no information about the boss created a buzz around the fight which hasn’t been seen for a while. Festergut gave us no problems at all, Rotface a […] Unity Path Achieve A Tribute To Insanity! (Faction First)This had to be one of the more annoying achievements. Two months ago, we blew it at 11% of the Anub’arak takedown due to an incredibly vexing oversight by a passive healer (the group died), and since then there’s been week after week of random disconnections of MT’s, a couple of questionable errors or just […] Unity Path Storm The Citadel! (Faction First)Icecrown was released with 3.3, the server was a laggy mess – virtually unplayable for the first two hours of our first sortie – but we got the job done without too much fuss. The difficulty seems very similar to the non-heroic Colosseum, and we await the real meat of the heroic versions of these […] Unity Path Achieve Realm First! Death’s DemiseAnd with the defeat of Yogg+0 came the Realm First! Death’s Demise titles, the second time we’ve taken the honour on Earthen Ring – the first of course being for the first kill of Algalon. A fitting reward for everyone for the half-year Ulduar campaign, and of course not forgetting those who missed out on […] Unity Path Achieve Alone In The Darkness! (Realm First)To say the previous weeks were scrappy on this fight would have been a gross understatement. The fine edge of doing Yogg+1 with less gear had been lost as we pushed hard into the Heroic Colosseum, and there were all sorts of errors on display in a prime example of deja-vu. However, a fairly brutal […] Unity Path Achieve A Tribute To Mad Skill! (Realm First)After narrowly missing A Tribute To Skill the previous week, we more than made up for that minor oversight by taking A Tribute To Mad Skill with 46 attempts remaining for the week. In fact, we were perilously close to taking the big one – 50/50 and A Tribute To Insanity, however we fumbled the […] Unity Path Defeat Anub’arak Heroic! (Realm First)It’s taken a month, but Anub’arak finally hit the deck. A number of the old hands were surprised by the sheer viciousness of the encounter design – this is a legitimate test. P1/P2 were sorted out to satisfaction after two weeks but P3, well P3 is something else entirely. There are some fights, and fight […] Unity Path Defeat The Twin Val’kyr Heroic! (Realm First)After two total wipe nights, we started to make progress on this fight – making steady progress until we hit the obligatory 1% wipe. A couple later, the fight was in the bag – and is definitely the first of the “proper” fights in the instance. Congratulations to the loot winners: Irisiri with [item]Twin Spike[/item], […] Unity Path Become Celestial Defenders!The defeat of Algalon (below), was only one part of the story. As Blizzard have stated repeatedly, they regard the defeat of Algalon as a particular milestone in the history of a Realm and reward that achievement with a unique title to those involved on the kill, and broadcast the event to everyone logged in, […] « go back — keep looking » |
