So after another week of barely doing anything (as you can tell from the lack of an update last week /rude 1017!), we finally got back down to some hardcore raiding.
We started raiding again, and we raided HARD!
We started working on some PoP progression finally. Our first guild "flag" kill was AD. Our first attempt, he creamed us around 18% health. In true UG fashion, we rezzed up, rebuffed, adjusted our strats, and killed him easily. Yay, a flag and rotting loot!
We knocked out Carprin on our first attempt. We were letdown after hearing how hard the cycle was. We never even saw the skelly adds. Boooo. Disappointed. Yay, a flag and rotting loot!
We ran Hedge once for the few members that didn't have this flag. Yay, a flag and rotting loot!
After those few flags, we decided to kill Cursed and Emp. Cursed brought the phat loot finally, and we now have our first Bloodfrenzy. After Cursed, XTC spawned and our spotter said he had a Hategiver, so we had to go kill him too. Emp...well...it's Emp. He gave us more phat lewtz.
After all those kills, we were lucky enough to get a patch. This bumped us up in the VT rotation. After all the hours we've spent learning the zone, it was finally time for us to test how much we had learned. Needless to say, we learned a hella lot more than we thought.
It was our first run through VT, and we went hardcore all the way. We kept pushing and pushing, and our numbers kept dwindling. But we weren't going to let that stop us. We were to close to our goal to stop and lose it to a certain Asian guild. About 35 of us dedicated ourselves to making sure AHR was ours and we would stay on until AHR was dead.
Hours later, our efforts paid off and we finally arrived at our goal. Not knowing the encounter, and low on numbers, we pulled. Adjusting the positioning/healing mid fight as we learned the mob was the only option. As we were all getting flung around the room, AHR's health kept slowly dropping. Forcing ourselves to remain focused as the sleep deprivation took it's toll was the most difficult part of the encounter.
A few minutes later, AHR laid dead at our feet, and well-earned loot was handed out as we all sat in awe. We finally beat Luclin.
And now for the $$$
OMG....2 pics because there was so much that the file was too large to upload!
Do unto others or some shit like that.

Posted by: Stooky at March 1, 2004 10:47 AMYes, the big fat edit monster has reared it's ugly head and called forth it's power of baleting before things got ugly.
Comments posted that were related to the "issue" were swallowed whole by the baleting edit monster.
In retrospect, I was extremely tired and mentally exhausted from our VT raid when I posted this, and that whole "issue" should not have made it here. It was a bad judgement call on my part, mainly because a guildtag was involved with it.
Here's my public apology to the guild officer (who's post got baleted) for not using better judgement on the whole issue, and at least tried to keep the guildtag issue out of the scenario.
