Unferth continues to have face slammed into the floor by the beasts on heroic mode. Progress is being made, p1 is being cleared cleanly most of the time and p2 is improving, we are seeing a lot more of Icehowl. The next check is the dps rate to beat the timer. Korenwolf has his drake,…

Hopefully a short series of posts, partly triggered by my own experiences of joining a 25-man progression alliance, a Guildie joining for a trial and random ponderings. So, you’ve decided that raiding is going to be your thing, you’ve committed to spending some of the hours which previous have been dedicated to questing, playing the…

Nadine Dorries was on the radio earlier whining on about the current part of the expenses scandal and came out with the line that this is just like a tax code being changed and retrospectively applied for several years.

3.3 PTR goes live (Oct 2nd), for a patch this size I reckon 4-6 weeks of testing before it hits the live.

It’s been a long time coming but we finally have cleared “Share the love” in TeamTinCan. A bit on the messy side but we got him down with everyone impaled. One more achievement on the way to the red drake.

Yoggie +3, I am expecting a rather large repair bill tonight.
