Three Quarters then some Turkey

Nov 25, 2008   

In the spirit of a picture is worth a thousand words:




At this point, clearly it's a trivial accomplishment for a real raiding guild to blow through 25-man Naxx. But the more I think about it, the more I figure it's a good instance anyways.

The point of Naxx-25 is for more people to get into raiding by having a positive experience in the entry level raid dungeon. Got 25 people? Go do some fights with some basic mechanics and get some easy loot. Fair enough. Certainly this is a better extreme than a fight like HKM, which is decided in the first 2 seconds by whether or not you get the pull right and/or your tank gets one-shotted. Most importantly, we're having fun for the time being, which is why I used to play video games in the first place ;-)

At any rate, I'm out for some turkey. And beer. Lots of beer. I'll post when we finish clearing Naxx some time next week.

Back In the (Easymode) Saddle

Nov 24, 2008   

Formed up our first WotLK 25-man raid tonight. Stopped off to beat down Sartharion first, because dragon kill shots are really cool:



Next we cleared the spider wing of Naxx. Of course, there's some obvious concerns here with challenge level, considering we one-shotted two of the bosses, and two-shot the other.



The instructor was a bit tougher, but that was more because we didn't have any damned priests than that the fight was hard to execute on. In fact, you'll notice the following:

1. I didn't even get a screenshot of Maexxna
2. In the other screenshots, people are already running away

Basically, up until we got to instructor it was about as challenging as rolling through Mother trash. But anyways, here's the instructor kill shot:



And here's to cleaning out a few more wings tomorrow night. If turkey day wasn't in the way, I'm sure we'd probably have this place cleaned out by the end of next week. But oh well, I'll see you guys on the other side of some stuffing and gravy.

It seems like just last week we were raiding... and we're back. With about a dozen players at 80, we took 10 in and beat on Naxx for a bit.





First 2 wings of Naxx 10 cleared with little problem, 25 man clears inc.
