Sunwell Plateau: Kalecgos: posted by Kaidman 03/30/2008
Kalecgos loots: Fang of Kalecgos (rot woo), Bracers of the Forgotten Conqueror x2, Bracers of the Forgotten Vanquisher

Kalecgos down for the first time on Dunemaul. Great entry level boss for a zone. Not much of a dps/gear check but more of a coordination event.

Assent - proving even terribad servers can kill raid bosses since July 06.




Patch 2.4: Congratulations Terribads: posted by Kaidman 3/25/2008
Patch 2.4 loots: Trade in Badge of Justice for your choice of any item in game.

As I was road raging on my way to work at 6am I decided you, Johnny McTerrible, deserved a good morning celebratory Patch 2.4 release day update. That's right kids all of those long hard months of Tier 4 and 5 have paid off. If you're level 70 and can manage to find the zone in of Hyjal Summit and Black Temple you can come pretend to be worth a damn. Beware Doomwalker outside of Black Temple, he is bound to pick off half of your raid members on the way in.

After seeing the initial patch notes for 2.4 we nearly ceased to exist as a guild in World of Warcraft. Officers took about a week off of WoW, taking the extra time to play other games and shine our pistols. After much searching for alternatives we realised there really wasn't much other options for now, which is most unfortunate since WoW is a casual friendly piece of dog shit game. So we stuck to our 2-3 day raid schedule, never really pushing the limits of speed clearing Hyjal or BT because.. well there was nothing else to look forward to the rest of the week. Yes, it's true, we're a bunch of video game freaks. If we aren't raiding we're probably logged on doing something else or off playing another game. If you prefer to watch TV 8 hours a night, have fun with it pal.

Today 2.4 is released and casuals receive a steak dinner of Tier 6 for free or a few Badge of Justices. For us hardcores who push the game to the limits we get thrown a bone, no not a juicy steak bone, more like a fish bone that just poked through the side of your mouth while eatting some bluegill. After 9 months of nothing new we get three whole raid bosses, and then after an unknown amount of time they are going to open up a fourth, then a fifth and sixth. At that point we get to wait another 6-9 months before the expansion. Exciting huh?

At least between 2.4 and WOTLK we'll have the Season 4 patch which will further diminish any semblance of a difference between raiders and people who can manage to get their dick out of their pants to take a piss. Am I saying that raiding is hard-mode and nothing else in WoW compares? Not really, but it sure as fuck does require a lot more work to get done for people like myself trying to run a guild successfully.

Enough ranting for now. To my pals who are also pissed about Patch 2.4: Badge Loot for Terribads, don't get too upset. It will take McTerribles from now until WOTLK to even get a full set, if they even finish it off.

Yours truly,
Kaidman
