Well friends, this news was supposed to happen last weekend
proclaiming a clean & triumphant kill of Prince Hylas!
Unfortunately... several things conspired to prevent such an update.
Without pointing fingers, naming names or revealing too much...
I will chalk it up to 3 things.
Dancing & Drinking @ a wedding
Untimely microphone malfunction
and likely the most obvious reason:
And so it is, this update will consist of our first kill of Oracle Aleria
(which actually happened last week!)
However! Since it sounds better than "Almost killed Prince Hylas!"
Lets begin this news by celebrating her easy and timely demise.
______________________________________The raid started with 2 easy and quick kills on Duke Latereus and Infiltrator Johlen.
Time for Oracle Aleria!
We had attempted her a couple of times at the end of a previous raid
and knew with just a bit of tweaking we'd have her down faster than Itunes face in a cake plate! and.. we did.
^^true story
Congrats to Miiya (belt), Phadra (necklace) and Boxcar on his new gloves!
3 GSB bosses down in one sitting!
______________________________________After last Thursdays defeat of Oracle Aleria, our next raid fell on the River of Souls World Event day.
This meant 4 hour que's and some of us were able to log in just as the event closed.
We started the night by checking out the new raid instance.
Killed a few trash mobs and claimed our first RoS pretty!
Congrats to Kenjin!
______________________________________With most of us anxious to get our hands on Prince Hylas
we decided to forego further exploration in RoS and head to Greenscale.
Our Prince awaits!
With our fearless leaders Cyprian & Cressida unable to attend
Kenjin, Accali and Itunes stepped up
and helped us make many fruitful attempts.
(for those who dont know... wwc&cd = "what would cyprian and cressida do")
I must say, I've never been more proud to wear the <Vanguard> tag
as I was on this particular night.
When your raid spends 4 hours, 24 wipes
and countless strategy tweaks
while maintaining a fun atmosphere through-out.
You know youre in the trenches with a crew you can count on to overcome any obstacle.
Alot of time was spent like this:
But we were able to fight through phase 1
and make a small bit of headway into phase 2!
By the end of the night I think we had a good idea what to expect
and how to maneuver our way through this event.
Expect to see the corpse shot of this guy very soon!
______________________________________This concludes our raid update for last Thursday and Saturday...
During the current week we've continued with expert raid rifts,
conquered the first 3 bosses in GSB again and had another shake
@ Prince Hylas. Mark my words - Today is the day.
______________________________________I will leave you with some parting words of things overheard in chat this past week!
Sacrifice or IFail?
Poor Tae lol =/
Kenjin has finally been usurped as guild Drama Queen!
Your Officers, hard at work...
Srsly? it's no wonder he cant get a group!
Things you dont want to hear your mage say in DSM:
OK folks, the next update will be filled with corpse shots and hylas loots
Zavihs knows! just gotta stay alive!!
