Busy First Week

We’re 5 bosses down in normal, and still another raid night to go. Some seriously fun fights in here.

Baleroc

Alysrazor

Lord Rhyolith

Beth’Tilac

I would have a screeny of Shannox here too, but his corpse despawned before we could get a photo. Shifty hunters.

Al’Akir (10 HM)

An excellent effort by our team, getting another progression kill under our belt on our very first day of attempts on him. Patch 4.2, fear Ajantis!

Nefarian (25 HM)

Blackwing’s Bane! A worthy achievement for the hard work put in by our raiders. A very big congrats to all!

Trolling the 25-man team and competing 10-normal.

So, after a few weeks break mostly spent helping out the 25-man team with their attendance issues, the Geriatrics finally got back to raiding as a team of semi-retired old farts and went to BWD for our one night of raiding per week.

We’re working on Nef-10-normal, doing well. Meanwhile, the 25-man team are spending their eleventy-seventh night working on Nef-25-hard.

We get to our break at 10:20-ish, when we decide to do this:

Old Farts get 10-hero, YARLY

Apparently we fooled about 75% of the 25-man team, including multiple officers. Go us!

Anyway, after the break, we got back to Nef and after a few more attempts where I finally learned:

  1. How to climb onto the damn pillar and interrupt
  2. How to kite adds

We got him down!

Might seem like small news to hard-mode raiders or people who do more than 4 hours a week, but that’s actually our goal for the tier achieved – all normal mode content cleared :D

Then the 25-man team have to go get 25-hard before I bother to post this.

Nef-10 dead

An excellent night had by all. A new boss down, and Nefarian to 6%! Great work team!

Omnomnomnomtron 25HM Down!

In quick succession to its demise in 10-man, the 25-man bunch of bolts are all dead. In our first night of proper attempts too! Congratulations guys!

Omnotron Heroic Down! (10 HM)

A seriously fun fight! I’m sure it won’t be long before we kill it 25man too!

Magmaw 25 and V&T 25 Heroic Down!

A well overdue update to our progression, we had our first kill of Magmaw 25HM only a week after our 10man kill, and got Valiona and Theralion 25HM two weeks ago. The dragons were an especially fun fight! Next on the list: Omnitron 25HM!

Geriatric Team is 11/12

Ajantis runs a retirement home for some of our ex-raiders – people who for whatever reason can no longer raid full time. For most (including Knaughty, who runs the team) it’s learning about the birds-and-bees, the hard way, via offspring…

The retirement home was name “The Geriatrics” by our Glorious-GM-of-the-moment, Efn.

Anyway, the team raids one night a week, four hours, 10-man-fairly-strict (we do the odd 25-man Baradin Hold with Nastre’s PvP crew).

We’ve finally managed to get our act together and stop farming 9/12 and actually do some progression – Cho’gall down, just Nefarian to go!

Magmaw (10 HM)

Due to the unfortunate situation in Japan, our guild has been suffering faulty connections and since we were unable to stay stable in 25man this week, we decided to go with a couple 10-man teams. Still, we got our kill target in 10man, which has more than prepared us for killing him in 25man once everyone’s stable!

Since one of our players was AFK for the screenshot, I decided to add him into it manually.
